Let people do what they feel is better in their games. And do what you feel is better in yours. Every group, every person is different, and everyone has the right to play as they prefer

As I understand it, ICE was deep in debt in late 90s and 3rd edition was an easy way to obtain cash. If you cannot sell to new players, you try to resell your game to your fans with a new edition.

Great video. Sounds like we're both on the same side of the culture war. 😆

That screaming.... Holy crap.

They've taken all this way too far in my mind. Safe spaces. Gaming tables have long been safe spaces for many of us; means of escaping the real world insanity (and if your life is sane, you don't know how luck you really are) . A couple of things comes to mind, and this is from experience. 1. Most people who sit down to play a game, even newbs, generally understand what the game is already, otherwise they'd likely not be sitting down. 2. Session zero (although my friends and I never called it any such thing), covers the dos, don'ts, and what's acceptable at the table. This is the point that any players who have 'an issue' are supposed to share it with the table so the TABLE can agree or disagree on how to handle said 'issue'. 3. The Social Contract (also something we never had a name for back in the day but we all pretty much understood what it means by today's standards). Usually part of session zero or that point of time where we're discussing playing a game with someone, that further opens the table for 'what's ok and what's not." Aside from, say, playing at a convention with total strangers, there's no need nor reason for such a contract...period. And I agree, if you a player and you need 'safe places and special gloves', these games ain't for you. Or, perhaps far more importantly, You ain't right for gaming. Period. Offended by the other players? Don't play. Scared in the real world about something? Embrace it with a morbid passion in-game (otherwise, it's make believe, the spiders' can't really eat you). Against violence? Once again, why are you at the table? Seeking drama for drama's sake? Kick rocks, none of the rest of us want to join you. There ya go, one consent form.

I purchased a manual binder machine pretty cheep. There's a trick to using it consistency, but it does do a good job in turning PDFs into printed books. Having a printer with the duplex option is also very useful. I am fortunate that I have access to a Xerox at the office, though I tend to print in BW to save color ink. One of the issues with these binding machines would be that the upper limit on size (2 inches I believe) limits those larger PDFs to two binders instead of one. I have a couple that turned out that way.

I love it, you are getting very good with the animations. Well if you are wanting a starter questions .. Tell the difference between Orcs, Goblins, and Kobolds.

Looks like a great system. Definitely interested in it. I don't think it will be faster than D&D for levels 1-5, which is that systems sweet spot, but it will be faster than anything higher level and much more interesting than D&D period. Whittling down bags of HP is jut not interesting.

OK, I think the crits are over done with too many tables in RoleMaster... But the spell system- Wish we had a system like that in D&D. But again, lower the need of tables for different crit types.

I like the changes you made to the dragon. Your mascot is better than other channel mascots, because it isn't a boring still image used on other channels like pointy hat and deathbringer. Cooking gnomes.... are you going to do some spoof cooking videos?

Right now it is too much on the cute side.

There are underground "livestock" species in the eorlds of D&D. Plus, numerous types of mushrooms that are used not only as the basic "starch" of their diet but also many fiberous species that are grown and harvested for lumber. They are experts at mining, so creating ventilation shafts for fresh air is not outside their ability. They are not the only humanoids that live in the underdark. They are excellent crafters of metal goods, so trade is a large and important part of their survival. For the most part, their settlements seem to be fairly close to the surface, so they act as the "middleman" in trade between the surface races and those of the deep underdark. I don't believe it is too far-fetched to think dwarven culture would find ways to survive. Not to mention it is a fantasy world and magic can go a long way towards resolving what could otherwise be society killing obstacles.

I agree with making a character as something interesting. The issue is min maxers dont do that. They want to be powerful and perfect, so trying to get them to pick interesting is very difficult.

Mushrooms have very little nutrition. Better to raise rats that feed on the detritus in bat caves. And of course, in some lesser known places underground, ther are probably plenty of fish. But to the author of this video, if we used a single large Master shaft, our heims would be too easily detected.

I always think of them as Cloistered Clerics

The story is so jumbled up, it doesn't make any sense. In a few years it will be a forgotten series ridiculed by millions.

I do like some of the nicknames that they have created for the characters. Guyladriel,

I picture an odd match-up that would fun to play. A dwarven dancer of an elven baker.. not named keebler.

"ends with Yado, which is... just weird" 😂

what I often don't like is how the lighter armor types (below 9) are just objectively worse than not wearing armor at all... like look at the Cutlass chart - everything 5-8 is just worse than 4.

