Transcript For this final episode of the Dice Exploder D&D miniseries, I wanted to go back to the source, to my first experiences playing the game. And I figured who better to do that with than someone else who was there, my first DM, my very own father. We get plenty nostalgic for back when I was 8 years old, but I also made him talk to me about THAC0, early D&D's needlessly opaque and complicated version of an attack bonus. I made him do this because I think of THAC0 as so representative of how D&D's rules have worked for me over the years, and because my dad has never given a crap about any of those rules. When we played, he barely even read the rulebooks. So how did we still end up playing D&D? What were we even doing? Further Reading Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, second edition Dice Exploder on Theorize from Brindlewood Bay, and the pros and cons of a fixed world vs one you're making up together at the table. E.T.

TTRPGs often have their own lexicon of terms we need to learn to engage with the game, with terms like "THAC0" and "Benny" to describe the mechanics. The in-game world can often have unique terms as well, with "Netrunners sporting some preem chrome" instead of "Hackers with excellent cyberware" This week, Sara & Rob discuss the unique lingo tossed around at the table, and how to use it to make games more immersive, while still being accessible.

-- Description -- Ghouls - the iconic paralyzers and low-level party enders: capable of wrecking shop even on a mid level party! Or... are they? I revisit the rules as worded and cross reference them to concepts in Chainmail, revealing that in 0e, at least - Ghouls might not have been as powerful as they would, in later editions, become. Then, some call-ins regarding adversarial play (among which is a great example of adversarial play from Daniel over at Bandit's Keep) and a concept (new, to me) of treating traps like monsters - at least where THAC0 is concerned.

Some decry AI as the worst thing to come to RPGs since THAC0.  However, I'd like DMs and players to acknowledge the problems associated with AI use but also consider using AI as a tool to augment our games to make us better DMs and better players.   #dmtips #dnd #Pathfinder #ArtificialIntelligence #rpgtips Resources: How to use AI as a Dungeon Master by Annabelle Collins:  https://www.modularrealms.com/en-us/blogs/news/dungeon-master-tools-how-can-ai-help-me-dm https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2023/05/we-played-dd-with-a-chat-gpt-dungeon-master-can-ai-really-run-your-campaign.html Positive Experiences with an AI DM https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/zpepxi/i_played_dnd_with_an_ai_robot_and_it_was_amazing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3   Cros.land generators:  https://cros.land/ai-rpg-location-generator/ https://bard.google.com   Game Master's Book of Random Encounters:  https://a.co/d/4BtkOYL Bloomberg Article on AI face generation:  https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-generative-ai-bias/

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on 1991's Eye of the Beholder. We talk about using what you've got, contrast it with non grid-based games like Underworld, and other topics. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Thru level 4 (Tim), level 2 (Brett) Issues covered: Discord Game Club, getting deeper in the levels, paranoia about missing items or XP, being lost in the spinner maze, avoiding the spinners via runes, the compass flipping, leaving a clear landmark, feeling the need for the hint guide, having fewer games, older D&D puzzles, what concepts did designers use and discover level design in the process, fast traveling to the exit, systemic doors, how to give information to the player, distillation, focus, using a button in a different way, levels having multiple heights, logistically making the space work and having a rail, D&D mage lair fun, needing a little more from spatial understanding, having trouble with landmarks, using what you have for gameplay design, making opportunities out of constraints, finding your way through with a DM, advancing to more systems, how big is your flowchart, THAC0, what you choose to represent, story vs crunchy combat, giving you more options, Tim's spider problem, speedrunning to the potions, how much one saves, the lack of fun in poison and food. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Artimage, Mark Garcia, Ultima (series), Bard's Tale, Double Fine, Psychonauts 2, Dark Souls, Breath of the Wild, SuperGiant, Bastion, Transistor, Hades, Rogue, Adventure, The Elder Scrolls (series), Diablo, World of Warcraft, Wizardry (series), Baldur's Gate (series), James Ohlen, Chrono Trigger, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers.

