This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Are there any OD&D players/Refs on this Board? Or is this place all about the new stuff?
Always remember, as a first principle of all D&D: playing BtB is not now, never was and never will be old school.

Rules lawyers have missed the heart and soul of old school D&D.

Munchkins are not there to have fun, munchkins are there to make sure no one else does.

Nothing is more dishonorable, than being a min-maxer munchkin rules lawyer.

Surely you jest...

The answer is, "Yes."

Wait, are you implying anything after OD&D is new?

Traveller isn't new. Empire of the Petal Throne isn't new. Tunnels and Trolls probably isn't new either. (It seems like I've been ignoring it for nearly half a century.) Runequest is kind of new. Everything else though? That stuff is all new.

There is a strong OD&D/OSR contingent here.

Was not implying anything, just calling it like I see it.

I will accept the first two as not new.

Glad to hear it.

Love your signature. I was there a short time and got a 3 month ban and am working on that permaban. Course I was permabanned from DF years ago.

Yep, never played it but my last two successful campaigns were OD&D, though it hit a point of house ruled into some sort of Frankenstein.

OD&D stuff is for old duffers who can't get over the imaginary Good Old Days when men were men, women were women and games didn't have any gosh darn queers in them.  We only play Monsterhearts here.  If you play anything else, that means you hate gay people and want to kill them.  You don't hate gay people, do you?

Welcome Crimhthan!

Plenty of us. Of course, the line between OD&D and AD&D is debatable, but if you are looking for Old School fans, this site has many and the owner RPGPundit has written two OSR games - Arrows of Indra and Dark Albion - both which have gotten great reviews.

How did you get banned from Dragonsfoot?

Nothing imaginary about the Good Old Days, I still live there with my 43 year old campaign that is going strong. What are Monsterhearts? What are gay people? Do you mean light-hearted and carefree people or something else?
