This is poor wording on my part, and I apologize for that. When I said “old school” (in quotes) I specifically meant those people who are anti anything new because of inclusion, and not the people who just enjoy OSR and have played for a long time. I missed the quotes in error the second time...
For some people, I understand what “the old days” means and it’s better left dead. Other than a little bit of AD&D in grade school, my first experience was playing 2e in the 90s with a group that thought it was great fun for my character to be brutally and graphically raped. That was the kind of...

I watched a few minutes of Jim Ward on YouTube yesterday, and it sounds like he has no understanding of what just happened. It was as if the transphobic and racist comments...
Interesting, and definitely explains some clashes in style. I prefer active play style, and probably 75% or more of people I’ve played with over the years do too. Even the quiet ones at the table tend to be more active than passive once they feel comfortable enough to role play.
The worst...
