I don't know the guy, so I really can't say what his beef is and I'm really not in a position to take sides in this. The impression I got was that you became more something of a sounding board for him because his argument really doesn't fit with what you are doing in this series of posts (especially since it isn't even finished yet!). You're just a big enough target, I guess.<br /><br />And I agree on your statement that those clones are a perfect start to showcase what the OSR can do and is about. There's more to it, but you aren't finished yet. Going by what you already announced, I'm looking forward to your take on it.<br /><br />I took the time to look at your first posts back in 2009, it is, as I understand it, a stated intent of your blog to highlight those things (and you did so in the past with several games that are not D&D or clones thereof). So yeah, you're welcome : ) I meant what I wrote.<br />Jens D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394303166081684904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-5496734369100330392014-09-28T16:16:08.781+02:002014-09-28T16:16:08.781+02:00The Pundit is tilting windmills today because of b...The Pundit is tilting windmills today because of battles he fought with James Mal and others in the before time.<br /><br />I think there is also a feeling on his part that he never got the respect due to him from the rest of the OSR, or at least, that's what I'm getting on Rob Conley's thread on the G+ side.<br /><br />"I didn't want to be against the OSR back then, the OSR wanted to be against me." That's a quote from The Pundit's latest comment.<br /><br />In any case, if one is showcasing the OSR for the "lapsed gamer" the first things one would highlight are the clones that present the classic rules in a more modern layout, which is how I am starting the series.<br /><br />Thanks for the mention and the kind words :)Tenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.com
