I recently noticed on Facebook that another “old school” RPG was being kickstarted and this got me thinking “why is there such a fascination with the old school stuff?” I chose an image of my friends playing Dungeon World because I’ve often described this game as “feeling like what I remember of the early days of playing Dungeons and Dragons.” Back then we were kids telling epic stories together. But this capacity to tell epic stories really should transcend the game mechanics, and to be honest I think that there is a bit of selective memory going on, at least in my own mind theatre.
