Episode 61 - OD&D and Holmes Basic

This episode, I take a look at how I’ve used Holmes Basic with my OD&D (and AD&D) games, and a quick comparison of differences between the influential Basic set and the original game.

I used to enjoy these accidental juxtapositions in Twitter, nice to see they also happen in Mastodon. :)

Oof. I had heard that Dr Holmes (the author of the first/1977 Basic D&D game) dungeons and notes were going to be released, I was interested.

It seems that their treatment... may not be what they should have been by the publisher. :(

I trust Aldarron/DH Boggs as he's been a straight forward, reliable member of the OSR since I've known him from 2009.

by Ashton Pittman in #MississippiFreePress:

"'I held up my license. At that point, Officer Walters snatched my phone out of my hand, he slammed it on the top of the car,' she said. 'He started trying to yank at my door handle, trying to pull it open. My car door was locked. He reached through the window and unlocked my car door through the inside. He pulled the door open, pulled me out of the car, pushed me against the car, and then proceeded to arrest me—cuff me. He put my hands behind my back. I did not resist.'”
