How old school is your game?

Frost · Post by **Frost** » Tue May 26, 2009 6:21 pm

I'm not sure if you folks follow many of the "old school" gaming blogs, but there has been a recent hub-bub about what that term means and to what it should be applied. Me? I don't really care. However, this hilarious table came out as a result of the debate, so it wasn't entirely worthless...

According to that, my game is very, very old school. Like, it almost predates school, so maybe its preschool.... yeah! That's it! More like womb-school.

I think it means that some folks have way too much time on their hands, since they spend much time debating endlessly over useless and irrelevant sophistry, and need to go out and find a girl.

Fun! Thanks for sharing. According to this, my game has dropped a few points recently due to using pre-painted plastic mini's. My old AD&D games (and first year of running C&C) was largely the imagination.

I've gotten too lazy and accommodating for some of my less experienced players.

Wow! I knew listening to RUSH had benefits!

Thanks for the interjection of politics into an otherwise innocuous thread.

This tiptoes pretty close to the edge of the political topics policy. In light of Steve's recent rant in another thread, I think a warning is appropriate rather than a week's vacation. Needless to say, I'm going to come down hard on this from now on.

Adjust your commentary accordingly, everyone.

OK, I thought it was a personal insult, but I guess he is considered political now a days. Oh well, at least I got inspiration for a magic item out of the post.

Not a fan either but I wasn't even born until 1977 and have never played 1E - just 2E, Red Box and 3.X D&D. So I guess I'm not Old School enough for the elite.

And to think that I've watched your 4E-related posts with interest AND agreed with them 99% of the time.

For shame.
