Dozens of late 70's and early 80's games... typed on a typewriter, printed on foil plates electro-optically cut, laid out in cluttered narrow columns... often stream of consciousness... the days befor DTP tech.

I have a few TTRPGs from the 1990s and even those layouts leave quite a bit to be desired, so I can only imagine those from the 1970s and early 1980s would be even worse.

Some are suprisingly functional layouts.

Kurtic & Russo's Space Patrol is surprisingly clean for a 3 col typewriter layout. Sufficient whitespace, reasonable organization.

Compared to the slightly older wargame from the same publisher, Zocchi & Kurtic's Star Fleet Battle Manual is cluttered and dense.

Do you chat with fellow players about the game between sessions or is game night during the session the only time you talk about it?

If they want to.

Depends on people and group.

For my Thursday night group, our paths do not really cross outside of the game and that is held online. So, not much no.

My Wens night group has dwindled down to three people, despite our efforts to recruit new players. Still, one of them works nearby and he occasionally drops by and we theorycraft about character options, wold building, and settings.

The same Wens night player is also in my monthly Shadowrun game and also joins in on learn to play sessions as well, so we end up talking Shadowrun quite a bit.

My wife and I often talk about the games we are in together, but less so about the games she is not in. She is more interested in the characters and settings rather than mechanics.
