OSR v D&D 5E: A Questing Beast Crossover!

[@lisanadazdy7832]

I've heard the difference between old and new style rules this way: "In modern rules players are meant to engage with rules before everything else. In old-school rules, the players engage with the *environment* before everything else".

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Accurate.

[@PanicSatanic]

And PbtA, players are meant to engage with the narrative before everything else?

[@jasonvoorhees895]

I never really thought about the psychology of the old school artwork, but you're right. There used to be a feeling of "Oh shit, we're gonna die!" before we even started the game.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Absolutely!

In many old school campaigns you would lose two, maybe three characters before one would survive to fourth level.

[@HasturYellowSign]

I never played any rules set beyond AD&D 2e. And we mostly stuck with 1st edition. We jumped out of buying D&D books by the mid to late 90s. And even though I’ve moved you can still find people wanting to play 2e or earlier because it’s just more fun

Good stuff, spot on. In a B/X game the players were being followed by a powerful enemy wizard and his retinue of dangerous fighters... they'd already fought him once and he escaped. This time they backtracked him at night to where his gang were sleeping in a barn. They took out the sentries quietly, blocked the barn doors, and SET THE BARN ON FIRE. That's OSR...

[@DanielMendoza-qx5rl]

I really felt like as a newbie to the hobby, playing 5e for a couple of sessions made me feel I was playing a video game almost. However I don't think its awful but almost lacks a bit of flair to what you do in the game. I tried Basic Fantasy RPG and i felt like i was my character doing actions without any sort of skills that i want to use for the enviroment. Though describing things from both DM and players made it very interesting. I mean lethality will turn off a lot of people not wanting to lose more than 2 characters, but it feels less fun to survive a challenge. Enjoyed the video 👍

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks, Daniel! Pass it on!

[@blitzthekraken9832]

It's one reason older players are so much more cautious when they play. I have quite a few dead rogues too. I remember if you got a character up to 7th level, people got really careful. The truth of it all, great stories revolve around astounding and incredible deaths.

[@JavlinVII]

Andy from GA here - One of the main reasons I enjoy your channel is the grittiness that you encourage in DMing, which I take to come from your experience with previous editions of D&D. In particular, I really liked your ideas about making magic more risky, and my players have embraced the change in our campaign. I'm all for mining the previous editions for ways to tweak the current. However, I definitely feel we gained a great deal with 3rd and 4th edition not least in the accessibility of our hobby, which with the coming of 5th has allowed us to attract a wide variety of players. Looking at these OSG I'm reminded how little time I have to devote to the hobby, and I imagine them only remaining popular with the truly hardcore. Excellent content as always sir.

[@Goshin65]

"Save or die". A thing many newer players don't understand about that mechanic was this: getting a saving throw AT ALL was a leniency.... a normal person *should be dead*. Another thing was that you played to *avoid rolling saves at all*... you tried to out-think the opposition, or come up with an out of the box solution the DM would allow that would bypass the need to save in the first place. Trapped treasure chest? Drag it out of the dungeon and throw it off a cliff. It busts open and you go down and pick up the treasure...

[@adamcampbell5226]

Adam Campbell, Louisiana - wonderful breakdown, Professor! I’m enjoying your channel!

[@JAvellino669]

I believe that the intense focus on specialized skills removes the importance of basic stats. Eliminating "proficiency," and making checks based on the base stats, eliminates the meta-gaming that is so encouraged in modern games.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

I agree. Or you you;d eliminate stats altogether and just have a list of skills, like Crown & Skull.

[@swaghauler8334]

The kids today know something isn't "right" in 5e but they cannot seem to figure out that 5e makes "superheroes" while OSR makes "adventurers." All 5e really needs is a bit of "grit" in the formula. Reduce the class abilities, FEATS, and start them with a Proficiency Bonus of just +1 and you really begin to tone down the power creep in the game. Tom from PA.

[@lordilluminati5836]

thankfully, the bounded accuracy of 5e means it's easy to change the math- example attack rolls are supposed to hit aprox 60% of the time- that is why a level 1 character in 5e will have +4 or +5 to hit and low level enemis have an AC of 12 or 13. if you want that chance to be lower just give all the monsters +2 AC and +1 to saves that will make the hit chance closer to 50% feats are also an optional rule- the DM can choose to not allow them. finally there's an optional rule called 'slow natural healing' which makes HP work more like it did in old school games. if you're feeling particularly sadistic you can use the lingering injuries table as well. ultimately though, the players ARE the protagonists of the story- if they kill the monsters, get the loot, and save the princess that does not mean the game isn't working as intended, that's *supposed* to happen. 5e is a very moddable game, but it will always be a fantasy game.

