[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9588013, member: 467"] Some of you are supporting my point for me: the moral imperatives (even the good ones) are not relevant to what you do at your table, nor should they be. This need to tie the cultural movement of the hobby to ones own play is misguided, I believe. I don't think people should feel bad for liking what they like -- especially since we know that the stuff we liked when we were young are most likely to be powerful for us even now. (I know not everyone here is over 40, but the vast majority are.) As [USER=177]@Umbran[/USER] put it, enjoy your CDs and let the kids stream their newfangled tunes. To put more of a point on it: modern RPGs are generally not for us, any more than modern music is. If we happen to like it -- great, that is more money for the record companies and artists. But if we don't -- well, that is why they keep making Best Of albums and having reunion tours. (Also, to beat the analogy to death, this makes a game like Shadowdark a band like Wolfmother, that is modern but sounds like something from the 70s.) [/QUOTE]
