In this episode, I go over how I deconstruct modules for my own use, whether in my campaign or as one-shots. This is how I get around the linear (and sometimes railroad) designs of many modules.

AD&D can be confusing on how to place treasures with creatures in the wilderness and dungeons, and what's up with all those letters for Treasure Types? In this episode, I go over how AD&D tries to lay this out, and what tips/tricks I use to make the process simple -- at least for me! Plus, I have a great call in from a new listener, Trevor! ---- Swords & Wizardry White Box, 3rd printing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByYame2Z2IBCeXljc3gzalNoMUE/view?resourcekey=0-eZQTyIFcjBcZH-L-pZ-94g (This does not have the great Mark Allen cover, as that was printed through Brave Halfling, which is no longer available). ---- Want to comment/ask questions?

Third time's the charm! I finally was able to get this episode recorded! In this episode, rather than talking about how I use Chainmail, I give some thoughts on how Chainmail, in some way, expects you to mold it into what you want to do with it. The companion blog post to this episode goes into some specifics of how I use Chainmail in my OD&D games: https://chgowiz-games.etinerra.com/wp/2023/06/13/chainmail-in-my-odd/ And you can find the amazing work that Daniel does with Chainmail and his OD&D games on his podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/02QTUpzgKCv2aT6sH6G5rk Two other great Chainmail resources that I mention: Compleat Chainmail - a discussion document/rules set of how to use Chainmail combat within an OD&D game. This was my main source of inspiration for modifying Chainmail for use within OD&D. Grognard - a “retroclone” of Chainmail, organizing the rules into a more coherent and modern layout.
