This is how I D&D
In the vast world of tabletop gaming, where imagination knows no bounds and chance reigns supreme, there exists a whisper among enthusiasts – a legend that has captured the curiosity of dice collectors and adventurers alike – the Mystery Dice Sets by the enigmatic Mystery Dice Goblin.
There are so many excellent indie table-top roleplaying games and supplements out there – ones that don’t get a lot of press or love.
That’s where this new series of posts comes in.
In issue 32 of d12 Monthly, I created a list of goals based on the classes listed in the Old School Essentials (OSE) advanced player’s guide. I did this with the help of Pete Lawson, whose idea this was originally.
I covered off the standard races-as-class in that issue, but didn’t have room for the more exotic ones. That’s what this post is all about.
Issue 32 of my Dungeons and Dragons zine, d12 Monthly, is out!
Issue 32 is the Classes issue. It will feature articles on kits, new multi-classing classes, the new Skald class, NPC classes, expanding secondary skills, and much more! (See below for details).
Oracles are an essential part of solo roleplaying.
They fill in the role of GM to a large extent, throwing up additions to the evolving story as we probe and ask questions of the world and the events within.
There are a few well-known oracles that take up whole books, filled with tables and outcomes, but what I want to promote here is a very easy to use, and fast, oracle which is not only versatile, but also completely free.
It involves a simple D6.

And solo roleplaying offers a unique and rewarding gaming experience that group sessions cannot give you.
Here are 12 reasons to start solo RPG.

Playing Dungeons & Dragons doesn’t need to cost the Earth. In fact, it doesn’t need to cost anything!
Well, once you have those funny math-rocks, that is.
But as far as rules go, you don’t need to spend $150+ on three rulebooks. In fact, this article will link to heaps of good rules for playing D&D for free.
Issue 30 of d12 Monthly, which is focused on deities and demi-gods, did just that: focused on developing a pantheon of gods for your Dungeons & Dragons game.
(I also have blog post that shows how I created my major pantheon as well).
However, there are other faith systems that characters, and whole societies, can worship and base their faith in.
