This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Your biggest regret about OD&D

As for OD&D, I can't say I really have any 'regrets', I just don't really play it.  I vastly prefer B/X or the RC, or AD&D 1e.

I'm mostly with you; the only caveat I would add is that the speed and power level of combat when you use Chainmail is massively different and I think better than standard D&D. And, while virtually no one plays OD&D using Chainmail combat, it is 'supported', at least in the first set. Beyond that, OD&D is a lot like disassembling the 1eAD&D player's handbook and monster manual and gluing them back together in random order to make small digest sized books.
