Doing some old school RPG theory.

Surprisingly comforting.

Yeah.

Basically, despite assertions to the contrary, no, this quality of discussion has not left this earth. Just gotta be willing to participate.

More to the point is the theory old school or are the RPGs old school, or both?

I did some searching in old Forge threads recently. Aside from being horrified at my earlier posts, I was really saddened to see how many topics haven't advanced at all in 7 years.

Aside, it had gotten me thinking about the actuality of our hobby vs. the self perception of it, and how the latter keeps getting in the way of what we -could- be doing.
