Retro-gaming

[Sonny]

On a completely unrelated subject, can someone tell me in what year this video game was made?

Mega Man

Made last year. Role-playing games aren't the only entertainment medium enjoying an old school renaissance of sorts.

Slightly back on topic: Don't think for a moment that all of us who play retro-games are old geezers and that this is all about nostalgia. I run Labyrinth Lord and that might be a bit of nostalgia there, I admit, but I also run Swords & Wizardry, and I was 5 when that came out. To add to this, a friend's 16 year old son bought a 4e PHB, read through it and took it back to play with us old guys because S&W and LL are easier to learn and a snap to play. No nostalgia there, and really, no influence, I offered to run 4E every so often if he wanted to play; to get people into gaming I will run any version of D&D to the best of my ability. I do admit to being glad that he made the decision he did though.

I will always stand by my claim that there is more than enough room for all of us to enjoy our game of preference without bickering, especially seeing that there is no real way to pigeon-hole those who play anything from 0E to 4E.
