Here I am arguing against the split into the various sub “camps” of current RPG culture. I used to believe in this divide, too, but now I’m convinced the differences are just talked up and don’t really exist except as tags, not inherently better or worse than tags such as “solo”, “rules lite”, “gonzo” and all the other ways of splitting it up. The tags remain important for some people to “find their crowd” but that’s far weaker than saying that these are the most important splits in RPG culture.
My actual favourite category would actually be “64 pages or less for rules, setting and adventure”! 😅
Nah, all RPGs are legit but having subcategories or “tags” is super useful to find what’s relevant to you, your play style, and your interests. I see no downside to this “split” because I can be part of a 5e server for 5e stuff and I can be part of a osr server for osr. But tbf I’m used to reddit so I dunno how things will work outside that.
