AD&D - Heroism in a Bottle, Boost your Fighter!

02/10/25 • 10 min

Need to hit harder, take more damage, and feel like a legend—at least for a little while? Today, I'm talking about thePotion of Heroism and Super-Heroism, the magic drinks that temporarily boost fighters to new heights. More hit dice, better combat skills, and a shot at surviving that impossible fight. But is it a game-changer or just a delay of the inevitable?

AD&D - The Chaos of Casting Stone to Flesh, Storytime!

In this episode, I am talking about AD&D spell Stone to Flesh spell, exploring its mechanics, its potential uses in gameplay, and of course, the chaotic consequences of casting it recklessly. I share a wild tale from one of my campaigns, where a low-level magic-user decided to use a scroll of Stone to Flesh to resurrect a petrified warrior. Spoiler alert: it did NOT go as planned. What started as a heroic attempt to save a cursed half-orc turned into a nightmare of a pulsating meat swamp, an angry resurrected warrior named Grugnar, and the unexpected arrival of a horrifying meat golem.

It’s a hilarious, chaotic tale packed with lessons about spell mechanics, player creativity, and the unpredictable beauty of tabletop RPGs. Tune in for laughs, storytelling, and a reminder of just how wild these games can get!

AD&D - Hex Mapping is loads of fun!

Today on the podcast, I decided to talk about my experiences with Hex mapping, and how I've kind of ignored it over the years and now that I've started actually doing it, I've fallen in love with the entire concept of it. P173 of the AD&D DMG has a whole process about how its done, but you don't have to stop there as there is a plethora of resources on drivethrurpg about how to Hex map.
