Unlike many, I avoid resolutions that entail deprivation or significant self-regulation. Instead, I choose some enjoyable activity that I want to be a greater part of my life. Previous resolutions include trying a new cocktail every week, making omelettes on weekends, and working toward a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BL_2dxKAZf-/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handstand walk</a> (link is the original inspiration; I am still working on this myself). I look for an activity with relatively low bar to entry that I can pursue as a habit, where it is easy to mark progress by doing rather than by level of performance<sup><a id="ref1" href="#fn1">1</a></sup>. I required a resolution with modest level of time commitment due to a number of professional irons in the fire, so for 2018, this past year, I decided to read 52 short stories, on average one per week.</p> <p>While short stories often lack the ambition and potential of longer fiction, I personally find the form aesthetically superior due to the necessity of tighter constructions and the limited scope for setup and digression. The short story respects the reader’s time rather than simply being a diversion, or, even worse, stringing a reader along extensively while ultimately failing to deliver.</p> <p><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IMG_5245-copy.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7249" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IMG_5245-copy-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IMG_5245-copy-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IMG_5245-copy-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IMG_5245-copy-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IMG_5245-copy-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IMG_5245-copy.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>I had an informal bias toward reading hard copies, partly because I have accumulated a number of short story collections. One of my materialist indulgences is the well-bound physical book, and for me reading a nice book facilitates attention and lends a ritualistic aspect to the activity. For fiction in general, my taste leans toward the fantastic and supernatural, as you can probably tell from the list of authors. A few of the 52 were rereads (several of the Leiber stories and <em>Call of Cthulhu</em>), but most were new to me. Ghost stories are heavily represented for whatever reason.</p> <p>I let the authors themselves define what counts as short, based on the presentation of the story; length ranged from a handful of pages to several hundred pages. Stephen King’s <em>The Mist</em>, which was the longest, could easily have been published as a short novel.</p> <p>As a further experiment, just after finishing each story I rated my satisfaction with the story, from 1 to 5, where the numbers have the following meanings:</p> <ul> <li>5 Memorable, would surely read again</li> <li>4 Enjoyable, something made it stand out</li> <li>3 Decent, but one reading is probably enough</li> <li>2 Not a total loss, but missing something or caused annoyance somehow</li> <li>1 Probably would have been better off doing something else</li> </ul> <div id="attachment_7258" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2018-10-09-22.20.20-Vance-Green-Magic.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7258" class="wp-image-7258 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2018-10-09-22.20.20-Vance-Green-Magic-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2018-10-09-22.20.20-Vance-Green-Magic-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2018-10-09-22.20.20-Vance-Green-Magic-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2018-10-09-22.20.20-Vance-Green-Magic-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2018-10-09-22.20.20-Vance-Green-Magic-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2018-10-09-22.20.20-Vance-Green-Magic.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7258" class="wp-caption-text">From Green Magic by Jack Vance</p></div> <p>Take no strong judgments of quality, originality, or influence from these idiosyncratic ratings. Looking back, there were a few surprises. The few Robert Aickman stories I read fared poorly, despite being one of my favorite short story writers, and Hodgson, whose <em>House on the Borderland</em> might be in my top 10 written works of prose fiction period, also fell short. On the upside, I think every single story I read by Le Guin was a 5. I knew I liked her work before, but that still seems notable. I think my standard for enjoyable stories in the adventure fantasy mode is lower than for, say, ghost stories, where my standard is relatively high.</p> <p>If I had to pick a single work to spotlight positively, it might be Blackwood’s <em>The Willows</em>. Though Delany’s <em>Nevèrÿon</em> stories ended up mostly 4s, they are remarkable, being, if I had to oversimplify, something like Conan by way of Foucault, flawed only by occasional awkward didacticism. It seems fashionable to hate on Stephen King for his popularity, productivity, and tendency to retell <em>The Lord of the Flies</em>, but when he is good he is on fire<sup><a id="ref2" href="#fn2">2</a></sup>. <em>The Mist</em> is one of my favorite stories in the cosmic horror tradition, up there with Lovecraft’s best.</p> <p>Here are the stories I read, sorted descending by rating.

There is a kingdom with magical technology hidden in the modern world, a ritual gladiator challenge of kings, and a big battle scene at the end that I swear Peter Jackson stealth-directed. (I found the battle scene in Aquaman more entertaining than the one at the end of Panther, though.)