[@BlackJar72]

I'll say it is interesting to see players used to newer editions play early versions of D&D; they often like it, but DMs use to newer editions often include tons of rolls, mostly ability checks, we never did back in the day. It seems its a habit of thought that's hard to break, and which those who are used to it simply assume as the norm.

[@connorshartle3383]

[@smugzoid5156]

I am watching this for the 3rd time (since first published) love your description of events from 8:30 on with OSR ingenuity vs perception rolls. 5e has merit of getting players to min max characters. But in an essence it all comes down to probability using different dice. Hearing check at a door 5 or less on a d6 = 83% chance success. DC 15 (+10 with attributes ) 5 or higher = 75% chance of success. What ever seems the easiest or most likable for the GM or the group wins. But it all comes down to probability rolls (which is very, very, fun).

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks for watching this three times. I say a similar thing in my latest video about Darkvision, at the very end. Check it out!

[@sonicexpert986]

Kyle from IL here! Would love a chance to see that UDT up close. Thanks for the video, it's great to hear your thoughts actually comparing OSR to 5e - I know in the past you've said that you play sort of a hodge-podge of several versions at home. I've never really gotten into OSR, but I definitely want to try and encourage more creative thinking in my players outside of "rolling perception" or investigation, or whatever. It's what I love about running for new players too - you tell them that in this game they can do whatever they want, and in the first couple of combats they often have creative ideas - ones that aren't covered in the rules due to action economy or other things. I would love a video on how to get 5e players who LOVE 5e to start thinking more out of the box like you've described here.

[@jeffersonhouse94]

Jeff from Idaho here. I have played older editions, but prefer 5e. That's what brought me back after a 20 year absence. I think you can still be creative in 5e, with the right group.

Hatmatter-Oregon. Nice observations and great video. Concerning your suggestions at the very end, I also note that there are options in the DMG that allow one to build out the 5E experience to simulate some of the lethality you are describing as part of the OSR. For example, employing the option in the DMG wherein a character can sustain specific injuries in combat...some of them permanent.

From what I've seen of your campaign journals, your game has a VERY BIG OSR feel, without using an OSR ruleset "per se". You follow the spirit of the endeavor, homebrewing and hacking your game until its OSR and that is INCREDIBLE. Personally, I'm thinking of switching to Worlds Without Number from 5e. It has that 5e simple resolution roll D20, add bonuses hit, number mechanic but with a lot more OSR goodness. It's great!

James C. from South Carolina and I would love that sewer terrain! I just recently started using UDT and have 1 piece for my lazy Susan that I haven't even painted yet so it is just a sad piece of blue foam. And you are SO RIGHT about OSR vs. 5e (and other modern RPGs). As a GM that doesn't pull puches or fudge dice rolls, it can still be very difficult to challenge players. In Savage Worlds, they walk through a firestorm of high caliber gunfire and walk out with very little to show for it. Some characters even walk out completely unharmed. As a player in that same system, I no longer feel challenged. In fact, I feel invulnerable many times but I honestly miss those moments where the GM described something horrible and everyone at the table thought, "Oh shit."

[@williamlee7482]

I think the percentage rolls for thieving abilities is far better then how they do thieving abilities now . The reason I say that is because it allows for greater customisation of thief abilities , for instance you could tailor your thief to be more like a treasure hunter by not putting any points into pick pockets and concentrating on things like open locks and find/remove traps . They way they do thieving abilities now removes the need for the thief class at all because everyone can open locks , hide in shadows , pick pockets because they are now skills anyone can take . There's no point in being a thief because it's now a rouge that isn't just a weak fighter with a few thief like class skill and is no longer needed as a class . It never made any sense to me to remove all their skills and put most of them into skill section that anyone can take removing the need for a thief class . It's just another reason I play a hybrid of 1st & 2nd edition AD&D

Tony Black Hi Tony, what I’m referring to is the fact that WotC are the makers of Magic the Gathering card game... and according to the designers used many of the principles that made MtG such a colossal success in designing the newer editions of D&D. Character “builds” mimic building your deck. “Feats” are equivalent to individual cards and exist solely for mechanical benefit with absolutely NO regard for how or why the character can now magically accomplish the new feat. Players are encouraged to “build” a mechanically efficient DAMAGE PER ROUND machine. In pre WotC D&D this was not the case, there was a purer regard for who the character was and exploring that through playing the game.
