On Adapting

Change is hard. Change is scary. But sometimes change is necessary for survival. That's something everybody is learning in this ongoing pandemic. One would think that gaming would be immune to this, but it's not. Groups normally accustomed to meeting in person are having to meet online in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Our favorite gaming conventions and convention-related services have also felt the effects of all the uncertainty.

GenCon, GaryCon, PretzCon, Nuke-Con. All of these are institutions in our hobby, either locally or on a larger scale. While GenCon and GaryCon both canceled their physical events, they adapted quickly and went virtual. PretzCon, a smaller convention here in Omaha, sadly canceled for 2020 and now it looks like Nuke-Con is on equally uncertain footing.

I originally wasn't going to raise a fuss regarding the option of going virtual, but given possibility of Nuke-Con 2020's cancellation, I've decided to come out and say this: I would rather see a online Nuke-Con rather than no Nuke-Con at all this year.

While there are people who tout the efficacy of such things as social distancing, masks, gloves, and plastic shields, these measures aren't entirely foolproof. In a convention scene, they're pretty much counterproductive. Masks and gloves can tear or become otherwise contaminated; plastic shields are expensive. Also, I can't see myself sitting six feet away from my players, shouting over the din of an open convention hall through a mask. Living with multiple risk factors, the only way I'll truly feel safe in physically attending a convention is if a working COVID-19 vaccine is made readily available.

This might appear selfish to some people, but think about it. While we would all love to get together with our friends and love ones at Nuke-Con, we all have to act responsibly to prevent the spread of the virus. Meeting virtually is the only way around this, in my opinion. Yes, I know meeting online is not everyone's thing, but sacrifices have to be made in order to protect ourselves and others from this pandemic. I'd rather run my games online than not run them at all.

As such, I'm going to be registering my events – with the proviso that if Nuke-Con happens physically (with or without a virtual Nuke-Con), and a working vaccine is not available at the time, I will run my games on Roll20. I will be including info in my event descriptions for where players can go on Roll20 and Discord to find the games if I am not physically at the convention. I would only need communication from Nuke-Con as to who signed up for what game. No prize support, no con bucks, no physical support of any kind. Just communications from the event team regarding players.

So the long and short of it is this: if there's no vaccine, I won't be there physically at Nuke-Con; instead, I'll be more than happy to run my games online for anyone interested. If a vaccine is available, I'll take the jab and be there to run my games in person.

We're all in this together, folks, and I hope we're able to see each other for real in October.

Appendix B - Part 2 - It's Magic!

One of the neat things about Dragon Magazine has always been to see the creativity of its contributors, especially when it comes to magic and magic items. A lot - if not all - of the spells and items that appeared in Dragon prior to AD&D's second edition were codified into the Encyclopedia Magica books. While this tradition continued long into the latest editions of the game, I'm going to be cherry-picking a number of articles that have caught my eye over the years. Again, I've tried very hard to stay away from mechanic-heavy articles. In this installment, I've also tried to pick out articles that add variety and flavor to the game experience rather than just another way of dealing 1d6 damage or healing 1d4 hit points per casting.

Dragon #18 (August 1978)

"Magic: Governed By Laws of Theory" by Thomas A. McCloud: All good systems of magic in games or fiction are governed by laws. Here, Dungeon Master Thomas McCloud details the roots of magical laws and theories and shows how they can be incorporated into a logical and coherent system for Dungeons & Dragons (or other fantasy RPGs).

Dragon #37 (May 1980)

"From the City of Brass to Dead Orc Pass" by Ed Greenwood: Portals are another well-known ingredient of fantasy fiction, leading either to safety or peril. In this article, the master of the Forgotten Realms himself gives an overview of various gates in fantasy fiction and the tricks (and traps) behind them,

Dragon #69 (January 1983)

"Runes" by Taterczynski & Raupp: Runes are yet another trope of fantasy fiction, providing players and their characters a code to break or riddle to solve in the course of an adventure. This article details the history of runes, including their development and use in various European cultures. It should be noted that some of the historical, archaeological, and anthropological information in this article may be out of date, possibly even contradicted by modern theories and findings. Still, it should provide a foundation for a gamemaster looking to develop a system of arcane or ancient writing for their setting.

Dragon #73 (May 1983)

"Non-Violent Magic Items" by Pulsipher & Gettliffe: When standard magic items like wands, swords, and scrolls just won't do, this article can help. While a number of them seem to be more of an "industrial" type of magic, most of these work well for unique items you might find within a wizard's tower, dragon's hoard, or dwarven delve. Definitely an article worth having on hand.

