Message: <blockquote data-quote="Korgoth" data-source="post: 4405586" data-attributes="member: 49613">Yes, I would allow for that possibility. It just wasn't operative in this case.Here's the sentence that set me off:"The only way I can see all those 1st e stuff being on the list is for nostalgic reasons."So this guy can only see so many 1E (and, presumably, the older material) modules being on people's lists because of "nostalgia". That is simply wrong.  There are perfectly reasonable factors that would cause a person to put older modules on their list.  There are a number of differences between many of the classic modules and the sort of stuff that is produced nowadays. And I can see a person being aware of those differences and still perferring the more recent offerings. Just like I can see a person saying that they prefer V-Larp to tabletop gaming... I have nothing in common with that kind of aesthetic position and probably wouldn't be inclined to hang out with that person, but there are differences between the two pursuits and therefore grounds for distinguishing one taste from another.It's offensive to just toss off a handwaving dismissal of appreciation for old school modules as mere "nostalgia". Nostalgia in many, if not most, cases has nothing to do with it. They are genuinely good modules for the sort of things they set out to do. Now if "knightofround" doesn't want to buy what they're selling, no problem. But he shouldn't throw around such rude dismissals. I mean, I could say that everyone who likes 3rd and 4th ed modules is just some candy raver whose mind has been blown on X, but it would be both erroneous and extremely unfair.</blockquote>
