The Biggest Hindrance To The OSR (not what you think)

Hmmm a new name that has a catchy acronym. How about OSG for Old School Gaming, no that brings up too many things on Google. I would guess any thing that starts OS would be out.

This is a toughy.

[Death Even XIII]

Wait, how about Old Murkhill Gaming - OMG. Oh wait, that won't work either.

That would be tough to pronounce, at least for me.

[Death Even XIII]

How about OSG - Original Style Gaming.

Another Acronym that is already used for a lot of things.

May have to go to 4 or 5 letters.

[Death Even XIII]

How about OSFAR - Original School Fantasy Adventure Roleplaying

I like that, but instead of Old go with Original Murkhill Gaming.

That is not bad, not sure how catchy it is. I did find one thing it was used for and otherwise it is a last name. Good acronyms are hard to find.

I like it and as an acronym it works if you Google it, it brings up this thread and a few odd links that are just collections of random letters. So if we started putting out products and tagging them with this it would lead right back here.


So then, it looks like we need a definition of what this acronym is about.

Hey TPD you should take the first crack at it. (anyone else go ahead and post too )

[hengest]

I was just gonna suggest "Murkhill." Or "Murkhill Gaming."

But if we're going with OEFARPG...we just want bullet points to put back up in the OP here?

• open-imagination
• rules-light
• free-wheeling
• do-it-yourself
• extravaganza

I was thinking that the OSR is so undefined that it includes things that are not remotely old school.

I was thinking this should be defined so that those trying to appropriate it (if there ever were any) could be called out.

Defined more tightly, then.  Over my head at the moment, but I will check back, I want to see what you all come up with.

Death Even XIII should define it as it is his idea. I would interpret it as OD&D and solid OD&D related games, such as Delving Deeper and Iron Falcon, but not any game that introduces new schoolisms into the rules, so ascending AC is out and the like.

I want to hear his take on it.

open-imagination - check

free-wheeling - check
do-it-yourself - check
extravaganza - not completely sure what you mean with this one.

That's a good one and it does not bring up much on Google that could be confusing.

I like that, Original Edition shuts it down to the games that I play. You also have to go to four letters to get away from acronym that are already widely used.

[Hexenritter Verlag]

Yup, that is the idea.
