I think the OSR needed a reboot anyway, but this one I also think will be a joke, it will still have post TSR content.

I'm looking forward to seeing what develops out of all this. The OSR has played a vital role in the hobby, and I suspect it will continue to do so. Similar to other fields, there are bad actors and other sorts of outliers but that doesn't invalidate the meaningful contributions that others have made. Interesting times.

Yeah, I saw that, kind of funny in a way, not sure where it will go.

Yeah, I saw that, kind of funny in a way, not sure where it will go. I would like to see the uptick in blog posts from old school gamers and other fans that showed up later. I would also like the "old edition feel" to once again take precedence over the concern of whether or not you're using the actual old rules by the book, a clone, neo-clone, or even a newer school type of game. I'll grant you that some game systems are much easier to play in an old school style, but the old school style should be the focus regardless of system being used. |

I am afraid that we are going to see blogs disappear because they are afraid they might get a C&D. Self censoring is not the way to go. |

Ideally, I hope to see a temporary pause on blog posts with specific stats as people adjust their posts to use different systems, their own systems, or whatever. Of course, who knows? This could very well cause the flow to decrease to just a trickle. That wouldn't be good at all. A free sharing of ideas is a BIG part of this hobby. |

Ideally I would like to see a lot of blog revived and new blogs. Also if people are posting new material, more of it should be System Agnostic. You don't always have to do crunch. I am probably not going to use your crunch anyway, but I make take the idea and tweak it. |

I think if people could wrap their head around it, this would create a lot more material, but people like to write crunch. |
