On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
- A close encounter with an old-school D&D player left Alex with a lot to ponder. And so, we're discussing how older versions of D&D were played as opposed to the newer versions, what changed, why it changed and how everyone could benefit from the input of others. Open worlds, rich mechanics, grand storytelling, personal journeys, complex customization and more are on the table today.
- You may have noticed the word "Simulator" used quite frequently if you have ever visited a Steam homepage. But that means the games are all over the map in terms of what they do and why. So, we're going to try categorizing them for the sake of organizing them in our minds. From flight to goats, we must find a way to make these make sense.
- Have you ever thought about turning a ranger into a glass of water? Apparently someone back in the 2E days did and asked such a question in Dragon Magazine. One of the oddest questions Nathan has ever seen will require more analysis than that and so we try to figure out how you could actually do that. We likely failed.
