Flailing Through First

In which Will and I wax poetic about the uses of a Deck of Many Things and a bunch of other items. Strap in folks, this is a long 'un.

Will and I start our romp through the oft-times ridiculous list of 1E magic items.

We axe all of the important questions, just trident understand, would you?

Will and I actually tackle armor and shields before swinging our way into swords.

Will and I go straight for RSW- Rods, Staves, and Wands. Really Wands, Rods, and Staves, but who's counting?

In which Will and I discuss all the ringy-dingys.

In which Will and I get into a surprisingly detailed discussion of Holy Water and then swim straight on into potions.

In Which Will and I discuss racial class limits, dual classing, and multi-classing.

In which Will and I discuss perhaps the most complicated character classes. And then we're done!

In which Will and I discuss certain events in the gaming community. And I wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes (to the tune of "Duncan and Brady" by The New Riders of the Purple Sage).

Well, tumble, tumble, tumble, small d4
Ernie Gygax junior’s coming through the door
Gonna revive his dad’s company
He'll cater to old white men, just you wait and see

Chorus:
You know he's
Been rollin’ dice too long
Been rollin’ dice too long
Been rollin’ dice too long
Said Ernie, your time has gone 

Now gaming as a culture has come pretty far
Then along comes Ernie with his TSR
He thought Wizards of the Coast was acting too woke
And cast Protection from Evil as a little joke.

Chorus

Well Ernie, Ernie, Ernie, you know you done wrong
We like diversity, we like to get along
You’re a racist, sexist transphobe, that’s pretty clear
Now take your busted system and get outta here

Chorus

Well, tumble, tumble, tumble, small d4
Ernie Gygax junior’s coming through the door
Gonna revive his dad’s company
He'll cater to old white men, just you wait and see.
