Has anyone else heard anything about a new 2ndAD&D "clone" from New Haven Games called "Myth & Magic"

I remember reading something about it on Dragonsfoot - But I'm in work & our system blocks Dragonfoot (as a gambling site!).

The more I read about 4FR, the more depressed I am.

They released a Starter Kit for Myth & Magic for members of the community. They call it an update and slight expansion. It seems to be going over well with those who have tried it.

There is also the OSRIC game that is fully useful with 1st Ed. AD&D too.

I love these sorts of things...

The Old Grey Box and AD&D for me!

I just took a look-over of Myth & Magic. It sure seems to borrow a lot from 3rd, but also from 1st! (Assassination anyone?) I like the idea of allowing Priests and Mages to get spells back with re-memorization, as the penalties are fairly harsh but potentially make low level casters much more viable. That said, I've never been at a loss for what to do when I run out of my one spell; start hurling daggers!

I will probably pick up the book to incorporate some of the rules when it comes out, but we'll likely stick to basic 2E with the usual slew of house rules.

If Dungeons & Dragons is shortened to D&D, then Myth & Magic is M&M!

That doesn't sound so promising, what parts are rewritten/changed?

Anyway, I have more than enough 2nd edition books, so the rules in themselves have limited appeal. But it would be interesting to see if any future products were compatible.
