Podcasts about house rules

Join Pastor Craig and listen to him lay down some hard house rules and talk about the widows of the church.

With help from the Lair community, we collected eight house rules for Shadowdark. On this episode, we run through them, offering our thoughts on how they might impact the game (most of these are not rules we've tried ourselves, so we'd love some more field reports!

Show Notes d8 Shadowdark House Rules 1. No Torch Alarms Details: SlyFlourish: ShadowDark House Rules “Players aren't allowed to use a timer to keep track of torches on their side. They can look at their watch or phone and note the time but they can't set a stopwatch or timer to keep track of torches for them. This limitation puts more responsibility on players to remember to deal with their torches before they go out.” Our Thoughts 2. One Hour Minus 1d12 on Torch Timers Details: SlyFlourish: ShadowDark House Rules “The GM subtracts 1d12 from the torch timer so no one is quite sure when it's going to go out. This alteration adds a little fun variance.” Our Thoughts Ken thinks … this certainly adds stress and anxiety for players And Dave thinks … a fun variant for for the GM. :)  David likes this one because humans are bad at estimating. We don't don't think you need this if you're doing #1 3. Add henchmen to mitigate TPKs Details: “After 4 TPKs in 8 sessions, our table adopted rules for henchmen. Make characters RAW. Players select 1 character each as their ‘main' to earn full XP. Henchmen earn 1 full share of treasure and 1/2 XP. A main can manage up to 4 henchmen plus/minus CHA modifier. Players tend to run a main + 3 henchies. Initiative is rolled only for main PCs, but the player may order their characters actions any way on their turn.” Provided by macoppy6571 Our thoughts We like idea of henchmen … is the share split amidst the henchmen? Or do each henchmen get their own XP? Definitely has the old school feel of old D&D hiring henchmen. 4. Constitution Score as Hit Points Details: “I give player HP equal to their con score at Level 1.” Provided by GM GI Joe Our thoughts Wow … that can be a lot of points! Eliminates a lot of the low level dread, BUT keeps the PCs alive. 5. 30 minute timers for torches. Details: “I play solo, so most of my rules are geared towards solo play. For torches, I set a 30 minute timer, and after 30 minutes there's a 50/50 chance it burns out. If it doesn't burn out, it can last up to 90 minutes.”  Provided by BradUtterstrom4105 Our thoughts: We like the push your luck aspect of this option. 6. Sneaky Triggers Details: “For thieves, I roll a stealth check to see if they can hide/sneak around to try to trigger their sneak attack.” Provided by BradUtterstrom4105 Our thoughts: We like how this introduces an option for making sure that sneak attacks are happening. 7. More Magic Missiles Details:

What's going on in Texas, where Democrats have walked out of the state legislature in an effort to thwart (or at least postpone) handing Donald Trump five more congressional seats in the 2026 midterms. Is it a crime? Does it break norms? And most importantly: will it work?

We open the episode with Brandon Pleshek—aka “Clean That Up”—who shares his go-to DIY vinegar-based cleaner, why it works, and where you should never use it. Then it’s onto the phones, starting with a call from California about whether vintage tile can (and should) be saved.Our weekly House Rules game delivers a quick hit of lawn care wisdom, while a listener from Brooklyn gets a hard truth about the perils of combined sewer systems.

Here's how to identify and control them.Flooding Solution (17:27):Combined storm/sewer systems can cause backups during heavy rain. Why a sump system or rerouting is essential in older cities.Lead Paint Safety (21:38):Use an over-the-counter swab test to check old paint for lead before scraping.
