As nostalgic as T1 is, I think the encounters are in general too much. Even if you adhere to the idea that players should use cunning, it's a grind at worst and a TPK at best with the numbers of enemies that are encountered. This is really a problem I've noticed with almost all old-school modules, but it's more prevalent in the low level ones because while it says like level 1-3, you're specifically told this should be for brand new 1st level PCs, and then the difficulty is such that a standard group of 1st level will be decimated unless you're running with like 12 PCs or a boatload of hirelings. Seems like there was a real disconnect back in those days, or it was on purpose to convey that adventuring is deadly but didn't do a good job IMHO. I'm not a fan of the later "CR" system, but the old modules seem even worse.

Finding i like the gamma world ACT table better, Zeb was the foundation but I am finding Gamma was a more refined. Critical hits other concepts that built on Zeb.

I liked how easy it was to add critical hits and Gamma world content to it. I am looking to start up a campaign though it has been years since I have done this. So it was nice seeing others who enjoyed it as well. I really wish they would move this to something like DnD beyond / Roll20

Tell me more....

I played Traveller, the original boxed set of three booklets, and I was totally lost, and overwhelmed, as the GM: no setting, no star systems map, I had to make everything up, on my own!!! It was impossible, even though I, and my players, loved the game system. Started watching Star Frontiers videos today... What a much better approach to Sci-Fi gaming, compared to Traveller! I love the maps, the counters, the simpler system. I also love the skills improvement system, over levels! To me, this is really a neat game system, better than Traveller, by leaps and bounds! I would love to run a Star Frontiers game -- I really would, but I can barely get friends together to play my 2e AD&D games (scheduling conflicts are extremely challenging, not that they lack desire to play). If I get into playing Sci-Fi, it will be Star Frontiers. Cheers!

Capitalism at its finest - owning something just so you can deny it to the world

Silks and brandy don't make much sense, given that Saltmarsh is a relatively small fishing village and those items are generally high-price items. Unless the haunted house is just, say, a half-way point to where the goods are really going.

Scott, I have the first 3 black label folios. I was trying to pick up 4-10 in the physical copies and the black label hardcover orange spine. I went to the Art of the Genre website, and all that’s available is 7-9. I then went to the indigogo, but I’d have to buy the first three again to get the set. Is there going to be a way in the future to order specific black label modules or will it only be available in the full set for purchase from now on. Also will the black label orange spine be on sale again.

I wish this guy would go into a little more detail.

I think the cover of the X7 module looks really cool. The module wants to players to visit "Suthus, Colhador, and Kron" The module doesn't care which order you visit them in. The princess is not keyed to either Suthus, Colhador, and Kron. The module says the DM oughta place the princess in the last place the party goes looking.

That’s sick thanks for this video

That fight in the trees is kind of insane as written. Gamemaster intervention is a necessity. As a player I probably wouldn't climb those trees if I knew the mechanics involved. First, my skeinsuit is already in shreds from SF-0, if I'm lucky I've still got it. Second, anytime you climb or descend you need to make a dexterity check or fall. My character is a bit of a sharpshooter with a dex of 65. Still, I have a 35% of falling some distance and I would anticipate changing elevation at least 6 times. Third, falling damage is 1-5 plus 1 per meter distance fallen. Unless I stay on those lowest trees I'm looking at taking 20+ or 30+ damage when I eventually fall. Last is sighting. It's difficult to see in those trees, you can see enemies adjacent to you but can also sight anything further if there are no empty green squares between you and it...nearly the entire map is full of trees (green). There are a few "brown" spots you can see across. whew! I've never played the module but I've read it dozens of times over the last 40 years and recently read it again. I loved your synopsis and your GM tips for this.

I'm a little late to the party. But want to let ya know. I loved this game back in the day. And I would LOVE to see it get the attention it deserves, but I have little hope it will come from WOTC.

Such a pleasant day at the shops and pubs.

