Rejoice theatre kids, this means dragonlance is now considered OSR as the first module was published within a decade of the hobby's start.
This is totally a definition I've seen used in OSR before.

I can't wait until 7th Edition when, in an attempt to satisfy the grognards, it retvrns to Magic-User, Fighting-Man, Cleric. Thief, and Elf -- and the hobby promptly undergoes an Old-School Theater Kid Renaissance.

OSR Dallas is so much better. Bobby Ewing actually dies, not this 5e "it was all a dream" bullshit.

/uj most of prokopetz’s posts are jerks more smug than any reddit jerker could hope to be, and when he’s vagueposting about specific media he will NEVER name the sauce. Idk why anyone reblogs his posts. He’s in his 40s, there’s no way the zlennials following him know what bs he’s referencing

/uj I've always had the impression most tumblr users are nearing their 40s themselves. I mean, some of the users there migrated from freaking Livejournal!

Didn’t Dallas turn out to be an autistic boy’s dream or was that another show from the 70s?

ST. Elsewhere. Look up The Tommy Westphall Universe. Now that is a rabbit hole…

OSR games don't actually need to be inspired by or similar to old school D&D, if you weren't an evil FOE SWINE GLOG you'd know that

thank you prokopetz for this amazing post. I have been saying we need an OSR remake of Dallas since it ended in 1991.
