For me, nostalgia is less about time and more about how hard it is to recreate the experience. For example, I currently have more nostalgia for 2000-ish video games, because emulating systems like the Dreamcast is kinda difficult. Whereas I feel less nostalgia for a lot of NES games, because it's very easy to emulate them. On the RPG side, I feel mildly nostalgic for 3.X style games with high crunch. But my group is pretty entrenched in 5e right now. I would love to play in a good 3.5e game, and I think it would be a lot of fun to see how they work with a VTT. However, I do not feel nostalgic enough to motivate me to DM one of the those game. Maybe one day. But today is not that day, tomorrow doesn't look good, and next month isn't looking bright, either. The other thing that 5e is pushing me into nostalgia for is a low-magic game. 5e can do a lot of things well, but the default magic level is very high. Luckily, I got some time at a gaming convention recently where I got to do some OSR stuff that helped a lot. [/QUOTE]