I attempted, to the degree possible while maintaining idiomatic English, to avoid reifying OSR as a social category in the survey up to that point. We avoided using the definite article (“the”) in the wording of the eight meaning questions that preceded the question about the R. We mentioned “the OSR” twice up to that point. The first was a mention in the landing page leading to the survey proper. The second was the participation question (<em>Do you participate in the OSR? Yes/No</em>), which would have been difficult or impossible to ask without the definite article. Additionally, we randomized the presentation order of the options, so <em>Ruckus</em> was just as likely to be first option as <em>Renaissance</em>. In retrospect, I might have avoided the definite article in the landing page also and asked the participation question on a following page, but this hardly seems like putting my thumb on the scale, especially given the overwhelming preference for <em>Renaissance</em>.</p> <p>You can find the <a href="https://necropraxis.com/write-in-responses-for-the-r-in-osr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remaining write-in responses here</a>, presented in alphabetic order without editing (<em>n</em> = 65).

(Remember that we randomized presentation of the eight meaning questions across two pages in the actual survey.)</p> <p>I also tested several categorical associations with tendency to choose Renaissance over other options.

The potential options that have some currency in the collective psyche right now seem to be: the first gen retro-clones (Swords & Wizardry, Labyrinth Lord), Lamentations, DCC, Fifth Edition, and B/X Essentials. A stripped down 5E stat line seems like it may have the greatest reach and functionality of these options.</p> <p>For personal use, the choice is largely irrelevant to me numerically, as I am comfortable ruling and interpreting on the fly for the most part. However, ease of use and discoverability are factors I consider when writing for others. The clones of TSR games (first gen retro-clones and B/X Essentials) are all mechanically equivalent, apart from minor differences in magnitude assumptions (traceable largely back to the different dice used by OD&D, the basic line, and AD&D). I suspect that it might be less intuitive for a 5E referee to upconvert from an OSR stat line than it would be for an OSR referee to downconvert from 5E.</p> <p>I would avoid using the official style stat block, which sacrifices page real estate to standardization. For example, only a totally inflexible rules drone would need text to tell them that a trebuchet is immune to sleep spells or that a suit of animated armor is immune to being deafened. (Seriously 5E designers, WTF?) It seems most functional to select key stats and use 5E terms when the choice would be otherwise arbitrary.</p> <p>Assuming 5E stats make the most sense in some form, I see two possibilities: 1) present a stripped-down form of 5E numbers or 2) present both “old school” and “new school” stats explicitly, but still tailored for concision. I suspect option 2 would be more accessible, but also less elegant. An example of option 1 (5E numbers, implicit conversion) might be:</p> <blockquote><p>Goblin. HP 2d6/7, AC 15 (lightly armored), proficiency +2, STR -1, DEX +2, WIS -1, CHA -1, stealth +6, challenge ¼ (50 XP), disengage or hide as bonus action, see in the dark</p></blockquote> <p>This is actually <em>almost</em> 100% of the information present in the official stat block. Even with super-vanilla goblins, weapon details would vary and so I see minimal benefit to adding them in the actions section (and of course I would rarely use super-vanilla goblins). Option 2 would have two subsections, prefaced with <em>Old School</em> and <em>New School</em> labels respectively, and probably take 2-4 lines for the full stats of a monster with medium complexity. While I like the no-nonsense approach of just calling out that categorization, you can probably imagine yourself what it would look like. In the process of writing this out, I am leaning toward option 1, if using 5E numbers is a given. Just doing a simple Labyrinth Lord or B/X Essentials presentation also remains appealing. I do like the ability to use the DEX, INT, and other stats as easy ways to call out agile monsters, and so forth.</p> <h2>Guidelines for conversion</h2> <ul> <li><strong>DCC</strong>. 5E constitution, dexterity, and wisdom saves can serve as DCC fortitude, reflex, and will saves.</li> <li><strong>Descending AC</strong>. To get a descending AC value, subtract 10 from AC and subtract that from 10. (So: 18 ⟶ 8 ⟶ 10 − 8 ⟶ 2.) Starting with 5E values actually yields pretty good results from this procedure, compared to 3E/4E, due to the bounded accuracy design principle. It is also worth remembering that even if numbers are off by 1, that just means differences of 5%, which is unnoticeable in practice.</li> <li><strong>Old school damage</strong>. Ignore proficiency when rolling damage. So the goblin’s 1d6+2 damage becomes a flat 1d6.</li> </ul> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/rules/" rel="category tag">Rules</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/12/19/5e-stat-line-basis/" title="8:00 am" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2018-12-19T08:00:54-05:00">2018-12-19</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-6519" class="post-6519 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-community tag-survey"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/12/13/osr-survey-meaning/" rel="bookmark">OSR survey: meaning</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/12/13/osr-survey-meaning/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><em>(This is part of an ongoing discussion of the 2018 <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/survey/">OSR Survey</a> results. See the table of contents at the bottom of this post for links to the other parts.)</em></p> <p>Over the past few years, I have been continually surprised by the degree of disagreement, confusion, and, occasionally, vitriol regarding the meaning of OSR. I think it is uncontroversial to state that the meaning is contested. It is unclear, however, whether there is any consensus and, more generally, what is the structure of underlying beliefs. Summarizing, the results of the survey support at least three main aspects of OSR meaning. Agreement about these three aspects varies by respondent age, with younger respondents seeing greater conflict between the aspects compared to older respondents. There are other variables to consider, but I will focus on age and self-declared participation in this post.