First i love the shirt Doc Savage is awesome. I do like the idea of podcasts being added to regular rotation. One thing i would love to see is if you would be willing to do a series on building a dungeon and how you do them at your table. that would be really cool especially because then we can add a bit of you and your play style into our games. another idea I'm curious if you would be willing to do a series on your thoughts on other media and how its added or changed your games, like how you have kaiju in your games because of your love of Godzilla. Another thing to go with this might be you could show us how you would adapt books, movies, and tv show to the various games that you play IE.. game of thrones to ad&d, or alien to a system like traveler that could be a fun series and you could do polls to see what franchises you like that might be fun for people to watch.

Yeah I had missed this one. I would love to see you do a video on that later edition. While I didn't like the setting (Web/Orion) as much as this edition the game itself was far better. Still love dusting it off and playing it and talk about well supported??? So much great stuff TSR released to support Top Secret.

As DM I gave strength bonuses to thrown weapons with the caveat that any thrown size small weapon can only add strength damage up to its maximum size "L" damage in strength bonuses. No you can't throw 6 darts and add 6 damage to each with your gauntlets of Ogre power to a dart buddy.

By the book, RAW rules, you’re actually calculating the damage wrong. The correct way to do it, is to double the base dagger damage (1-4 S,M & 1-3 L), and then to add the weapon bonus to the double damage. When NOT at your table with your house rules, the official RAW does not add strength bonus to missile damage. So, your damage will be (1-4) x 2 + 1-4 bonus = 3-12 total vs S,M, and (1-3) x 2 + 1-4 bonus = 3-10 vs L, depending upon the plus bonus of the dagger (which is NOT doubled). So, a +3 dagger would do 2-8 +3 damage vs a medium sized opponent, or 5-11 hit points of damage. That’s a very significant damage score for a dagger. Doubling the magical bonus damage and allowing strength bonus on top of that is an insane amount of damage.

As a player, I'd certainly support your interpretation, as it gives the item far more utility, but I'm not sure I read the description the same way. It seems to me that "will inflict twice normal dagger damage, plus the dweomer of the blade" means "will inflict twice normal dagger damage _comma_ *and then* add the dweomer of the blade". That certainly seems more inline with the honestly kinda pitiful effects offered by so many magic items, and the modest GP and XP value of the daggers. YMMV.

Game changing? Hell yeah, when you double the Magic Bonus w/o the rules stating so!! LOL It seems too powerful that way. Do you change everything at your table?

Thanks for the video! I recall one of the DMs in our rotation who used UA stuff more than I added these into a treasure pile. There were several each with a different plus of +2, +3, and +4. We split them up in our group. We also added to hit and damage bonuses for hurled weapons but it didn't stack with dex, one or the other as chosen for the attempt by the player. In my games, and those of fellow DMs back in the day, these could also be used in melee combat.

Always remember weapons you throw! In a recent game our Dwarf fighter threw a possibly magical axe at a minotaur and totally forgot about it until the party was many miles away...the only bright side is it was acquired the same session it was lost so it didn't feel quite so bad.

Totally misread the title as "Dangers of Throwing in AD&D" and thought this was going to be some obscure rule I missed in the DMG about fumbles or throwing into combat 😆

Cool

I’d love a podcast, but I find those generally work best with 2 or more hosts so it goes more like a conservation!

Yours is my favorite channel for gaming, especially D&D. And if you put stuff out I will try my hardest to watch/listen to all of it!

The interesting thing about Tournament Play is that randomization is reduced in order to better make comparisons between players and groups, and this is why damage rolls are averaged to find the mean score. So, if your sword could hit for 1-8 or 1-12 points of damage, you would just do 5 or 7 points per hit. I don’t know how prevalent Tournament Play is now, but it used to be a very regular feature at conventions, especially the GenCon ones. It was a good way to play test modules, and to inspire top level creative play among the players.

There are ongoing discussions on the Mongoose forums about all the problems with the current edition, and a Mongoose staff member stated that a new edition should be released next year. So even though I'm a hopeless gearhead, I'll be waiting to buy it.

Oh, I did find a set of monster cards online for AD&D, and it says their acid spit is 4d8 for damage.

I think you do well with "how I do things" type content. For example, showing a monster or a type of encounter, and giving an example of how you've handled it. Not "right way/wrong way" stuff, but just your own experience. You could do this kind of thing with every game you've run, and it would be fun to get insights into the details of your campaigns and worlds, as well as giving newer DMs/GMs suggestions of what's worked (or didn't work) for you in the past.

Congratulations! I’d love to hear about your process as a GM, how you prep, how you manage players’ desires vs game play. If that were in a podcast format so be it. Love the scifi content!

You rock.....keep up the good work....Semper Fi.....

