You are very welcome! :)

Glad you liked it! :)

I am a professional gamemaster these days, so I run a LOT of games. Aproximately 4 to 5 every week. :D None of them are on youtube though, because I play locally.

Yeah, 7 years feel like two decades! So much has changed since then. And soon we might even get a new (better?) version of D&D!

Mainly because I wanted to finish the adventure in one go, so I had to save some time. That part was the easiest to cut out without removing significant content.

Although I did very much enjoy your run through, thanks!

Hey :) What module do you mean?

@@TrueMaskGames "Death in the Wood". I thought that, in this video, you were running It.

@@acarlosmatos Is that a premade campaign or adventure module or something? I am not familiar with it, sorry.

@@TrueMaskGames Yeap, it's in DMsGuild. Can't link here.

That's the idea! it's definitely one of the weirder RPGs that I have played!

Thank you Caius! :) Hope you are doing well, whichever part of the world you are in at the moment. Greetings from New South Wales, Australia! ;)

It is indeed! I am trying to be grateful for it. There is always the danger of just taking things for granted. :) Of course it isn't always easy, but no job is always easy. Most of the time I am enjoying it immensely.

I would have made sure that upon returning to Thistlehold, they would have run into someone looking for his license; the reason they attached themselves to him in the first place. However, I liked the "let Eric come and get him" comment.

To be perfectly frank: you just need to talk to them respectfully. You are the GM, right? Which probably means that you are putting a fair amount of work into the game, so that everyone has fun. If you tell your players that you don't find what they are doing "fun", and assuming they are somewhat mature and also really your friends, I hope you should be able to have a calm discussion about it. :)

Well...that kinda depends on where you hit someone with it, eh? :D

@True Mask Games Just curious because it's a stone age campaign. I wish I could join your group but you probably won't let me in! Lol

@@tonymaurice4157 This was just a oneshot adventure, there isn't a full campaign :)

@True Mask Games OK so let's start a campaign... Watch how you won't respond now and probably block me.

@@tonymaurice4157 Mate, I am running eight campaigns at the moment. There is no way that I can fit in a ninth one :D

Always good to be open for new ideas! :)

Glad to be or service :)

Thank you :) I did make a lot of rule mistakes back then, but I did learn a fair bit during the event.

Yeah...that certainly changed.

While I did move on to 2nd edition eventually (to be perfectly honest, most of the magic rules of 1st edition were just bland), I do keep a special place for number one in my heart. It was the first RPG I ever ran after all!

@@TrueMaskGames The Petty Magic in 1st edition was a great idea and our group had a lot of fun with it, but yeah magic was really bland. I kind of always wanted something based on real world alchemy and the like, I have been looking at the magic in Lion and Dragon or Beyond the Wall for inspiration recently too. Both OSR variants of D&D although both quite different from each other. 2nd edition magic was a lot more colourful although I do like magic to be rare in WFRP and usually in the hands of the bad guys.

Glad to hear it! :)

Warhammer games? I did a 4th edition warhammer playtest later on, but didn't end up liking the 4th edition.

Agreed, puzzles and riddles are very hard to pull off. I use them extremely sparingly.

I wouldn't say "naturally" but having fun definitely is a good central rule! :)

Thanks for your support, glad you like the books :)

You are welcome! :)

Spoiler Alert! Your prediction is pretty good! I think your Cthuluh Mythos skill must be higher than is good for you! :D

@@TrueMaskGames Perhaps...

That's a question nearly impossible to answer, since "efficient preparation" would look very differently from gamemaster to gamemaster. It heavily depends on what kinds of resources you are familiar with, what strengths and weaknesses you have when it comes to improvisation, and also what kind of campaign you are running. Optimized preparation looks very different when I prepare for a horror campaign, say Call of Cthulhu, from when I prepare for D&D. Sorry that I can't be more helpful in that regard. There are a couple of books out there on that topic (the Lazy GM and things like that), but quite frankly the techniques presented in those were not helpful for me personally at all.

Honestly, it's a bit crunchier than I would like. Certanily not super crunchy, but I would say slightly above average.

@@TrueMaskGames Ty

Thanks mate! :) I always mean to do more videos...but somehow never find the time for them.

Miss playing with you Caius! Are you doing well my friend? :)

@@TrueMaskGames Keeping fine thanks! And you? Is professional GMing still going well?

@@caiusofglantri5513 It has its ups and downs, not going to lie. It isn't always easy to keep productive, creative and motivated. But all in all it's going quite well. :)

​@@TrueMaskGames I can imagine it can be hard - it can be hard to GM without the added pressure of money! But in the games I played with you, you stand out as one of the very best - one who would be worth paying for! At least you are chasing a dream! It can be very difficult to achieve, but it' better than never trying! My heartfelt best wishes!

We were using the early Zweihänder rules in this video. I think they actually might have changed it in the rules around the same time that this was streamed. Or at least that's how I remember it. I might have simply made a mistake there. It's been too long. Thanks for the correction though! :)

100% agreed! While players have some responsibility with that as well, GMs are majorly involved in it.

Thank you! :)

Had to google Sam Heughan. I can't say I see the resemblance to be honest. :) Have fun with Symbaroum!

That video is a bit older, so I am pretty sure I threw out/deleted all the text I had for it, sorry.

My pleasure! Happy to help! I personally find the momentum system a bit counterintuitive, but it might be easier to understand if you have the full rules at your disposal, instead of just the quickstart.

Yeah, it's definitely better with the full rules. When I ran a campaign a few years ago it took a few sessions for the players to really see the opportunities but once they had they were all focusing the whole time in combat, not just on their turns. It definitely increases teamwork.

You are very welcome Jordan! It was fun! :)

You are welcome :)

What kind of help do you need? :)

Ideas, suggestions, and your all out character creation genius on the case haha

also your english is very good and understandable, the slight accent only makes it more interesting to listen to

@@diamend85 Thank you :) Glad to be of service!
