You CAN go Holmes again, and then some!, DM Glen, and TM Erik are joined by Michael Thomas (creator of Blueholme, a great D&D; Holmes clone) as they talk about his recent expansion, Bluehome Journeymanne Rules. An expansion of the original Prentice Rules, The SoDders discuss how this expands the game, filling in some needed rules (while leaving some for the DM to tinker with) and how this edition of a much-loved clone is one of the most versatile yet easily-played out there.

Adventure 136 – Blueholme Sweet Holmes

Can you make the save? Remember those thrilling days of yesteryear, when D&D came in a single box?
When rules were there to be guided by the Dungeon master, not in control of
him? Where extrapolation was king and fun was the major goal of any
adventure?

Those days have returned! As with the very title of the podcast, one can
imagine dangerous dungeons, Wiley Non-Player Characters, and monsters that
might just be able to kill your character regardless of your level? Save or
Die podcast intends to cover them all, from the first box set of 1974 to the
last of the 1990s box sets. If its Dungeons & Dragons and came in a box,
we’ll talk about it.

Our fearless Dungeon Masters Vince, Mike and Elizabeth will regale listeners
with tales of past events and future possibilities. Magic, Monsters, and
Mayhems will abound as we delve into the ideas of light rules and heavy
role-playing
