If you are interested in joining the Original Dungeons & Dragons discussion forum (aka ODD74), registration is now open but requires moderator approval. However, I am a moderator there and can approve your registration. Due to ongoing problems with a former member who made multiple accounts (sock-puppets), we may require further verification of your identity (such as other places where you post). Generally if you are a member here and I am familiar with you I will approve your registration immediately.

  1. Here is a link to the forums in general. Currently the main "D&D" sub-forum is hidden if you are not logged in due to content copying-and-pasting to another forum without attribution: odd74.proboards.com - Home | Original D&D Discussion

  3. I've lurked there for years, but without topic reply notification, I never get any emails announcing new activity, so I rarely go there. :/

  5. Zach H Hi
    So, I am glad you brought this up. A couple weeks ago, I started the sign up process there, but stopped half way through (got distracted or something). But somehow I managed to get myself Banned. So I must have gotten that far, but didn't send the message or ??
    Hope there is an easy way to straighten that out? Thanks in advance for anything you can do to help.

  7. Wolfgang Coe One of the other mods may have banned you for not responded to a PM or email. I'll take a look. What use name did you register under? I can't look it up easily without that info.

  8. Why would anyone need sock puppets in such a board? To win arguments over OD&D? oh, the humanity.

    Thanks for the help. It would have been using chWolfgang. I try to use that username whenever I can. Other wise it would have just been Wolfgang

  13. Matteo Radice It's hard to understand. On ODD74 he kept the sock puppet accounts under wraps until he got into a disagreement and then tried to make it seem as if a bunch of users were protesting his treatment. It was pretty easy to spot since most of the other posters had few posts. On his own board he seems to do it to make the board seem more active and like more folks are interested in OD&D in the same manner as himself.

  14. Thanks. Not sure I'll be especially active, but it's nice to be included!

  15. Jonathan Becker You are welcome. We'd love to have you post there. Even just posting links to your blog (with a bit of context perhaps) if it references OD&D etc.

  16. Wolfgang Coe I sent an email to the address you used to register at ODD74. Did you get it?
