New book ALERT!

Time to celebrate some more 50 years of D&D with this wonderful publication on the history of the game and our beloved hobby.

We are playing #SwordsAndWizardry aka #ODnD for the most part these days and integrate all sorts of house rules from games like the #ShadowDarkRPG #OSE #Knave aka B/X D&D embracing the spirit of the 1970ies.

Can't wait to read it tonight!

Happy #MapMonday

Yeah, it's been a while since I posted the last #dungeonmap but here you go:

Just another #cairn and #fiveroomdungeon

It is the first #monster lair from the #hexmap of our #SwordsAndWizardry sandbox.

It's been two years that I've been running OD&D as written in 1974, the campaign taking place in my Dungeon23 megadungeon.

What have I learned? Read on!

https://chgowiz-games.etinerra.com/wp/2025/01/08/what-ive-learned-after-2-years-of-running-lbb-odd/

How I handle encumbrance in my OD&D/AD&D.

First, by Armor worn:
No armor - 12"/turn
Leather/Chain - 9"/turn
Plate - 6"/turn

If someone bears many weapons (more than four light, or two heavy weapons), or has a lot of gear, or carrying something obviously encumbering (like both hands on a chest full of gold), they move at next lower level.

The slowest move is 3"/turn.

I do allow adjustments for high strength - usually based on the "to hit" bonus.

Easy peasy.

"Sentient swords are actually a restricted form of spellcasting for non-caster classes. I think they're really important, that using them should generally not be a hassle, and neglecting to roll for them is a contributing factor to caster superiority."
