Jeffro - What is the #BrOSR? The #BrOSR is real D&D. It is AD&D played as intended. It is successful fantasy campaigns that just won’t quit. It is a fundamentally different type of play that is distinct from the conventional approaches to roleplaying that have dominated hobby gaming over the past forty years --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/support

AD&D PHB (1977, p. 76): Any creature at the edge (1’) of such a pit uses its dexterity score as a saving throw to avoid falling into the hole, with a score equal to or less than the dexterity meaning that a fall was avoided.

WotC's new VTT, Codename: Project Sigil, sure looks pretty. I'm not surprised that WotC firmly has the Baldu's Gate 3 Community solidly in their sights, but I was surprised to find them pitch Project Sigil for use with OTHER (unnamed) RPGs. Project Sigil begins around 12:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3RqehN6hS0 Looking to support The Tavern? Use our affiliate links and help yourself to some good stuff while helping The Tavern!

Members of the DnD Beyond community, and 2014 5e community, in particular, were heard by the powers that be at WotC. Late on a Sunday Nignt WotC announced a course change, and it is huge: "Players who only have access to the 2014 Player’s Handbook will maintain their character options, spells, and magical items in their character sheets. Players with access to the 2024 and 2014 digital Player’s Handbooks can select from both sources when creating new characters. Players will not need to rely on Homebrew to use their 2014 player options, including spells and magic items, as recommended in previous changelogs." https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1806-2024-d-d-beyond-ruleset-changelog-update?utm_campaign=DDB-PHB-2024-&utm_source=FACEBOOK&utm_medium=social&utm_content=14476792382 Looking to support The Tavern?

Yesterday, Rach and I talked a bit about consent at the gaming table. The conversation that has popped up about that cast has been amazing, both on YouTube and on Facebook, and thanks to that ongoing conversation, I think I missed something yesterday. Communication at the gaming table has to occur before consent can even be an issue, and part of that communication is being honest with your GM before the session even starts. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/support

Strangely enough, I find myself inching closer to X-Cards at the gaming table for organized play / convention games over completely removing themes that some may find triggering.
