How to play Basic D&D

I’m moving away from running D&D 5e games and embracing Basic D&D from the 1980s—the sets I owned as a child but never learned how to play. In this video, I take you through the character sheet and how it highlights major differences between 5e and 1980s Basic.

I’m using the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia as my DM Guide. You can purchase a PDF or hard copy here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/produ...

Though I only mention it in passing in the video, I’m using all the Old School Essentials content for player references because OSE better communicates the rules than the old Cyclopedia. OSE’s free downloads are here: https://necroticgnome.com/collections.... Their complete site is here: https://necroticgnome.com/. And their SRD is here: https://necroticgnome.com/pages/about.... Keen viewers will realize I didn't actually create Kargor but that character comes from the OSE Rogues Gallery.

And yes, I know OSE is the Moldvay B/X not BECMI, don’t @ me, bro.
