THAC0 is one of those D&D terms everyone thinks they understand. Confusing? Backwards? Obsolete? Or just remembered differently? In my latest video, I break down what THAC0 really was, which editions used it, & why it disappeared. ๐ŸŽฒ New video out now (Link in comments)

My new video is live. This one covers how early D&D tried to stat the gods, why those books existed, what got them into legal trouble, and how these strange old rules can still inspire campaigns today. Link to the full video in the comments. #DnD #TTRPG #dndhistory

D&Dโ€™s saving throws categories werenโ€™t arbitrary. They had a surprisingly clear logic behind them. If youโ€™ve ever wondered why the categories look so strange, the new video breaks it all down. ๐ŸŽฒ๐Ÿ‰ ๐Ÿ”—Link in first comment #DnD #TTRPG #DnDHistory

Before Ravenloft, horror already haunted RPGs. Four early games defined it: Call of Cthulhu, Chill, Stalking the Night Fantastic, and Beyond the Supernatural. Watch how they shaped the genre. Before Ravenloft: The First Horror RPGs on YouTube now (click below to watch!)

Veterans get used as props by politicians often and given lip service more often than not. Right now we have a veteran suicide crisis going on, and it has a LONG way to go. If you know anyone who is a veteran that has depression issues, reach out, say hi, talk to them. Don't
