Psionics used to be one of the strangest parts of Dungeons & Dragons
Instead of using spell slots, many characters relied on Power Points, unique disciplines, and even mental combat systems that worked completely differently from traditional magic

Your weapon wasn't always just a matter of preference in D&D
Older editions could give different weapons modifiers against different types of armor. A sword, mace, or other weapon could perform differently depending on what your opponent was wearing

I think my favourite thing about the entire October release might be this craptacular recreation of the 1st edition Monster Manual cover. 100% unnecessary as anyone who prints it will see a grey rectangle. But also vitally necessary.

My latest video looks at where a lot of old-school D&D habits came from: carrying 10-foot poles, checking ceilings, listening at doors, declaring marching order, and knowing when to retreat.

I’m looking at Isle of Dread, Castle Amber, and Curse of Xanathon to ask what they reveal about what “exploration” actually meant in early D&D.
Surprisingly (to me) the answer is not as simple as “hex crawling.”

In 1978, TSR built more than a dungeon. They built a Drow CITY with hierarchy, faith, & power struggles.
My new video looks at D1-D3 & why I think they changed D&D adventure design.
If you ran/played them, what do you remember most?

Early D&D was built for dungeon parties, not armies.
My new video looks at what D&D’s mass combat rules were actually trying to solve, why they rarely landed at the table, and what they reveal about the game’s early growing pains.

Early Dungeons and Dragons did not expect characters to adventure forever.
The game had an answer for what came after success.
That's what my new deep-dive video explores.

It needed someone to decide what belonged.
A tribute to Tim Kask, and a look at editing as world-building in the earliest days of D&D.

I took a look at how early D&D tried to stat the gods and what that decision meant for the game, from pantheon choices to the Chaosium issues. There’s also plenty here you can adapt for your own table.

But there was a rationale behind every category... even the weird ones!
