While some purists restrict the "OSR" label to games emulating OD&D and/or Mentzer Basic, others consider anything from the hobby's first decade fair game; thus, having first been published only six years after OD&D, under the broader definition you could technically write an OSR game based on this:
The cover of "Dallas: The Television Roleplaying Game", a licensed RPG based on the 1978 American prime time soap opera of the same name. The cover depicts Larry Hagman in the role of J R Ewing, dressed in a business suit and a large cowboy hat, surrounded by inset photos of the remainder of the show's principal cast. The cover's promotional blurb reads "All the drama and power, the wheeling and dealing, the loves and lives of TV's greatest family are yours to enact in this fun-filled, fast-playing game."

MoO is not coop. I’ve played it with a friend in the same room. The only coop we did was defeat all the computer players before we attack each other.

A thing about BoardGameGeek: it's all one massive database, so if people are reviewbombing a game because (say) there's a black character in it, you can click through and see who they are, and note their ids, and then every time they post on the BGG forums in future you can reply "STFU you racist."

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada which emerged in the wake of a commission examining the genocidal institutions of the Canadian Residential Schools. They issued 94 calls to action, and only 15 of those have been fully implemented to date. www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...
