I always enjoy when people who have never watched my channel before come in hot into the comments to tell me that my videos are too long and then spend 4 paragraphs dissecting every part of my video that was "not interesting enough to watch." 🤣🤣🤣
My new video looks at Dragon Magazine in 1979, when D&D was successful, but still very much in flux.
Players were debating alignment, realism, class roles, life beyond the dungeon, and what the rules were even supposed to cover!

I made this week’s video because AD&D began to feel different in the mid-1980s. Unearthed Arcana, Oriental Adventures, & the Survival Guides did more than just add more material. They also got players changing what they expected the game to be able to do.

My new video looks at B1, B2, T1, N1, and U1, and what those early TSR “starter” adventures were actually teaching players and novice DMs.
They weren’t all teaching the same kind of D&D.

I’ve got a new video up looking at how treasure actually worked in early D&D, including gold-for-XP, treasure tables, encumbrance, and why so many TSR-era mechanics were connected through treasure in the first place.

A lot of people say D&D is supposed to be about story. But when you look at early D&D, that expectation gets more complicated.
My new video looks at where that idea came from, and what the early game was actually built to do.

I’m looking at Isle of Dread, Castle Amber, and Curse of Xanathon to ask what they reveal about the concept of “exploration” actually meant in early D&D.
I find the answer is not as simple as just “hex crawling.”

My new video is now live. This one is on the Druid in early D&D, and the more I worked on it, the more it felt like the class is a bit strange not just because of its abilities, but because of what it’s trying to be.

Since 2015, April 15th means a Death & Taxes.
Today, I made it to Kings Row Gastropub & had my favorite bartender mix one up. Still feels like the right way to mark the day.
Anyone else have a date-specific tradition like this?
