How does Basic Fantasy RPG compare to actual old games instead of retroclones?

I haven’t played Basic Fantasy RPG or most other clones, since I still have my old books when I want an old school game.  I have read BF and it is essentially a retroclone of Basic D&D {cleaned-up OD&D) with a few upgrades.  You can download it free from Dragonsfoot, along with many campaign and adventure supplements, and supplements that add elements from AD&D.

The most noticeable changes I see are:

Race and class are separated as in AD&D, so you can have a dwarf thief, etc.  Elves alone may take a combination class of fighter/magic-user or magic-user/thief.

AC #s are flipped to the modern progression, so better armor has a higher AC #, and a +1 armor piece makes numerical sense.

Attacks are resolved by adding an attack bonus to a d20 roll and comparing to the target AC #, exactly like 5e D&D, instead of using a table or THAC0 to resolve.

It looks like a solid option for anyone who wants to use a new supported product instead of the original old Basic/Expert books, especially if you want to use the modern AC/to hit mechanics.  The expanded campaign topics like sea travel and hirelings are presented clearly and could be a good quick reference source to use with other OSR games.

are you saying I need to mate with my Woobat to get it to evolve?

Ahem: “A Trainer must replace these important bonds with a close friendship if they wish for their Woobat to evolve.“

So nah, just be a real good bud.

But why can Remoraid evolve without Mantykes?

Maybe Remoraid only evolve if they’re not with a Mantyke? If they’re with one, they have added protection and don’t need to fend for themselves really, so they don’t need to grow stronger and evolve.

You're too kind! My digital handwriting is messier than my regular written handwriting, so it bugs me. Thanks for the compliment though!
