Editor - SavageMick

“Not entirely fair?" His voice became that of the inferno: a rushing, booming howl of icy evil that flew around the great cavern, as swift and cold as the Wendigo on skates. "I am Satan, also called Lucifer the Light Bearer..."
Cabal winced. What was it about devils that they always had to give you their whole family history?
"I was cast down from the presence of God himself into this dark, sulfurous pit and condemned to spend eternity here-"
"Have you tried saying sorry?" interrupted Cabal.
"No, I haven't! I was sent down for a sin of pride. It rather undermines my position if I say 'sorry'!”
― Jonathan L. Howard, Johannes Cabal the Necromancer

Sorry for the delay, folks.

This week, The Party discuss Travel, Exploration, the differences, and how best to encourage them in your RPG.

Mentioned in this episode:

The Alexandrian

The Action Button youtube channel

Travellers on a Red Road

Adventures in Middle-earth – Again, no longer in print

Previous episode on Festivals

The Puck Fair

Hot Springs Island

Dark Souls

No evidence could be found of the ‘Valley of the Ice Dragon’ 2-page adventure, and Savage has since admitted he probably made the whole thing up.

Editor - SavageMick

TOME ONE: THE DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE - In which the Warlord and the Savage read from the Book of Gygax and extol upon its virtues and lament its failings and generally amuse themselves, and hopefully some of you, with speculations on the financial, psychological, spiritual and pharmacological states of the being known as The Gary Gygax.

Editor – Scarr

This week, The Party discuss some mechanics you might wish to take from one RPG and place into others.

Show notes:

03:22: Spell Failures and Misfires from Low Fantasy Gaming

04:14: https://discord.gg/VW6NUJe

04:50: Zimmers Candle of Quicksaving from 5e Hardcore Mode

07:05: Stress and Flashbacks from Blades in the Dark

15:00: The Offical RPG for Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. We didn’t discuss it in detail, but I’m informed it has a versatile Blades-like dicepool system which does combat, social and magic all rather well.

15:20: Don’t worry folks, I’m sure we can revisit Blades in a future episode.

15:55: Classes as Pies and Old-School Social Combat from Neoclassical Greek Revival

18:16: Swayable Juries and Chase Tracks from Aces and Eights: Shattered Frontier

20:29: Icons from 13th Age

20:40: Cat Tobin Interview

26:21: 5e Travel Rules from Adventures In Middle-Earth. Sadly no longer available from Cubicle 7, but stay on the lookout for 2nd-hand copies, perhaps.

27:58: Non-Lethal Bar Brawling from Brancolonia

31:20: Advantage for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition

33:47: The 2d6 Reaction Table from Old-School Basic D&D. Here's a useful modern version, with extra layer to show it can be used in a lot more scenarios than you think.
