Just watching Heroes Of Jordoba

If you haven't checked out Matt's channel yet, I suggest you do if you like watching D&D on youtube.  For me it's wonderful to have something like this on in the background while I'm working.  As well, I really like Matt's idea for the dungeon being a city that was basically destroyed (by a Volcano?).  It's an underground city, I'm totally borrowing this idea.

In some of Matt's other videos he plays OD&D, but in this series they are playing Fifth Edition.  But honestly listening to them, it feels and sounds like Old School to me.  Except for the occasional mechanic question.  In this video the sync crapped up, but it's totally fine as I'm a theatre of the mind guy.  You should check out the crazy mini camera action that Matt does though!

Apparently they all rolled up characters using the 3d6 method, which is great.  Matt is winging it like a good old school DM.  You can tell that he's ran games for a long time, as he just rolls with the punches.

This to me is what a group should be like, this is what my old school group was like.  Laughs, not jumping from room to room to quickly, carnage, a few terrible jokes that will probably become a "thing", and everyone having a good time.

BTW I'm amazed at Zak's rolling! The guy was rolling 20's all night.  (Well I think he had one one).

Your probably living under a rock

I'm sure you know about this already, but if you don't.  The rules cyclopedia is now available thru drivethru (this has been the long awaited thing).  You can get it in dead tree format as well!

You know who else is busy? +Venger Satanis.  He just released "Dead God Excavation" and he is currently running a kickstarter for a Battle Star Trilogy Trek Wars (a supplement for Alpha Blue).  Speaking of Venger I wrote a review of "Players Handbook Like A Fucking Boss" you can check it out here.  I also have to get to reading Dead God, Venger was kind enough to send me a copy.

As for me, I finished up the "Off the wall hex crawl" vanilla weirdness fantasy that's system neutral.

I'm hoping to do an edit on "Dusty Door" after the playtest is finished.  You can watch the awesomeness of +God Emperor Leto II during the first session (subscribe to his channel to, he puts out some great stuff).

Also we are all working on "The return of the blue baron part deux", if you are up for writing a room come on over and check it out!

I'm onto working on paperwork stuff, and listening to the "Swords Of Jordoba" by the wonderful +Matt Finch Here is episode 3.
