18:42 "there's NEVER been a indexing that includes DMG, MM and PHB". Rules Cyclopedia says, "Hi! we did this with BECM"😂😂

Just want to caution. The softcover is THICK, but as a softcover that spine IS going to crack. Either get the hardcover, or get it printed out as spiral bound. You will thank me later.

OSRIC, the choice for smart DMs who realize D&D has been more about selling books since 2nd and not really about the real D&D. OSRIC is essentially the better organized version of 1st AD&D. All you get out of the 3 core books you can get still today, is a dose of nostalgia. So go ahead, download OSRIC and replace the cover with maybe the image of the original DMG. It might make you feel better.

Just saw your video, and I just wanted to ask if you could clarify something. I've seen a lot of comments on these hardback re-prints of 1st ed, and people are saying it has a lot of type o's and garbled sentences, likely a result of scanning and re-scanning the original material and not properly edited it after. Can you confirm this? Great vid, btw 🤘

I literally got Osric 1E for $56 in VG+ condition in Ebay auction last week after playing Basic Fantasy and White Box. I picked this up because I no longer have my original AD&D books, and theres no way I was paying the prices people want. Even for the reprint versions would cost @ $100+. That was my reason

Best example of what a Ranger should be is the Witcher.

I always crack up at old-timers pitching a fit about the idea of houseruling ADnD as if it's some sacred text. Don't pretend like people wasn't hacking it up back in the day!

Great video. I’m an old school DM just getting into this. If you get the books straight from Mongoose’s site it now comes with the PDF without a request.

I can't believe I just found this video!! I do a similar thing to your portable maps, but I use acetate sheets. I felt like a mad genius when I came up with that.

The Mongoose website says "Free PDF with every purchase".

Really wanna try Traveller, but finding the time to play is not easy.

Late to the party...Internet Archive has a PDF of the Player's Handbook you can down load.

I don't believe I agree with a single thing you said. Starting with the idea that 1st Ed. AD&D is the simplest version of the game. What about OD&D, B/X, BECMI? Those are all simpler versions of the game with even less of the complications that actually began with AD&D. Making your character unique and interesting in the OG versions was 100% a product of your own imagination. Heck, the game only defined 4 different classes so you had to be creative. Your dissertation on RPG vs RP can be summed up as a distinction without a difference. When you play any TTRPG, you are playing the role of a character. It's really that simple. Different people will put different levels of effort into role playing a character and this really has little do with "acting" although it has everything to do with improvisation, which you didn't mention. If a TTRPG has zero RP and it was simply a matter of the stats on a sheet of paper, then you're just playing a board game. Voices and expressions are purely a decision of the player, but getting into the mindset of your character, and not yourself, is key. What you seemed to focus on was more about how to create a memorable character. That's valid, but not what the video purports to do. So, since you didn't actually discuss many qualities that players should embrace to become "awesome", I decided to share my ideas with you. Of course this is somewhat subjective, but here's my list: Be prepared with all of your character's information. IOW, know and understand what's on your character's sheet without having to flip through books during the game. Play your character to his/her abilities, background and personality as described. Example: don't play your character as a gallant hero if his stats and background don't support it. Play the character as part of the party (or as an adversary if that's the case). Simply put, don't take up all the oxygen in the room. Be part of the team as your character would. Be prepared to embrace the outcome of the game, be it victory, defeat, disappointment, or even death. All aspects of the game are valid. You should treat them as such. It makes the game better when you do. A final note on your rant about players who grandstand during the game. Sure, that's something that occassionally happens, though its rare in my experience. That can easily be handled by the GM outside the game. If anything, I see far more players on the other end of the spectrum. When I see people doing this regularly, I'll consider it a legitimate concern, but as of now I don't worry about it at all.

The Barbarian has been around since od&d but was featured prominently in 1st edition’s Unearthed Arcana

There was a warlock in 3.5

Shifters were not new to 4e they were introduced in 3rd as part of the races in Eberron

So glad I still have original copies of all of these books.

Im really digging this series of videos! After watching the first Tamoachan video I dug my old copy out and have been following along in it. A couple of our regular D&D group arent available one or two weekends a month. The weekends they arent available ive been running one offs or short 2-3 session games for the rest of the gang. Ive been running RPGs they had heard about but hadn't played before like Call of Cthulhu and Little Black Book Traveller and since none of them have really played 1st ed I had been thinking about running one of the old AD&D tournament modules, like Tamoachan or one of the Slavers series to give them that late 70s-early 80s experience. Run it as a tourney game with scores, timed etc... Watching your Tamoachan videos has made me realize I can't really run that sort of game or at least if I did they wouldn't get very far and sure wouldn't get any enjoyment out of the game. I have a great group, they are all great friends and great gamers, have been playing since 2nd or 3rd edition but that 70s-80s style of play, particularly a tournament adventure is so different from modern play style I dont think they could or would make the adjustment. I still might run Tamoachan but definitely not a timed, scored adventure like I had originally planned. Anyway, thanks for putting these videos out, im looking forward to the next installment and looking forward to seeing which module your next tour will be.

