S02 E10 Bards - Class or Background?

Matt Finch takes full ownership over S&W rules and what that looks like.

I personally don't care for the Bard class, and I'll offer my explanation. Is it problematic as a class? should it be a background story to a great character? Do any of these new classes need to be a class? #Bard #dungeonsanddragons #classes You can reply here on Anchor or at http://MaximumHP.com under the podcast section.

Character Creation in Labyrinth Lord Dungeons and Dragons basic character creation sounds brutal for any RPG, with just 3d6. This episode I take a close look at Labyrinth Lord RPG and how characters are rolled up and share thoughts on why it works and how I've played it. A correction: I mention monster Hit dice as D6, it is actually D8. You can reply here on Anchor or at http://MaximumHP.com under the blog section.
