Where original-edition tables compare procedures

Discussion norms and pointers—not an exhaustive directory of every Discord on earth.

Original-edition circles work when empty rooms and referee judgment are allowed topics—not edition warfare.

Use Resources for public lineage doors such as Original D&D (1974) and Chainmail roots. Spoiler labels for golden-age sites.

Point newcomers at the glossary for hit dice, name level, and stocking talk before the thread becomes a rules committee.

Cite designers when you share maps or stocking tools. Procedures here; play at the table.

Related desks in this neighborhood

Sibling desks cover AD&D, OSR frameworks, and later edition crates when you need a different dialect with the same sandbox heart.

Keep notes short enough to reread before a session. Long wikis that nobody opens are not preparation; they are archaeology.

When in doubt, run the smaller scenario, teach one procedure well, and leave room for player ideas that were not in your outline.
