People who play The One True Game the Original Dungeons & Dragons in the real authentic old school way. Old School Gamers do not play any inferior games.

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.

This refers to the Original Dungeons & Dragons published in 1974. It is truly The One True Game, the game that rules all other games and provides more fun and enjoyment than any other game ever devised.
It requires imagination and creativity, that limits the game to those who are of above average intelligence. It also requires flexible thinking and the ability to make decisions. This disqualifies the rules lawyers, the by the book crowd and the decision challenged.
The One True Game makes a clear distinction between the Old School Gaming and New School Gaming.

The One True Game refers specifically to the 1974 original version of Dungeons & Dragons that was published as 3 little booklets in first a small woodgrain color box and later in a small white box. This usage is by ardent supporters of the Original Dungeons & Dragons game and is an indication of their passion for and devotion to the original D&D game and is not to be taken as anything else.
No, no I didn't mean TETSNBN or TATSNBN or even YAATSNBN, I was talking about The One True Game, the Original Dungeons & Dragons.

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.

Old School Gaming is the way that real Old School Gamers play The One True Game the Original Dungeons & Dragons in the real authentic old school way. This is the only legitimate application of the term Old School Gaming.

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.
