@ 15:56 The illogical issue of the deck plans confounds me as well, and it is compounded by the fact that all the floor descriptions place level 1 at the top, with incline planes going down to level 2 then level 3 and so on... Level 1 is also described as having a large reinforced pressure hatch for on-planet removal of supplies from this level. I never understood why they would place this hatch on the top of the ship and not the bottom... Curses! I was hoping you had insights on this issue. I guess I'll just flip the numbers too.

Savage Worlds version was my favorite to play, the original version was my nostalgic favorite.

Calling Boot Hill an RPG is a stretch.

Back in the '70s and '80s the "21st Century" seemed so far away!

Cosy discussion about the game, however there seem to be a lot of factual errors. No hero points or karma - there is LUCK and it is a big part of the game. When you hit zero hp you are just dead. No. Not true. OSR does not mean Old School Roleplay but Old School Revival or Renaissance. And more. Too many errors for a video claiming to explain the rules.

Yall should really re-upload this video with the audio fixed to decent levels. It's not hard to do. Can't hear a thing.

how RAD!!

Can barely hear the audio, even with volume at max.

The first US presidential limousine was a White Model M steam car. 1909.

Would have been a good video ... except for the audio :(

I see episodes 1, 8, and then 10-14. Where did episodes 2-7 and 9 go?

You guys should fix the audio if possible

Hey - this is a very entertaining discussion.

Good stuff subscribed I hope you do more looking at your playlists quite good

Volume is way too low, and coming in one-channel only (sometimes). As to the "weird dice"...meh... I kinda agree, but we just played DCC last weekend and never touched anything other than d6 d20 (admit it was a small funnel). You can work-around the odd dice if you prefer (and if I did not own them, I would quickly....and move on).

Where did you get that background? Sweet! Who is the artist?

If it can be found, Western Hero from the Hero System. Lots of background on the setting, a list of resources for inspiration (actual reference books, movies, and stories). As well as backgrounds on the historical figures. The book was set up to be used for both Rolemaster and Hero System, meaning there is some system-neutral information and details.

It is easier to show the character sheet, all the numbers, mods, and variables are written down. The largest complaint from most modern gamers is: Why can't I make a character quickly and get into the game? There's a lot of text, and this is how we did back then. This version was released about a year before AD&D 1st edition DMG, and some of the influences are visible. I would go as far and say, Gygax wanted a gonzo-setting, with all the games being able to be drawn together. For me, I like the separate boxes, but there is a cross-genre appeal.

It's a fantastic system! It's not crunchy, but swingy. The crits and fumbles really help drive the story along. The art in the book is wonderful. It's perfect for Sword and Sorcery style games.

Finally a video format that just breaks down rules of games for busy GMs with no fluff. Please do more tabletop RPG vids, we need this kind of content.

I think Wargames Reearch Group rules came first (about 1969) which is how I personally discovered serious wargaming... along with simpler authors such as Don Featherstone and Terrry Wise. I think it might be fair to say Chainmail was one of the very first dedicated medieval and skirmish systems :-)

I like MCC, but I love Umerica more!

MCC is a straight up love letter to Gamma World, according to the author. Nice to see this underrated game getting some attention. I prefer MCC over DCC, but both are decent enough games, if anyone out there is wondering.

My first RPG and still one of the best.

Great video! Love the history review here.

Timestamps would be very useful for this kind of video.

I love the art and setting of the original game. The invention charting was innovative and engaging. But why, dear God why, were there THREE separate rule systems for combat? That bore no relationship to each other?! So yeah, I borrowed (tried) multiple different RP systems for actual character interaction. H.E.X. was maybe the best, with White Wolf's Storyteller System a close second.

Thank you guys for talking about this I enjoyed it!

found the sound to be a bit low

Thank you so much for putting in this much effort in explaining this original game!

Full series replay for "The StarLost" is below. The original concept and story were by Harlan Ellison of "A Boy And His Dog" (and others). He walked before the first episode aired due to "differences" with the production and invoked a clause to use his pseudonym. You can see flashes of (possible) greatness...but it was not-to-be: ua-cam.com/play/PL--pHTqezC-lUcDCyNwWcZRkfZicAuzei.html

The fastest way to get characters is to go to purple sorcerer and use the insta character generator, you can create up to 500 0 level characters in one go- instantly sends it to a pdf. They also have a 1st level generator as well

LUCK - always influences you - want to use it on the regular play a human thief or a halfling. Remember the halflings, elves, and dwarves are more or less a multiclass variant all wrapped up in a neat little package :D

Dungeon Crawl Classics! Plural 😇

thanks for these videos, very useful.

Trucks are perfectly legal. It's called softskin transports. And it cost 1 point per unit (platoon) in my case. Each truck holds two stands of infantry (or can tow one gun team). In any case a standard grenadier platoon is 5 stands of mg42 k98 infantryman with an mg42 heavy mg team. That's 6 stands, so three Trucks. I usually run a grenadier company, so two platoons are this way. My command stand of 2 mp40 stands gets a kubelwagen because the captain and lieutenant ride in style.

Hey my buddy's dad's friend made this game. He's talked to me about this game a few times

The discussion about choosing Cleric when you where rolled up as a Dwarf is not true. If you have a Dwarf Background, you would be a Dwarf Class at level 1.

The dice chain is a gimmick. Use combos to give the same variance. D30? Use a d6 and a d10. D24? D6 and a d12. Etc.

True grognard here. Started with Basic in the 70s. I only recently got this system and have not played yet. The dice chain actually intrigues me. Fighters for example get a die roll for their attack bonus. That starts at d3, then steps up to d4, d5, d6, d7 etc... as you level. So you potential goes up, but on any swing you may only get a +1. To one thing you said, in my reading it states that if you roll dwarf as your background, then he will be a dwarf forever. You can't choose to change him to cleric at 1st level. It states that. But the demihumans all get special powers unique to that race, that balances it against the abilities the human classes have. Very old school approach. I look forward to our first funnel. Thanks for this video, I am absorbing as much as I can before we play.

btw, this video isn't listed on your channel. I almost missed it

Merci pour votre analyse précieuse de DDC.

Slim rules set. Lethal setting. An amazing RPG. The rules book cover is beautiful SF.

With jousting, I assume that once a knight is injured, he is unable to continue jousting in the next ride?

I LOVE Boot Hill one of my favorite ttrpg’s of all time. I’ve been running a Boot Hill 3e campaign for a few years now.

Did anyone notice that the illustrators sneaked in the cartoon of the bare-chested footpad from the original AD&D PHB? (30:00) 1.bp.blogspot.com/-5fubHTVzmnU/VgMPqPTZMaI/AAAAAAAAA9A/CF7a-fyyRiI/s1600/trampier%2Bthief.jpg

Nope...

Within 5 minutes the narrator could not pronounce Jules Verne? How much of a sci Fi fan could the uneducated peasant possibly be?!!!

Thank God the shit music stopped.

Magic IS the big thing that sets DCC as a differentiator from many game systems