UA-cam has a feast or starve mentality. they can't find the happier medium.

Sad but true.

Clowndork never looked better

So I haven't gotten players up to the levels where getting to 100th level is a problem, but I don't actually see the problem. Critical and hit experience points are subtracted kill experience points, so there's not going to be a huge amount of extra experience points floating around, normally. Also, once delivering a critical is routine, it only gives half experience points, I generally roll routine to be somewhere between the 5th and 8th time you do it. I also generally want my players to level up fairly rapidly. And the fact you need an extra 10,000 XP every five levels for each level, to my mind should keep this under control. I can see the unbalancing between player characters. If all the characters with high offensive bonuses are getting the Lion's share of the XP, but half that XP is awarded as idea points at your discretion to the whole party, normally the magic users or anyone who is falling behind in XP for some reason, and it's really easy to justify "you don't get any Idea point XP because all you did was hit things really hard". You can also reduce the level of the opponents they're facing if there's just too much XP going around, kill points and critical points are both based off of the level of what they are fighting, there's nothing to say you can't reduce their level of the enemy without altering their stats at all. You're increasing the difficulty for the players and slowing their level advancement, but if that's what you want to do, you can certainly do it.

That is fucking awesome.

New subscriber. @oggm_adventures sent me! 😁

what happened to your videos on Clowndor?

he took down the vidios and claims he never made them, now he is spreading new lies

Yes, they have potential to do many interesting and novel (hah) things! Cartographer is another one I find interesting.

The ultimate nerd profession for a nerd.

This is classic! :) EDIT: Hm... I see I'm shadow banned here. Why did you do that, man?

As a former player in one of his games he is not just picking fights on UA-cam, he picked a fight with me as a player based on false accusations and then kicked me from his game without even acknowledging the truth in my defense. He is known for provocation in his games to players, expecting them to know numbers like we are mind readers. This news is not surprising, that person is a complete package of asshat. My experience with him, shows this is his nature.

🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant! The hilarious thing is he spews out videos asking viewers to give him a 'fair shake' and tells them not to believe 'the lies'. But what he can't actually grasp is that people don't like him because of the way he conducts himself on the internet and not because of his opinions. It's quite sad really.😂😂

He is so pathetic, he posted accusations directly toward you. He admitted going to your channel, love it.

More Condor BS, the same thing he was saying for years. You can not like or dislike a video 5 times, I tried. UA-cam does not remove likes or dislikes. They barely respond to reports. IMHO your better off not responding to him, its not like he will change. Thank him for the free press because you gained a few subs already

Oh was just wondering why I can’t see the number of dislikes on YT videos (that a lot of people mention they can see) and thought it was just because I was in Australia 😂…and didn’t realise you can download an extension. I learnt something today 👍

Now I know why you were doing the evil laugh.

Came here because I saw @calvanoni5443, and you get a sub from me for calling out Condor. Sadly, calling him out does nothing but give him fuel for more videos about how "we " are out to get him.

All the usual false statements from Condork!

This is (part of) why Dark Sun is the best D&D setting ever. They totally rewrote the book on Paladins with the Templar class.

Do you like D100 / Basic Roleplaying?

Stop leaving five dislikes on my videos.

Excellent video, can't be clearer about the topic! I love the term "crispy games", I'm going to start using it, haha.

"He doesn't think that should happen. Holy fuck!!" I love your rants. I have this same pet peeve, but it's funny hearing it from someone else. 😂

I tend to agree with you. I play Powers & Perils and the deadly hits scare me... whether it is the risk of my character's weapon breaking or getting hit by a deadly and getting one-shot, especially from a rear or surprise attack.

Our table played Curse of Strahd for 5e and we voted on using the "Crunchy Crit" house rule for both players and monsters. It was a tonne of fun (for us), and there were moment where player characters almost got downed from full health. I am somewhere in the middle in this. House rules are fine, but they are at play, they should apply to everyone at the table. I do find low-damage crits to be a bit anticlimactic, but if the "Crunchy Crits" are at play, it is only fair that I get hit with crunchy crits as well. How people play depends between tables. No table is for everyone and noone enjoys every table.

Believe it or not, this book was my intro to Rolemaster. I worked for the printing company that produced it, back in the day. My manager knew I played RPGs and gave me one of the 'sample' copies. Had no idea what I was reading... naturally, I had to go buy the red box the next week. I was hooked....😊
