[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5135709, member: 18280"] Garthanos, Suffice it to say that we disagree about a few things on your list, and leave it at that. :) There's no reason to reopen old arguments. So long as you are happy with the game you are playing, that's all that counts. For me, what the OSR is about is being happy with the game you are playing, pure and simple. I went back and reread my AD&D 1e books, and I played some Basic Fantasy with my 10-year old daughter. It was nice playing something a bit less complicated than 3e, but it still didn't quite satisfy my itch. The chief tenet of OS games, IMHO, has always been: The game is yours; if you don't like something, change it. And that is what has engaged as much free time as I can spare for the last year or so.....making the system fit me as much as I am able. And that, IMHO, is where [B][I]all[/I][/B] editions of D&D meet -- they are [I][B]all[/B][/I] someone's (or someones') attempt to make a system that fits their needs. But just as it would be foolish of me to assume that your needs will be met by 1e, it is foolish of anyone to assume that 4e will meet any specific person's needs. Or RCFG. Or Labyrinth Lord. Or whatever. Play what you like. That's what the OSR is about, AFAICT and IMHO. RC [/QUOTE]
