AD&D - Hex Mapping is loads of fun!

02/12/25 • 12 min

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.

AD&D - Let's talk about training for new levels

Today I wanted to discuss the mechanics of gaining experience levels in a role-playing game, emphasizing that experience points are merely indicators of a character’s progress and do not automatically lead to level advancement. The Dungeon Master (DM) plays a crucial role in assessing the character’s performance based on their class and alignment. The performance is rated alphabetically, and this rating impacts the character’s eligibility for leveling up. The character must undergo training, which incurs both time and monetary costs. Training must be conducted under a qualified mentor of the same class, and self-training is more expensive. Overall, the process of gaining levels is a structured approach that requires both effort and resources.
