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.