</p> <p>Age and participation might influence beliefs about OSR for many reasons. Considering rules, older participants might have played older games when they were originally released and so have a different frame of reference compared to younger players. Self-declared participants in the OSR may have different priorities, or more information, compared to self-declared non-participants. We asked respondents directly about participation. (<em>Do you participate in the OSR? Yes/No.</em>) We also asked five questions about identification with the OSR using a seven-point agreement scale (for example, <em>I feel a bond with the OSR</em>). Respondents who participate in the OSR also identify more with the OSR (by approximately 1.75 points of agreement, or the difference between <em>Somewhat agree</em> and <em>Strongly agree</em>).</p> <p>Before I describe the associations in the survey between meaning beliefs and age or participation, it is worth first looking at the beliefs in aggregate, over all responses. Following are the means of the <em>OSR is…</em> questions, which I think of as the basic “meaning” questions. We also asked each of these questions in terms of respondent desires, so we will be able to look at the discrepancy between what people believe OSR is and what they want it to be.</p> <div id="attachment_6522" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_osr_meaning_bar.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6522" class="wp-image-6522 size-large" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_osr_meaning_bar-1024x744.png" alt="" width="625" height="454" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_osr_meaning_bar-1024x744.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_osr_meaning_bar-300x218.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_osr_meaning_bar-768x558.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_osr_meaning_bar-624x454.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_osr_meaning_bar.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6522" class="wp-caption-text">OSR meaning across all responses</p></div> <p>These averages tell a simple story, which is that respondents agree most that OSR refers to a play style and set of design principles. Respondents agree somewhat that OSR is a scene or movement and that OSR is a collection of aesthetics. Respondents are close to neutral, on average, about the commercial aspect of OSR. Looking at the text of each question, and the averages, three pairs seem to hang together conceptually, tapping into <strong>game design</strong>, <strong>social</strong>, and <strong>commercial</strong> aspects, with aesthetics and specific rules off in their own space. Formal statistical analysis<sup><a id="ref1" href="#fn1">1</a></sup> leads to the same conclusion, so I averaged each of those three pairs into new scores for the game design, social, and commercial aspects. In the following figures, I color code aspects where possible, using black for rules, green for commerce, and blue for social interaction. I created similar scores for aspects as desired (that is, what respondents say they would like OSR to mean).</p> <p>The following figure shows a box plot of the three aspects. Quartiles determine the look of box plots. The central line in each box shows the median.

The quartiles are tighter. Looking at a similar figure that compares OSR participants to non-participants yields similar conclusions, though participants seem to both perceive and want a greater social component. (The right pane below is OSR participants.) It is perhaps unsurprising that the discrepancy between perception and desire is greater for non-participants than participants on average, as that mismatch may be part why non-participants avoid participating to begin with.</p> <div id="attachment_6528" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_box_osr_yes.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6528" class="size-large wp-image-6528" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_box_osr_yes-1024x744.png" alt="" width="625" height="454" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_box_osr_yes-1024x744.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_box_osr_yes-300x218.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_box_osr_yes-768x558.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_box_osr_yes-624x454.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_box_osr_yes.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6528" class="wp-caption-text">Box plots comparing meaning for self-declared OSR participants with non-participants</p></div> <p>Age provides a potential explanation, at least partially, for broader misunderstanding and disagreement, shown in the following figure. Younger respondents seem to have stronger beliefs about OSR meaning compared to older respondents (as in, positions more strongly held). Further, there is a stark divide between commerce and social/game design aspects for younger players. Older players seem to agree, relatively speaking, that OSR is more about rules than social interaction or commerce, but are basically neutral, on average, regarding OSR as commerce or social interaction. (The pattern looks similar if I plot a figure using years playing tabletop roleplaying games as the independent variable, rather than age.) I suggest only interpreting the linear predictions (the lines) for age < 60, as the number of responses decreases markedly for age > 60.</p> <div id="attachment_6531" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_meaning_age.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6531" class="size-large wp-image-6531" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_meaning_age-1024x744.png" alt="" width="625" height="454" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_meaning_age-1024x744.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_meaning_age-300x218.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_meaning_age-768x558.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_meaning_age-624x454.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_meaning_age.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6531" class="wp-caption-text">OSR meaning aspect trends over respondent age</p></div> <p>This pattern is similar for non-participants compared to participants, though older non-participants have much stronger aversion to the social component of the OSR (see figure below).

