I decided to reread my AD&D 1e DMG, and Gary Gygax's words in the preface got me thinking: "What follows herein is strictly for the eyes of you, the campaign referee - As this book is the exclusive precinct of the DM, you must view any non-DM player possessing it as something less than worthy of honorable death." Was it really intended that just the DM in each group would purchase the DMG, or was this a marketing ploy to get players to want to own "the forbidden fruit"?

Rach & I leave for NTRPG Con this coming Wednesday, and it isn't easy eating healthy and exercising at gaming conventions. Here's some helpful tips.

WotC will increase the price of print of future D&D products by 20% in August 2023 while keeping digital product pricing as it is. We also get some apples to oranges comparisons of profits and revenue for D&D and WotC as a whole. I try to break it down. https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/dungeons-dragons-price-increase-rpg-rulebooks/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

Bad Mike & Tenkar are joined by OSR creators Levi Combs & Jeff Talanian for tonight's live stream :)

We tend to remember playing the Rules as Written in the old days, but we likely didn't, as the rules were likely overly complicated or incomplete or both. What is the fascination with RAW anyway?

In AD&D 1e, magic resistance is based off the expectation that the caster is 11th level, and increases 5% per level less than 11th, and decreases 5% per level above 11th level. I remembered it as increasing or decreasing based on target level vs caster level. In AD&D 2e, magic resistance is constant, regardless of the level of the caster. Learning old rules anew every day it seems... Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

Zak's lawsuit against Gen Con, Peter Adkison & Spouse was dismissed with Prejudice & sanctions. Time will tell if this dismissal sticks, as the prior one did not. A short message for Mathias "Matt" Ironstar, the troll account that called me and my friends "Yahtzee" sympathizers as well as inferring such for Kelsey - publicly apologize for your unfounded attack, or I will publicly link your troll account to your "True" name on Facebook. You have a troll account to keep your "True" name clean. Be a man and admit you were wrong and I won't publicly reveal you for who you are - Tenkar Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

Ah, the joys of a Facebook Community that can't even follow its own simple rules. No, I'm not canceled. But it isn't for a lack of trying. What upsets me more than anything is the attempt to cancel others BECAUSE of their association with me. So petty. So childish. So immature.

Dan Masters, Professor DM, gave us a peek behind his screen, showing what he makes on an average video, and a highly successful video, and I figured I'd do the same. Despite what some folks think (and often say quite loudly), the vast majority of YouTubers in the TableTop RPG gaming sphere are NOT making bank off of your clicks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7U7KALU2w0&ab_channel=DungeonCraft (Dan's video on the topic) Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join
