Here to share D&D history along with promoting Classical D&D play as a simple way to create immersive adventure.

I am widely and proudly known as a Toxically Nostalgic Grognard.

Official bad humor appreciator.

Let's talk about Elf Games!

I am barely here.

Doing Social Media takes up time better spent watching my garden grow.

You can contact me more easily on that other platform.

You can also leave messages on my videos.

Right now I am supporting this bundle of classic RPG material.

As we continue with our extensive research into role playing games, we feel we must share this new discovery with you.

This is a real photograph of the Founding Fathers signing the Declaration of Dungeons & Dragons.

The internet is an amazing tool.

Everything you see is real.

I can't help it.

The new RPG art that is curated via a style sheet of do's and dont's, makes vomit come up in my mouth.

This is from Arduin Grimoire.

Simple and evocative black and white art, that usually showed your character getting brutally murder by a monster.

I will die on this hill.

The Fellowship of the Thing presents another Classic Dungeons & Dragons / RPG tutorial video.

In this show I talk about using simple home made charts to make your catacombs less predictable.

The link has a PDF you can use, as is, or change to whatever pleases you.

Another video where I talk about how to create cities for your RPG on the fly based on actual city maps.

IMHO RPGs are best when you DIY most of it yourself.

Like anything, the more you do it the better you get.

I have a dumb sense of humor.

So much drama in gaming.

Most of the OSR crew has a sense of humor.

Our ability to self mock goes to 11.

Game night is rife with bad puns and silliness.

We're here to have fun.

Continuing with the dungeon creation series, as I talk about monster and treasure charts in original Dungeons & Dragons.

I really feel that RPGs are about having fun and keeping things simpler is the route that goal.

You can see the video here:

What do you use as Inspiration for your games?

Are you using RPG Splat Books, or some other source for your Dungeons & Dragons, or any other setting?

Another video in a series on creating DIY dungeons has just been posted.

Check it out!

I spent my weekend playing games at DaveConMN.

It was really small, which is the kind of convention I do love dearly.

Hoping to hit more small local cons this year.

The players in my last session were stellar and we played an amazing game together.

In Dungeons & Dragons, or any other RPG for that matter, there is one strong indicator that the adventure is a railroad.

It comes from early CRPGs.

But can you guess what it is?

Gold Stars will be awarded 🌟

Once the answer has been revealed we may then argue! 😆

I like the dialogue I have with people who watch our Youtube channel.

People ask questions and I offer advice, and people also offer useful advice which I tuck away in my brain for future use.

The comments are always interesting.

40+ years and I'm still learning.
