Let’s start with a short history lesson for those of us who never served in the bloody “edition wars”. While some of these players admit that this preference might seem somewhat odd to outsiders, they insist that this “primitive” edition has many virtues that critics often fail to appreciate. Nestled within that sphere of diehards is a small but thriving community of hardcore tabletop enthusiasts who insist on keeping it as old-school as possible: playing by the rules drafted out by the three “little brown booklets” included with the original 1974 edition of TSR’s Dungeons & Dragons, usually referred to by the acronym “OD&D”. In some cases, their devotion is as old as the game itself. While Fifth Edition continues to win over wide-eyed neophytes from the vast hordes of the uninitiated (read our own advice on how to get started with Dungeons & Dragons 5E as a player), even today, many groups of long-time players still refuse to make the leap to the latest version of the game. Most tabletop fans have thrown a rolled a d20 or two in their time - especially now, thanks to the unprecedented popularity of Dungeons & Dragons 5E - but we all have our own opinions about what edition of the RPG rules them all.
