Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shakeshift" data-source="post: 8764470" data-attributes="member: 7034572">Justin Lanasa isn't the face of the OSR. It grew out of a variety of sources, and the term (although it can be trademarked) definitely is not the sole province of Justin Lanasa, and he won't be able to prove in a court of law that it started with him, as it entered public usage long before he came along. Justin just tries to claim-jump things which are trending, and then tries to grab at the steering wheel. He's never succeeded and for good reason. Lanasa is incompetent and doesn't know what he's doing.All of the people who do OSR books and products (like Goodman Games, amongst others) aren't going to let Justin snag the top echelon. They'll just ignore him (like everyone should) and keep doing their thing. People will ALWAYS point out that Justin's little piece of the pie does not speak for anyone else, and people who spend even the smallest amount of time doing research will also come to the same conclusion. Nobody is going to see Justin's stupidity and assume that he is the face of everyone else doing old-school gaming. Justin is too lazy to EVER be the voice of the OSR. Justin himself isn't even OSR. I have no idea what he is, but he's not a gamer that much is certain.</blockquote>
