Join the boyz as we wind down for a few minutes immediately after the session ended!

In relation to the events of the session, we chat about combat as war, mutual trust between players and referee, free-form skills, traps as puzzles rather than surprises, recommended levels for Arden Vul, and high level domain play!

In relation to the events of the session, we chat about the massive scope of Arden Vul, how Jon navigates the adventure on the fly, the evolution of Jon's refereeing style over the years, and Richard Barton's design intentions with this seminal megadungeon!

3d6 DTL is a tabletop roleplaying game actual play series, with a focus on the Old School Revival (OSR) of classic Dungeons & Dragons and its simulacra. We have none of the ego-facing, performative aspects, but all of the easy rapport displayed naturally by a group of old friends. Listen to how D&D is actually played!
