Adventure 157: The Myth of Old School Exceptionalism

Or is the old school experience what you make of it! We’ll talk about our own experiences. What we percieve as old school. What the gameplay ideas of the time were. And adding 37 to die rolls. Also! We will argue about torches a little more so stay till the end!

Customer Reviews
The Angry Monk
Top of the pops! Save or Die's cast of seasoned RPG veterans make this show very enjoyable. There reviews of games and products are thorough and well-balanced. Their guests are very enjoyable to listen to. This podcast is like wine...it gets better with age.
An OD&D podcast with focus
Very good podcast focusing on original D&D, which IMHO doesn't get enough love. One of the rare D&D podcasts that doesn't get bogged down in crunch (yes, I am talking about you, 4th edition podcasts). Also, check out Roll for Initiative.
great podcast for old-school D&D players
This is a great podcast for old-school D&D players - they talk about the rules, modules and monsters. A fun listen, great for the drive to work.