I also like the maps. I've always loved the maps !! Imagine, instead of looking down on a paper or vtt map that is restricted to a screen or paper size, you could actually walk around IN the map at full size and scale..... I built all the same maps on my Minecraft server. They are fully detailed and much more interesting.

Not bad. You're on the right path with this but you just didn't go far enough. There is WAY more to this than most people suspect. Respectfully, it was a good video.

Thanks. These were very helpful.

It's an interesting system in how it fits all together.

Too long to watch whole thing but I didn't see anything mentioned abiut having to stay in good graces with your deity to retain your clerical powers and spells. That's a huge balancing factor by itself if the DM is smart.

Golarion started in 2007 with the country of Varisia. The rest of Golarion was made later and their dedication to it has been phenomenal!

The AD&D advice is great, the house rules not so much. “Spells are really powerful in AD&D” “Assume everyone (including magic users) have max hp. “ “Make all spells require 1 round to cast (except the ones that take turns)” In other words, take the system where the biggest flaw is how powerful magic users are compared to everyone else and make them even more powerful.

wotc will NEVER see another penny from me.

I am so happy I found your channel your content is so solid

YOU EFFING GENIUS! This is so basic and perfect and so adaptable and yet it’s the first time I see this! Ah im so happy ❤❤❤

The Neverwinter Campaign Guide quite frankly is one of the best campaign source books in my opinion. I wish 5e wrote source books like that - informative and concise. Check it out if you can find it :-)

The archway sequence is the poem found earlier and describes the colored circles in another room.

17:20 the game has LMGs, ACRs and differentiates them from things like HKs or the M16 family type of weapons. I liked the simplicity of the Traveller system, but it was limited in "granularity", and disliked the armor DM system.

I always play individual initiatives and they roll d10 plus / minus the modifies.

❤ Love a good house rule - I’m on a quest to collect every house rule on RUclips - do you have a playlist of yours? I scrubbed thru your videos to find as many as possible, but it’s easy to miss them when you’re looking thru nearly 200 videos - thank you very much 🙏🏿

“That’s longer than most Rush songs” 😄

Why would your intelligence contribute to your armor class? I can't wrap my mind around that and make it make sense. Because you're a smarter fighter and therefore instinctively mitigate risk in combat?

Erol Otus defines DnD art for me. I started plaing in 80, and his gonzo style was so cool. Easley and Elmore were great, but a little too high fantasy for me.

I cant keep up

Pdfs are fine if you are under 30 and used to reading from a screen. But considering the expected cost of 5th 2024, 90 bucks for pod hardcovers is not excessive. And as a player, you would only need the Player's for 30 bucks. But I should mention, 1st AD&D is in my belief, the best of the game all editions. If you want to go back to BECMI, Rules Cyclopedia is a single book at 30 bucks and looks great. But, you can get free pdfs with Basic Fantasy Role Playing Game. The truth is, there are several ideal clones of AD&D1st out there. OSE and OSRIC and Castles and Crusades being a few examples.

You have many interesting things to say. Would like to check out your book. Sincerely psw

Table top D&D , played at an advanced level as we do. I don't believe ( my opinion) that that any ai or computer simulated ground can ever be played to and with the degree of realism or offer anywhere near the choices, or rather in our format the PC has an open sand box available to them their options are only limited by their creativity and imagination, as long as it is within the rules.

To be fair, you've entered the Tomb of Horrors - you're already an idiot.

Pintar's maps are amazing!

Updating the Giants to 2nd edition certainly made a hard challenge harder!

When I ran the Frost Giant module, we had a PC Fighter who had the Power armour from Expedition to the Barrier Peaks..... until he met the Remorhaz! He lost the armour and NEVER played again!

I have read a LOT of Forgotten Realms books, BUT only adventure in Greyhawk!

Just completing my 1st and 2nd ed books, just waiting on the PHB, and UA from POD on DriveThru Still cannot get the World of Greyhawk as a POD, BUT can get the original one as a POD. MMII is now available as a POD!
