Saving Throes # 106 - Pages Through the Ages: Making a Character - 0e

Red Rooster

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

In this episode of Pages Through the Ages, I am going to start a series where I will create a level 1 character from each edition of D&D starting from the beginning - the original 1974 boxed set with those 3 little manuals. Often referred to as the white box, this was where it all began. This episode is the start of a fun journey to see how this essential step of every D&D game has transformed over the past 50 years. I am limiting myself to only using resources that would have been available to me at the time of it's initial release, so in this case for example, in 1974 I would not have had internet access to try and get clarification on how certain rules are explained. Tune in to hear how my character turned out, and how fun it was to do this.
