Dragons Are Real

October is Anchorites Appreciate Arneson month in memory of the late Dave Arneson one of the founders of the RPG Hobby. In the first episode after a call in from Jason, I talk about that one player in the game, like Arneson was in Major Wesley's Braunstein game.

Call in from Goblin's Henchman about point crawls. I talk about some of the games I have been playing recently.

One of the games I ran at my local gaming club was Fear & Fun, a Stranger Things type game that I cobbled together when our regualr GM didn't show. I have written up the rules I ran links below.

The traditional wilderness mapping in OSR games is by use of the Hexcrawl. A hex grid is over-layed the map and is used for traversing the world. In this episode I offer an alternative - the Point Crawl. It holds less information than a hex map but arguably is of more use to a GM and clearer to understand.

Also call ins from Colin Green of Spikepit, Jason and TJ of Malodorous Miasma Meltdown.
