A rambling, probably too long, not to mention self-indulgent, look at playing the B/X Edition of D&D, particularly the Basic rule book.

"You don't START AS SPECIAL, you become potentially special as you go on". Awesome!! Becoming a hero when you slowly rise from barely nothing to something! That's a REAL story worth being a part of!!! Zero to hero (Hercules animated quote). That's why Old School is truly amazing!!

And "until we come up with something else", as far as race as class went... they did that in the Known World Gazeteers (Dwarves could actuality be Clerics, ect..). Loved it!

Exactly. Backstory? You don't need any such thing to play. Your backstory is the adventures you play.

I think the race as class and racial level limits helps keep the game human centric. If it's just as good to play an elf as it is a human and the elf has additional abilities or bonuses over the human then the elf becomes the overwhelming choice.

One of the best OSR videos ever. Well done. Running B/X in a couple of hours. 😎

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Awesome video. I ran the game in the 80s and have some fond memories. My friends who played it said they had more fun in that game then when they played later editions. It was because of the simplicity and randomness of the dungeon. I had their 5 senses in mind when i created the adventure. The smells, sights, sounds, touch and even taste of what the characters would experience.

@HexedPress 4 года назад

Thanks! The game has definitely changed over the years and, while I appreciate the modern game, for me, there’s something about that version that calls out to me and draws me back again and again.

@johncartwright3130 2 года назад

Yet another good episode even in spite of the sound issues. Also still looking forward to your Expert rule book read along.

@HexedPress 2 года назад

That's from WAY back at the beginning of the channel. The issues I have now are totally different than the ones I had back then! 😝

Awesome video on my favorite system. What are your thoughts on the 'slow' trait that two-weapon weapons are cursed with? And lastly can you do video showcasing the combat sequence?

Good informative video. Thanks.

What is the deal with people and the volume of the audio?? When a voice is clear, it doesn't have to be blaring out of the speaker at maximum volume. Case in point. 10/10 great upload. Also earlier I hadn't bothered to review your channel content. Wow definitely count me in I'll be a regular for sure. Thanks for helping me understand the older versions. I have been on the fence as for which edition to start with This one seems to be the most understandable. Although it's also the one that I don't have any physical copies of........ but what's a few more going to hurt. I have been a long time collector of the D&D and Pathfinder books with the intention on some day actually learning. The older I get it, seems more clear that letting them collect dust isn't really the way to go. I mean sure they look pretty and all but I don't think think that's what they were intended for.

Thanks for the kind words! b/x is available digitally on DTRPG: Basic: tinyurl.com/rqnxxjf Expert: tinyurl.com/reurqd5 (Full disclosure: these are affiliate links, hope you don’t mind!) So you can skip eBay and just grab some pdfs. I did just do a read-through of Old School Essentials which is a modern clone with a free version of their rules.

Having my phone volume all the way up and not being able to hear is a problem. I would rather turn the volume down to a level I am happy with than have mine all the way up and be frustrated because I can't hear.

@sunsin1592 4 года назад

Buy a microphone or something. Cannot hear anything even at max volume.

@HexedPress 4 года назад

That was one of the first videos that I made. Believe it or not, I had a mic! It was more about setting everything up. I’m not a pro at this now and I was definitely not one then. That said, this video is one of my most viewed and popular ones so folks must find ways to cope with it! I may revisit it at some point to update and correct the production values.

@shellbackbeau7021 2 года назад

I can't hear you with my volume at max

@HexedPress 2 года назад

Sorry about that! This is one of my early videos and it suffers for my lack of expertise. If you search the channel, you’ll find a more recent, relatively speaking, video on the basic book.

@shellbackbeau7021 2 года назад

@@HexedPress I've watched a few of your videos now, and this popped up in my feed, and I listen to you and/or bandits keep primarily while I'm driving, so I didn't check to see when you posted it. I don't look at the screen while driving, other than navi stuff, so your videos are good for driving!
