Episode 41: Call Ins and Wild West RPG's

I talk about running a campaign based in one city.  Remember the Dungeon Crawl Classics  Lankhmar  is coming soon.  And I find out that Gnolls are actually a cross between Gnomes and Trolls.

This episode I rant about Dark Streets & Darker Secrets,  the newest game from Old Skull Publishing, a rules light RPG of Street & Sorcery.  If you want to do horror, or monster hunters or even urban fantasy.  You could do it with this RPG.  So give the rant a listen and check the link where you cn get the game. Roll dice, have fun, kill monsters, and take their stuff.

Make your own monsters or make your flavor of existing monsters.  As a DM you don't always have to follow exactly what the book says.  Remember rules are just guidelines and so are monster books.  Plus some interesting bits on Orcs from the original Little Brown Books. Roll Dice. Kill Monsters. Take Their Stuff. And Have Fun!

Catching up since we missed last week.  The episode is a rant converting adventures. Ignore the math.  Convert the meaning.  And keep it simple.  Plus a little catch up.  Thanks for listening and follow the blog at theymightbgazebos.blog or find us on Facebook at They Might Be Gazebos

I ramble about the best campaign ever. For me, that's the next one.  It's a time to get the creative juices flowing and play around with new ideas.  I talk about some of the possibles in the future and rant about Dark Streets & Darker Secrets a bit and it's Kickstarter. And this week we start reading from Volume 2: Monsters & Treasure of the Little Brown Books.

In this episode, I have a long rant about Labyrinth Lord and BX Essentials all thanks to a very good question from Joe the Lawyer. I have a sad moment about annoying and bad people at the table. And in the episode I finish up Volume 1 Men & Magic from the Little Brown Books. And stop by the blog at https://theymightbgazebos.blog/

More on Zweihander,  The Make Your Own Damned Retroclone Challenge and even more rants.  

I ramble on about grim dark and start thinking of running Zweihander, or Warhammer Fantasy or maybe something else in the future.  Plus a little update on the Labyrinth Lord game.   And we begin covering Cleric spells from the Little Brown Books.  

This week's episode is a bit short and a day behind.  Sorry about that.  In this episode, meet the characters from my Labyrinth Lord game. and their initial trials. Plus I rant a little bit about 6th level magic user spells from the Little Brown Books.

A quick and rambling episode. I talk a little about the new game from Old Skull Publishing, Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells. Complain about OBS's server migration. Read from the Little Brown Books and jump thru hoops to get ready for my next campaign.

A bit of ramble this week.  I talk a little about Thieves Guilds, Ethiopian Food, and we get a Call In!  Bonus still reading from the Little Brown Book. 

Mise En Place is cooking term. Basically, doing all your preparation beforehand. And that's what I rant about this episode.  Getting ready to run Advanced Labyrinth Lord and all the things I'm trying to get ready.

We've got your usual rants plus I talk about hazards in dungeons besides traps and monsters.  And the regular feature of a spontaneous reading from the Little Brown Books. This episode Level 2 Magic-User spells. 

I rant about my "system neutral" DM Notebook and how it's important and it's important to clean the thing out every once in a while. Also, continue with the reading from the Little Brown Books. This time up: 1st Level Magic-User spells.
