Get the Old School Gaming mug.This refers to the Original Dungeons & Dragons published in 1974. It is truly The One True Game and provides more fun and enjoyment than any other game ever devised. Only above average people can play the game since those with less than normal (i.e. above average) have enough intelligence and imagination to play The one True GameOne
One thing about The One True Game, it has few adherents since most people are too lazy to play the real thing.

Get the The One True Game mug.A Paladin is a character class created for OD&D the Original Dungeons & Dragons. All paladins must be Lawful (Lawful Good). All other alignments are only applied to paladins in inferior versions of D&D(Dungeons & Dragons) and other cheap inferior ripoffs of D&D(Dungeons & Dragons). Properly played Paladins are never Lawful Stupid - that only results from having a bad DM and bad players.
Playing a Paladin correctly in the real spirit of the game is something to which all roleplayers should aspire.

When you think of a Paladin, think of sweet combination of Batman and Superman in regard to character.

Get the D&D mug.Dragonsfoot is an online association of fans of 1st Ed AD&D who look down on all other versions of D&D/AD&D as inferior. This website is notorious in the RPG community for its members extreme hatred of all other games, especially newer editons of D&D, story games, and anything by a certain cigar smoking fellow.
This site claims to be old school, but the vast majority of its members reject the DIY origins of the game. A K&K Alehouse contingent often dictates the banning of DIY members. It is notorious for many Internet Flame Wars. The Knights & Knaves Alehouse anti-DIY view is the chosen “ONE TRUE WAY TO PLAY” and characterizes the extreme hatred for Arneson & Gygax style of play. In keeping with this they ban the most creative people from the site and the people who present facts or tell inconvenient truths.
They all agree that “shape-shifting dragon-angle hybrid assassin/paladins” and the players that choose them are scum. That of course is correct, such things are scum.
This site does have a huge amount of fan made gaming materials available for download. The forum has some good material if you can wade through all the vitriol. The Workshop is also good.
Dragonsfoot members freely admit, Dragonsfoot is like a gay bar. Not surprising for an unfriendly echo chamber..
What about the OSR(Old School Renaissance). Dragonsfoot only supports the LGBTQP+ supporting ones. See the SWORD DREAM movement.
