Carlo's Code

Adventure, not arguments,
Imagination, not indignation,
Fun, not fumbling for a rulebook,
Rulings, not rules,
Making it up, not making do with what they give you,
Getting on with the Game, not getting bogged down in BS.

That's what Old School means to me!

  2. To the extent that I understand it, I disagree with it.

    But it's possible I misunderstand it.

  4. Honestly, I don't see how any of those distinctions line up with "Old School" more than other gaming styles. Some, in fact, go the opposite direction in my experience...
