Vb Wyrde oh I wasn’t looking for it. Not at all. That’s not at all what my story is about.

I didn’t really know how I or my players would react until we were into it a ways. At least in 2012, which is I think when we started up SWN, I aspirationally thought I could run any game without bringing preference or baggage along. I couldn’t do that in 2012, nor could my players, but four years later I think we’re better at it.

I have no idea what to say to what the OSR “is” or “isn’t.” TBH I haven’t dug that deeply. I’ve read Brent Newhall’s super-excellent Old School Renaissance Handbook as well as some other intro type stuff. I’ve been through a DCC funnel. I tried to run SWN. I’m gonna try and run Godbound at some point as well. But I have no horse at all in any kind of race to define terms. Games is games, and sometimes those games are not my jam. (Hence tomorrow’s question.)
