#RIFTS #Palladiumbooks #RPG

In today's episode I take a look at some optional rules in RIFTS, called backgrounds, and go over it giving some examples and how using random roll charts likes these to help build a solid character background for RIFTS and pretty much any game if you come up with a method like this!

#XMen97 #FASERIP #RPG

In this episode of the podcast, I was going through my books and I saw a X-Men Adventures comic book I had in with my various FASERIP books. It made me remember the time I was playing FASERIP during the '90s and we were heavily leaning on the X-Men cartoon as inspiration and I was reading these comics at the time to help me get into the mood of the games.

#Dungeonsanddragons #DMTips #OSR

In today's episode, I wanted to go over a cursed item and talk about ways you can use it in your campaign as an interesting plot device or story arc.

p141 of the AD&D Dungeon Master Guide:

Crystal Hypnosis Ball: This cursed item type is indistinguishable from o normal crystal ball, and it radiates magic but not evil, if detected for. Any magic-user attempting lo use it will become hypnotized, and a telepathic suggestion will be implanted in his or her mind The user of the device will believe that the desired object was viewedj but actually he or she became partially under the influence of a powerful magic-user, lich, or even some power/being from another plane, Eoch further use will bring the crystal half gazer more under the influence of the creature., either as a servant, tool, or possession object. As referee, you must decide whether to make this a gradual or sudden affair according to the surroundings and circumstances peculiar to the finding of the crystal hypnosis bail and the characters locating it.

#Twilight2000 #roleplayinggames #osr
This video should have gone out this weekend, but the feed messed up, so you get two episodes today.

In today's episode, I pull out Twilight 2000, and talk about a campaign I ran one summer for my buddy and we had his character learn a new language in game, because it made sense, and its an example of how you can have one of your characters learn something new while in the game and not use a leveling method or buy system.

#Dungeonsanddragons #OSR #RPG

In this episode, I flip open to the Player's handbook and discuss the idea of Negotiation & Communication as written by Gary Gygax in AD&D. How I as a DM enjoy when players find a way to talk out a situation instead of just fighting. I found it interesting that its a small little paragraph in the Player's Handbook and its something I've probably missed because of skim reading

#Dungeonsanddragons #Adnd #RPG

I am going to title this episode "Careful what you wish for.." as I open up the AD&D Oriental Adventures book and look at the Gem of Wishes on p 134. It reminded me of a wacky story when I was running a game, and what happened when three characters decided to use the wishes they found.

Gem of Wishes: This large gem looks like any other fine gemstone. However, it reveals itself as a magical item if a detect magic is used. It has the power to grant 1-4 wishes. Once all wishes have been granted, the gem loses all magical properties. The gem itself has a value of 100-1000 ch’ien

In this episode I decided to share a gaming session I had with my wife this weekend. We played the D20 Spycraft roleplaying game by Crafty Games with the 1960s decade supplement. Her character was the witty and sexy Jane Powers, trying to stop "The Baron" from his master plot of triggering a nuclear war.

In this episode I talk about Figurines of Wondrous Power which was originally in the AD&D 1e DMG. I go over each and talk about how you can use them in any fantasy game or edition of D&D. They are ripe for an interesting story on how you can use them, Maybe this can be RFI Mini #16?

Welcome to my channel, they call me the "Evil DM" or "Evil Dungeon Master". They being my former players from back in the '80s, as I would go out of my way to twist words of wish spells, and place horrible traps in the player characters way as they stormed into things. So what will you see on this channel? Mostly Old School Stuff or OSR (Old School Renaissance) stuff. My main focus is to show older games such as Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1e, Ghostbusters d6, Star Wars d6, DC Heroes RPG, Palladium Fantasy, RIFTS and many more older games still have tons of fun left in them and just because its old doesn't mean its not good. I am here to show that love and hopefully spark ideas for those who watch my videos! Oh yeah you might see some Actual Plays and Let's plays. New videos weekly.
