For a "high fantasy" setting I've always liked the idea of airships, particularly like this one from Dragon #91. However, in practice, I've never really used them as I've tended to run more lower-magic settings.

The debate rages: Is Metamorphosis Alpha sci-fi or fantasy?

Plus, a look at the roots of RPGs with Star Probe & Star Empires.

Watch my new video & share your thoughts!

Yo Achievers! My artist buddy Bill Green (of Bill Green Studios)
crushed this comic book style poster for Achiever Fest (think classic Thor vibes).

He's a huge Lebowski fan & the official artist for years! Check it & the fest out!

That is so cool to hear! I love hearing stories about how games were being played by the old TSR staff, especially ones that weren't published by TSR.

Definitely! I remember the old 70's live action show on Saturday Mornings, and while I understand all the marketing and legal issues of calling him "SHAZAM" now, I think it's goofy considering there's still a "Mary Marvel" & I think a "Captain Marvel, Jr."

🎲🐉A second video this week, to talk about the legacy of James M. Ward, who passed away earlier this week. James' TTRPG contributions include Deities & Demigods, Gamma World, & so much more.

What are your favorite works that James created?

🎲🕵️‍♀️The first Espionage RPG, Top Secret, debuted in 1980. It was TSR's 6th RPG & held a 100% share of the spy genre for 3 years until 3 new games, including James Bond 007, debuted in 1983.

Learn about all of them in my latest video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5Us...

🎲☢️New Video: Gamma World!

I'm really excited about this one. GW was the 2nd RPG I ever played. I also talk about Metamorphosis Alpha (GW's predecessor) & the general environment of the Cold War that led to so many post-apocalyptic RPGs.

I had MSH and TMNT, but in the late 80s or maybe early 90s I let a friend borrow TNMT, then forgot about it and never got it back!

🎲🐲We've all had DMs who make "questionable" decisions. I talk about some of my worst stories & lessons I've learned. Included: my 23+ year campaign & a peak into my campaign notebook. Bonus: a custom cocktail I made for D&D's 50th Anniversary!

We often talk about the first TTRPG we played, but what about your SECOND? What'd you play next, & WHY? Mine was the post-apocalyptic GAMMA WORLD, by TSR.

Friends introduced me & I was immediately struck by how similar it was to the Thundarr the Barbarian cartoon. I loved creating mutants!

These are great! Thanks for sharing! I also used to run a game for tween girls (still run the game but they are full-fledge teens now!) and many of your anecdotes remind me so much of my game! Cheers!

Thank you for watching to catch that! And thanks for sticking through the Bonus Content. I kind of geeked out a bit on Coltrane this time.

🎲🐉I just uploaded a new video in which I discuss DM tips and advice as it relates to the game I run for my 14yo daughter and her friends. I cover stuff like adding tension, involving players more, & 2 of our players moving away.

I just saw this news as well and immediately thought of you. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I recall interacting with both of you in the comments to see of your old Tweets on Twitter. Traveling mercies to her.

I've got 1, 2 and 4. I never got 3 for some reason, and specifically didn't get "5" because I started reading with issue #76 and subscribing starting with #90, so by the time they got to Volume V, I had all the original articles! Still have them all.

The mall in Montclair, California was my closest local mall when I was in High School! I took a date to the Black Angus there once! (Not kidding).

I liked "Dwarves of Rockhome" and "Orcs of Thar" from the Gazetteer series. Other than that, I really enjoyed the "Point of View" series by Roger E. Moore in Dragon magazine!

🎲🐉Do you remember the Jester class? How about the Death Master, Bounty Hunter, or Cloistered Cleric?

I chat about all these & more in my latest video on "forgotten" D&D classes. Many would make great 5E subclasses or backgrounds!
