Someone quipped last night, in a conversation over some drinks, that the OSR movement is the “Tea Party of role playing games” (not me, btw, though I did find it amusing).
Any thoughts?

Ouch. Is all I have to say about the comment. However, I don’t understand why people just do not play the originals. I just got B\X with caves of Chaos and Isle of Dread for less than $20 on eBay, including shipping. And I may be quibbling here but for me it is nostalgia not OSR.

Jason, thanks for the mention in your list of favorite sessions for this year. That was very sweet of you.

parrish warren The comment was made as a sort of good-natured jest (the way you might tease a sibling). There was plenty to go around last night, such as my observation that the story game community sometimes produces work that is eye-rollingly precious.
Doyle Tavener It was a really great session of Lacuna. And a nice reminder that good GM’ing still has a role to play (so to speak) in our hobby.

parrish warren, I actually don’t play much using the original sets. My FtF game is very much a modded OD&D, via S&W, and I play a lot of DCC RPG on line, as well as LotFP.
Yes, I love acronyms.
Once every two weeks I do play AD&D, 1st edition. Which I also enjoy. Old-school play always implies a DIY approach, ala Zak S.
