I read a post today about someone wanting to play an OSR game and then cooling on it quite rapidly because the GM presented them with a river to cross and they couldn't work out how to do it.
Players moaning about misty-stepping and athletics rolls.
Reminiscent of Chris Bissette writing an adventure for an MCDM magazine and editor reporting that it caused a series of TPKs because 5e players just walked into the river because there wasn't a 'pass river' skill.

@Taskerland That just doesn't fit in my head. It's only explicable if you are totally board-gaming it?

The bearded dragonsfoot reference person did that to us in a game and we walked off in disgust. @DarkestKale @RogerBW @BigJackBrass @Taskerland @satsuma

It's a euphemism for a colleague from Junkshop and my historical gaming, who is a guru of AD&D at Dragonsfoot to the point of it being a pathology. He affects a goatee. Hence "Bearded Dragonsfoot" @devilsjunkshop @DarkestKale

It preserves some degree of dignity and decorum saying things like Bearded Dragonsfoot, rather than naming names. @DarkestKale @devilsjunkshop