For as much as I love role playing games, and some later entries into the CRPG genre, I had never played the original Baldur's Gate, by BioWare....until now. This game largely holds up, despite being made with an antiquated Dungeons and Dragons ruleset, but my issues with the game were a bit more basic than deciphering THAC0 like I expected.

This week we discuss everything Armor Class. From how to calculate the old THAC0 to the bounded accuracy of 5E's system. We dive into the spells, feats, and races that can boost AC. And we take cover and dodge around to find more ways to keep from getting hit -- we even come up with a way to boost AC to 30, if only for 6 seconds. Stick around to the end for the actual maths on which class will give you the best AC.

Them Sweet Boys get whacko for THAC0 when they travel to the Sword Coast in this very of its time CRPG. We discuss our relationship with CRPGs, Dungeons and Dragons, and of course this very foundational title from Bioware. While this game didn't grab us like we'd hope it would, it is still an interesting game to talk about.

Episode 58 Tuesday October 19, 2021 Call ins & Emails from the Outlands 1.) Call-ins & Emails 2.) Truth, Justice and … eh whatever: https://variety.com/2021/film/news/superman-new-motto-dc-fandome-1235090712/ 3.) Contest of Champions #2- how goes it? 4.) THAC0 the clown Main Topic: It's Time to Level Up! “definition”: To "level" or "level up" means to gain enough XP to reach the next level. Character Improvement/Advancement What should “leveling up” mean practically? Is it necessary? What should it look like going from level 1 to level 2, or Novice to Seasoned? Should there be a cap on advancement? Pacing and Types of Advancement Should you level in big chunks, small bits or incrementally and steady? Should you use XP Charts such as classic DnD? Incremental advances? Milestones: DM caveat/fiat or when the story requires/allows it? When your PC uses their skills? Fail Example- Dungeon World: https://a-dungeon-world.fandom.com/wiki/Leveling Success Example: Call of Cthulhu GAMES with No Advancement I would assume most TRAD games use some sort of advancement, but would games with no advancement be any fun/interest? Elysium Connection: what about the small band of levels…6-10? Like it Love it or Leave it Playing in the Mud: wherein we discuss our progress and experiments with the OSR and our quest for a better DnD game- Mudsword the RPG We played on Saturday…2ndlevel. Tested Saving throws (used ability mods). Joe's PC failed a poison save (slow death…worked out narratively a way to save him). Not sure how I feel about it.

Dungeons & Dragons. What are the differences between versions? Is newer better? What's it like to play a character from AD&D to 5e? The GMs are going to find out! Welcome to Session Zero! In this episode, we talk the evolution of the world's most popular rpg, and what some differences are between versions during its 46 year history. Each of our hosts will take the others (and a guest) through 4 sessions, where we'll play the same characters through the 4 major iterations of Dungeons & Dragons. Then we'll report in with our thoughts and experiences with each version. And in the end, it's a battle royale where we'll decide if 5e really is the greatest D&D of all time, if newer really is better, and if 4th Edition really deserves the shade thrown its way. Plus, we get to wrestle THAC0 (to hit armor class zero) from the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons years, and see if the complexity of 3rd Edition is a good or bad thing. Plus, Andrew gives us an aside into patents and copyrights, the fashion industry, Disney, and why that can stifle creativity. Yes, seriously.

Call the show with your Tips, Questions, or Comments: 1 (661) 368-5306In this episode I cover the exciting world of Fudge Damage Factors, all the things that can affect them, and how to use them most effectively. This seems to be a very elusive part of the game for many people, and like THAC0 before it, I think its largely down to poor explanation. Its just a simple way to add up all the different weapon/gear/gift/fault/scale factors that can affect damage, and pre-calculating them to speed up play. Also I bring up the idea of getting a new Fudge Zine up and going. If there is enough community interest I might be able to wedge such a thing in. Maybe done through the Patreon account somehow.

