I’m not your typical dice goblin. I don’t collect dice with numbers on them. I like special use novelty dice with graphics on them! #ttrpg #ttrpgs #dice #noveltydice #dnd #adnd #bxdnd #osr #osrrpg

Fun Fact: In the 1970s and 80s, TSR published the maps for their D&D adventures in blue to prevent piracy. This specific color of blue wouldn’t copy on analog optical photocopy machines. Today, D&D maps in “non-photo blue” are easily reproduced with scanners or digital copiers. New adventure maps in this blue are now only done for aesthetic purposes and nostalgia’s sake. #ttrpg #ttrpgs #dnd #adnd #bxdnd #tsr #tsrhobbies #tsrinc #1980s

"Tucker's Kobolds" from 1987 is about giving weak #dnd monsters (honestly) excessive tricks including traps. It's a meme now, picked up on YouTube.

Looking through editions, there are zero references to kobolds using traps before it. #odnd just says they are weaker than goblins, basically the crappest humanoid. #adnd1e has them just fighting. #bxdnd says they "ambush". All before 1987. But #adnd2e (1989) has heavy reference to traps for them. TSR eating their own memes.

I never liked #BXDnD back in the day. "Why would I want 'basic' when there's 'advanced'?" I asked myself. Now I know that all the stuff that annoyed me about #DnD was mostly just AD&D and WotC-era "innovations".

1E+: The invisibility spell makes a creature invisible until it attacks. Here are 6 paragraphs of legalese to define the precise meaning of "creature", "invisible", & "attack".

BX: You're invisible until you attack. You know damn well what that means! If you don't, ask the DM.

This morning on the way to school, my kid asked me what version of #DnD is the "Honor Among Thieves" movie based on. He's only played #bxdnd via #OldSchoolEssentials so I wasn't sure if I should get into all the editions in the short time we had.

Luckily, he got distracted by telling me about his idea for a druidic lich so I didn't have to explain the tangled mess of OD&D, BX, BECMI, AD&D1E, AD&D2E, 3E, 3.5E, Pathfinder, 4E, 5E...

I'm just getting into solo play, and I'm looking to run a dungeon with OSE + Solo Heroes.

I'm thinking of using B1 In Search of the Unknown, but does anyone have any other recommendations for relatively simple OSR dungeon to run through? Does not have to be made for solo play. I'm looking to play through some classics using BX / OSE

@stephenwendell I agree that newer editions (looking at you, 5e) impose checks on nearly everything. And I like being free of that in BX/ #OSE, but I still find roll-under ability checks useful in situations involving feats of dexterity, attempts to deceive or persuade, and certain kinds of detection. (Spoiler alert: if the check uses a prime requisite, players roll with (gasp!) advantage.) #dnd #bxdnd
