This week in the Castle of the Quest I answer some OD&D Alternative Combat System questions and provide an example of combat in my solo D&D actual play campaign. ► Read my blog: solodungeoncrawler.blogspot.com
Your postings capture the essence of the game, that which is missing from the majority of other channels devoted to TTRPGs. Well done! Would love to explore Blackmoor with you as the DM!
Thanks so much for answering my question and for your kind words. That makes total sense to me. When I run using the alternate combat system, I will give this a try. Great content as usual!
Poor Thraina. She didn't last for very long. The deadliness of older D&D never fails to deliver. Great video with good insight into how the game can be run.
Insta-like! This is a great series so far: description of the thought process/mechanics, the aesthetics, music tempo. Perfect. Mentioning YT channels, 'Experimental Gameology' is another decent Chainmail/OD&D resource.
You are an indispensable resource when it comes to these forgotten modes of play! Thanks so much for your insight on how to use Chainmail with OD&D. I particularly like how forward you are with what is your own interpretation. If someone ever recompiled these rules sans all the Gygaxian language, I'd love them forever.
YES! I agree that all classes in OD&D, not just fighters, have the ability you mention. And thank you for answering my question about the man-to-man table. Keep up the great work!
I really enjoy LBB with thr Man 2 Man system. That and the ease of mass combat allowed me to get the cinematic dueling feel along with amazing miniature based faction play/mass combat. Nothing like droppingbterrain on a table and watching orcs throw themselves at the walls of a Fort I jave some great video of mass combat with kiddos. Chainmail coupled with xsolo 1 is alot of fun as well. Lathans Gold is a great module :) Thanks a ton for sharing your procedures.
Hello :) I really like these kinds of videos. Very interesting. Can I take inspiration from your little character sheets to create some for the system I'm trying at the moment (Hârnmaster)?
hi, love your videos and what your doing. I go have a question, I always wonder how Old DND games handled lights going out. Like if the adventures light source gos do the adventures get lost easy? dose it make combat harder? what are the rules for lights when dungeon crawling in a old DND game?
