I read your article on Tracy Hickman. You are entitled to your opinion, of course, and I'm entitled to disagree with that opinion. The article and the hateful comments various other people posted was enough to tell me that Grognardia is a place that I do not wish to visit.

I have no beef with anyone who disagrees, even strongly, with what I actually wrote; it's the intemperate reactions to things I never wrote that drive me batty.

Just like any other producer of gaming material, I will let the product speak for itself.

Hah! In the Multiverse endless realities are possible. So there is a reality where you actually wrote these lines. Therefore these paraphrasings are correct somewhere.

Thinking about it, there must be a reality with a James M. who plays a Scimitar whielding Drow Ranger.

he's right- PF & SW, fine games they may on their own merit, are def not part of the OSR market. If the EE folks feel otherwise, then I would say they are definitely out of touch.

He's certainly right about that. But he's wrong in suggesting that anybody said they were. "Old school approach" with newer games isn't exactly a novel idea and the concept shouldn't be so incomprehensible to James M. One is instead left with the impression that he's unhappy because they aren't doing what he wants them to do, which is rather peevish.

I'm beginning to think that if something happens in the old school community without an "OH THE DRAMA!" moment, it didn't really happen at all...

A sign of the apocalypse.


Not that that is a bad thing.

You mean this article, where James allegorically suggests that Hickman "saved" D&D for a whole generation of fans?

Madness!

Truth is I'm not much of a forum-user and never have been. With the exception of Fin's OD&D Discussion, I rarely visit forums, let alone post to them. But I was getting a lot of hits to my blog from this thread and I was curious to see what it was all about, so here I am.

Don't worry: I won't stay.
