A new video where I talk a little bit about house rules and why I feel they are important. You can check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVdo...

Another review is in for ITWBY! The only criticism regards the cover, which is something we planned on changing. I suppose this edition will become a collectible now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyQG...

One thing I can never resist is a good miniatures wargame. Last year at GaryCon.

Me on any social media platform. It's a bit like this.

My way of making RPG combat more speedy by removing initiative. If truth must be told, I played without initiative even when I was a kid. It's called Parallel Actions and I talk about here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Z-...

Q: How does one run an OSR/Classic RPG game with a lot of players in it? A: You use the DM tools that Griff will teach you in this video. You can run huge groups of players if you stick to the basics. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=epG6...

Thinking about Rob Kuntz's, Dark Realm. Today I was reading Italo Calvino's, Invisible Cities. I often pick up the book to re-read a passage for inspiration. This passage made me think of the Dark Realm. You can find Rob's module on our site: tfott.com

Behind the Scenes We turned the office meeting room into a TV studio again. Recording was successful, but I felt a bit manic - I somehow managed to drink about 12 shots of Espresso yesterday. What can I say, I like coffee -A lot! If I seem a bit amplified in the next 2 shows it's because I am.

I'm so tired of people equating make believe with reality. It's the same as the people who say video games will turn you into a homicidal maniac - do you know how many rounds I've fired in first person shooters? Sorry, play is essential to a healthy life.

I keep seeing the big Youtubers freaking out over views. Thus I thought to myself, NOW IS THE TIME! Yup, I launched my new show about Classic RPGs. Here is my little welcome greeting video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqCX...

Home Brew and Home Rule are the Official Rules according to Dave Arneson. Excerpt from The Lost Dungeons of Tonisborg.

I made this one a while back. Call me names if you must, but I feel the words in the 1974 edition about a game played with Paper, Pencils, and Dice, still means something today. I have zero interest in anything WOTC makes. RPGs are a social event even if played on Zoom.

For those of you who actually use your brain to apply critical thought to your actions I have this discussion with Rob Kuntz. Rob was there when D&D was created and is the last living designer from the era. You may want to listen to him and what he says. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsUI...

Due to the international nature of the participants this show needs to go live in the afternoon tomorrow. Rob is on French time, and I am on Mountain time. No one is really sure what time zone Dunder Moosia is located in. www.youtube.com/live/FsUIFUR...

Having finished ranting about how un imaginative and shallow WOTC is. I have decide to return to my searches about various myths. weirditaly.com/2022/06/19/d...

Once again WOTC tries to do the right thing, yet, being a big mindless corporation run by a bunch of uncreative 9 to 5'ers they fail miserably. The new monster manual destroys our collective culture and dumbs down D&D. It makes me sad. www.secretsofblackmoor.com/blog/the-gre...

Does it qualify as "You meet up at the Inn before going on an adventure."

Blackmoor used many unique elements from character traits to a persistent campaign world. These are only two sheets provided by David Megarry for his PC, H.W. Dumbo. There are a lot more of these highly informative papers in his collection. It is difficult to date these sheets.

Who's got game next weekend? Me, that's who. So excited about the upcoming eve friends, food, and fun. I am enjoying taking a break from being the DM too. On the books is a continuation of our traveller adventure. What's on your schedule?

Since I am on a new platform I must play the game of social media follower gathering. Am I being a bit too blatant if I post an unsolicited cock pic?

I follow Rob Kuntz on that other site. I always enjoy what he posts about RPGs.

I am once again loading my chances for going to hell due to my bad sense of humor. Yes, I laughed.

"We refer to the OSR as: Oh Shit - Run!" Tenkar 😅😂🤣 Tenkar has an interesting observation about the differences between 2014 and 2024 art. What he calls first person vs. 3rd person I call outside frame vs inside frame composition - film term. What do you think? www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSKn...
