  • Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene Episode 30: The Ranger Class
    The Ranger Class first introduced to Dungeons and Dragons players was way back in 1978 in the Advanced D&D Player's Handbook.  The class had first been seen in Dragon Magazine issues.  In the Players Handbook the Ranger really saw the light of day and it drew many players to this homage of Tolkien's novels.  The Ranger has been in D&D ever since in all editions to this day.   As a sub-class of a fighter the Ranger is a departure from that class in a sense that Rangers are not a heavy combat class.
           The differences from a standard Fighter make the Ranger an interesting class to play.  And that departure makes it a fun class to play in D&D.  
       R.A. Salvatore wrote the Drizzt novels before the year 2000 and so Saul's idea of that character influencing the Ranger Class D&D 3rd Edition is possible.  
       Star Rangers was a MS-Dos game published in 1995.
     
       Song by Tone Ranger, song Cheyenne off the album Tone Ranger.

  • Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene Episode Twenty Eight:Playing the Cleric

        The classic Cleric is discussed in this episode.  Saul thinks they are like the last class to be picked by players, like that last kid picked on the sports team.  Why does it seem that everyone thinks a party should have a Cleric but then its a hassle because nobody wants to play one.  Saul uses playing Overwatch, a computer game, where the healer is always the last character chosen.  Jolene disagrees with Saul on how no one wants to play one.  Saul and Jolene discuss the benefits of playing a Cleric and how they offer roleplay opportunities more than other classes.  

       Thanks for listening please share our podcast with your family and friends on your social media.
