Are TTRPG labels helpful, or do terms like OSR, NSR, “rules‑light” and “crunchy” just box us in? Join Peter (Tales from Elsewhere) and I as we dive into RPG genre debates, playstyle expectations, examples (D&D, Blades in the Dark, Burning Wheel, ShadowDark, etc.), and whether labels stop you from trying new games. Welcome to the Quantum Ogre Cast the topical TTRPG podcast you were destined to encounter no matter what choices you made!
