[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8934722, member: 5142"] It's fairly interesting to me how some of what I have read about Ron Edwards writing about certain strands within the [I]plurality[/I] of D&D's gaming [I]cultures[/I], isn't all that different from what OSR and FKR communities have talked about those same strands of D&D, such as how they speak of "Dragonlance" almost as a naughty word. Edwards, for example, emphasizes "folk traditions" in D&D while also resisting what can feel like GM-authored story railroading and D&D metaplots, whether their own or as supplied by an adventure path. If Ron Edwards wants to crap on metaplots in D&D, then he better get in line behind [I][B]all the [/B][/I][B][I]D&D fans on this forum [/I][/B]who persistently crap on the various metaplots forced onto their favorite settings by TSR or WotC: e.g., Dragonlance, Planescape, Forgotten Realms, etc. Edit: Also, a lot of Ron Edwards's long form essays ironically read a lot like Snarf's thread editorials on these forums. 🤷‍♂️ As an aside, for all the talk about how "Ron Edwards hates traditional gaming," it's amusing how many videos he has on YouTube where he's gushing about how much he likes Glorantha and RuneQuest.
