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.
