The Old School Renaissance

from Tabletop Tune Up · host Ben Dyer

How good were the good old days? In this week's episode, Mark and Ben talk about the Old School Renaissance, a trend in modern games to return to themes and styles of play popular in the early days of role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. We'll talk about some of those themes and styles, and what makes them a refreshing alternative to modern gameplay today. Was it all great? Probably not, but tune in this week and learn more about a whole category of games that will inspire you to consider traveling the hobby's ancient roads in your next game.
