Geez, I've been really digging the whole "retro-roleplaying," back-to-Old-School-OD&D movement, but if it encourages this sort of shit, if that's the attitude that people involved bring to the table, count me out.
It's like a bad parody of a Frank Herbert character.
Holding up old school OD&D as some kind of paragon of deep creative human activity, for the few true humans among us, who rise above all the rest (he didn't quite get around to using the word "sheeple") and shun mere "fun" because we want to work HARD for our gaming DAMMIT! FUN IS FOR THE WEAK AND FEEBLE OF SOUUUULLLLLLLLL
Nillapleez.
Via Retro Roleplaying, who linked it mostly approvingly, via various google searches on Labyrinth Lord and Swords and Wizardry.

One of these days we'll play some T&T, Ed. 5th edition, right? No frills, all thrills?
Anyway, Ed, the main reason I'm posting is that I really need to talk to you about Trollbabe stuff, and I'm not having any luck locating your email. Send me an email at sorcerer@sorcerer-rpg.com.
Best, Ron
Some days James Raggi is the RPG Pundit of the old school scene. I think both guys have a lot of interesting stuff to say, even if I don't always agree with either of them.
Who's RPG Pundit?
