D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) now referred to as OD&DOriginal 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&DDungeons & Dragons now referred to as OD&DOriginal Dungeons & Dragons .
D&DDungeons & Dragonsis now referred to as OD&DOriginal 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.

Get the D&D 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 Paladin 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 D&D(Dungeons & Dragons) mug.A dungeon is one of the primary tropes in D&D(Dungeons & Dragons). In RPG terminology it is a closed environment usually having many enemies and treasure. Any respectable dungeon should have at least 8-10 levels with at least 50-100 rooms per level as a minimum. If a dungeon is smaller than this it is a mini-dungeon.
Exploring a dungeon in D&D(Dungeons & Dragons) is fun at an extreme level, providing that you have a good referee.

Get the Dungeon mug.A derogatory term used to denigrate old school players of Dungeons & Dragons, and considered a gross insult among real old school players and DMs. Users of the term falsely claim that murderhobo was the style of play back in the day (1974-1978) and that is based on a false understanding of what old school play is.
Bitd the way that the original old school Dungeons & Dragons was played was as a game of exploration and management of resources. The normal play style meant that you a avoided combat when possible and gained treasure by other means. A player in those days only went into combat when it could not be avoided and only killed when it was necessary. The killing of innocents was always frowned upon. If the goal could be obtained through other types of interaction, that was the preferred day.
Adults who play the murderhobo style which involves killing innocents, even women and children, are people who have mental health issues

Get the murderhobo mug.Dragonsfoot is an online association of fans of 1st Ed AD&D, the group as a whole look down on all other versions of D&D/AD&D(2nd ED AD&D, OD&D, Classic D&D). The website is notorious in the RPG community for its members extreme hatred of the more recent editions of D&D (3.xE-4E-5E) and its current publishers Wizards of the Coast.
This site claims to be old school, but the vast majority of its members reject the DIY origins of the game. A few members from K & K Alehouse can dictate the banning of members that they do not like. It is notorious for the many internet flame wars that have resulted from the majorities refusal to allow any views that deviate from the "ONE TRUE WAY TO PLAY" which is the anti-DIY view imported from Knights & Knaves Alehouse. This anti-DIY view is characterized by extreme hatred of the Arneson & Gygax style of play. This faux "ONE TRUE WAY TO PLAY" is anti-DIY & anti-old school. They ban the most creative people from the site.
There is no "ONE TRUE WAY TO PLAY"; however, it should be noted that DIY is the original intended type of play for which the Original Dungeons & Dragons was designed to facilitate.
There is "ONE TRUE GAME" and that is the Original Dungeons & Dragons.
The truth and the facts can get you banned. It is a very unfriendly echo chamber and the only good thing is the huge amount of fan made gaming materials available for download.
Dragonsfoot members freely admit, Dragonsfoot is like a gay bar.

Dragonsfoot is a great place to go to get free fan made gaming materials. It is not a good place to discuss real old school DIY gaming.
