My definition actually does try and create boundaries around it based on a number of dimensions, and some people may agree with that or not. Some definitions are going to be more "correct" than others because they fall into line with the common thought about it.<br /><br />As for the whole thread, it was someone who chose to devolve the conversation away from it being about an topic and the entire THEME of the show (which as Erik says is our Bully Pulpit, although I prefer to use the term "platform") and being about making personal attacks on someone because they had different ideas.<br /><br />In other words, The Internet Today.<br /><br />At the end of the day, people are still going to disagree what the OSR is and isn't for years to come, but while I understand Erik's approach to dropping the "R" from the end, I really like Stu Rat's idea of just use "R" to represent roleplaying.<br /><br />In saying that, I'm STILL going to go forward in the future finding alternative ways to say what OSR means because Only Stinky Raccoons would give up doing something fun like that.Teh Bagder (Jay)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11990479684994472511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-33707621520744103642014-09-01T12:30:04.807-04:002014-09-01T12:30:04.807-04:00It's tough to know exactly, since Jason was in...It's tough to know exactly, since Jason was initially referring to something I haven't yet listened to. Obviously, the aggressive hostility takes away from the point. But I suspect I would agree with some of it (if I had more understanding of precisely what it was). It's one thing to say that no two people would agree on a definition of the OSR, but quite another to imply that it's anything you want it to be or one definition is just as good as another.Oakes Spaldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08078500142758654392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-55409471351633069112014-09-01T12:12:58.221-04:002014-09-01T12:12:58.221-04:00Comedy gold.Comedy gold.foreshamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861824286390603313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-16814904019530319502014-09-01T11:44:04.453-04:002014-09-01T11:44:04.453-04:00Wow,

Good handling of OSR zealotry, I agree the hobby is too small to spit in the face of other gamers. I don't mind a good argument, but I don't want to waste too much time on them. I'm on the downhill side of time left on the "enjoy life" clock and don't want to argue about matters of taste anymore.Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722958681098483324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-39415512081505171932014-09-01T10:10:09.906-04:002014-09-01T10:10:09.906-04:00damned if I know ;)

Different meaning to everyone, for me and my shows, it's about keeping the games we love alive and the style of playing from that era alive.