HAPPY FALL! The S.S. Roller Derby is settin' sail a little early this month, because we're just THAT excited to share the new episode with you all. Plus! We found ourselves a proper recording studio, so things are sounding a lot better aboard this ship, if we do say so ourselves. Join us for an exciting romp through Zebra Land as we interview Uno Mas and Thac0, both longstanding members of Madison's own United Derby Officials Local 608 (UDO), as we chat about all things ref and officials and Why UDO Is So Great/how you too can build a stronger, awesomer officiating crew. Hammer and Allie also give you an EXCLUSIVE on the big names slated to appear/coach/captain at Summer Affair 2018 in Cleveland, Ohio (right around the 44:45 mark, if you're impatient and need to know RIGHT NOW). Will we see you there? We're also pleased as punch to bring you the first musical feature of the show, as we share a song by the Sex Wings - all Minnesota Roller Derby folk. You can listen to more of their music here. Many thanks to Bully Jean for submitting the song - and remember, if you have a musical project of any sort, are involved in derby, and would like us to feature you on a future episode, drop us a line at ssderbypodcast@gmail.com!

Remember THAC0? What a Thac0 crap. In this episode we're going to recap the history of Armor Class and Attack Bonuses from 1st Edition of D&D through 5th edition. We'll start by scratching our heads at the earliest mechanics for determining whether a weapon connected with the enemy. Once we're done with that, we'll try to explain THAC0 to each other. Then we'll review how Armor Class and THAC0 evolved into the d20 system. A system that has become the core to D&D since the year 2000. All in all, D&D has come quite a long way and I am very grateful for the progress. Because I do not want to deal with 8 different charts just to hit an orc with a sword.

A body was found in the basement of Open Page Comics, and an ominous sign carved into it's chest, "THAC0". The agents set up an interesting sting operating utilizing a complex market strategy for the store in an effort to find more information about the goings on in Middletown Ohio. Patreon

TOTALLY EXTREME!  We get around to explaining the concept of hitting Armor Class 0, which was noticeably missing from our recent review of AD&D 2nd Edition.  So we handle it, […]

There has been another creative team change on Batgirl, by all reports due to editorial edict. So Amanda and I talk not only about the proposed new direction for the character, but we about the increasing influence over story and tone that editorial seems to have been gaining over creative teams as opposed to the […]

Episode 12, wherein our hosts get in touch with their feminine sides ... using harsh words and sharp objects. Summer movie season takes a backseat this episode as center stage is handed to blockbuster stars of movies past. That's good, though. Too much is made of immediacy these days. No one stops to think about the great films of bygone years. Like next month's episode, when we debate whether or not Citizen Kane could take Charlie Chaplin's Tramp in a fight. What? We're not doing that? But we spent so much time figuring out the THAC0 for Rosebud! Well, since we're not doing that, how about an actual fight? The Bride aka Beatrix Kiddo (2004 called - spoiler alert!) is a one-woman army of sheer bloody vengeance. With a mastery of several styles of martial arts and a samurai sword without peer, she's pretty much the gold standard as far as assassins go. And with that yellow jumpsuit, she's also unmatched in her sense of style. Katniss Everdeen, the teenage protagonist of the Hunger Games trilogy, is cut from a different cloth. She wins her battles with an iron will, a knack for survival and a trusty bow and arrow. She's incredibly difficult to find, let alone kill, like a cockroach Robin Hood. Incidentally, if you know how to kill one of those, call Pyg. He'll appreciate it. Peat represents the Bride in this fight, which is astonishing since he only just watched the Kill Bill movies two weeks ago. He was busy rewatching Austin Powers, if you must know. Pyg, who has recently come out as a 14 year girl, has read all of the Hunger Games books and is armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of Panem and Tracker Jackers and Narnia and Quidditch. Those are all in the Hunger Games, right? One thing is for certain - that nothing will be certain in this fight! Yeah, that was a bad cliche, we know. Plenty more where that came from!
