The developer of the Kickstarter project mentioned that he was getting "hate" about his OSR content. I thought to myself "Hate? for old school gaming? Why? Who's doing this?" I quickly jumped out of bed and did a search on Google still rubbing the sleep from my eyes. I found your article "Hate for the OSR?" It turned out to be the perfect precursor to enlightenment. <br /><br />I like "Old School" gaming because of the nostalgia of it. I also like 5e because of its innovations and progressive rule set. So, I'm like an up to date boomer who understands. Yet, I don't like to be bullied by young punks on the internet either! <br /><br />Just wanted to say I liked your blog post, keep on trekking!<br /> ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599094577673615180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101233279966771527.post-64957873249900779402020-03-04T09:47:12.010-08:002020-03-04T09:47:12.010-08:00Glad to see you back in action, Ed!

They often came from the exact same people, too. In fact, some of them were airing the same opinions on RPGNet in the early 2000s, they were just targeting D&D in general instead of old-school gamers. And if you look at what they are saying now, you will see that they still don't like the rest of D&D either.<br /><br />The good thing about a long-term perspective is that we can recognise people as the same bullshit-peddlers who were already peddling their stuff ten, fifteen or twenty years ago. We can recognise the pattern and just stop giving a hoot about the opinions of people who want our games dead and us out of the hobby. Pattern recognition is one benefit of age! :)Melanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165894144553629675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101233279966771527.post-64729179323718037162019-05-17T11:25:55.566-07:002019-05-17T11:25:55.566-07:00Not a story telling game, but one crafts a story a...Not a story telling game, but one crafts a story as they go along, for sure. But it is an immersion-centered, exploratory romp through one;s imagination and beyond. Will we survive? What's around the next corner? Life? Death? Riches and rewards or a terror -filled encounter with the unknown that we must reckon with? We don;t know do we? Just like in real life. It's unpredictable. As real Fantasy should be.
