Message: <blockquote data-quote="aramis erak" data-source="post: 8888919" data-attributes="member: 6779310">Pundit is very much a vocal OSR guy, albeit the retro he aims for is mid-80's in his designs.  Hang around his site, and that's VERY evident.Zac Smith is the Vornheim guy; he also wrote several other products for LotFP (the company and the game). LotFP is one of the better known OSR games.Before their breakup, Satine contributory to Zac's OSR designs. Her newer projects are OSR adjacent. Her new (supposedly) husband, Jamison, is engaging with her in what appears to be a major fraudulent kickstarter, and her association with Zac puts her adjacent to the OSR crowd as well. Most of the people I've seen griping about  having been takenby her  are very much part of the OSR movement.LaNasa and Ernie are very much OSR. Gygax Magazine (short lived as it was) was Luke and Ernie, and very much OSR aimed and supported. It wasn't purely OSR, but it was trading on the name value. Don't know which of LaNasa or Ernie is the one with the dog whistle, or if it's both. Either way, tho', the other's clearly either sympathetic &/or totally clueless. Given the legal holes they have dug, clueless is probable, but severe racism can't be ruled out by being clueless, either. Given some of the quotes of Gary by TSR alumni, and the affiliation of Gary and MAR "Phil" Barker, with the recent revelations of Phil's connection with seriously racist writings... it raises questions about Gary and how Gary's kids were raised - all of them, not just Luke and Ernie. As you note, the other two have avoided most of the spotlight of shame...Adam Koebel is cited in the OSR handbook's list of contributors; he's also the guy behind Dungeon World - which, despite not being an old school game itself (PBTA), is very much an attempt to shoehorn OSR into the AWE/PBTA.  He was involved with the development of Torchbearer (which, while also not an OSR ruleset, is built around the OSR theme and old-school settings - I was actively following its development at the time). I do research before posting most of the time.</blockquote>
