Get the TETSNBN 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.

Get the Dragonsfoot 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.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.

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.

Get the The One True Game 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.
