My son's 1st encounter with my OD&D group was pretty raucous! He's dressed in plate mail and helm, which he didn't take off, so the 'cheese grater' and 'do you need a straw to eat' jokes started and it just went on from there.

The sheer joy & chaos of OD&D is really a different vibe than my other D&D games. It's 2.5 hours of shenanigans and hijinks combined with "holy crap what is that?!?"

They did lure a rust monster *away* from the plated fighter so there's that...

It took 5 minutes to roll up my son's OD&D character for my Dungeon23 campaign (still going!) and another 5 min or so to get equipment sorted.

He's mostly played 5th edition (with brief forays into my AD&D/1e campaign) and he was pretty surprised!

What is the best in game reward for a session report by players?

We are playing a #WeatMarches campaign using #SwordsAndWizardry aka #ODnD ...

Any thoughts on the comparison of the fighter class between #odnd ( #swordandwizardry ) and basic #dnd / #bxdnd ( #OSE )?

The original version has class features / abilities the basic version lacks. Is the latter fighter hit die, weapon and armor proficiency and save only?

Wie sich meine Begegnungstabellen in unserer #WestMarches -Kampagne zusammensetzen, wie Spieler:innen mit ihren Spielfiguren unsere Spielwelt beeinflussen und was das mit dem Originalspiel #ODnD und #ADnD zu tun hat:

Die Begegnungstabellen

Das zentrale Thema einer West Marches-Kampagne ist die selbstbestimmte Erkundung einer weitestgehend unbekannten, Hexfeld-gerasterten Wildnis durch die Spielenden mittels ihrer Spielfiguren (SF).

First day of our #osr mini con #PinkPonyOfDeath - playtested my Liminal Horror module „Nachzehrer“, played in an #Adnd tournament module, and met many lovely people - among them some folks from the #Valravn open table which I met for the first time in-person While games of #Adnd #odnd and #Mothership continue, I’m heading to a nearby bar with some PPoD folks. Not enough time (!) to chat and play with everyone 🥲

As a DM, sometimes I watch the encounters I set in motion with a bit of foreboding, like "this could go badly..."

Watching 2 carrion crawlers almost take out a party with 4th level fighters and clerics... was a tense moment for everyone! Fortunately, the first level halfling fighter saved the day!

My carrion crawlers are like facehuggers, but with 8 tentacles, a maw plus legs and a 9 ft long body.

"Tucker's Kobolds" from 1987 is about giving weak #dnd monsters (honestly) excessive tricks including traps. It's a meme now, picked up on YouTube.

Looking through editions, there are zero references to kobolds using traps before it. #odnd just says they are weaker than goblins, basically the crappest humanoid. #adnd1e has them just fighting. #bxdnd says they "ambush". All before 1987. But #adnd2e (1989) has heavy reference to traps for them. TSR eating their own memes.
