You're Wrong About The OSR

In this episode, I dig into character attachment, death and meaning in old-school TTRPGs. Why caring about a fragile character actually makes dangerous play better, why “meaningful death” might be the wrong thing to chase, and why the stories we remember are often created backwards.Attachment isn’t the enemy. Entitlement is.#TTRPG #OSR #OldSchoolRPG #RPGPhilosophy #TabletopRPG #RoleplayingGames #RPG #GameMaster #TTRPGCommunity #RPGDesign #CharacterDeath #Vindicast
