My son's 1st encounter with my OD&D group was pretty raucous! He's dressed in plate mail and helm, which he didn't take off, so the 'cheese grater' and 'do you need a straw to eat' jokes started and it just went on from there.
The sheer joy & chaos of OD&D is really a different vibe than my other D&D games. It's 2.5 hours of shenanigans and hijinks combined with "holy crap what is that?!?"
They did lure a rust monster *away* from the plated fighter so there's that...

It took 5 minutes to roll up my son's OD&D character for my Dungeon23 campaign (still going!) and another 5 min or so to get equipment sorted.
He's mostly played 5th edition (with brief forays into my AD&D/1e campaign) and he was pretty surprised!

As a DM, sometimes I watch the encounters I set in motion with a bit of foreboding, like "this could go badly..."
Watching 2 carrion crawlers almost take out a party with 4th level fighters and clerics... was a tense moment for everyone! Fortunately, the first level halfling fighter saved the day!
My carrion crawlers are like facehuggers, but with 8 tentacles, a maw plus legs and a 9 ft long body.

"Tucker's Kobolds" from 1987 is about giving weak #dnd monsters (honestly) excessive tricks including traps. It's a meme now, picked up on YouTube.
Looking through editions, there are zero references to kobolds using traps before it. #odnd just says they are weaker than goblins, basically the crappest humanoid. #adnd1e has them just fighting. #bxdnd says they "ambush". All before 1987. But #adnd2e (1989) has heavy reference to traps for them. TSR eating their own memes.

I've been looking into more #ttrpg #odnd retroclones recently. I've been quite an #OSE fan but reading #whiteboxFMAG got me interested, and then I started going down the "differences between using some books but not others" rabbit hole.
The thing that I found interesting, apart from the massive difference in monster power before and after Greyhawk, is how extremely similar OD&D with all books is to #ADnD. The latter has expanded detail and some extra rules but the structure is almost identical.

Der #Halloween #PnPde Abend hat ja prima geklappt. An drei Tischen wurden phantastische Welte erkundet und ich habe zum ersten Mal #ODnD geleitet :) Heute geht’s dann mit der #DeathInSpace Crew in den #Heidepark , wo wir uns mal ein bisschen erschrecken lassen.

Where do the non-chud #ttrpg old-schoolers go to chat these days? Is there a #discord channel or forum or something?

Skerples has published a post about OD&D & AD&D treasure tables. I hadn't realised he was working on a sequel to the Monster Overhaul, titled, logically, "The Treasure Overhaul".

Even though Mythmere Games took their ball and went home regarding Swords & Wizardry White Box, that is still my OD&D retroclone of choice! It's what powers my OD&D solo play. Fie on the chuds and incels who gave them a hard time about it!

The Radioactive Boogaloo booklet by Matthew Tapp, a free supplement for #BarrowsAndBorderlands is glued up! I'm digging the electric pink Dacron bowstring and the carpenter's glue (use what you have) is still flexible. I'll pick up some PVA (white) glue when I add cover pages and the cover. I'm not thinking hardcover, but maybe a sturdy cardstock with the printed cover graphics and book fabric?
