Here I am arguing against the split into the various sub “camps” of current RPG culture. I used to believe in this divide, too, but now I’m convinced the differences are just talked up and don’t really exist except as tags, not inherently better or worse than tags such as “solo”, “rules lite”, “gonzo” and all the other ways of splitting it up. The tags remain important for some people to “find their crowd” but that’s far weaker than saying that these are the most important splits in RPG culture.

My actual favourite category would actually be “64 pages or less for rules, setting and adventure”! 😅

Maybe I should add that I’m not trying to argue against “OSR/NSR Tabletop Roleplaying Games” being a group on the fediverse. It’s just the groups I joined because I was following Todd on fedi elsewhere. 😄

Whither Reddit? In the meantime, here’s a place to chat up old school revival (OSR) and new school revolution (NSR) style TTRPGs.

My name is Todd aka Hexed Press and I am the current caretaker (have I always been the caretaker?). Here are some other places to find me, if you are so inclined:
