[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 9712279, member: 50987"] Both of these statements are true for me. The most heartbreaking thing about OSR, for me, is how it has been co-opted and twisted by a vocal minority. Old School Renaissance. That name used to conjure up memories of playing the Red Box Rules with my middle-school friends, good times on The Isle of Dread and the Master of the Desert Nomads...the game had more freedom, more creativity, the rules were there but they weren't in the way, ya know? But now, instead, that name only conjures up memories of YouTube clickbait, reaction videos, and gray-haired gatekeepers making hurtful comments about my friends. ~sigh It could have been awesome, but alas.
