Tavern Chat

I often hear folks talk about how "today is their cheat day", so they can eat whatever they want, smoke, drink, avoid exercise, etc - simply put, they are looking for an excuse not to succeed. You should reward success, not fool yourself into thinking you can succeed via cheating. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

I've always felt that gameplay broke down fairly fast after achieving name level in AD&D 1e, as that is where casters fully come into their own, and fighting classes are still useful as more than meat shields. But how do you satisfy the urge of your players for higher-level spells and other abilities? Scrolls, of course! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support
