Tenkar talks a shift in the Boomer OSR
It's about time that B/X start being seen as the limited game that it is.
It does not help at all that the actual B/X products are now legally available, and through that can be made available in print as required.
The problem is that, as we saw over 40 years ago, players showed by Revealed Preference that they want more than B/X offered. We are well beyond Moldvay/Cook and Mentzer; most folks want what AD&D offeres, which is why that is the strain that Wizards of the Coast tapped from 3.X forward and not the B/X line.
Expect to see more of this as the Collapse continues and more people fall back to Revealed Preference Consensus.
