[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7680900, member: 85555"] The OSR is more than juts rehashing older editions of D&D though. There are a lot of games outside clones that take inspiration from the OSR movement. I think even things like Dungeon World are arguably influenced by some of the back to basics of the OSR. If you check out Story-games.com for example there are a bunch of threads that are obviously inspired by things going on in the OSR community. OSR isn't just about mechanics alone and it isn't about not inventing anything new. I would maybe compare it more to the grunge explosion in the 90s. Personally not a fan of that music but what it looked like they were doing wasn't just going back and rehashing 60s - early 70s style rock, they were ignoring a lot of the aesthetics that emerged form the late 70s through the 80s, and using a lot of the earlier sound as a starting point for building something new. I think that is kind of how the OSR is now. There are people playing nothing but OD&D, but there are also people doing innovative things. [/QUOTE]
