Alignment languages are often brought up as slightly strange, awkward vestigial bits from the oldest versions of D&D. Well, in my last gaming session, I brought it out of mothballs and deployed it as a campaign tool. I brought this up in my last recap but I thought it was worth discussing on its own merits (or lack thereof!). Have you used alignment languages in your game?

I'm tired of the fudging vs non-fudging game master arguments. They lack a voice that should be the most important voice in the discussion: the voice of the players. Well, I don't want to hear anymore thoughts from DMs on the matter. I want to hear about players. If you play in a game with fudging, tell me about it. If you play in a game without fudging (as far as you know), I'd like to hear from you as well. How do you feel about it? Do you want to play in a game with fudging, open or otherwise?

Game masters often ask how to get players to be a certain way, whether it be better roleplayers (whatever that means), or more invested in the "story", or more inquisitive, or something else.

Let's discuss worldbuilding via our magic systems. As described in an RPG, magic can be very setting specific or generic. Even if generic, how the magic system works and how spells are described implies things about the setting.

Hail and well met, fellow game masters! Get ready for a great time! Here is the extended cut of my conversation with Daniel from the Bandit's Keep channel! We talk about the ins and outs, the whys and wherefores, of using treasure maps in your OSR game (or Dungeons & Dragons or any TTRPG game for that matter). We cover a lot of ground so strap in, grab a beverage, and listen in.* Visit Bandit's Keep: https://www.youtube.com/c/banditskeepHelp the Pod by Using These Links:* Hexed Press on YouTube: https://hxpr.to/tube* Become a Patron of my Patreon: http://hxpr.to/patreon* Buy me a coffee on ko-fi: http://hxpr.to/kofi* "Bent Worlds" Newsletter: https://hxpr.to/mrju0c
Hail and well-met, fellow gamemasters! It's been a minute since I've posted a hexcrawl video so I thought it was as good a time as any to get back in the swing of things with a couple of tips and tricks that I hope may help you have more fun with your hexes.Addendum:I got a couple of comments and questions on the original Fun with Hexes video that I thought I could address quick and dirty style. Got more questions? Shoot them to me wherever you find me!* Hexed Press on YouTube: https://hxpr.to/tube* Become a Patron of my Patreon: http://hxpr.to/patreon* Buy me a coffee on ko-fi: http://hxpr.to/kofi* "Bent Worlds" Newsletter: https://hxpr.to/mrju0c
I think Creature as Class (aka Race as Class) is an often misunderstood and underappreciated concept in OSR D&D. I make my case for why you should consider using Creature as Class in your campaign.* Hexed Press on YouTube: https://hxpr.to/tube* Become a Patron of my Patreon: http://hxpr.to/patreon* Buy me a coffee on ko-fi: http://hxpr.to/kofi* "Bent Worlds" Newsletter: https://hxpr.to/mrju0c
Reading 1983's Companion level module, "Test of the Warlords," by Douglas Niles and published by TSR. Is this the first self-styled campaign module from TSR?Show Notes:* "Test of the Warlords" on DTRPG: https://hxpr.to/fl9impLinks & How to Support the Pod:* Hexed Press on YouTube: https://hxpr.to/tube* Become a Patron of my Patreon: http://hxpr.to/patreon* Buy me a coffee on ko-fi: http://hxpr.to/kofi* "Bent Worlds" Newsletter: https://hxpr.to/mrju0c
I would gladly take as my life's accomplishment to show dungeon masters the enduring utility and usefulness of random encounters. Inspired, as usual, by social media, I try to explain and educate on how to succeed using random encounters in your D&D, OSR, or similar TTRPG campaign.* Hexed Press on YouTube: https://hxpr.to/tube* Become a Patron of my Patreon: http://hxpr.to/patreon* Buy me a coffee on ko-fi: http://hxpr.to/kofi* "Bent Worlds" Newsletter: https://hxpr.to/mrju0c

I picked up Wizards of the Coast's Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons supplement, "Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft," over the weekend. Having given it an initial read, I think it might be my favorite 5E supplement. Why? It provides conceptual, mostly system agnostic tools, for creating and developing horror settings, such as Ravenloft, that I think can be leveraged as a powerful general tool for thinking about and implementing BBEGs, whether you're running 5E, OSR, or a different system altogether.* Hexed Press on YouTube: https://hxpr.to/tube* Become a Patron of my Patreon: http://hxpr.to/patreon* Buy me a coffee on ko-fi: http://hxpr.to/kofi* "Bent Worlds" Newsletter: https://hxpr.to/mrju0c