Wow, I'm envious, that's a sweet collection 👏 I had the Adam Steiner with Infiltrator. Got it in a toy sale at Woolworths in Yate, was over the moon to get it. Played with it loads, still have it today. Nice video, thanks

I've been here for the AD&D & Gamma World content & hearing your experiences as a long-time DM. Sometimes, I watch one of your Traveler vids, too, but I'm not familiar with the game. Congratulations!

Congrats Tony! I'm sure you know it but just to express just how useful and interesting your videos have been. Great nostalgia pieces on the D&D side and for Traveller. The single most informative and useful youtube channel for helping navigate the VAST amount of material out there for it for newer players. Definitely adding my voice to 'more live play' I loved your Silent Death play vid. Definitely would like to see you run a Traveller live play. Show us your GM chops! As far as other games. I know you said last video you weren't a T2000 player ( I LOVED that game) but how about Top Secret or Boot Hill. Did you ever play those back in the day. Still have them today. Would love to hear your thoughts on those. Can't wait to see what you do with that Naval Campaign. As I've told you before, I've been running one myself and it is quite an interesting style of playing Traveller and some neat mechanics via that Element Class box set. Keep up the great videos and know just how much what you do is appreciated and enjoyed. Here's to working your way to that 1000th video!!

So much space wasted on these OoB diagrams, the info in which could be far better conveyed by a few lines of text and figures..

Less traveler more D&D please😊

Would be neat for you to share stories of major encounters that your players have had with really big named monsters of renown in AD&D like Demogorgon, Orcus, Asmodeus and Baalzebub - assuming if, of course, they had ever progressed to high enough level to have encountered these top tier D&D monsters.

Woo! The 800 Club! XD

I've really enjoyed your content, especially the Dragon Magazine videos. I was born in 72 and played the original D&D blue book with my brother when it came out, and still love 1st edition. Your videos on Gamma World and Traveler are also great. Keep going! The kids need to know where RPGs started!

I'd love to be able to come to a Jump point but I am so far away. With notice might make the next one. Love to see live play of Travaller. This helps me run better. Of course live.play Champions would also rock.

Congrats!

Congratulations. I'd love a q and a if it fit my schedule.

Have you ever thought of running a on line Traveller game for some that dont have a local group? I would love to participate in one.

Great channel, i love your videos on ad&d spells, monsters etc. A few days ago a couple friends visted ( we are 40 years old) and we were talking at the sittng room. I let one of your videos play (one about the Heat metal spell) and it triggered a 15 minute conversation about the uses of the spell and how sometimes these innocet looking spells can be broken if the players use them in a smart and unexpected way . DIdn't expect that, i mostly let the video play as background noise , we were talking politics.

Tony - Awesome work getting to 800! You’ve got 4100 subscribers not by luck but because of your on screen charm and genuine love of the games we love. Don’t sell yourself short. Your passion really shines through and that’s why we keep coming back.

Congrats and thanks for all the videos! I love your vids going through the various creatures and magic items for AD&D. Podcasts are a-okay too!

Congratulations on 800! Thsts an incredible milestone. Please keep'em coming! I have ZERO interest in a podcast. I like the video format where you can display things.

Congrats!! 800 is real dedication. We appreciate the grind. Like the others, I always enjoy the AD&D content. Especially the old Greyhawk supplements that I always saw and never got to read. Also, all the new MGT2 material. I’d really love an overview of supplements in the Marches, or stuff that would slot into a Drinax campaign. That could be an exceptionally lengthy series! What sort of changes might you expect if you started a Drinax campaign DURING the new war?

I prefer your DnD content. I have not watched any other. But I know it's not all about me. So, I wait for any DnD content then watch till my hearts content.

Journey and Empire of the Petal Throne.

Mate, you’re a legend, love your videos. As someone who’s come back into the hobby after tens of years absence, I find them super useful. Love the idea of Q&A

Rampart fighter from the Traveller RPG.

I would love more traveller content. Some ideas: going over what happened in a game session, talking through memorable sessions/characters etc, adventure ideas you have not yet played, interesting places in charted space. Basically stuff that is not a flip through even though I like those too. Keep up the good work!

👍🏻😎🎃🐈‍⬛

Love the show.! I would love it if you kept up with D&D, I play Traveller and I would love to hear more about Gamma World, again Big fan my dude!

Congrats on 800 vids!

An occasional live podcast would be fine!

Congratulations! 👏

I would be interested in jump point. Unfortunately it was just bad timing with my wife's birthday last time. South suburbs shouldn't be too hard for me to get to.

congrats, love the traveller content

I love your AD&D shows, but I’d love to hear about some Star Frontiers. I haven’t read those books since the mid-Eighties.

Also: more Champioms, more Battletech, more retrospective videos on old issues of Dragon, Challenge, Adventurers Club, etc. All your videos are very good and useful so just do whatever you enjoy.
