My god that would make me so happy.

I'd love to see an app for phones and tablets that lets you make characters but which also lets the DM run combat from his app, communicate via bluetooth to the players' apps and track and run everything that way. That's probably within the actual scope of what WotC can do, it's something...

Hmm, I'm not sure I realized TOEE was that level range.

Is there a good, dungeony, old school (look and feel, can be recent) adv étude that gets players from level one to six? I'm looking for something to act as a setup or prelude for Red Hand of Doom. Edition doesn't matter.

Duncan IV gets an 18 strength thanks to 4d6! We get to roll percentile strength in the fourth video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6ssk9xf_7U

I thing the absence of robust online support from WotC created a perceived need in the marketplace for material. WotC already produced more product than anyone could use in a lifetime of play. But it sat on the shelves next to even *more* stuff. I don't think there was any relation between the...

Wow, yeah that was a huge oversight. This is the second version of this video I did, I wasn't happy with the first one, but as if often the case when you scrap something and do it again, you lose good stuff from the first version and that's what happened here. Ah well, I'll see if I can fit...

Yyyes. Yes. I loved 4E but I don't find it good for the kind of game I like to run. And the kind of game WotC expected me to run, they didn't write good adventures for. So yeah, bring on 5.

Reading the first three paragraphs of that article convinced me we don't need a Bard, we have the Rogue.

I think the current plan is: Red Box Basic AD&D Unearthed Arcana AD&D 2 Skills & Powers 3E 3.5 Book of Nine Swords 4E Essentials 5E. THEN...we put the various fighters to use. :D See how combat changed over the years.

I'm really, really glad you guys like this. I had no expectations when I put this up. It was mostly something I did for me. The next one I plan on doing is this one, mostly because it's the one I have. :D Then on to AD&D.

I remember Gygax being worried that the term "level" being used everywhere was going to confuse everyone so in the AD&D DMG (I believe) he advised people use different terms like "circle" for character level and "order" for spell. I just looked through the DMG and cannot find that reference...

The series continues! I decided not to jump straight to 1979 because a LOT of the game we know took shape in 1976, two years after the original booklets came out. Thanks to the Greyhawk supplement, Duncan gets to use his strength for something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKN8XJiB7lU Alas...

I dunno how normal this is, but if I want something, and can afford it, I don't normally worry about how much it costs. So I can't really make an evaluation like "What should a $50 PHB have?" as opposed to a $40 or $30 or $60 book.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnjA4D0Z4pM I thought this would be a short video, doesn't take that long to make a dude in OD&D, but I became fascinated with all the weirdness in this game, and ended up doing a bunch of research, "why is this like this?" Watch in HD otherwise you won't be able...

Nevermind! I searched through a bunch of adventures, Keep on the Borderlands, In Search of Adventure, Against the Cult of the Reptile God, Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan, Giants, Slavers, and then Temple of Elemental Evil. It *is* in the Temple of Elemental Evil! Hah! Room 109.

Dwarves can detect sloping passages, and I know from talking to Gary about it that this ability was designed to thwart the DM's attempt to trick the party into going down a level into a more difficult dungeon level. You think you're on level 1, but you're really on level 2. And what level you're...

There's no such thing as DM integrity, there's only what works. Go with their idea. Or add to it, permute it. You're the gm.

I will miss it, but I'm also glad it's gone. I loved the way it made you feel as a player. All these cool options! Every round neat choices! Combos! So many cool new powers to look forward to! You felt like a star on your turn. I liked how they made everyone think tactically. Like a wargame or...

Ok, so, I haven't looked at it yet, but purely based on your one line description, The Star of Thing is *exactly* what I need. That's one sale!
