A challenge to all OSR Anchorites! Plus voicemails and my rambling answers. Captain Morgan and Pineapple Express may have been an influential guest host tonight.

I had a great time in NYC with Erik, his lovely wife Rachel, and Judd Karlman. Plus some voicemails!

Lots of voicemails, followed by me talking about setting expectations ahead of time when it comes to your setting. Lastly, a bit about why I don't allow multiclassing in 5e.

Voicemails!

A bit on the latest controversy

What is the OSR?

What we play v. what we want to play

What we buy v. what we use or find useful

A brief follow up on the thief stuff from yesterday, a voicemail from Tim Shorts of Gothridge Manor, and then a discussion of the main stylistic difference between 1st ed and 2nd ed D&D---Adventurers vs. Heroes.

Some thoughts that came to me while reading Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyporborea, especially regarding thieves and power. Rough stream of consciousness stuff.

Some different ways to make 5e run more like an old school game---not that my players let me do all of them. :) Plus: links on my blog to everywhere you can access the Podcast!

I talk about some recent city adventures I ran to help my brother get a character up in level and ready to play with the main gaming group. Things I learned, some helpful links, and funny stories. :)

My first bite at the Podcast apple. Who I am, where I've been, what I've been doing, and where I'm headed. Thanks for listening!
