It’s not as common as it used to
be, but from time to time you still see a particular phenomenon pop up as a
point of contention within the hobby of roleplaying. The phenomenon in question
is a tendency by one group or another of roleplayers to decide that some other
style of the hobby is inferior or else not even roleplaying at all. I have seen
fans of the older style games hurl invective filled tirades at newer games,
dismissing the players as sycophants, fad-followers and other such terms. I
have also seen fans of newer style games dismiss even classics of the hobby
such as Dungeons and Dragons as being wargames or even simply a board game. I
have heard stories related to the Forge in which some individuals who had had
some clout in the industry tried to paint certain styles of gameplay as being
inferior, or even damaging, as compared to others.
