5 Tips for Staying In-Character

In our first episode of 2021 myself and Hannah are looking at five simple tips you can use to encourage people to stay in-character during your games.

In the Pines

In this episode I’m having a quick flick through the Micro-adventure In the Pines that Tim Shorts of Gothridge Manor was kind enough to send us a copy of.

Fate, where art thou?

This episode was spurred on by a comment from Ty Prunty on my Facebook account, asking why I don’t talk about Fate so much anymore?

Sentient Swords

In this episode we’re delving into the idea of sentient swords and other items as featured in Old-school Essentials.

The Sons of Kyuss

Wriggling out of their graves eager to spread death and despair the Sons of Kyuss are a particularly unpleasant, infectious type of undead.

Skeleton Warriors

In this episode we discuss another monster from the classic Fiend Folio, this time it’s the turn of the relentlessly obsessive Skeleton Warrior.

Wishes

In this episode we discuss how you can use that most powerful of all magics, wishes, in your D&D game.

Needleman

In this episode we’re delving into the Needleman from the 1E AD&D Fiend Folio, looking at how it’s changed over the years and discussing some ways you could use it in your game.

Mephits

In this Friend or Foe Friday episode we’re continuing our exploration of monsters originating in the 1E AD&D Fiend Folio, comparing and contrasting Mephits from various editions and talking about potential ways you could use them in your games.

Looking through the pre-release PDF of the OSE Advanced Fantasy Referee’s Tome

I backed the Old School Essentials Advanced Fantasy Kickstarter by Necrotic Gnome and Exalted Funeral, Gavin Norman the author was kind enough to send pre-release PDFs to the people who back the Kickstarter. In this episode I’m looking through the second of the two compiled rules tomes available on the Kickstarter.