A three-factor model fits the data best, with the three item pairs loading heavily on factors consistent with the three aspects explained above. For stats nerds, I used exploratory factor analysis with maximum likelihood estimation and oblique promax rotation. I chose oblique rotation because the latent variables are correlated above a conventional threshold, making orthogonal rotation less appropriate. I chose to score latent variables using averages rather than factor scores so that interpretation of the results in terms of the seven-point response scale is possible. <a title="Jump back to footnote 1 in the text." href="#ref1">↩</a></sup></p> <hr> <h1>OSR survey report</h1> <h2>Table of contents</h2> <ol> <li><a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/12/09/osr-survey-participation/">Purpose & Participation</a></li> <li><a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/12/20/what-about-the-r/">What About the R?</a></li> <li><a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/12/13/osr-survey-meaning/">Meaning Respondents Associate with OSR</a></li> <li><a href="https://necropraxis.com/2019/01/16/osr-games/">OSR games</a></li> <li><a href="https://necropraxis.com/2019/01/18/osr-attributes/">OSR Attributes</a></li> <li><a href="https://necropraxis.com/2019/02/04/osr-play-behavior/">OSR Play Behavior</a></li> <li><a href="https://necropraxis.com/2019/03/28/buying-blogging-creating/">Buying, Blogging, Creating</a></li> </ol> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/community/" rel="category tag">Community</a> and tagged <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/survey/" rel="tag">survey</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/12/13/osr-survey-meaning/" title="8:48 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2018-12-13T20:48:41-05:00">2018-12-13</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-6482" class="post-6482 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-community tag-survey"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/12/09/osr-survey-participation/" rel="bookmark">OSR survey participation</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/12/09/osr-survey-participation/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><em>(This is part of an ongoing discussion of the 2018 <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/survey/">OSR Survey</a> results. See the table of contents at the bottom of this post for links to the other parts.)</em></p> <p>This is the first post of several where I will summarize the results of the OSR survey Ben and I ran. The survey was open from December 3rd through December 8th (2018). Given the high level of participation, and a handful of common critiques, after I have a chance to post some results I plan to ask for general feedback about how we ran the survey and what people might like to see in the future. For those who want a short summary, the TLDR of this post is that there were 2000+ responses (that is a lot), mostly from North America/Europe, and some basic demographics (such as age and country of residence) are similar for OSR participants and non-participants (based on self-categorization).</p> <h3>Purpose</h3> <p><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ben_post.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-6501 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ben_post-300x118.png" alt="" width="300" height="118" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ben_post-300x118.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ben_post.png 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>A few people asked why we were running the survey at all. The superficial (but true) answer is that I saw Ben <a href="https://plus.google.com/+BenMilton2/posts/bSgGzASwBPV">post a question on Google Plus</a> about what questions people might like to see on a hypothetical OSR survey. I was curious too, and I have some experience running surveys so I reached out, and here we are. The slightly more involved (and also true) answer is that I have been, over the last several years, continually surprised by seeming confusion, misunderstanding, and disagreement surrounding the meanings that people attach to the term OSR. Personally, I am primarily curious about the degree to which there is consensus about this meaning, whether the meaning differs substantially between people that consider themselves to be participating in (<em>the?</em>) OSR, and whether the meaning people currently see matches what they would like. Secondarily, I am also curious about what content (at the game level) people consider OSR, the geographical distribution of people that participate in (<em>the?</em>) OSR, and favorite OSR products. Other questions may occur to me as I proceed (and feel free to suggest questions if you have any).</p> <h3>Responses</h3> <p>2018 respondents completed the survey (that serendipitous number is a coincidence). Based on some preliminary checks, I see no sign of brigading, bots, or similar threats to data quality. 134 responses failed the attention check near the end. 46 responses provided age greater than 100 and one response gave age less than 10. 9 respondents specified that I should discard their response entirely. None of these responses will contribute to my summaries. After exclusion, there were 1,828 responses. To the question <em>Do you participate in the OSR?</em>, 1450 respondents said <em>Yes</em>, 372 respondents said <em>No</em>, and 6 skipped the question.</p> <h3>Generalizability</h3> <p>Several people seemed suspicious about why we asked any demographic questions. The point of such questions is have some basis from which to generalize the results. For example, if respondents skew older, it would be inappropriate to assume results represent the beliefs of younger players. And so forth. Additionally, many people indicated, both to me directly and in the final “share anything” question, that they found the two items about political orientation insufficient to accurately communicate beliefs. Due to this feedback, and to ease concerns that there is some prior political agenda motivating the survey, we decided to avoid looking at those measures. Most obviously, these results speak more to the beliefs about people who talk about games online. Only people who frequent RPG forums or follow people who talk about RPGs on social media are likely to have heard about the survey at all, so that is a property of the sampling process. Put another way, we oversampled (heavily, perhaps close to exclusively) people who spend large amounts of time on hobbies online. That is, however, appropriate to OSR, which originated and developed online.