You know you're a gaming family when...

"I name this child Alurax Ettinslayer and baptise him in the name of...oh, hang on...pass me Deities and Demigods..."

That's what Old School means to me

"These rules are flexible and open to interpretation - designed not to cover all conceivable situations, but to allow good Referees and Players the freedom to create and play games of their own design."

from the Lulu download page for The White Box S&W from BHP

"This game is unlike chess in that the rules are not cut and dried. In many places, they are guidelines and suggested methods only. This is part of the attraction of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons"

from page 8 of the Players' Handbook, 1978
