D&D History, DM Advice, & TTRPG Reviews

I've been playing tabletop RPGs since 1981 and reading comic books even longer. Here I'll talk about TTRPGs, Comics, Fantasy, Science-Fiction and other Geek Stuff, including product reviews, game history, and details on the 1981 Moldvay Basic ("B/X") Dungeons and Dragons game I'm running for my (currently) 13 YO daughter and her friends that I started for her when she was 11 during the pandemic lockdowns.

I really enjoy Mystara. It uses tropes to quickly convey the setting to players, so as GM you don't need a ton of player buy-in for something like Empire of the Petal Throne. When someone asks "what's X?" You can pretty easily say "It's kind of like Y." It's not TSR, or strictly for D&D, but any chance of doing something like this for Harn?

Wait...wait....there is a Castle Amber module? I am a huge fan of the Amber series! Can you dive into that at some time?
@daddyrolleda1
@daddyrolleda1 12 часов назад
Yes indeed! The short summary is that it's, in part, an adaptation of Clark Ashton Smith's Averoigne stories, and it's actually set in the fictional medieval French province of that name. There's a haunted mansion, interdimensional portals, a "slightly" demented family, and more. Moldvay drew not only on CAS, but also Edgar Allan Poe and Roger Zelazny. After this module, the Amber family became a main part of the Known World and they show up as one of the ruling families in Gazetteer 3: Principalities of Glantri (the principality is ruled over by a bunch of magic-using houses including two elf family factions, a family of medieval Scots [some undead!] from the same world as the Ambers, and a bunch of others). You can pick up a PDF and/or POD at DriveThruRPG here: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/17088/X2-Castle-Amber-Basic Goodman Games also put out one of their "Original Adventures Reincarnated" versions a while ago but those are going for a lot of money on the secondary market now that they've discontinued them.

There’s a pretty rough rule-of-thumb that I’ve come up with to figure out what OD&D content was authored by Gygax, and what was written by Arneson: Look at a rule in the LBBs. Compare that rule to what is published in 1e AD&D. If it made it over with little to no editing other than a slight expansion and/or clarification: it was most likely Gygax. If it was heavily edited, and the rules and numbers are all different: that was almost certainly Arneson. I remember reading a Grognardia post years ago where James was comparing some OD&D and Basic set rules to the AD&D counterparts. The AD&D ones were really different… and not in ways that made them more realistic. They seemed more complex, but less rooted in reality. (I believe the rules were all dealing with air and sea movement and combat, and perhaps domain construction and management.) He was baffled at the changes. I’m pretty sure that was an example of Gary changing Dave’s rules and figures in order to present the 1e rules as an entirely different game. It probably won’t hold for every single example… but in general, I’m pretty sure that is something you can look at and get a sense of where Dave’s major contributions were.

I always thought of Karmeikos as having a rather Slavic inspiration due to a few of the town names in later modules. Since it has some ties to the Byzantine analog, perhaps it was more of a Balkan & southern Slavic inspired place. Since the Balkans were often under the rule or influence of Byzantium in the medieval period and consisted of it's northern frontier.
@daddyrolleda1
@daddyrolleda1 День назад
Totally makes sense. Someone else pointed out the reason Karameikos sounds "Greek" is because its founder was formerly a duke of Thyatis and he basically just turned his territory into a self-governed Grand Duchy, so thematically it still fits the Thyatis Byzantine mold. But your comments on the Slavic/Balkan influences I think are spot-on. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Yes, for sure! It matches perfectly with something I said in another video, which is that when I referee a game I assume character "competence," meaning I don't make them roll for every single task they attempt. If it's reasonable and fits within the scope of something a person with their skills/class/background would have, then I usually just rule that it works unless there's a huge consequence for failure.

Karameikos sounds Greek because its founder, Stefan Karameikos, was a duke in Thyatis before switching his duchy for a Grand Duchy, naming it for himself. Karameikos would map better with Slavic kingdoms in the Balkans/Eastern Europe, with a heavy Byzantine influence on top, while the actual dynamics and society would likely be closer to England after the Norman Conquest: Thyatian (Norman) upper class/soldiery ruling over the native Traladarans (Anglo-Saxons). Thyatis moved more to the Imperial Rome in subsequent publications.

Thank you so much for this additional context and background! I really appreciate it, and now it all makes sense.

So I appreciate you sharing this. Cheers!

AH-HAH!!! I thought I had heard Imirrhos somewhere before! Revolt on Antares was released in 1981 and was designed by Tom Moldvay, probably at the same time as B/X D&D. It even includes a guest appearance from Black Dougal (who dies from a poison needle trap in the basic book, if I remember right). B/X promised us a third Companion set which if it was anything like the C set from BECMI would have included a mass combat system. I'm thinking that Moldvay did develop one but the Companion set was cancelled and the mass combat system was quickly re-skinned with a Sci-Fi trapping to make it a different game, which makes Revolt on Antares the missing B/X mass combat system. At the very least, this does make Antares the star which Mystara revolves around, which also adds a very strange and eerie element to the world seeing as Antares is a red super giant. The entire place should be bathed in red light.
@daddyrolleda1
@daddyrolleda1 День назад
Lots of really fun connections! Yes, Moldvay designed Revolt on Antares like I mentioned in the video, but I never had that game. I do recall it being advertised a lot! Since you mentioned the promised Companion Set for B/X D&D (instead of the one we got for BECMI), Steve Marsh (who worked with Dave Cook on the B/X Expert Rules) has a Facebook group in which he is sharing ideas for *his* version of the Companion Book, all these years later. Looks like it's going to be really fun! Thanks for watching and commenting!

The whole Basic D&D and Advanced D&D games being kept up and maintained over an extended period of time kind of smacks to me of Apple computer coming out with the Macintosh but maintaining the Apple II computer. I think nowadays, corporate-think would say to consolidate your resources and focus on just 1 of those products because your essentially cannibalizing your sales by having 2 similar but separate products, and neither product is getting the full attention it needs to maximize the quality and profit. Not saying I agree or disagree with that; just an observation.
@daddyrolleda1
@daddyrolleda1 День назад
Oh, for sure! I don't see any modern companies trying to do this. It's confusing, and it was even confusing back then for D&D/AD&D! There's a huge overlap but then there are significant differences, despite the names being nearly identical. And, why *wouldn't* someone assume that they should "start" with regular ("Basic") D&D and then move to Advanced? It was bad marketing and business decision making by TSR back then (at least, to me). However, the bonus that came from it is that I think the B/X-BECMI line ended up coming out with some of the most innovative and unique products at the time that wouldn't have seen the light of day had they been proposed for the AD&D line. What I've read is that the TSR "suits" kind of ignored the B/X-BECMI line, and that let the folks managing them games to make their own decisions and be more flexible with the content they released. Thanks for watching and commenting!
