Its a clamoring for things that have come before; a different (and older) gaming philosophy. But don't make the mistake that thinking that its the equal of the games of 2010 either.For example, if I created a Pathfinder class that gave 2 hit dice at first level, gave + 1 to hit/damage every 2 levels, but didn't allow the character to pick ANY feats (even the standard odd-number level ones) or wear any magical items; people would be up in arms. Its not balanced! It breaks the current power acquisition scale! It doesn't fit with the other classes!Yet AD&D 1e's monk did just that! It sticks out against the other classes like a sore thumb! So does exceptional strength, for that matter. I don't think we'll ever see a OGL game that uses something like that UNLESS its trying to emulate that brand of old-school play.There will come a point that even 3e's system will begin to show its "exceptional strength" concepts and people will want something a bit more "modern". That is when PF 2.0 will come. Nostalgia isn't a black word (even though a lot of people use it as such) its just a desire for an era of play that has come and is now gone from modern RPGs.</blockquote>
