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.

The party retraces steps back in Maw & finds a half-eaten corpse. They decide to explore more.
One room has kobold zombies w/centipedes & crude throne w/treasure underneath!. 3 white arrows w/silver tips, also gems.
PCs then find strange room w/floating, pulsing crystal they can't retrieve easily. They retreat back to town!

I'm going to write up the recap of this completely awesome, crazy Dungeon23 OD&D session... but since a picture is worth > 500 characters, here's what was written on the Jamboard map tonight.

To play: I don't get to play at cons all that often, I end up running mostly. My favorite "type" of game to play is in superhero or in types of games/systems that I don't normally play. That way, I get to experience new things and try out games that I don't have!
To run: I've really enjoyed learning about Greyhawk and using OD&D+Chainmail while I run my take on the classic D&D module T1 Village of Hommlet.

Why do I enjoy them so much more than more modern versions? That's a hard question to answer because all of my answers come down to "I just enjoy them more." I can still find great players who want to play them! And that's enough for me.

That has to go to Whitebox ODnD.
Yup. I played it. As a study. But the campaign went on 5 months, so it WAS a real game. Needless to say, I hated it. But I made some good friends through it and they roleplayed well so it ended up being good regardless. I felt bad because I let idiots touch magic items and they would die, get cursed, or worse.

180 followers · 755 posts · Server ttrpg-hangout.social@LeviKornelsen I really enjoy all sorts of convos about GM/Ref business, especially #hexcrawls and sandbox elements, tools, etc. Mechanically, I’m most likely to hop into #dnd, #odnd, #adnd, #osr, or #nsr talk as I’m most familiar with those systems. I’ve got #traveller and #pendragon on my to-play list so I definitely keep my eyes peeled for posts about those. General #worldbuilding is fun too. Always looking for topics and materials to highlight on my YouTube channel, #hexedpress.

597 followers · 2737 posts · Server dice.campDuring one of the last eps of Wandering DMs it was pointed out that in white box #odnd 8th level fighters (superheroes was the class title) had the ability to detect invisibility.
I never noticed that before, but I also never delved that deep into it.
I do actually like that idea though. It kinda fits with a lot of the fiction where high level warriors have an almost supernatural sense for hidden enemies.

167 followers · 401 posts · Server dice.campWhat are you opinions on the d20 dice itself. Do you find that it creates too large of a spread? Do you dislike how most games use the 1 and the 20 for critical failures and successes? Do you swap it out for 3d6 or something else?

I share four key resources that I think will help anyone who is trying to learn how to play along with the original three little brown books of Dungeons & Dragons as printed back in 1974. Plus, probably one of the most unusual call-ins from a fellow podcaster that you’ll hear!
