In this episode, I bring back an old series here on the channel by popular demand I&E! This episode I flip open the Monster Manual 2 and talk about the Catlord and how he can be used in your campaign as a possible "Big Bad" hidden in plain sight!

In this episode today, I ponder the question of a DM giving players advice during combat, warnings during play and if those players should listen to the DM. I also go over if a DM should give "bad or evil" advice to players and is that fair of him to do that?

#DMtips #dnd #RPG

On today's podcast I decided to take a look at another spell, starting with its AD&D 1e roots, and see how its evolved since then. The Armor spell in AD&D is often misused in my opinion and I wanted to clear up how it works exactly and then we take a look at Mage Armor, which is what the spell morphed into and compare it with 3e and 5e vs 1e. Which is superior, which works better? Tune in and find out!

In this episode I shine the spotlight on an often-overlooked spell called, Goodberry. Join me as I look at it from AD&D, and how its evolved through out the editions of D&D. Its a very versatile spell and it should be in every Druid's list of spells.

Welcome to my channel, they call me the "Evil DM" or "Evil Dungeon Master". They being my former players from back in the '80s, as I would go out of my way to twist words of wish spells, and place horrible traps in the player characters way as they stormed into things. So what will you see on this channel? Mostly Old School Stuff or OSR (Old School Renaissance) stuff. My main focus is to show older games such as Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1e, Ghostbusters d6, Star Wars d6, DC Heroes RPG, Palladium Fantasy, RIFTS and many more older games still have tons of fun left in them and just because its old doesn't mean its not good. I am here to show that love and hopefully spark ideas for those who watch my videos! Oh yeah you might see some Actual Plays and Let's plays. New videos weekly.