Dragon #87 (July 1984)

"The Legacy of Hortus" by Jack Crane: Wizards do like to experiment with things - devices, spell creation, the essence of life... This article by Jack Crane details a number of horticultural creations left behind by the late wizard Hortus. A system-agnostic article, it can easily be used in any fantasy system.

Dragon #91 (November 1984)

"Treasure Trove" by various contributors: Another valuable article, this one details various magical items, some of dubious utility that a GM could easily inflict on reckless PCs.

Dragon #98 (June 1985)

"Creative Magic Items" by Ken Hughes: A good gamemaster doesn't rely strictly on the rulebook or supplements for magical treasure. Sometimes the best items are created by the GM. Ken Hughes provides a guide for GMs to make their own creations while maintaining some semblance of balance in their game world.

Dragon #99 (July 1985)

"Treasure Trove II: Seventeen New Treasures" by various contributors: Another handful of magical treasures that can aid or hinder PCs.

Dragon #123 (July 1987)

"The Mystic College" by James A. Yates: While heavily driven by AD&D rules, this article by James A. Yates provides a nice outline of what a fledgling mage could expect at a wizard's school.

Dragon #129 (January 1988)

"Arcane Lore: Magic of the Dwarven Priests" by Len Carpenter: Players who favor the Dwarven Runecaster playbook may want to take a look at this article, which covers dwarven runic magic. It includes a number of recommendations on tailoring various spells to fit the dwarven point of view.

Dragon #139 (November 1988)

"Where Wizards Meet" by John C. Bunnell: Dovetailing a little over a year from James A. Yates' "The Mystic College", this article provides an overview of the inner workings of a mages' guild. My only caveat on this article is that it seems to focus on a world where magic is much more common than what Beyond The Wall and other OSR campaigns might feature.

Dragon #140 (December 1988)

"The Savant" by Vince Garcia: Garcia presents a sage PC class (actually a subclass for the cleric or magic-user class) for first edition AD&D in this article. This is the article I referenced for the savant archetype "Another Exercise in Nostalgia".

"So Many Gods So Little Time" by Andrew C. Gronosky: This is one of a number of articles which have appeared in Dragon Magazine over the years on creating believable pantheons in RPGs. Gronosky discusses reasons for having monotheistic and pantheistic religions in a fantasy campaign as well as handling rival religions, the purposes of the faiths, and other ideas. While not focusing on AD&D mechanics, it is couched in the logic of the game.

"Fantasy Clerics and Clerical Fallacies" by Gregory Detwiler: Detwiler provides a look at making clerical healing a bit more realistic in fantasy campaigns, noting that high-level healing will not always be available to peasants, let alone heroes. Definitely worth a look if you want to run a low-magic campaign.

Dragon #149 (September 1989)

"Magic For Beginners" by  Gregory W. Detwiler: Detwiler strikes gold again in this article on low-level magic items. While most of these are more combat-oriented items, there are some very good ideas in here. My favorite is the silver-iron weapons which provide inherent magic against the fae without the common "+1" enchantment.

Dragon #163 (November 1990)

"Oops! Sorry!" by Donald Hoverson: Magical misfirings are one thing I look for in games. Hoverson provides a compact set of guidelines on how spells can go awry instead of just going "pfft." 

"Magic Gone Haywire" by Rich Stump: Stump dovetails from Hoverson's article here, detailing how magical items can malfunction.

Dragon #181 (May 1992)

"More Magic For Beginners" by Gregory W. Detwiler: Detwiler's sequel to "Magic For Beginners" in Dragon #149 brings us more low-level goodies. In this article there are a few more utilitarian items like low-weight equipment, the continual torch, and miniature or polymorphed gear.

Dragon #200 (December 1993)

"The Color of Magic" by Dan Joyce: "The Color of Magic" provides workable guidelines to making each mage's spells unique and noteworthy in BECMI D&D (as well as B/X, Holmes, and other editions) without incorporating a ton of metamagic feats and the like. An excellent article to consult for Beyond the Wall.

Dragon #229 (May 1996)

"Magic Doesn't Always Go Boom" by Christopher Byler: Byler confronts the issue of level-appropriate magical items in adventuring. While grounded in second edition AD&D rules, the article does have good guidelines on providing non-combat magical items and treasure for low and middle level groups.

A Necessary Evil

So as I'm contemplating what to write and post here, it comes to me that it might be a good idea to set some ground rules with regard to copyright, the Open Game License, and Open Game Content for my site. I need to practice what I preach and play nicely with others. Why? It's the right thing to do and I really don't want to get hit with a lawsuit, let alone a C&D (cease and desist) order.

What is about to follow is a wall of (mostly tiny) text that will be updated as content is posted. If you decide to read the whole thing in its entirety, you're either a lawyer or you've been in quarantine for so long you'll do anything to break the boredom. May God have mercy on your soul...
