I loved running a campaign with those books. I'd use them as I wanted and create a lot. I was there to flesh out my story with the players at the table. Sometimes a new branch would just form and it only made sense to follow it. We'd trade off DMn along the way and play all weekend. Good times were had by all

If you think "Tomb of Horrors" was bad, try "Isle of the Ape".

Love the Channel!

Did you narrate for GameTrailers?

❤️. I watched part one, and was amused at the fact that I own PHARO....... And then I watched part two, and my first module ever, was horror on the hill. I still have these modules. And I still have my 80's basic set w/the box!

Thats odd. As I recall it, from 1E and 2E, Fighters and Thiefs were the two most popular, with other options like Ranger being most desired, but less common due to restrictions. Magic-Users were generally avoided unless you started with a few levels. Cleric was nearly universally avoided. Personally, I thing reducing the 4E/5E Rogue's combat potentual is a great choice. Drop their HP back, reduce Snak attack a few d6 over 20 levels. In my opinion, alot of the Fighter underpower issues came from the Rogue. Less so with the Thief, though they had some contribution as well as you mentioned Thief Skills meant, (or imploed) others just couldn't do those things all of the sudden. But from 3E onwards, the Rogue just really started stepping on the Foghters toes, many times out tanking and out damaging them. Dex is far stronger than Str, so letting Rogues double and triple dip into maxing Dex benefits was a terrible idea. High AC, Attack, Damage, Initiative, Reflex/Dex Save. Add in Flankimg/Advantage instead of Backstab.

I live by a comic book store that sells one shots from some sort of retroclone. I find them super easy to translate to dnd 5e and it gives things a very cool classic flavor

It is creepy to think that the RPG genre is based on a pasttime of imperialism-age white guys like W.G. Wells, who created the tropes of the time machine and also of alien invasions. Like, it goes as far back as that. No wonder DnD and gaming are mostly alergic to pacifism.

Yo DM it all. If you can, please do a video about the history of Fred Funk, from what I understand he was a policeman who was an original tester of DnD, he would host these big games that were in the newspaper with his own crazy huge DnD world. This one guy called Jon’s DnD vlog used to have a super cool video about him, but he’s a weird conservative guy and said that the libs were coming for him and took it down (only exaggerating slightly). I am too busy making my own dnd world to make an informational essay about this guy but his tabletop work was insanely cool from what I’ve seen of it, I think he’s a homebrew hercules we ought to remember. Hopefully these leads have been good, thanks for reading!

I love using the maps in these old adventures in my games. The content needs some changing to be a little more fun but I like using them as a starting point.

You should play 3e, because it's just like 5e, except for adults.

Unearthed Arcana came out in 85, not 75

I had some of the old ad&d dungeon master books from 79, but sadly got stolen

All my friends, or most, and anyone who wasn't lame, were reading Dragonlance when I was in HS

the stuff worth skipping? ALL OF IT!

Did this have an audio cd?

"From my point of view, Lays Chips count as Air!!" "Well then you are lost!"

These two modules are amazing if you have a good DM and we played them with Verminaard and without him. Works just fine.

Dragonlance. The only campaign world we ever used since 1986. Tried Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms and so on and that was dreadful. AD&D and AD&D 2nd edition still used. Tried every edition of the game but the other editions are quite bad. The latest, 5th edition are the worst.

I still hate the monk.

*The epic feats argument was just wishful thinking from people who refused to believe that Gary Gygax was really this bad at his job. There, fixed it for ya ;P

Good Video, also first in 2k24!

Is it just me or is the Dragonlance setting eerily similar to Critical Role's 1st campaign?

Please come back

The genderswap actually had a purpose. Gygax made women statistically worse than men originally in DnD so by default you'd usually play a male character for the better stats. So being Genderswapped was a punishment via worse stats.

I loved these novels. Started out reading the Dragonlance series and shorts, but eventually ended up with Ravenloft and Forgotten Realms.

Elemental does have other definitions.

Rarely someone succeeds in striking my nostalgia chord. You nailed it...congrats! Great content !

Oh B.S.; poor gypsies.

The only thing worse than 5e mechanics is the 5e community. Even worse than the most toxic Star Wars "fans".

I remember our Advanced Dungeons and Dragons books having different covers than what you showed. Was there another early edition?

It all just sounds so...tedious. Honestly, I feel like if I had played this back in the day it would have turned me off RPGs more than anything. It's like he wanted the players to feel not like the heroes of the story but rather the side characters in a fantasy tale with all this impossible $hit happening around them but unable to do anything themselves.

Gygax was a weird guy, it's like he didn't want people to play his game...

Wow, the creators of early D&D adventures must have had pretty carefree lives to make something that's meant to be fun this unnecessarily difficult! :D

AD&D is my favorite I played it many times I had a blast.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.

Thank You...

Didn't the Thief have the fastest xp to level gain?

Thieves were the ones that fought the dungeon.

I think Thief-Acrobat was the worst. Probably because it seemed like such a fun class but was so underpowered

One thing about BECMI is the player book of the Basic set is the best intro tutorial to RPGs for new players that they can read and learn on their own.

Googling the mysterious Blake Mobely turns up an intriguing character indeed.

I've heard supposedly "The Tomb of Horrors" ISN'T the hardest D&D module. Supposedly, that actually is "The Isle of the Ape".

2ed will always be the only ed I play. Ran it for near 2 decades from the start, and have a trove of goodies, near complete except a few handbooks and modules. Any upgrades had zero appeal to me and players I knew, just KISS.

Fly, levitate, pass through solids, teleport, dimension door, etc. all don’t work for player characters.

Still wish the would remake the venca campaigns for 5e like lives reborn and did vecna die

Remember, Kender don't steal! They just happened to find your stuff for you, how lucky!

If you're going to make these awesome walkthroughs of D&D videogames... please make one of Planescape Torment! The absolute greatest PC game ever made. (Also, back to the modules, one of Faction War. Great story, but very railroady module!)

2nd ED hands down. if I wanted to play a TCG wannabe, I'd play 5th ED

A very convoluted plot, to say the least, but very delicious and can work with a bit of tweaking.

Instead of an exorbitantly expensive international school where English was the only language used, it was the weekends I spent with English speakers playing D & D that really helped me get through speaking the language. Not to mention it was a fantastic amount of fun!