</p> <h3>Figures</h3> <p>The first two figures show scatter plots of responses over time. The first plot shows how long participants took to answer the survey, in minutes. For ease of visual interpretation, I avoided plotting a handful of observations where respondents took an extra-long amount of time to submit the survey, though these responses still contribute to other results. The second plot shows respondent age, which drifts very slightly up according to the trend over time, though it is difficult to see. Plots such as these often show potential confounds or technical errors. Nothing like that jumps out at me.</p> <div id="attachment_6483" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_dur.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6483" class="wp-image-6483 size-large" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_dur-1024x744.png" alt="" width="625" height="454" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_dur-1024x744.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_dur-300x218.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_dur-768x558.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_dur-624x454.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_dur.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6483" class="wp-caption-text">Response Duration Over Time (the X axis represents about one week)</p></div> <p></p> <div id="attachment_6484" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6484" class="wp-image-6484 size-large" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age-1024x744.png" alt="" width="625" height="454" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age-1024x744.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age-300x218.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age-768x558.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age-624x454.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6484" class="wp-caption-text">Respondent Age Over Time (the X axis represents about one week)</p></div> <p></p> <div id="attachment_6493" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Response-collection-by-day-Qualtrics-dashboard.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6493" class="wp-image-6493 size-large" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Response-collection-by-day-Qualtrics-dashboard-1024x637.png" alt="" width="625" height="389" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Response-collection-by-day-Qualtrics-dashboard-1024x637.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Response-collection-by-day-Qualtrics-dashboard-300x187.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Response-collection-by-day-Qualtrics-dashboard-768x478.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Response-collection-by-day-Qualtrics-dashboard-624x388.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Response-collection-by-day-Qualtrics-dashboard.png 1147w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6493" class="wp-caption-text">Responses by day (survey dashboard)</p></div> <p>The mean response age was 36.81 (<em>SD</em> = 9.88, <em>n</em> = 1828) and the stats are similar for self-declared OSR participants (<em>M</em><sub>age</sub> = 36.58, <em>SD</em> = 9.87, <em>n</em> = 1450) and self-declared OSR non-participants (<em>M</em><sub>age</sub> = 37.64, <em>SD</em> = 9.90, <em>n</em> = 372).</p> <div id="attachment_6485" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age_h.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6485" class="wp-image-6485 size-large" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age_h-1024x744.png" alt="" width="625" height="454" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age_h-1024x744.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age_h-300x218.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age_h-768x558.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age_h-624x454.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_age_h.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6485" class="wp-caption-text">Respondent Age Distribution</p></div> <p>There was a mix of people that have been playing tabletop roleplaying games for a while and people that started more recently.

Yes, I know that “Asia” is an oversimplification, but look at the number of responses before you object. Participants that skipped the country item, or responses that were ambiguous to me, show up in the “Uncertain” category (as in, I am uncertain). The majority of responses are, unsurprisingly, from North America (65%), and 89% are from North America plus Europe combined (being relatively expansive about the definition of Europe). So when you are thinking about what kinds of conclusions you can draw from these results, keep that in mind. This survey should give a decently representative picture of people from North America and Europe who talk about tabletop roleplaying games online, but speak less to players living in other cultures.</p> <div id="attachment_6490" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6490" class="wp-image-6490 size-large" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie-1024x744.png" alt="" width="625" height="454" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie-1024x744.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie-300x218.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie-768x558.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie-624x454.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6490" class="wp-caption-text">Geography or responses (overall)</p></div> <p></p> <div id="attachment_6491" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_yes.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6491" class="wp-image-6491 size-large" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_yes-1024x744.png" alt="" width="625" height="454" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_yes-1024x744.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_yes-300x218.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_yes-768x558.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_yes-624x454.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_yes.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6491" class="wp-caption-text">Geography of responses (self-declared OSR participants)</p></div> <p></p> <div id="attachment_6492" style="width: 635px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_no.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6492" class="wp-image-6492 size-large" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_no-1024x744.png" alt="" width="625" height="454" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_no-1024x744.png 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_no-300x218.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_no-768x558.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_no-624x454.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/fig_areapie_osr_no.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6492" class="wp-caption-text">Geography of respondents (self-declared OSR non-participants)</p></div> <p>The social media context in which people reside may be even more important, for purposes of measuring beliefs about OSR, than physical geography.

