Okay, so my Old School cred is suspect since I DM D&D 3.5. I do think I DM in old school fashion and I tried to explain what old school D&D was all about at the GASP forum.
So, you might ask, why am I explaining myself? So I can get in on James's sweet bandwagon over at the Underdark Gazette! Sorry, it was just too fun to pass up.
As my contribution to the old school D&D movement, I'll share what I posted at GASP:
"In my opinion, if there is any unifying element to "old school", I think it's the acceptance of the DM as a referee and adversary rather than the GM as a story teller."
So you if you hit this post, uhm, unintentionally, but are actually interested in old school D&D, check out the OSR (Old School Renaissance/Revival/Rules/Rectum). You can find a much better write up of it over here: the ChicagoWiz's RPG Blog.
Oh, and here is what you are actually looking for (be sure to stick around for the NSFW link below, you perv).

And if those aren't large enough for you, check out this NSFW pic: link
I kid you not, I found that with a Google Image search for "elvish chick" on the moderate safety level.

Plum Blossom - Rogue/Monk
 |
| artwork by the player, Dave "the Knave" White |
Plum, however, was known more for her seemingly endless supply of DM annoyances. And thus, let's begin her career highlights:
- Repeatedly used mundane magic items to thwart supposedly uber tough villains. Cashe in point: she all but nullified a high priest of Orcus during a temple battle with a freakin' tanglefoot bag.
- Used a Quaal's feather token to drop an anchor on an evil centaur's back (while riding said centaur).
- Freakin' tumbled unscathed through a blade barrier cast by a rather high level goblin wizard.
- Impersonated the Great El Goblino.
- Became an alcoholism enabler to the party's resident faerie dragon.
- Was at ground zero for a Necklace of Fireballs malfunction (she was resurrected, but lost just about all her gear in the fire. It was glorious.)
- Pinned a black skeleton to the ground with an immovable rod.
- After years of heckling by the DM and fellow party members for use of shurikens (keep in mind his PC had a strength penalty), scored a triple critical with a shruriken, burying it in a bugbear barbarian's kidney (we use the Critical Hit Deck
).
