Has anyone put together a list of the D&D retroclones / derivatives and the like in order of relative rules complexity? I'm avoiding the "crunch" label so as not to offend sensitive readers.
I'm talking everything from Swords & Wizardry (all 3 flavors) to Hackmaster (2 flavors) and everything in between and beyond. Besides being a useful list of clones in general, a nice chart would help the prospective GM find a game that is right for his gaming style while still being familiar to those that grew up on Gygax D&D up though Pathfinder.
I realize that much of this would be subjective, and the complexity label might work better as a general banding system.
If it hasn't been done yet, would there be an interest in seeing one get completed?
I'd like to see that attempted. I think you're right that there will be some disagreement, but it would be interesting to see just wide a range there is.
