Main Topic: DnD Weirdness


Exploring the weirdness of Dungeons. That they exist at all. Old school dungeons don’t stay empty


If you lean into the last point, empty dungeons don’t stay empty, it can serve the atmosphere of your game world. What fills the
dungeons? How is it filled? Why do dungeons not stay emptied? Answering these questions, some or all, can be a fun way to add depth and perhaps a dit of quirkiness to your game.Some related points:
Are the monsters attracted?
Are they spawned?
Does this impact the surrounding area?
Can the attraction/spawning cause overflow?
Where do these monsters come from?


Randy is convinced he is not an really an OSR player/DM.

Encumbrance
Resource tracking
ZERO to HEROHowever there many things to not like:1 HP PCXP charts w/insanely slow progression
Spell segments/weapon speed
THACO
Vancian Magic
