We finish playing through the classic Gygaxian module, T1: The Village of Hommlet.
Unfortunate note: our mic input was apparently on the wrong setting, and so Daniel and Tim sound like they’re in the next room. 😐

We figure out how grappling interacts with dodging. Namely, dodging doesn’t affect grapple attempts (because, while it is an attack action, it does not involve an attack roll). So if one of your players is tanking up in a chokepoint, grab em and drag em outta there.
We continue playing through the classic Gygaxian module, T1: The Village of Hommlet. The second half has us discussing why Daniel is running the game the way he is, and Daniel gives a dubious genealogy of D&D.

We recap a mostly successful incursion into the moathouse.
And we have a new player! Romil joined us for his first RPG session ever. I’m sorry that it had to be with us.

We continue our playthrough of Gygax’s Village of Hommlet with a (mostly) successful incursion into the moathouse.
And we have a new player! Romil joined us for his first RPG session ever. I’m sorry that it had to be with us.
We talk about why Daniel is making everyone make strength checks to open doors. It’s because he’s an ultra-orthodox Moldvayan.
We also mention the Order of the Stick; you may find it amusing.

Erratum: John consulted with a “snake expert,” who said that snakes would not feast upon a dead body, as Daniel ruled in this game. Sorry, players: next time you’ll have to come up with alternate tactics.
After the blow-by-blow of session 1, we discuss railroading vs sandboxes, emergent narrative, and how the medium can shape the story.
