I'm currently DM'ing a game for my old friends from high school. We are
using AD&D 1st Edition, and I'm very familiar with OSR.

My first RPG was Top Secret way back when. :-)

When you say 'modern trends' I think you are asking about my preference of
game. I meant that Gencon and other places are very OPEN and INVITING to
people of all beliefs, and I'm okay with that! The problem is if someone
asks for my opinion I will give it, and I know it's likely to label me
a 'hater,' even though that's not true and definately not my intent.

 Ar> If you want something more traditional there is the Pendragon game,

 Ar> King Arthur from start to finish.

Have heard of and read about that - not something I ever looked deeply into,
but always thought it was interesting!
