That doesn't *sound* like me as I have never invented anything when it comes to RPG stuff.
In fact, I don't really value novelty in RPGs as I am aware that the hobby is trending away from my preferred style. If you look at my blog, most of the stuff I write about is older and when I do look at new stuff it is generally in terms of 'did this work for me?'
@Taskerland "Noticing an OSR personality" this is your first error.

@Taskerland OSR personalities and an inability to read, name a more iconic duo (other than OSR personalities and latent fascist leanings, i guess)

I also acknowledge that there is innovation in the OSR, it's just that most of these innovations serve to make OSR games less attractive to me as a GM.
In fact, most modern OSR stuff is less useful, less interesting, and less evocative to me than OG D&D stuff from the 80s and I can only account for that difference in terms of innovations introduced by the OSR.

@Taskerland I dislike the implicit wording of OSR as if this is what we did in.. some halcyon gaming era when we played "like that"
And I didn't, and you can step off my porch.

That's totally a French-Symbolist Era type poet thing to announce when you are at the time being inert to the point of sessile smoking opium.

Always interesting when people talk about you in an unguarded manner but I did not expect to be accused of stealing ideas from the OSR.

@Taskerland Yes it's demeaning, we both know you steal your ideas from Joris-Karl Huysmans
Suggesting you steal from OSR is contemptible slander.

I don't care about that, I want to find strange random information about Vazh that I can bring up in two years time in a weird bespoke meme.

Actually if only two people get it, and it never goes viral it's not a meme, it's a picture I suppose.