The secondary takeaway is that the survey represents a much wider swath of RPG players than those that I hang around, as my crowd is mostly on Google Plus and blogs at the moment.

But here is a mutagen that can transform diversions of self-disclosure into game fuel. The input: <em>20 films that had an impact on you, for the next 20 days</em>. The catalyst: <em>…related to how you game</em>. The result: <em>Show me 20 moving pictures <strong>that influenced how you play tabletop RPGs</strong></em>. Presto! There, much better. (No judgment regarding self-disclosure, but this is a game blog.)</p> <ol reversed=""> <li><em>Die Hard</em> and every other <a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DieHardOnAnX">complexcrawl action movie</a>. <em>The Rock</em> (Die Hard on Alcatraz) comes to mind, but I honestly can’t recall if it is any good. See also: <em>Dredd</em>.</li> <li><em>Man with No Name/Dollars trilogy</em>. Honestly, I think I want this series to influence my games more than it actually has, which is why it is up here at number 19. I have come to appreciate the structure of Westerns for adventuring far more as an adult than previously. And, borderlands-style D&D is basically the wild west with swords and spells:<br /> <em>“People want to play in a historical setting like the dark ages, but they don’t want serfs, they don’t want an all powerful Church dictating the rhythms of daily life, they don’t want any social constraints on free movement and agency. They want to play Vikings and still let that one guy in the group be a ninja. They want the wild west, with swords.”</em> —<a href="http://dreamsinthelichhouse.blogspot.com/2012/11/d-is-search-for-american-dream.html">Beedo paraphrasing Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff</a></li> <li><em>Pirates of the Caribbean</em> involves more swashbuckling than tends to happen in my games, and I find pirate tropes somewhat tiresome, but Sparrow is a wonderfully Vancian character and there are skeletons. Maybe the best skeletons in any movie? I also have a weakness for Depp. (Only the first movie is really worth it though.)</li> <li>This is really a placeholder for some other post-apocalyptic movie, though I am going to go with <em>Waterworld</em> for now, because that is what comes to mind despite all its weaknesses. The original <em>Mad Max</em> is a greater cinematic classic, and <em>Fury Road</em> is the genre masterpiece, but neither have substantively influenced the way I game. That said, <a href="https://v1.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/issues/issue_258/7683-D-D-Is-the-Apocalypse">D&D is the apocalypse</a>, and <em>Waterworld</em> would make a much better D&D campaign than it did a movie. Here is Wayne R. on <a href="http://initiativeone.blogspot.com/2013/05/od-setting-posts-in-pdf.html">the implied setting of 1974 OD&D</a>:<br /> <em>Cities in such a place are probably small affairs. This is not the world of grand cosmopolitan wonders; it’s downright post-apocalyptic and probably has a few thousand people per city. Trade is downright perilous, given that you’re likely to run into dragons, or giant crabs if you follow the river, or many other horrid things.</em></li> <li><em>Blame!</em> is an anime technomegadungeon based on the aesthetic vision of <a href="https://www.google.com/images?q=Tsutomu+Nihei">Tsutomu Nihei</a>. <p><div id="attachment_6449" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/TsutomuNiheiArt.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6449" class="wp-image-6449 size-full" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/TsutomuNiheiArt.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="339" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/TsutomuNiheiArt.jpg 640w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/TsutomuNiheiArt-300x159.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/TsutomuNiheiArt-624x331.jpg 624w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6449" class="wp-caption-text">Image by Nihei (<a href="https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2015/07/15/feature-monthly-mangaka-spotlight-tsutomu-nihei">source</a>)</p></div></p> <p>Do I need to say more?</li> <li><em>Season of the Witch</em> owns exactly what it is without any ironic dodges, and is not badly made either. Inspirational for <em>Lamentations of the Flame Princess</em> style fantasy.</li> <li><em>Brotherhood of the Wolf</em> is also <em>Lamentations</em> relevant, as pseudo-historical dark fantasy, and is medieval European wuxia (“action horror” according to Wikipedia, for whatever that is worth). Monica Bellucci plays a significant role, and the biggest badass is Mani, an Iroquois martial artist brave. Obviously an adventuring party. <p><div id="attachment_6451" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/botw3.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6451" class="wp-image-6451 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/botw3-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/botw3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/botw3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/botw3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/botw3-624x416.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/botw3.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6451" class="wp-caption-text">Mani (from somewhere on the Internet)</p></div></li> <li><em>Trigun</em>. The emo vibe is somewhat adolescent, but the setting would be pure gold for adventuring. It is an archaeofuture wild west of mostly isolated settlements on a desert world where energy and water are scarce but bullets are plentiful. <em>Trigun</em> would probably rank higher if the tone was less goofy, though I do appreciate the cleverer touches of absurdity: the reward for Vash’s capture is <em>sixty-billion double-dollars $$</em>, the supporting protagonists pursuing Vash are insurance company functionaries whose company is sick of paying out for Vash’s disasters, Wolfwood’s cross bazooka, and so forth.