A podcast that takes classic Role Playing Game adventures and rules sets and looks at renovating them for a “modern” game design perspective.
In this 2nd part of Episode 8, we cover 2 quick pieces of listener mail and finally get into the famed "Q1: Queen of the Demon Web Pits." There are a few great "renovations" that shake out as we discuss how to make it a little more "playable," and we do a Geek Credit segment where the Wedded-Duo take on Luau Lou's random spider-related questions...
Despite preparing for a grand discussion on "Q1: Queen of the Demon Web Pits," our long hiatus has weighed us down with lots of listener mail -full of great questions about RPG styles, terms, and a personal favorite: monster encounters! So, we cut this recording as part 1 and will return soon with our This Ol' Dungeon treatment of Q1... In the mean time send us more mail!!!! Write to "thisoldungeon@gmail.com" or catch us on our Facebook page.
Thanks to Lawrence Schick, Allen Hammock, and Mike Monaco we have more to say about this interesting work by Tom Moldvay!
We have the delight of co-hosting with Ben Burns of New Comet Games. We talk about his journey into game design and publishing as well as taking a loo at an old favorite of his, "Lords of Creation" from Avalon Hill circa 1984...
In this episode we take on the old WEG Star Wars RPG adventure anthology, “Instant Adventures.”
Thomas and Briggy are back! We have a lengthy discussion about this old D&D Expert module -including asking the question, 'How do you get rid of the 900 pound racist gorilla in the room?" when it comes to this module's representation of Pygmy-style peoples. -But don't worry, we keep it mostly lighthearted.
Well, we're still a bit on hiatus from our regular shows. Luau Lou is on this one talking it up about this year's Virtual Gamehole Con. We hope to get back to our review and dissertation on modules and rule sets soon...
In this recording, Luau Lou talks with artist and old friend, Christopher Tupa (of http://ctupa.com/Art_by_Ctupa/Home.html) about his life and art. Christopher has done lots of work within the comic and illustration world as well as many of his own projects and few of Luau Lous! (Century's Edge Role Playing Game and the up-coming Dare-Luck Club Role Playing Game). Visit his sites -you won't be disappointed!
This was our first episode -a test of our equipment an explanation to you our faithful listener of what we've come to do...
Fiasco to say the least... Bad audio quality, depressed hosts, and a miscommunication that has us trying to do Against the Slave Lords (Scourge of the Slave Lords) and Against the Giants AT THE SAME TIME!!! -So... Instead we talk about tournament gaming... Bear with us!
