[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 9541484, member: 5142"] I can't say that I agree with this in the slightest. Even a cursory glance at OSR games shows a lot of innovation, creativity, and new directions beyond late 70s game design. That said, I don't think that OSR is trying to reinvent the wheel. I think that they are trying to create good games that they enjoy. Simple as that. You don't enjoy them? Then don't play them. No need to talk ill about them because they don't suit your fancy. And part of this is just veiled insults about the OSR movement that attempts to depict it with shallow reasons such as just these people being backwards thinkers, pursuing rose-colored nostalgia, trend chasing hipsters, and people that hate all things modern. Maybe there are other reasons for this that don't involve negatively characterizing people and games? I don't really see the need for this sort of negative characterization, Remathilis.
