New School Gaming is a style of play for TTRPGs that seeks to emulate video game play. It has a focus on railroaded play where player decisions do not affect the outcome of the game. Instead of having a risk of death for the characters, the game is dumbed down and made easier so that winning is assured and nothing difficult is encountered. Use of your imagination is discouraged and skills related to being able to think outside the box are not needed.
New School Gaming is all about all round pegs for all round holes, total uniformity and nothing unique.
