[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7769388, member: 85555"] We are just going to have to disagree on certain things. I do think layout and play style often go hand in hand. Especially when gaming communities are so blog driven. Publishers in the OSR are small enough and keyed in enough to this stuff, that it impacts actual layout. I can personally attest to that. And it is a reflection of the needs of people in the style at the table. They want brief descriptions of setting locations that are easy to parse in play and they want tables grouped together so they are easy to sort through. And again, doesn't mean other people don't care about these things. There is just a heavy emphasis on it in the OSR. Again, I never said good GMing was a part of any play style. I said optimism about peoples abilities to GM using rulings was a key attitude of OSR. And that a lot of the people I have encountered who were critical of OSR, seemed more skeptical of GM authority.
