As requested by @Autumnal, here are the (draft) cheat sheets I assembled for my upcoming Original D&D one-shot.

Notes:
Feedback is obviously welcome - especially if I missed anything important. But remember, I'm ignoring anything outside of the original boxed set!
OD&D - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Notes:
- These are based strictly on my understanding (and as needed, extrapolation) of the three books in the original boxed set. I deliberately did not reference Chainmail, Outdoor Survival, any of the OD&D supplements, any magazine or fanzine articles from the era, or any player experiences I could have researched online. I also tried hard not to rely on assumptions from later editions. The premise of this exercise is, "what if I found this game by itself in a hobby store in 1974?"
- The final versions will probably be more concise and table-friendly - this was partly an attempt to organize the rules into a more convenient form.
- I stopped with player options at level 6 - the odds of players getting that far in one session seem slim. I also left out the rules for aerial and naval combat.
