People are restoring very old cars to this day, vintage fashion is plenty popular and there are extremely profitable sports/ FPS AAA games that put out a near identical product every single year- people like nostalgic stuff, especially as the hobby's mainsteam gets fuether and further away from its original roots. I nominated OSRIC 3E as one of my most anticipated games of 2025 on this site, alongside Broken Empires which is basically a mishmash of several well known and established systems.I also like the new stuff, I've been playing in a long term Cairn campaign, some Crown & Skull, and love me some Realms of Peril and Chasing Adventure. However, these don't scratch the same itch. As for the suggestion to go back to the originals: some won't want to give money to a corporation they view as pretty hostile or uncaring, but the truth is we are spoiled by modern era standards of layout and editing.And maybe creating a B2 equivalent is easy for you, as a veteran and blogger, but it's not for most people. I still struggle with it sometimes, and I sure as hell cannot come close to a quality published product. So in my view there is actually a great deal of value in all of these. Itch has no shrtage of creators not interested in nostalgia, not to mention 5e/ PF2E. No harm in a niche within a niche. I really try to stay away from political drama, my 2 cents are that if we boycotted every creator we vehemently disagreed with on some topic or another, there would be no hobby today. Play what you like, keep the argumento for outside the table. Others will see it differently.Happy new year!BTW, to anyone playing Dragonslayer long term, does it feel different? the situational modifiers intrigue me, as I'm trying to make my players more tactically minded with time.</blockquote>
