30 Day Dungeons & Dragons Challenge

Day 13 Favorite trap/puzzle

I’ve always enjoyed combining pit traps with oozes, either having the players fall into one or having one fall on top of them.

One time I ran a maze modeled after the lost woods from Ocarina of Time which was super fun.

MORE OLD TT FOOTAGE! YESS!!!

(Actual TT stuff starts in Part 2… Part 1 is mostly D&D)

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6GVntOTY9g
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awrXjGKcth8

Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson of Games Workshop explain Dungeons & Dragons to a young Ben Elton.
Well, you can’t get any more 1980s than this!
(Speed through the opening titles - they are very irritating) ;)

oldschoolfrp: Demons cower before the overlord in Melvyn Grant’s cover for Heroes for Wargames: Painting & Collecting Miniature Figures for Role Playing Games by Stewart Parkinson, Dragon’s World Ltd,. 1986. This book resembles a Games Workshop publication at first glance, since it is filled with paintings and illustrations from GW products, painted Citadel figures, and full pages copied from Citadel catalogs.  The text however includes a general history of gaming, a general description of role playing, and general advice on painting, with an emphasis on Games Workshop yet without mentioning the Warhammer name.  I remember seeing at least one other similar book around this time that paired a general text with full-color photos of Citadel/GW products, battle scenes, and dioramas.

hawkss: My character for dnd Tali has no concept of a race outside of her own since she grew up in a very closed thri’kreen monastery. None of her studies ever focused on other races so all she ever heard of was humans Intro to the names that Tali will be calling her companions. As a player I will have this sheet on me at all times to reference the people with whom I am travelling. Also Tali doesn’t understand hair. So no one gets drawn with hair. Thane’s beard doesn’t count.
