If you've never had a Polish Haluski, it's essentially stir-fried cabbage and bacon tossed with egg noodles and a few basic seasonings. It's simple comfort food at its finest. So when St. Patrick's Day rolled around this year, I figured it would be an interesting Irish twist to give this classic Eastern European dish the Corned Beef & Cabbage treatment. Adding a touch of Better Than Bouillon Baked Ham Base gives it a beautiful, tasty kiss and, to make things even more lucky, I give you the op...| Pressure Luck Cooking
Auf meinem Discord entspann sich eine Diskussion weshalb AD&D 1 entstand und da diskutierten ganz sicher klügere Köpfe als ich. Aaaaaber ich werde mal versuchen zusammenzufassen, weshalb meiner Meinung nach neben D&D noch AD&D etabliert wurde. Okidoki. Seit 1974 gab es nun (Original)-D&D sowie 4 (eigentlich 5) Supplements dafür. Insgesamt also eine über mehrere Publikationen … „[Adventskalender 20] Weshalb entstand AD&D 1?

Isn't the reason we appreciate old-timey D&D due to the irresistible tool-kit nature of the darned hobby? Why not scrap everything you've bolted on to your games through the years and start over for a change? Expunge every house rule, borrowed rule or later-edition rule that might be ingrained in your current games. Disregard assumptions and disavow accepted theorems; solve problems on your own. This might sound illogical. Why ignore such hard-earned knowledge and know-how? To me the question...| Sham's Grog 'n Blog
Yesterday's post elicited a comment which inspired me to finally comb through my custom bestiary and make a proper OD&D style random Monster level determination procedure. Such a dice rolling convention is used not only for Wandering Monsters, but more importantly for randomly determined initial fills and restocking steps. In case you aren't familiar with the guide in Vol. III of the LBB, here's a scan of pages 10 and 11:| Sham's Grog 'n Blog

So I played D&D this past weekend for the first time in quite a little while. Recently I've been going through way too much sweating out the details and getting lost in the process with my new megadungeon campaign – to the point that I finally said screw it I just need to get this mofo started and see what happens. This has always been the best route in my experience, but I'm such a perfectionist that I often end up idling in neutral instead of simply flooring the damn thing and letting the...| Sham's Grog 'n Blog
