Are TTRPG Labels Helpful? Ft @TalesFromElsewhere

from Quantum Ogre Cast Hosted by Elder Goblin Games

Are TTRPG labels helpful, or do terms like OSR, NSR, “rules‑light” and “crunchy” just box us in? Join Peter (Tales from Elsewhere) and I as we dive into RPG genre debates, playstyle expectations, examples (D&D, Blades in the Dark, Burning Wheel, ShadowDark, etc.), and whether labels stop you from trying new games.
