[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6409133, member: 177"] But #3 is fundamentally incompatible with #1, as other games of the period (which is very broad, by the way, spanning decades) are not compatible with any form of D&D. Which is funny, because FATE is rather in line with #2. I can't tell if you're going for "OSR = 1 AND 2 AND 3" (which I've shown is not self-consistent) of "OSR = 1 OR 2 OR 3", which I've shown doesn't really hold, as folks will kick out things that meet one of those criteria for other reasons. I see that you address some of this later, but I maintain that if it is that confusing, it isn't really one thing. So, I think you cannot win with definition of it as one thing. Now, split "OSR" into it's own factions, and note that those factions have tended to come together for some reason, and you might have something. [/QUOTE]
