Old Men Rolling Dice 6: Michael Curtis, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks OMRD is a Dungeons and Dragons Podcast. Everyone is welcome at our table and nostalgia is what we do. Jeremy is joined by Michael Curtis of Goodman Games to discuss the classic TSR module Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. Follow us: Instagram OMRD: https://www.instagram.com/oldmenrollingdice/Facebook OMRD: https://www.facebook.com/oldmenrollingdice/ Sponsored by: Canadian Dice: https://canadiandice.ca/ Music Credits: Alexander Nakarada: https://www.patreon.com/anakarada/

The best of the first wave of TSR-produced D&D modules? Certainly the quirkiest! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. It's the one with the crashed spaceship full of aliens that, wouldn't you know it, look and act like classic D&D monsters! Even though this was published in 1980, it actually saw play as early as the summer of 1976 at conventions, so as outside the norm as Barrier Peaks may seem, it also shows how early silliness had come to be core to the D&D experience. We dig into that, scratch at the complex legacy of Gary Gygax and even talk a little bit about the spooky stuff that happened down by the railroad tracks when we were kids. Check it out! * * * Hang out with us on the Vintage RPG Discord! If you dig what we do, join us on the Vintage RPG Patreon for more roleplaying fun and surprises! Patrons keep us going!

If you don't want any of these thingies spoiled, tread carefully, dear adventurer. **Trigger Warning** We also talk about ‘The  Book of Vile Darkness” which is chock full of adult content of the R-rated variety.

A deeply troubling discovery in the Barrier Peaks about the Krimeah the "Valley" mage and the Blades of Corusk sets the party scrambling--and to their woe, once again turning to teleportation for a hasty exit. Dave: Gutboy Barrelhouse Mitch: Surian  Duck: Mainamisan Sylfir Jason: Rician Spiritforged the Merciless  DM: Petey

Deep within the Barrier Peaks, the dead speak and a fathomless ocean roils, both of which hold the answers that Surian and the party seek as they pursue the blade, Greenswaithe. BONUS Cabal content too! Dave: Gutboy Barrelhouse Mitch: Surian  Duck: Mainamisan Sylfir Jason: Rician Spiritforged the Merciless  DM: Petey

Can Greyhawk's favorite dysfunctional party locate the arcane sword of Greenswaithe without getting distracted by a sassy android nurse? (Which they have no idea really is an android, because this is Greyhawk after all.) You probably already know the answer, and that's exactly why you should tune in. Things start getting serious in Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. Dave: Gutboy Barrelhouse Mitch: Surian Duck: Mainamisan Sylfir Jason: Rician Spiritforged the Merciless DM: Petey

With their leads slowly dry up, will the party be able to find the laboratory in the Barrier Peaks?

Battling trees, strange contraptions, and other surprises, the heroes make their way into the Barrier Peaks.

With the discussion about pillars of Dungeons & Dragons wrapped up, the panel of DM's decides to look into WHY people play D&D as opposed to other games.  The first broad topic is determining what defines the fantasy genre, what it makes it so attractive, and what draws the hosts to this roleplaying game, specifically the Forgotten Realms setting.  As the conversation moves to the details of Forgotten Realms, the Dungeon Masters discuss what the most interesting pieces of the Forgotten Realms lore actually are, and what they find the most inspiring about them.  From nostalgia and inspiration to comparing the differences between gritty campaigns, high fantasy campaigns, and low fantasy campaigns, this episode covers a wide variety of topics and often goes completely off the rails! SUMMARY: There is a lot to unpack in the fantasy genre, D&D, and Forgotten Realms, and as Terry and Adam drill Dan on the specifics, they learn a few shocking details about Dan's improv poetry skills and his preference for vampire sex games. The Dungeon Masters touch on fantasy inspirations, including Star Wars, Conan the Barbarian, A Song of Ice and Fire, Dracula, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Magic the Gathering, Anne Rice novels, Lord of the Rings, Critical Role, World of Warcraft, Star Trek, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, The Dark Tower, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion Warhammer, Harry Potter, Grimm's Fairy Tales, Norse, Celtic, and Greek mythologies, Pathfinder, Scott Lynch novels, The Belgariad, Discworld, Piers Anthony books, The Dresden Files, D&D video games, R. A. Salvatore novels, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.  The conversation then moves on to D&D specifically, covering some books and campaign settings (Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, Storm King's Thunder, Tyranny of Dragons, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Tomb of Annihilation, Tales of the Yawning Portal, Death House and Curse of Strahd, Dark Sun, Greyhawk, Eberron, and Expedition to the Barrier Peaks), and then taking a look at the Forgotten Realms, specifically The Spellplague, the two Sunderings, Elminster, Drizzt Do'Urden, Mordenkainen and The Circle of Eight, Toril, Faerun, Evermeet, Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter, Undermountain, The Underdark, Netheril, Lolth, Mystra, Cyric, The Many Arrows Clan, The Lord's Alliance, the Elf/Drow conflict, Thay/Rashemen conflict, Szass Tam, Acererak, Vecna, The Regalia of Evil, The Star Stone, The Deck of Many Things, The Sunsword, Dragons, Mindflayers, and Halflings.
