Comments on: Show 1 – A Primer on Old-School Gaming http://rfipodcast.com/show/2009/12/06/hello-world/ A weekly podcast about 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:26:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Keith http://rfipodcast.com/show/2009/12/06/hello-world/comment-page-1/#comment-10981 Keith Tue, 30 Aug 2011 02:15:12 +0000 http://rfipodcast.com/show/?p=1#comment-10981 Just a quick comment to say Im listening to your shows..... Im up to episode 10... Great show... Im a 2nd edition player and I just wonder why you like 1st more than 2nd... I dont have a lot of experience with 1st. I find the 2nd edition very compatible with first edition and played several 1st edition modules. 2nd suits me better because I like flexability, so many optional rules. Also, most importantly I like the 2nd editions take on monsters. I think 2nd edition went away from demons and the monsters feel more classic. I love the new dragons that is my #1 thing Id change if I was to play ODD. I love the revamped dragons though my players never encountered them ;) Im going to start playing again very soon and I hope you guys keep up the good work with the show :D Just a quick comment to say Im listening to your shows…..

I'm a very late discoverer of gaming in general and RPG's in particular. I've played DnD 3.5 a few times and I'm very eager to start my own group as DM. As such I'm heavy into researching for this project as I don't have 20 years of gaming behind me to draw from. I really want to play something less rules intensive than 3.5 and I've kind of decided on Castles & Crusades, which has many similarities, (so I'm told) to the old-time DnD. I'm very happy to discover your excellent show. I'm sure I'll be drawing lots of inspiration and helpful hints from your episodes. WhosThere57 Hi guys.

This is terrific, guys. It was also a brilliant decision to kick off with Finch's Old School Primer. I always give copies of that to anyone interested in OS gaming. I also like the fact that Vincent and Jayson seem to have different gaming styles (gritty, rules-based vs. improvisatory, narrative). I can see the potential for a Scully/Mulder-type counterpoint there that could give your show an interesting dynamic that is missing from other RPG podcasts where the hosts all share the same tastes.

Have either of you ever played 6e- it's a variant on 3rd edition play that's intended to recreate the feel of low level play, using 3rd edition rules? And if so, how did it do, as compared to actually playing 1st edition? I realize there are many differences, I'm just asking about the atmosphere of the game.

If you have experience podcasting, or in recorded media, it shows. I appreciate the format, i.e. breaking up the show with Creature Feature, Dragons Horde, Game Mechanics...etc. it makes it easy to jump back to a specific area of the show. I had previously read the old time gaming primer. I appreciated hearing your take on it. Keep it up. Hey guys, very good first show. If you have experience podcasting, or in recorded media, it shows.
