"Grognard" is one of my favorite words. I've seen a few meanings for it about old soldiers, pendants and grumblers, but the best definition is referring to table top gamers who prefer the old fashioned stuff. Even better and funnier when referring to fantasy table top gamers, because it sounds like an old fashioned fantasy creature.

I bet people who prefer Final Fantasy 1-6 and 9 get called Grognards.

I thank Alfred for this one. I've found a few instances of it but I don't know if anyone coined it or it's something people came up with independently.

I like logy, not the suffix but the American word with a hard g; nobody uses it here but it's a perfect term for what it describes, that long o, you feel logy just saying it
