About This “What is Old-School?” Argument

Yes, I know. A very insightful post.

But it was my honest to goodness knee-jerk reaction upon reading the many weigh-ins and commentaries and vitriol-filled snippets over the past weekend, and the apathetic feeling still remains with me a few days removed from the ‘incident’. Both sides of the argument seem to have some merit, I just can’t find the energy to give a rat’s either way. If the RPG blogging community insists on wasting energy pointlessly nerd raging on something, bring back the 4th edition vs. older edition flame wars. At least those are mildly amusing.

    Thank you so much for saying this. I’m signed up for the RPG Bloggers RSS feed and am so tired of the Old School circle-jerk…
    Does anyone who isn’t blogging about Old School care?

    I want to add witty comments here, but there’s really nothing more to say. High fives all around; sometimes the simplest and most blunt statement sums up the situation the best.

  3. LOL! Very nice. :D

    …upon reading the many weigh-ins and commentaries and vitriol-filled snippets over the past weekend…

    You mean you actually read them? I didn’t even bother after the first – and I only even skimmed that one. :P

    Double high-fives with a shot of Jack straight up. The more yammering on this subject I come across, the less I care what any of these guys have to say on the matter.

  5. Agreed, indeed. All I could do when I saw the sudden flurry of “What is Old School?” blog posts was shake my head, quickly followed by not reading them…