</li> <li><em>Star Wars: A New Hope</em>. Rebellion against an oppressive empire remains one of the better starting scenarios and is a welcome alternative to buccaneers meeting in a bar to plan dungeon heists (though I do love dungeon heists). See also: Final Fantasy VI for a similar setup in another medium.</li> <li><em>Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom</em> is the paradigmatic dungeon heist, with traps and everything. I would still like to find a way to turn <em>it belongs in a museum</em> into an XP incentive mechanism.</li> <li><em>Masters of the Universe </em>(cartoons). Some brief, disorganized observations. <em>Summon He-Man</em> is a spell, cast by the power sword, that binds an extradimensional entity into your body, transforming it in the process (<a href="https://plus.google.com/106896777766399569820/posts/gXTJp3p2JDj">credit</a> to Roger B. for that particular recent insight). Hordak is a cosmic space cyborg vampire dictator. By my preferences, the <a href="http://save.vs.totalpartykill.ca/masters-of-carcosa/">best Carcosa</a> so far is through the lens of Eternia.

Good settlement development systems remain an open challenge for OSR designers.

The fireteam in Aliens maps slightly better to a D&D adventuring party, but to me Alien is a tighter construction overall. John Carpenter’s <em>The Thing</em> is another relevant survival horror monster crawl, but it influenced me less.</li> <li><em>Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind</em> (& most of Miyazaki’s other output, which is aesthetically and structurally similar) is unparalleled for evocative, wondrous adventure setting. Miyazaki’s work is occasionally flawed by didacticism and transparent messaging, but <em>Nausicaa</em> is about as perfect a final creation as I can imagine. Some specific highlights are the fungal grotto underworld, the airship invasion, and the monsters. Hideaki Anno, who later gained recognition as the creative impetus behind <em>Neon Genesis Evangelion</em>, animated the god warrior sequence. For me next in line would be <em>Princess Mononoke</em> and <em>Spirited Away</em> (for all the wonderful kami), but no Miyazaki is quite as inspirational for games as <em>Nausicaa</em>. <p><div id="attachment_6456" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/GodWarrior.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6456" class="wp-image-6456 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/GodWarrior-300x167.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="167" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/GodWarrior-300x167.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/GodWarrior-624x348.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/GodWarrior.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6456" class="wp-caption-text">God Warrior (<a href="https://www.tor.com/2017/03/29/nausicaa-of-the-valley-of-the-wind-a-new-kind-of-action-hero/">source</a>)</p></div></li> <li><em>The Walking Dead</em> is one of the better depictions of an adventuring party exploring a dangerous, monster-haunted world, struggling to survive, and, if possible put down roots, though there is too much soap opera for my games. The development and periodic <em>loss</em> of settlements also presents a challenge to developers of OSR systems to manage stronghold developments. Most of the existing approaches to building settlements realize Strongholds as culmination, unlikely to be reversed, and a shift from exploration into a domain game. This has some appeal, but I would like a system which remained closer to boots on the ground, a Batman-level system rather than a Superman-level system, to misappropriate the metaphor from <a href="http://www.lulu.com/ca/en/shop/matthew-finch/quick-primer-for-old-school-gaming/ebook/product-3159558.html">Finch’s Primer</a>.</li> <li><em>The Abyss</em>. Trapped in an underwater complex. Threatened by mysterious entities that are both terrible and wonderful. The darkness of the deep in <em>The Abyss</em> is the darkness I want to evoke in the fantasy underworld. That’s why nonsense like torches and resource management matter. <p><div id="attachment_6458" style="width: 644px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/abyss13.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-6458" class="size-full wp-image-6458" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/abyss13.jpg" alt="" width="634" height="283" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/abyss13.jpg 634w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/abyss13-300x134.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/abyss13-624x279.jpg 624w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-6458" class="wp-caption-text">James Cameron’s The Abyss</p></div></li> <li><em>Berserk: Golden Age Arc</em> because Berserk is the foundation of my dark fantasy trinity (along with Dark Souls and Kingdom Death). It effectively calibrates mythic resonance with novelty and brings intensity without ever descending into parody or ironic detachment.