I do track time similar to what's outlined, but not 100% exactly. As written in the 1e DMG sort of assumes a West Marches style game with multiple players and characters. That said, I use the metric of time away from the table passing = to real time, but not all situations in-game allow for...

Latest 'reviewcap' is live! The Old School Essentials gang completes 'Assault on Raven's Ruin.'

Archmage Merlinstergandaldore reacts to the Dungeons and Dragons movie trailer.

Hello everyone! I have made a quick vid to thank everyone who helped me achieve the first 100 subscriptions! The first milestone as I grow! Thank you everyone!

After a wee delay, the latest episode is live! Here I made an AD&D character because, well, I just wanted to consarnit!

The new episode is live. Another Reviewcap! Catching up with the Old School Essentials campaign as they continue their Assault on Raven's Ruin.

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!
