Is there a specific rule set that is needed?

What about modules and/or extensions?

Are these rules fully implemented or are there things that have to be done manually?

Is there a "sticky list" I missed that lists which OSR style rules are available?

Not sure about LL but Castles and Crusades is a nice OSR style game, and then there's always the new AD&D Classics ruleset based off of 2e.

I have a bunch of LL stuff in PDF and it would be nice to put it to use with FG.

Its closest to D&D B/X or B/E so there is no matching ruleset.
2E is your closest bet.
C&C might be closer in feel with less options than 2E.

I read that Labyrinth Lord Advanced was Labyrinth Lord (BECMI compatible).
How different is LL from the D&D Basic that comes with FG?

What is this D&D Basic you refer to?

Ummm... Am I the only one that has it included in my rule bundle?

It depends what you're actually referring to. There's the D&D 5E basic rules library module that comes with FG? Maybe some more info of what you're referring to?

That's 5th Edition D&D, not BECMI edition D&D.

I see 5e listed separately. Are there multiple entries for 5th?

You should probably post some screenshots because i think we are lost...

I'm assuming he means these:

Which are simply the FG adaptations of the D&D Basic Rules PDFs available on the D&D site. (https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules) Been awhile since I've compared but I think the 5E SRD, limited as it may be, contains more information/data than the Basic Rules do.

You will only see those if you're in a D&D 5E session; hence they are 5E only not the ancient BASIC D&D things, which does not exist in any official context on Fantasy Grounds.

Yeah, provide screenshots of exactly what you're referring to please. Because the sparse info you're giving us at the moment isn't helping to clarify anything.

Yes, sorry for the confusion. Mostly mine.

I was hoping this was a standalone OSR D&D rule set.
