Why AD&D Is Still the Gold Standard....

Why is the AD&D called the gold standard? In this video, I break down why Gary Gygax’s classic book still stands above so many games that came before & after it. This game was a toolbox packed with random tables, world building advice, campaign structure, treasure systems, timekeeping, encounter design, and hard lessons on how to run a living world. It expected the DM to think, rule, create, and lead. We look at what made it so useful, why people still return to it, and what modern Dungeon Masters can still learn from it today.Keep up with me: https://solo.to/theevildm

Bonus Episode - Let’s Chat About Gold for XP in AD&D

Gold for XP is not just an old rule. It is the engine that drives how the game actually plays. In this episode, we break down what happens when experience is tied to treasure instead of kills. Players stop chasing fights. They start making smarter calls. They explore with purpose, avoid bad encounters, and focus on getting in and out alive. You will hear how this one rule shifts pacing, decision making, and the feel of the dungeon without changing anything else. If your table feels stuck in combat loops, this is the fix that might change everything. #ADnD #TabletopRPG #DungeonMaster

AD&D is Not Fair... That's the Point!

AD&D does not balance encounters around your party. It never tried to. The world exists as it is, and you walk into it whether you are ready or not.In this video, I break down why that design choice matters. You can meet something far above your level. You can run into weak threats that waste your time. You can walk into a situation that forces you to think instead of fight. Even the rules define a “monster” as anything encountered, not just something meant for combat. There are no safe zones. No scaling. No guarantee that you should win. That forces you to scout, plan, negotiate, or run. It creates tension that newer systems often remove.

The AD&D Druid Was Never Just a Nature Cleric

The AD&D 1st Edition Druid is often treated like a Cleric with trees, animals, and a few nature spells. That misses the point.In this episode, I look at what made the Druid different. True Neutral alignment. Limited weapons and armor. Terrain control. Strange spell choices. A class structure built around balance, hierarchy, and challenge.The Druid was not here to heal you. The Druid was here to control the field and keep the world in balance.Keep up with me: https://solo.to/theevildm

Thoughts on Final Night Storyline & DC Kickstarter is ending..

The Final Night is a 1996 DC crossover storyline where heroes must save Earth from an alien entity, the Sun-Eater, which threatens to engulf the sun, plunging the planet into eternal winter. This dramatic tale blends superhero action with human emotion and highlights the importance of unity in the face of catastrophe. Written by Karl Kesel and illustrated by Stuart Immonen, it serves as both a gripping disaster narrative and a pivotal moment in the DC Universe. https://www.dc.com/blog/2024/12/13/the-final-night-is-the-dc-universe-s-disaster-movie

Hugo Strange: The Forgotten Files

In the premiere episode of The Forgotten Files of Hugo Strange, we turn the lens inward. Not on a rogue. Not on a masked vigilante. But on the man behind the mirror, Doctor Hugo Strange himself. Long forgotten yet quietly foundational, Strange isn’t just another villain in Gotham’s orbit. He’s the one taking notes. Watching. Obsessing. We track his strange evolution from 1940 pulp scientist to psychological predator, exploring how his quiet presence lingers in the shadows of both comics and RPG campaigns. What makes him so dangerous? Why doesn’t anyone remember him? And how can game masters use that to their advantage? This isn’t just a character study. It’s a diagnosis.And the patient... is Gotham. Welcome to the file. Strange is expecting you.
