[QUOTE="chirine ba kal, post: 7654071, member: 6779612"] Thank you for your kind words! :) May I very politely and respectfully submit that I may not be a very good resource for 'old school gaming'? I play and run my games very much the same way as we did here in the Twin Cities back in the mid 1970s to mid 1980s; I have been told, by a number of the more well-known folks in the 'OSR', that I simply don't qualify as an 'OSR gamer' because of this. I'm simply too old, and too set in my ways; I don't play any of the games that modern gamers seem to take for granted, and I still do the kind of 'broad spectrum' of games that we used to do hereabouts back in 'Ye Olden Days'. I've never really played what most folks call "D&D"; I played something called "Blackmoor" with Dave Arneson, something called "Greyhawk" later on with Gary Gygax, and something called Tekumel with M. A. R. Barker for many years. All three had their own styles of play, and their own house rules. I do not have a good grasp of a lot of the issues and trends in modern gaming; I am much more like a fly in amber, then anything else... :) Having said that, if there is anything that you can take away from my little effort in the way of a blog, then please feel free to have a look and have fun with it. "The game's the thing!", as Hamlet once said... ;) - chirine [/QUOTE]
