Hi Richard! Just found you searching for Shadowdark videos and content. I enjoy your SD info and insights. Subbed. Thanks! 👍🏼

Thanks for the review! I look forward to more videos as you uncover the rest of the book.

I have no desire to buy anything WotC makes since 2018. If I want to play D&D, I just pull out the AD&D books. There are way better modern games out there these days. You don't need WotC.

Nice way to provide easy comparisons between the editions. I have the latest 10th pdf edition but so eager to see the print.

Loving the Conan content, keep it coming! And thank you.

think ill pick up both the japanese and english versions. as im trying to learn japanese and i love trpgs. thanks for the preview

Thank you very much for your video , i have been playing C&C for a few years , Not against Shadowdark so many other good games out there.

Sorry it’s the companion not campagn book page 18 if you could watch for it.

Can we play Super-Heroes like DC or Marvel Character too ? Or just Mystery men like Doc Savage, The Spirit, the original batman, Rocketeer, Zero ? Because I really like the engine they use and hopes for some super heroes TTRPG I can handle !

I've been running this for my own setting at a public table here in Reno Nevada and now mange 4 other GMs running the same system. We rotate every 3 weeks.

Nice recap! Much more detailed than other channels. Can we get a look at the PC's character sheets next recap?

I like the cover art of the crusader knight.

So glad to see our adventures immortalized on the channel. Thanks for doing these, Rich!

This game continues to be uninspiring in every way, but thanks for your service.

Great video. I have the original Adventurer's Armory, and the damages seemed off in that book as well. I use other books--notably the Gygax World Building series--for weapon damages. Or I just change the damage for players (always higher). Otherwise, the Adventurers' Armory is a great book to help players unfamiliar with armor and weaponry. I think with the Gygax books, those also serve a similar purpose, and I use those (as a CK) because there are a lot of other information and tables as well.

Thanks for your service DM Bluddworth!!

I don't see the problem. they are a company that can get cancelled for not saying 'inclusive and sensitivity talk'. so what. some like it old skool and some like it new skool. I don't see a problem.

When playing Shadowdark, I really ought to have someone else take the first bite of any random apple I come by unless I picked it myself. 😉 I bought the Shadowdark pdf/HC combo. 'm looking forward to getting my HC copy when they restock. You run a great game and my fellow players are a hoot. I'm looking forward to the next session. Cheers & Cups 🍻

For me it's simple - if you have to run a campaign in Middle Earth - you can set it in areas the Fellowship never visited. I'm not messing with Tolkien's canon.

Great discussion. A commenter in your live chat had it right and I’m paraphrasing… just ignore WOTC, move on and stop giving them your money. Late era 5E, 6E whatever and future editions are not marketed to the previous or older, current generation of gamers. Digital VTT, playing in a group around a table and staring at your iPad, or Mobile phone, micropayments for the least thing? That’s marketing to kids of today. I live in Asia and those sort of games RULE sales. And they pay for it - we have kids out here who’ve put their parents in debt to the tune of tens of thousands with these micropayments. We are talking that level of addiction. I keep hearing comparisons to Monopoly Go. Yeah, that’s relevant but so is Roblox, League of Legends, Valorant, Fortnite and an endless assortment of mobile and desktop RPGs with a digital ecosystem wrapped around them. This stuff works with this and the upcoming generations. D&D? Pfft who’s got time to READ those rules. (Actual quote to me) So they are just going to keep digitising as much of D&D for sale over mobile as they can and that is not going to stop. For the rest of us? Well, I could be wrong but having played since the 1980s, we have never been so spoiled for choice when it comes to play around a table, roll actual dice, and read real rulebooks. Take your pick and play on. D&D tabletop will always live on wherever we gather! TO ARMS! 😂🎉

The Flex die is extra complexity that doesn’t add anything, since the PCs can spend Stamina to do the same feats

Really looking forward to this coming out! To be honest though, I'm not much of a fan of the cover art. I hope this is just a place holder for the cover.

You do realize that nobody takes condor serious dont you? He is just a troll.

did this end up on backerkit (or will it)?

Glad I skipped this one. Way more detail than I need. Plenty of weapons in the ABP.

