Vaalingrade
Legend
No one is 'offended' that he enjoys that kind of play.If someone is offended that @Jack Daniel enjoys a particular type of hard-earned victory, they can speak for themselves. This is the sort of thing I was getting at. One rarely sees this sort of policing done to trad and OC/neo-trad play. Yes, there are arguments, but those involve actual people advocating for what they do.
The problem is that he and other people who talk about OSR just can't resist taking needless shots.
And if you're going to say we were taking shots talking about the 'be a coward or die' element, this very story shows the party getting mauled in both combats they entered and most of the session being about bypassing fights.
