This week I pulled out an email from the old email bin, and answered a question from Tom. He is asking about making a magic-user a little more fun for this players, so they don't get bored playing them. Here I go over 3 suggestions of what he could do in this situation to make it a bit more exciting. Could it work? Who knows. What do you think?

Hey Folks! In this week's episode I decide to show you my quick and dirty combat for AD&D 1e. This is how I maintain a quick, smooth and fast combat for my game. I go over the steps with some examples when using minis, along with some ways to explore how to handle combat. Each person has their own way to run combat, some run straight by the book, others modify it to their liking. Here is my method.

 1. Minis are placed, or setup/described theater of the mind.

 2. Actions are decided for players.

 3. D6 side initiative is rolled, lowest roll side goes first.

 4. Spells go off (unless delayed)

 5. Missile weapons go off

 6. Melee and Movement (handled together)

 7. Losing side goes turn

 8. Roll Side Initiative again

In this short video I go over the reasons why I really enjoy OSR games, and why sometimes as a player you need to run. Death lurks around every corner, fear is what motivates you to keep playing.

This week let's take a look at falling damage. Let's first open up the PHB to p 105 and read what it says, but then lets look at Dragon Magazine #70, where Frank Mentzer takes the time to correct and tell us what the falling damage should actually be.
