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.
