New day, new video! In this video I flip to page 25 and talk about alignment changes, and what happens to your character by the book. Of course a lot of what is said here is based on my opinion and how I handle things in my games for the past 30 years. Alignment can be a touchy subject that can be debated for hours among gamers. Well here is my thoughts on this. ►Helpful Links◄ (These are affiliated links, each click supports my shows) ◘ Player's Handbook Premium edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17003/Players-Handbook-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Dungeon Master's Guide Premium Edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17004/Dungeon-Masters-Guide-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Monster Manual Premium Edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17002/Monster-Manual-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Unearthed Arcana Premium Edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/170096/Unearthed-Arcana-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Monster Manual 2 - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17005/Monster-Manual-II-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Fiend Folio - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/50012/Fiend-Folio-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Forgotten Realms - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/16782/Forgotten-Realms-Campaign-Set-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ World of Greyhawk - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17439/The-World-of-Greyhawk-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Dungeon Master's Design Kit - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17023/Dungeon-Masters-Design-Kit-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Roll For Initiative Podcast (audio only) - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/roll-for-initiative/id343894450?mt=2 ►Follow me!◄ Thank you for checking out my channel.

Hey Folks! In this week's episode I decide to show you my quick and dirty combat for AD&D 1e. This is how I maintain a quick, smooth and fast combat for my game. I go over the steps with some examples when using minis, along with some ways to explore how to handle combat. Each person has their own way to run combat, some run straight by the book, others modify it to their liking. Here is my method. 1. Minis are placed, or setup/described theater of the mind. 2. Actions are decided for players. 3. D6 side initiative is rolled, lowest roll side goes first. 4. Spells go off (unless delayed) 5. Missile weapons go off 6. Melee and Movement (handled together) 7. Losing side goes turn 8. Roll Side Initiative again ►Helpful Links◄ (These are affiliated links, each click supports my shows) ◘ Player's Handbook Premium edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17003/Players-Handbook-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Dungeon Master's Guide Premium Edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17004/Dungeon-Masters-Guide-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Monster Manual Premium Edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17002/Monster-Manual-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Unearthed Arcana Premium Edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/170096/Unearthed-Arcana-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Monster Manual 2 - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17005/Monster-Manual-II-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Fiend Folio - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/50012/Fiend-Folio-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Forgotten Realms - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/16782/Forgotten-Realms-Campaign-Set-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ World of Greyhawk - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17439/The-World-of-Greyhawk-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Dungeon Master's Design Kit - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17023/Dungeon-Masters-Design-Kit-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Roll For Initiative Podcast (audio only) - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/roll-for-initiative/id343894450?mt=2 ►Follow me!◄ Thank you for checking out my channel.

This week I pulled out an email from the old email bin, and answered a question from Tom. He is asking about making a magic-user a little more fun for this players, so they don't get bored playing them.

Of course a lot of what is said here is based on my opinion and how I handle things in my games for the past 30 years. ►Helpful Links◄ (These are affiliated links, each click supports my shows) ◘ Player's Handbook Premium edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17003/Players-Handbook-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Dungeon Master's Guide Premium Edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17004/Dungeon-Masters-Guide-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Monster Manual Premium Edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17002/Monster-Manual-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Unearthed Arcana Premium Edition - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/170096/Unearthed-Arcana-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Monster Manual 2 - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17005/Monster-Manual-II-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Fiend Folio - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/50012/Fiend-Folio-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Forgotten Realms - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/16782/Forgotten-Realms-Campaign-Set-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ World of Greyhawk - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17439/The-World-of-Greyhawk-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Dungeon Master's Design Kit - https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17023/Dungeon-Masters-Design-Kit-1e?affiliate_id=421647 ◘ Roll For Initiative Podcast (audio only) - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/roll-for-initiative/id343894450?mt=2 ►Follow me!◄ Thank you for checking out my channel.

In this third video I go over building a Thief, and how his skills work, giving advice on how those numbers are just situational and can go up or down depending on what's happening at the moment. While a DM can be very strict and keep pure to the numbers, a more relaxed DM will see things aren't always black and white, there is shades of grey in the world. These shades of grey will make those numbers go up and down.