I love the idea of specific weapon types having additional characteristics for characters trained in that skill, like a Bowie knife having a bonus to disarm (for characters attempting the feat/skill/whatever). It allows players to really explore the history of the weapons. And you found a typo in a Castles & Crusades book? I am _shocked_ I tell you. _SHOCKED!_ 😅

Yes, very cool document. Don't know if you've read Kuntz's new book "The 4th Category"? It's a continuation of his "True Genius" book.

Thanks. Nice video!! Yeah -- I question those damages -- and some of those are so weak -- why even use some of these weapons if they do 1d3 for example? It'l like 80% of the weapons aren't worth even getting. Love that every weapon is illustrated though. Yeah -- this book is worth it for the pictures and the description text -- but yeah not sure I would bother with trying to differentiate what damage different maces do for example. If you do then like you said why not just use the mace(s) that do the most damage?

Ooooo... I'll look into this one. This looks right up my alley.

WoTC hating on Gygax and Arneson would be like the current owners of Marvel Comics hating on Lee and Kirby. Buy OSR retroclones. They appreciate Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. Not one more copper piece for WoTC!!

It takes longer to make a 5e character . Premade heroes is good enough till a player decides they like DND enough to commit . 5e adventure module is possibly the biggest starter module i ever experienced, I would love to try a BECMI rules on 5e adventure .

So over WoTC and DND. All people want is good stories and fun times with friends. But when these higher ups and companies start insulting the fans and rewriting lore for “reasons” I’m just done. I’ll support indie RPGs and TTRPGs.

I'm getting really used to having your channel in my regular diet of channels/podcasts. Love your work. Looking forward to another conversation with you soon.

Just heard this from other channels. Very similar to how sports fans feel when a hated GM or head coach finally gets fired. 😂😂

Ben Riggs is so mediocre, and his book is terrible.

They absolutely cannot replace him with a white woman. According to Matt Walsh’s victim pyramid, it has to be a black trans woman. Anything less will be a total assault to DEI sensibilities. All the other white people at the top should be demoted too. They’re just a bunch of DEI fakers. If they really believed it, they would step aside and give up their positions to someone with absolutely no qualifications whatsoever, that is except for a darker skin tone and a severe case of genderphoria.

Adventures Dark and Deep is a good game!! OSRIC is also good -- although I prefer Labyrinth Lord slightly over OSRIC.

5:54 I’d give the players choice as to what’s most expendable. As a player, I’d want my gold in the last slot to lose, because that’s XP 9:13 On direct damage, it bypasses any HP, and does not change HP. Cairn (based on Knave 1e) calls HP “hit protection” to represent damage as stamina keeping you from getting wounded. Think Game of Thrones fight scenes. You have enough fight in you to keep them from killing (wounding) you. 12:11 I like the re-roll HP. Always improving, but eventually tending to the average with all the dice. 14:52 I Love the idea of reverse checks! It opens the players up to role play describing how they make the goblin miss. GM could still role damage and others. 16:56 reverse checks still possible thanks to using 11 as the target base: D20 + PC stat to meet or beat 11 + GM stat for success. 21:56 Maybe the goblins come. See delving rules. He does call for a hazard dice roll for each dungeon turn. SOMETHING will happen.

Nice!!

Wow - very cool! Show the covers please -- one of these days!

Nice! You really are a Conan fan. I've read every single Conan book and short story he ever wrote on Conan. Never read his Salomon Kane stuff -- one day will have to read some Saloman Kane.

Oh wow! This is great!

I have been waiting for this recap. It sounds like an awesome campaign.

Wow---I feel so left behind. I'm still using my first printing of the PHB that I got 20 years ago.....😆

I had a great time last session, and I'm looking forward to the next. These recaps are a good idea. Thanks.

Okay you got my interest!

I'm running this for youths at the library where I work, all the kids are super into it.

It's a great system but the Modiphius company is woke AF.

It’s so easy for them to shit all over the glory of the past. These are the titans who built this game from the ground up for outcasts like us. We have always been outcasts, and people don’t realize what social pariahs we were in the past for loving this game. We suffered so you bunch of theatre brats can shit on us and call us racists and bigots, with no good evidence, and disparage the very game you’re now hijacking to turn into your cash cow.

Full Disclosure: I down graded my pledge to just the PDFs because I currently run C&C online exclusively and the physical books do nothing to forward my process of preparation.
