LotFP is perhaps my favorite fantasy retro-clone to date. Grindhouse emphasizes player apprehension and uncertainty. The spell list seems straight out of a great old one's grimoire. Magic items are less prevalent than in other fantasy retro-clones, encouraging players to rely on roleplaying wits rather than powerful weapons. Instead of a bestiary, Grindhouse offers excellent advice on creating custom monsters. DnD 5E will have to be DARN good to tear me away from this.
