Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snarf Zagyg" data-source="post: 9786870" data-attributes="member: 7023840">This is something I truly don't understand. Let's say that you, like me, enjoy 1e (AD&D). Or, like you, enjoy Basic (BECMI, RC, B/X). Or OD&D. Or 2e. Here's the thing. All the TSR-era products are interoperable. As I've written before, B2 is a module written for OD&D rules that was published and used with Basic, and ran by people playing with AD&D. With minimal effort, you can use all of the TSR-era products that you want with any of those systems! Any TSR product for OD&D, Basic, 1e, and 2e.But wait, there's more. There was also a wealth of 3PP published back in the day. All of that 3PP? Yep, you can use that as well. Everything from Dragon and Dungeon Magazine articles to modules like The Clockwork Mage to The Compleat Adventurer. But wait, there's even more. People today still release all sorts of OSR product that you can use, and have been doing so consistently for years. They do it for pay, and they do it for free. New content? Find me a single person who has used every last bit of all the content that is already out there ... just one. There's multiple lifetimes of gaming available- far too much for any table to play through if they had all the time to do so. And all of that is before we even start to think about homebrew- which is really the origin of the hobby. I honestly don't understand this objection. Which means, IMO, that this isn't the actual objection. The actual underlying issue is a little different- it's not the lack of material. It's that people are using this as a placeholder to complain about how not enough people share the same gaming preferences as the person making the complaint.TLDR; I know that I can get mushrooms on pizza at every pizzeria, but why isn't there more support for mushrooms on pizza?</blockquote>
