New episode is live! A new 'Reviewcap' - a video series wherein I recap and review games running published modules! This time around it's a group playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1st Edition, starting through NIGHT BELOW!

Hello everyone! I only had time for a quick video this week - so a brief tip on creating an initiative tracking board for 5th ed initiative, to speed it up.

In pretty much any edition of D&D (at least the ones I've played regularly) I feel it's enemy parties comprised of PC classes that can be the most dangerous.

That's wild. Do you get a lot of complaints when the subsequent rolls go south? I've seen players get really salty when it comes to hit points...

I don't make it of higher level, I keep it equal to the PC. The purpose isn't punishment. It's in part to show that stats aren't the be all and end all of a character. It's also in part something I felt could be interesting in a game - to have a nemesis off the bat. So I gave it a try. Like I...

Oh noes! A random internet troll doesn't believe me! My whole day is ruined! I must now go rethink the entirety of my existence.

Apologies, I wasn't clear - I don't give them ANYTHING I want - I craft the NPC villain only with options that are 100% player facing. This is a character the player could have made.

Yup, that was the exact response from one player who took the option... as expected. ;) Alas, that player left the game after the PvP he initiated didn't go his way, but when I showed the curious players the NPC who was after him they got worried and were glad he was gone because they didn't...

For 5e I use 3d6, assign as desired. If players are unhappy with their attributes they may invoke a Faustian bargain, in which they may reroll the character but must keep the new rolls regardless of whether it's an improvement. Further, I take the discarded stats and craft them into an enemy...

When a Fighter reaches 9th level they can clear a chunk of land, roughly a 50 mile area, give or take, around their proposed Keep site. Pacifying the land can take years, but it's a good chance for adventure and XP. Once that's done, you attract settlers, wherein you gain a passive income of 7...

My latest video is up! A quick step by step to help Magic Users figure out their first level spells in Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1st Edition, by the book.

My physiology! I went from a flesh-and-blood human to puppet! Also, I can no longer talk without someone's hand up my butt! You try DMing under these conditions! AHHHHH!

I have been quite happy with the PoD copies I've received. My only complaint, is that in the case of maps, Especially larger foldout maps, like in Night Below, I wish they'd actually print up a poster sized map. It would probably add to the cost - so perhaps an option to do so in the very...

My new episode is live. A new 'Reviewcap' following the exploits of the newly formed Old School Essentials campaign, session #2!

Huh! I would have thought Isle of Dread would already be available. 🤔. I never looked into it as I have the original one. I filled out my b-series modules with pod copies. Now to run groups through them!

I grabbed a hardcover pod of Night Below earlier this year… it’s a beast!

I too have been buying a bunch of PoD reprints from Drive Thru RPG... but nothing at the scale you're demonstrating...

Thanks! Trying to keep a relative schedule and get videos out weekly-ish... I hope you continue to enjoy them!

My latest video is live. A quick topic, exploring how to shorthand the AD&D 1st Ed Combat Matrix.

'Horns' eh? What do they think I am, a Tiefling? What do you all think - should I make this my promo picture for my channel? :unsure:
