An honest look at nostalgia in TTRPGs. What we think we miss, what we actually long for, and how modern game design quietly traded simplicity for safety padding.In this episode, I break down why old-school danger mattered, why more tools don’t always mean better play, and why Depths leans into clarity, danger, and player agency instead of soft edges.A calm, reflective Vindicast episode about the game we never truly played.
