Survivor Iconic Cities- GREYHAWK WINS!

[Maxperson]

Are people still using "grognard" as a pejorative? In 2018?

Ah well. I guess I'd rather be stuck in the 1980s than stuck in 2008.

It depends on the context of its use. Some people throw it at you as a pejorative, others don't.

I see it as a compliment, whatever the intention of the person uttering it. Proud to be a Grog, it's a badge of honour. The youngsters will understand when they reach our age... currently 'tis beyond them, they lack our wisdom.

Hail Lord Gygax, and prostrate yourself before the images of Kaye and Arneson.

I voted straight Greyhawk, and I am not a "Grognard," I was born in 1985. I just like iconic D&D, man.

Well worked out...

A very apt typo given our age..

Meh, Grognards gonna Grognard. I wouldn’t use it as a pejorative. I’m sure there are plenty of instances where I have terrible taste too.

I don't know why people are grumbling about one of the original settings winning - it's not like there where any new cities on the list anyway (the Eberron ones are the most recent, and they have still been around 20 years).

Probably because there have been no new iconic cities added recently.
