From D&D Disillusionment to OSR Enthusiasm: My Story

Discover my journey from D&D disillusionment to OSR enthusiasm. This video explores old school roleplaying games, the OSR movement, and how it reignited my passion for tabletop RPGs.

In this video, I share my personal story of falling out of love with modern D&D and how I stumbled upon the Old School Renaissance (OSR). I discuss:

My early experiences with D&D and misconceptions about how to play
The challenges I faced with modern roleplaying games
How I discovered solo roleplaying and the OSR
The impact of old school gaming on my creativity and enjoyment
Why OSR might be the solution for those feeling burnt out on modern RPGs

Whether you're a seasoned gamer looking for something new or a newcomer curious about different RPG styles, this video offers insights into the world of old school roleplaying and the potential to reignite your own passion for creativity in your tabletop gaming.
