OSR, Old School, and the DnD divide with Legacy Game Mastering
Episode 96 Streamed Live Tuesday July 12, 2022
Main Topic: OSR, Old School and the DnD divide with The Legacy GM
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OoPEzT5nq0c7ToEpWSe3A
We discuss many aspects of “Old School” or OSR gaming. Legacy GM (LGM) discusses his favorite games and gaming style. We go over some potential differences between OSR games and Old School feel. LGM talks about getting younger folks into older style games.
Then we discuss the, largely, sociopolitical divide in the hobby. We try to figure out why it is so stark a divide. Also, we discuss what we feel the essence of the divide is and take swipes at post modernism. We agree that likely the only way to bridge the gap is to set a good example of being accepting of the folks we are accused of hating but concede that it will only be a few of them we can hope to convince.
