What is Original Dungeons & Dragons?
The Original Dungeons & Dragons aka OD&D was published in 1974 and it was created first and foremost as a DIY game. Anyone playing BtB is ignoring the many admonishments in the text to take the game and make it you own. BtB players along with their close kin the evil rules lawyers, evil power gamers and and the extremely evil munchkins are anti-DIY and anti-old school and are in fact playing the game in its most limited and least fun form. The game is intended to be a free-wheeling fly by the seat of you pants romp through the multiverse. Anything less is cheating yourself and your players out of the most excellent time they could have been having.
So do not be a evil, cowardly, conniving, whiny weasel BtB/rules lawyer/power-gaming/munchkin. Instead embrace the DIY way and have some real fun. Instead of blindly using railroaded modules, create something original. If you are any good as a referee, then your players will thank you!
Original Dungeons & Dragons is the One True Game and all other games are inferior wimpy imitations.
