Get the TATSNBN mug.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.

Get the The One True Game mug.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!

Get the Original Dungeons & Dragons mug.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.

Get the The One True Game mug.A dungeon is one of the primary tropes in D&D(Dungeons & Dragons) and a Mega-Dungeon is the true example of a properly designed dungeon. In RPG terminology it is a closed environment usually having many enemies and treasure. A Mega-Dungeon is very large and has 20 or more levels and has 500 rooms per level and up. The Largest known Mega-Dungeon has a full 1 million rooms.
Exploring a Mega-Dungeon in D&D(Dungeons & Dragons) is fun at an extreme level, providing that you have a good referee.
