      This was always one of my 2 favorite boardgames of all time (the other being Talisman)
      I first sat down and played D&D in 1978, on My 7th birthday, when I got it as a hand-me-down from My mother and stepfather, who had bought the original pamphlets thinking they might like it, but never had time to play. Needless to say, me and my friends ate it up. That same year, I also got the Dungeon Boardgame for Christmas, considering the success of the other present, and again, me and my friends...

      An excellent interview, and an excellent game as well. Mr. Megarry is a gentleman and a scholar.

      The important part for any undead is a focus on the "rule of three". Why are they undead. What is their desire. How do they naturally expire. Zombies, skeletons, and ghouls are most often times made by necromancers, gods or very corrupt magical areas. Their desires are what their master bids or wonton destruction and death "mindless murder" being the key. They all expire when the magic or power that made them expires. Vampires liches are different in that they either choose or resolve that...

      If a Wight or Wraith kills a living being that being becomes a Wight or Wraith but it does NOT have the ability to create any more of its kind. AKA they are a lesser Wight or Wraith. It keeps the threat of being turned into something so horrible but stops the perpetuation craziness.

      I agree. Too many rules make game play heavy, if I am correctly following Thane. In combat, after attacking, your either passively defending - using your AC and armor and practical defensive moves prevent damage. Actively defending takes additional focus which may take an actual action. Doing some other action or actively trying to do something else like trying to heal someone, hide, or casting a spell. This modality of thinking is similar to the way I was thinking for the Combat Module blog

      I think this is the important distinction to be made. If an element can cross the boundries of more than one of the three primary listed elements (exploration, roleplay, combat) then it is not a primary element. It is a secondary or tertiary one, much like colors on a color wheel. The main three are the red, blue and yellow of the D&D system, and with them one can combine them to make anything they want. Such is the way with puzzles, which can possibly hold all three primary elements within...

    It's a goblin from the AD&D 1st edition Monster Manual page 47.

    Love your profile icon. Is that from the AD&D DM's Guide or Player's Handbook. It's so familiar.

    It's my goal to have guests on as many shows as possible. There are some instances where I get review copies of a product that not everyone has, so I might do those episodes solo, but more often than not these days I get a little help from my buddies in the blogging community. I'm so happy I met up with those guys in the last year or so. This last year of the show has it going exactly where I always dreamed it would be.
