Tales of Mystara - Castle Mistamere

Tales of Mystara - Castle Mistamere

Here is the complete first adventure of my solo DnD campaign using the BECMI rules. The campaign is set in the official Dungeons & Dragons Mystara campaign setting and the adventure takes place in Castle Mistamere. This adventure was published in the Dungeon Master's rulebook of the Dungeons & Dragons Redbox Basic Set, the first set in the BECMI rules.

The progression is apparent as you listen through so bare with me as I really feel this improves as it goes along.

    Hi Tom. I hope you are well. I am currently creating a story about 6 heroes, 5 of which are following 1, the cleric, of the group who had a vision from his deity. Tasking him to go in search of a magical sword known to exist in ruins in the wilderness. I would not have this joy without your efforts. Thank you. I look forward to your content. Listening to you explain your rules and tell your story is a joy.

      Thanks Michael, that means a lot :) always happy to hear the rules have helped somebody have fun with their own games. How is the story going so far? I'm hoping to expand on these rules in the future with a newer tutorial series that will cover the basics in more detail and expand on them.

    Hi Tom-- I've enjoyed the Tales of Mystara podcast as a podcast. I know you've continued adventures on your YouTube channel, but is there any chance you'll make those episodes available as podcasts?
    Thanks

      Hi Justin. Sadly I have no plans at the moment to distribute my OD&D and 5E stuff as podcasts purely because it would cost me money to host them and would take time to handle them across the different platforms. I do plan to do a further series of Tales of Mystara in the future though. As I use free hosting for that I am limited to 5 hours of audio but I plan to archive the older episodes (which will remain on YouTube) and upload a further series. I probably won't get round to recording it until I have finished recording my OD&D campaign though.

Hello and welcome to this blog. “ How to Play Dungeons & Dragons Solo ” . This blog will explore the concept of playing Dungeons & Dragons solo . This means playing the game completely by yourself with no Dungeon Master.

Solo RPG Using Mythic GM Emulator and OD&D - Part 2 - Running the First Scene

Welcome back to my Play by Blog Campaign. In the previous session I setup the first scene of the game using the mighty Mythic GM Emulator. In this session I am going to play out the scene. This will entail asking various questions using the Mythic GM Emulator oracle system as well as how to end a scene once it reaches a natural breaking off point. Solo RPG Using Mythic GM Emulator and OD&D - Part 2 - Running the First Scene The first thing I need to do is set the scene, so here goes... My character Mona is out in the forest checking her hunting traps, when suddenly she discovers the mutilated carcass of a deer caught in one of the traps. She inspects the remains closely noticing immediately that something has brutally torn the animal apart, stripping it of huge chunks of flesh, and breaking the bones. Whatever did this clearly has a great deal of strength and sharp monsterous claws and teeth. Mona is going to attempt to track this unknown creature and see if she c...

How to Play Dungeons & Dragons Solo - Part 3 - Dungeon Generation, a Solo DnD Tutorial

Welcome to my blog, How to Play Dungeons & Dragons Solo , dedicated to playing Dungeons & Dragons solo using Basic D&D rules. This series of blog posts is based on a YouTube video series I started back in July 2020 and is all about working out a way to play solo Dungeons & Dragons games . The aim is to develop a suitable rule system so that a game of D&D can be played without the need for any other players or a Dungeon Master. How to Play Dungeons & Dragons Solo - Part 3 - Dungeon Generation, a Solo DnD Tutorial In the first post I discussed the different iterations of the game, which are available, as well as which one would be the most suitable to use for a solo DnD campaign . I've decided to go with the BECMI Basic D&D rules written by Frank Mentzer and published in 1983. I also briefly talked about the stationary and equipment needed to play. I recommended the use of stationary over digital tools to encourage playing in an old school way, bu...
