K, this is where I point out an inaccuracy. There is a claim that Mazes & Perils is the "first Holmes D&D clone".
Mazes & Perils is NOT the first Holmes D&D clone. That honor belongs to Holmes 77.
Holmes 77 was produced by R.C. Pinnell in 2011, making it the first Holmes-based retroclone available to the OSR community.
Mazes & Perils (2012) credits Pinnell as an "additional contributor," presumably because of their work on Holmes ’77.
That's the facts.
