Old school will mean different things here to different people, but I'm just looking at the term as a general reference to "back in the day" gaming.I've seen people refer to old school gaming as overrated, or that those times weren't as good as people actually remember, etc. Others still think of those times as the best of times.So I'm asking the question is Old School overrated as it has come up in the "Dealing with an "oldschool" DM" thread (<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/" target="_blank">here</a>)I don't know the answer, even for myself, primarily because my memory is completely shot. I do recall having a LOT of fun back then - maybe even more fun than I have now - but I'm not sure if it was actually a better experience, or if it is burned into my memory as so much fun because it was new and I glazed over the problem areas.So yea I don't know myself, but I'm curious if you think things were better in general "back then" or if things are better now - and in what way(s) perhaps?</blockquote>
