The return of Stafford & Peterson to Chaosium is just one example. The OSR may be another one. So why should the OSR have been included in the book about the 2000s when the 2nd wave of OSR-Games (LotFP, Stars Without Number, Crypts & Things, DCC RPG) arrived the early 2010s and a 3rd wave might be on it's way (beyond the wall?) ?Athairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712487007746911491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-12350223165095858762015-07-18T07:45:49.367-04:002015-07-18T07:45:49.367-04:00I'm not all that OSR-minded but even I can see...I'm not all that OSR-minded but even I can see the relevance and impact of it.

So it's not all bad. <br /><br />As for whether the coverage he gives it is fair and balanced, well we'll just have to wait and see.Jezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648892955926127864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-23187316234478588252015-07-16T20:24:31.239-04:002015-07-16T20:24:31.239-04:00What's a wtf D&D article?

They brook no dissent. Honestly, you can be banned for quoting the dictionary to show that one of the elite is misusing and abusing the language in their persecution of someone they disagree with. True story.

The references to old games not adapting to "innovations" found in "storygames" and his odd use of the number of supplements published somehow equating to whether a game was good stood out. Not surprising that he would do this as well.
