Every time I say #OSR, I cringe.
Based on the works of bigoted, shallow people like #Gygax and others, worse[1].
I should start to only use hashtag #NuSR to distance from all that cringe.

@jonn But doesn't NuSR imply a very close relationship?
Also, what is NuSR actually supposed to mean?
@Yora to me it's OSR with two modifications:
1. Game design over tradition (design goals inform mechanics rather than simulation and tradition-compliance).
2. Inclusivity over bigotry (cherish diversity, not destroy it).
@Yora The rest is sort of inherited from OSR:
1. Cunning over head-on
2. Player skill applies to situations, not combinations of character's abilities
3. Weird over standard
4. Environment over personality
5. Real danger over pretend-danger
6. Simulation over collective narration
But the two points I mentioned in the previous toot make it clear if a system in front of you is #NuSR. #Whitehack is, for example.
@yochaigal @Yora wow, it's an honour to meet you! I felt like #NSR community doesn't exist lol.
Thanks for the materials and links, gonna hop straight on!