Welcome to a new show on my channel called Idols & Efreeti as I sit back and talk about Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1e. In this episode I go over in detail how to create a character, page by page, book by book. I go over some decisions to consider as well when making up a character. As always, not everyone plays the same way, and everyone has their own style when playing. If you don't like the way I do something change it! Make it your own!

Our debut episode! Hosts Stu Horvath and John McGuire introduce themselves, the Vintage RPG Instagram and the podcast that grew out of it (00:17). Discussion turns to what we've been playing. Stu talks about his mixed reaction to Star Wars Rebellion (00:48) and John reveals his love for Golden Girls Clue (03:33). The main discussion starts (07:16) with the reasons Stu started the Vintage RPG Instagram feed and turns towards Monster Manual II for first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (08:50), early D&D artists (10:26), Fiend Folio (13:27), Russ Nicholson (16:23), the Satanic Panic (17:20), Deities & Demigods (18:14) and collecting (19:25), before they pick our favorite monsters from MMII (22:20). The guys then turn to what their excited about. Stu delights in his very specific passion for custom board game organizer (26:23) and John looks forward to the fabled day when the Big Trouble in Little China board game he pre-ordered last year finally arrives (29:12). The guys bid your farewell until next time (32:54). * Correction: On the matter of Golden Girls Clue – John confused the rattan chair player token with the room called the lanai (basically, a porch).
Poul Anderson’s Three Hearts and Three Lions was originally serialized in 1953 in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction--eight years later a revised and expanded version of the tale would see print in hardcover from Doubleday, followed by an Avon paperback in 1962. It has remained sporadically in print ever since, largely overshadowed by Anderson’s more famous science fiction works. Although Anderson was best known during the first half of his writing career as a science fiction author, Three Hearts and Three Lions and his following fantasy work The Broken Sword (1954) had a strong impact on knowledgeable fans and fellow writers, perhaps most clearly with Michael Moorcock’s adoption and reinterpretation of the cosmic struggle between Law and Chaos in the Elric of Melniboné stories, which began appearing in 1961. It’s interesting to speculate how much of himself Anderson put into Holger Carlsen, the hero of Three Hearts and Three Lions--they are both Danish-Americans, trained in science and engineering, and apparently wholly rational and pragmatic. Holger rises to adventure though, rediscovering and embracing his true identity as Ogier the Dane, paladin of Charlemagne and one the great heroes of medieval European literature. In a similar vein, perhaps Anderson’s romantic side led him to become a founding member of both the Society for Creative Anachronism and the Swordsmen and Sorceror's Guild of America. Throughout its publishing history Three Hearts and Three Lions never had an iconic cover, and the Appendix N-era 1978 Berkley Medallion paperback is no exception, featuring a serviceable cover by Wayne Barlowe, who would later become more well-known for his anatomically realistic depictions of fantastic creatures and truly alien life. That Three Hearts and Three Lions is one of the most significant influences on early Dungeons & Dragons is undeniable. For example, Gary Gygax specifically cites the book in the listing for the “True Troll” in the “Fantasy Supplement” to Chainmail (1971), although a full description of the Andersonian troll (and the nixie) would have to wait for the original Dungeons & Dragons (1974) box set. The original 1974 rules would also feature the most famous borrowing from Three Hearts and Three Lions, the Law vs. Chaos alignment system, although perhaps filtered through Michael Moorcock’s interpretation in the Elric books. Certain Lawful fighters could elect to achieve Holger Carlsen-esque paladin status with the publication of the first D&D supplement, Greyhawk (1975). Paladins would evolve into their quintessential D&D form as a fighter sub-class in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Players Handbook (1978) The troll and the nixie would receive much more detailed write-ups in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual (1977), with the Swanmay finally making her first D&D appearance in the Monster Manual II (1983). A close reading of Three Hearts and Three Lions and the various early Dungeons & Dragons would undoubtedly reveal more direct influences on the game as we know it today.
