Mirke The Meek

A guest takes over my podcast, and I then respond to his nonsense. Definitely listen to the whole thing before calling in. 😉

AD&D DMG Rating System
Consider the natural functions of each class of character. Consider also the professed alignment of each character. Briefly assess the performance of each character after an adventure. Did he or she perform basically in the character of his or her class? Were his or her actions in keeping with his or her professed alignment? Mentally classify the overall performance as:
E - Excellent, few deviations from norm = 1
S - Superior, deviations minimal but noted = 2
F - Fair performance, more norm than deviations = 3
P- Poor showing with aberrant behavior = 4

Clerics who refuse to help and heal or do not remain faithful to their deity, fighters who hang back from combat or attempt to steal, or fail to boldly lead, magic-users who seek to engage in melee or ignore magic items they could employ in crucial situations, thieves who boldly engage in frontal attacks or refrain from acquisition of an extra bit of treasure when the opportunity presents itself, "cautious" characters who do not pull their own weight - these are all clear examples of a POOR rating.

Spoiler alert: It's not tragic. But someone in the party has to have a tragic backstory, right? I talk about my gaming history as a long-winded way to explain why I have little experience with AD&D. Then I play the AD&D calls I got and give some more of my uninformed two cents.

My daughter joins me again to talk about our experiences playing Outdoor Survival together. But I start off by playing a call-in from Daniel of Bandit's Keep, who answers my questions from the previous episode. Then, I make an attempt at adding a homebrew pet mechanic. Lastly, I include call-ins from Jason and Colin.

Game overview cut for time - My Little Pony: Adventures in Equestria Deck-Building Game (https://renegadegamestudios.com/my-little-pony-adventures-in-equestria-deck-building-game/)

It's fun and all, but go for Hero Realms instead if you want to try out a fantasy deck-building game (https://www.herorealms.com/).

I'm showing my ignorance again! This time about the rules of AD&D, Panpsychism, and Open Source: software, ecosystems and licensing (OSR = Open Source Rules?).

I answer call-ins from my Many Paths to Travel episode. And then I talk about incorporating player character morale into Mark of the Odd games.

Featured Game: A story game that I play with my family in the car. I need to come up with a name for it.

In Chainmail, there are many combat systems. Unfortunately they got superseded pretty quickly by a unified, d20 mechanic. I like the idea of multiple systems that do the same thing differently. I would love to see robust travel systems, especially.
