dungeons and dragons
The world's most popular pen & paper Role Playing Game (RPG). Created in 1974 by E. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) combines role-playing with turn-based tactical combat. In a D&D game, one player is the "dungeon master" (DM) and the rest of the players are "player characters" (PCs). The PCs assume the role of adventurers (using fantasy archaetypes such as elves, wizards, halflings, barbarians, etc) while the DM creates challenges for the PCs to overcome (such as monsters and traps).
Over the years, the D&D game has been revised and published in multiple editions. The rights to Dungeons & Dragons are currently owned by Wizards of the Coast (creators of Magic: The Gathering) and Hasbro.

Dungeons and Dragons
A popular pen and paper game, D&D has been a major influence on the video game industry.
Dungeons and Dragons is usually played with three or more people, but it is possible for the game to be played with only 2 players. One of the players is the Dungeon Master, or DM. The DM is responsible with describing what is going on in the game world to the players, and then the players act accordingly. The DM is also the final arbiter of the rules, and his/her dominion over the game that s/he is running is absolute. The rolling of polyhedral dice is used to determine many of the outcomes of the actions of the player.
Players take on the role of one of several classes, and can choose to play as one of several races. The main races are Tolkienesque, such as Elves, Orcs, Humans, and Dwarves, but many other interesting races are also present. Planetouched Elemental characters, half dragons, and vampires are all playable, among others.
The stereotypical D&D player is a socially maladjusted loner or loser, who is also a virgin. The stereotype often has pasty skin and severe acne, a speech impediment, and braces.
I, however, have yet to encounter any D&D player that fits this criteria. Therefore, whoever created the D&D stereotype is either a dipshit, or a fucktard.
Nearly all of the people that I know who play D&D are easygoing, laid back, and chilled out. They are aware of the fact that playing D&D isn't necessarily "cool", but they find it enjoyable and think everyone else who judges them for it should fuck off.

Original Dungeons & Dragons
The Original Dungeons & Dragons aka OD&D was published in 1974 and it was created first and foremost as a DIY game. Anyone playing BtB is ignoring the many admonishments in the text to take the game and make it you own. BtB players along with their close kin the evil rules lawyers, evil power gamers and and the extremely evil munchkins are anti-DIY and anti-old school and are in fact playing the game in its most limited and least fun form. The game is intended to be a free-wheeling fly by the seat of you pants romp through the multiverse. Anything less is cheating yourself and your players out of the most excellent time they could have been having.
So do not be a evil, cowardly, conniving, whiny weasel BtB/rules lawyer/power-gaming/munchkin. Instead embrace the DIY way and have some real fun. Instead of blindly using railroaded modules, create something original. If you are any good as a referee, then your players will thank you!

D&D(Dungeons & Dragons)
D&D(Dungeons & Dragons) now referred to as OD&D(Original Dungeons & Dragons) published in 1974 was originally created by Dave (David Lance) Arneson in his home campaign called Blackmoor in 1971. After Dave Arneson introduced Gary Gygax to the game in 1972, Gygax took Arnesons unique transcendent creative concept and added a few of his own ideas and wrote the game published as D&D(Dungeons & Dragons) now referred to as OD&D(Original Dungeons & Dragons) .
D&D(Dungeons & Dragons)is now referred to as OD&D(Original Dungeons & Dragons) to separate it from all of the later inferior game versions bearing the names D&D and AD&D. The D&D versions referred to as 3.x, 4E and 5E are descended from the AD&D line and not from the original D&D line of games.
OD&D is the best and greatest of all roleplaying games and all other games are cheap inferior knockoffs of the original gem. OD&D is the One True Game.
