Topic: Retro-Clone of...?

So... I know that Raggi can't answer that directly due to legal reasons and whatnot, but to everyone else... LotFP is a retro-clone of OD&D, or another version? I'm really curious at this point!

To the best of my understanding it's inspired by Basic/Expert D&D (Mentzer editions)

Systemic fingerprints aside, the LotFP solo tutorial adventure is the twisted twin of what appears in the red box.

Yeah, I would also say it's most similar to Basic / Expert rulebooks by Moldvay, Cook and Marsh.
