How many roads must a man travel down until he is called an
“old school gamer”. I never experienced 40k during its seminal Rogue Trader
era, or Battletech before the Clans invaded, or even the first edition of Magic
the Gathering. I definitely didn’t play D&D back in the 70’s. But I have
been playing long enough to talk about “the good old days”. Gaming has been a
part of my life for a long time, and many of the best times I have had with my
mates have been around a gaming board of some type. Experience has taught us to
stick to a thing when it is good and ride it hard. Looking back, it is amazing
to see how the games we play have changed, sometimes for the better and
sometimes for the downright abominable. This blog is about getting the most out
of the games we love and sharing those experiences. It is about old games and
reclaiming the good old days. It is about new games being turned into classics.
Most importantly, it is about good friends getting together and doing it “old
school.”
So what can you expect from this blog? I’m planning on
posting photos and reports of games we have played, review new games and rule-sets,
develop new house rules and discuss play tests, showcase gaming projects and
discuss old school heroes and villains in a weekly editorial.
How can you contribute? Feel free to send me photos of your
games with a description of what you did (long or short). Let me know about what
you are having fun with and what gets your goat in the gaming world. Send me
some pics of your gaming projects and help support other gamers in our
community by checking out their work and giving them encouragement. Finally,
you can vote for the “Old School Hero/Villain” of the week and send me
nominations. Above all, you can keep gaming!
See you across the table,