Hi Scott, how do I get a hold of you? Email?

Sir- where did you get these maps? Love them

Love the Conan theme! You just cemented me running a one shot of it. I got the Conan minis from monolith I painted to use. I will use the 5e D&D and look at the FAST spells methods. Thanks!!! I actually play with David Zeb Cook that did the D&D Conan Against the Darkness module!

Liked this! Thinking about running it at NtRPG con maybe for Doug!

This is a young person we had many adventures with the osprey. And we even dominated a dralasite comedy club!

One of my favs of all time, JUST ordered my POD version.

Perkins map for this module seems lazy imo.

Wow! Awesome battle. Very cool adventure all the way. Love the selfless acts. Caranthir fating Tallesredd's crit and then the rescue vice-versa...great stuff. He's is still in a world of trouble though. That ring to summon a great eagle would be pretty handy about now. Very enjoyable campaign to watch.

Well was a fun one! I really liked Inzel's plan and how you let that playout. And the orc party, awesome scene. Well done everyone!

Excellent session! Very enjoyable!

L1 Secret of Bone hill has always been a go-to for me, if I used a module

More please! Geez, I thought the whole party was going to be wiped out there for a minute.

Tell the Woke Mob to go suck it. This is a great module!!!

You know you could make up a race yourself.

Write a good adventure. Be good at the story. You can do SciFi gaming WITHOUT the momentum being treasure or whatever. You just have to CREATE the incentive. Relying solely on 'treasure' to move your game forward is lazy even in the fantasy genre. Just because someone wrote variety into a book means you need to use it. I've been in fantasy games that only use the variety of the book and that 'murder hobo' garbage is what results...Write your own and I promise you, SciFi could be good too.

OMG are you ok lol?

LOL, you are serious. I was sure this was going to be parody!

So you could literally play 52 Pickup Artist. I wasn't sure where this was going at first but now I find it funny.

No outside US. :(

From what little I saw, none of the art is ai generated. Thank god, I want to support this now

Why!?...why are you encouraging the horny players?

Okay but lets be real B4: The Lost City is the real best module

Interesting. The bottom 3 are 3 of my favorite movies ever.. gonna have to look for the other two

So many great Fantasy films from the 80s. Always loved The Neverending Story. I remember wishing I could ride on Falkor as a kid. Willow was another I loved. I fear we'll never see such Fantasy movies ever made again.

Krull amd Legend are such good movies. I need to watch the other 2 now

Wait, what is this? How is he able to obtain a list of partially completed modules (fan-made content notwithstanding)?

I'm running a hexcrawl with half-mile hexes. The map is no bigger than 30x30 miles accross. I've stocked the map with B2, B5, T1 and N1 ^_^ I'm glueing together my paper miniatures, and looking forward to DMing after a long hihatus.

Have been playing MERP/RM since the beginning and love the fact that you guys are playing all my favorites . Keep going !! And thank you 🙏 Mae Govanen

Amazing video, hope to see more of you!

Nah bro those b modules are for basic not ad&d. ~Brian

Wait Conan’s sword was Atlantan ?

that wasn't the six fingered man's sword though.

I know that they aren't from any movie series, but four of my personal favorite swords are from the "Devil May Cry" game series. 1.The Legendary Demon Sword Sparda 2. Yamato 3. Alastor 4. The Red Queen Though the most interesting of them just might be The Red Queen in my opinion, not because it has some super badass powers but instead it's because of the fact that it's actually not a demonic weapon the way the other three are. Instead it's just a normal sword that was created specifically to slay demons that was somehow made to be SO hard and durable, that it's more or less unbreakable, with it being able to withstand brutal punishment that might easily break or even completely shatter other swords with zero issues on the sword's part. It also has a cool special feature called the Exceed System that lets it's wielder slice and dice through most demons like melted butter when it's activated by twisting the sword's grip like you would on a motorcycle's accelerator handle.
