Null This is a space with a large oversampling of people who have suffered abuse on centralized platforms both want to be able to speak publicly but also have total control over who can hear them.
The lack of emotional maturity is systemic.

Read this if you want a reminder why people still hang out on #X / #Twitter , #Facebook , #Instagram and so forth.Indeed. “If you build it, they will come” still demands that you build it, first.

Noticing an OSR personality accusing me of downplaying the innovations of the OSR and presenting many of the scene's innovations as my own.Games People Play Not really. It was a rejection of 4e and a desire to return to something that felt like a TSR product, which basically meant resetting the clock. There really isn’t anything inherently opposed to continuing to evolve from that point.
But it seems like a lot of modern OSR have abandoned the design principles of B/X/AD&D/2Dungeons2Dragons to slap mechanics and systems that clearly follow from modern, standardized and systematized games.

Noticing an OSR personality accusing me of downplaying the innovations of the OSR and presenting many of the scene's innovations as my own.Moreau Vazh There is something of a… contradiction doesn’t feel quite rifght… disconnect, maybe? in many of these “old school” revival “innovations”.
So many of them do not feel like natural evolutions of B/X or AD&D. There’s something remarkably 2020s feeling about them. As if the only thing that draws the designers to OSR is the grotesque aesthetic.
