I'm an old school gamer, from back when we didn't have hoity-toity software to help us. We played with miniatures and we LIKED it. And I don't mean the whimpy pre-colored plastic kind. The kind made out of lead that we had to color with cyanide laced paint. Many lives were lost in those dark days before PDFs, since even the smallest papercuts from AD&D Dungeon Master's Manuals XP index coupled with gamer's lack of hygiene were often a lethal combination. Sadly, I saw too many friends burn out their prefrontal cortex trying to make a GURPS character. Back then RPGs were not just about the character's survival but the players as well.
Don't get me wrong, I can get down and groovy, and hang with the young folk playing Pathfinder, Mutants and Masterminds, or even D&D 5e.
But ah the good old days....