</li> </ol> <p>I can extract a few trends from this list. The first is that exploration and survival horror inform my gaming far more than the trappings of fantasy. A good sewer crawl with monsters in modern LA would probably get me more in the mood to game than some epic fantasy. Jackson’s <em>Fellowship</em> is almost there, but feels too linear, and the characters are too reactive, to be particularly inspiring as a D&D adventure to me. (That said, I am fond of the movie as a realization of Alan Lee’s visual imagination of Middle-Earth and it is hard to imagine a better casting for any of the characters.) I prefer the aesthetics of fantasy for gaming compared to science fiction or modern settings, but some large part of that preference is the constraints provided more naturally by the narrow horizons of a fantasy world.</p> <p>The second trend is the presence of a wondrous, distinctive setting which begs exploration, with aspects of the frontier or points of light, which means that <em>civilization exists in isolated outposts scattered throughout a dangerous wilderness. … Between outposts lies only monster–haunted wilderness dotted with the ruins of a once glorious past and darkened by the ever-present shadow of the unknown</em> (Rob Conley’s 2008 <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/57374/Points-of-Light">Points of Light</a> supplement).</p> <p>The list here only overlaps slightly with what I would say are my favorite movies. The Berserk Golden Age Arc, The Abyss, the two Alien films would be favorites, and probably Nausicaa, but that might be it.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/moving-pictures/" rel="category tag">Moving Pictures</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/11/28/hack-the-meme-20-movies/" title="5:08 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2018-11-28T17:08:11-05:00">2018-11-28</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-6424" class="post-6424 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-community"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/11/26/signs-of-practice/" rel="bookmark">Signs of practice</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/11/26/signs-of-practice/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Newcomers are the primary beneficiaries of organizing labels, which make sense of as yet unmapped territory<sup><a id="ref1" href="#fn1">1</a></sup>. It is possible to take a scenic route to the same semantic destination by reciting minor arcana: <em>resource depletion, lethality, creative problem solving, exploration-focused play, location-based design,</em> and so forth. However, doing so is a cumbersome and awkward method of evocation, perhaps occasionally justified by greater precision, but suboptimal for widespread comprehension.</p> <p>I run mostly old school rules. That is, I draw from a school of thought based primarily in the original 1974 D&D and Moldvay’s 1981 Basic D&D. I participate in a renaissance. That is, the explosion of creation<sup><a id="ref2" href="#fn2">2</a></sup> and discussion<sup><a id="ref3" href="#fn3">3</a></sup> informed by old school gaming traditions. This continues, at a constant or accelerating rate.</p> <p>So, there was and is a renaissance of tabletop roleplaying games with old school genealogy. What is in a label? Without a label to organize and bind the concepts in these traditions together, it is unlikely that playing tabletop RPGs would be on my radar at all at this point in my life. I got into gaming back in 2011 only because a coworker invited me to a fourth edition D&D game, and that led me to OSR conversations online. If all I experienced then was mainstream fourth edition D&D, I doubt I would have persisted.</p> <p>Rather than helping a marginalized group or suffering individual, polarization<sup><a id="ref4" href="#fn4">4</a></sup> weaponizes substantive political concerns to sow divisions and play status games, sometimes to bolster egos, sometimes to build name recognition in service of selling products. I am not the neighborhood watch, or, even worse, an officer of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith. But my conversations, are, I think, pretty chill.</p> <p>I choose to focus on similarities rather than differences. I choose to ignore the changelings, those malevolent intelligences consciously or unconsciously adapted to coopting your attention, generating social reinforcement, and harnessing your emotion. That is my perspective. I doubt it will change any time soon.</p> <p><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/OSR-unicursal-flag.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6430 size-full" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/OSR-unicursal-flag.png" alt="" width="800" height="494" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/OSR-unicursal-flag.png 800w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/OSR-unicursal-flag-300x185.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/OSR-unicursal-flag-768x474.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/OSR-unicursal-flag-624x385.png 624w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p> <hr /> <p><sup id="fn1">1. <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/matthew-finch/quick-primer-for-old-school-gaming/ebook/product-3159558.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quick Primer for Old School Gaming</a>, <a href="https://lithyscaphe.blogspot.com/p/principia-apocrypha.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Principia Apocrypha</a><a title="Jump back to footnote 1 in the text." href="#ref1">↩</a></sup></p> <p><sup id="fn2">2.

Volume 1 covers the first six Final Fantasy games, only three of which were originally released in North America. Physical quality is high: the binding is stitched and the paper quality is worthy of an art book. Props to Dark Horse. The overall content and layout is geared toward nostalgia, but that takes nothing away from the beautiful artwork. See the linked video for my full review (duration two minutes & 36 seconds).</p> <hr /> <div style="clear: both;"> <h2>Gallery</h2> <p><a
