I have no...I think you're onto something here. I have noticed quite a bit of backlash this week against both DCC and LotFP, which is odd. <br /><br />But, I can see your point that I think a lot of people are hitching their cart to the OSR bandwagon (I think I may have just completely messed up that analogy, but I'm too lazy to look it up) just because it can create an instant target audience. If you claim that your product is "Old School", you're going to get the OSR blogosphere at least interested enough to look at it and start talking about it, because it's a passionate group of people who are seeking out new, fresh Old School material they can use. <br /><br />I'm not making a judgment, BTW, on whether DCC is old school or not. I think that's a question that can only be answered by the individual. As you point out, I just don't think the term "old school" stands up to a strict definition. It's been said many times before, but what's old school to me might not be old school to someone else. And, as you eloquently put it, it's more of a play style than a rules set. I can play an old school <i>type</i> of game using any rules set I want, if I choose to do that. <br /><br />Okay, I'm tired so I'm rambling. Anyway, good post. Lots to think about.Martin R.
