That is my recollection of the original distancing.<br /><br />Funny some of that crowd did not consider the original materials pure enough.<br /><br />I also recall it was originally a way to get out of print material "re-printed" while avoiding copyright infringement. <br /><br />I'm so glad it has become more than that and has revived older style play and less heavy rules sets. <br /><br />I like "Old School Revival," fewer key strokes and easier to spell.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231609275892907901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978232334912384498.post-51986532161896826282014-10-03T08:51:11.297-05:002014-10-03T08:51:11.297-05:00"Alas, I was merely a "Saint of the OSR,..."Alas, I was merely a "Saint of the OSR,"<br /><br />Yeah, but I bet your clerics have a blast.<br /><br />I've read some of the drama.

It's really quite douchey. Sort of akin to all of these OSR blogs that use white type on black background.

Because, the OSR, whatever the fuck it is, got along fine for years, without "gatekeepers," "authorities," "hierophants" or any sort of pseudo-academic wankery." ----There's the truest words said on the subject right there!
