Short video about me and my goals on my channel focused on Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition settings and materials. #dnd #planescape #adnd2e
Bummer you couldn't find your stuff at your folks. But relatable! I have been going through all our storage and finding all kinds of cool things I forgot I owned. But trust me I get the "there's so much stuff, I cant find the stuff I know I have" also! It's tougher too if you didn't store the items. Now you have to second guess your mom or dad's thought process! Ah well. Next time you go out there hopefully you strike gold!
Thanks for watching. My mum reckons they might’ve threw it away but also said she thought she saw them somewhere. I think I might have to replace them at this point. What’s done is done I guess.
Insane !! So cool.
@@RichardFriendartist Thank you.
Noghtmare Lands was a box set. Drive thru has it pod
Finally the channel ive been looking for. I run 1e/2e exclusively
Great summary of the adventures. Currently planning an AD&D 2nd edition Planescape campaign once my current 5E campaign ends so this was very useful.
That sounds amazing! Let me know how your Planescape game goes.
Just Ran Harbinger House. Awesome adventure.
Yeah it’s brilliant I want to run it soon but you definitely need the right players for it.
@@Dndditches the more dungeon oriented types get rewarded with some Magus Castle level fun house dungeon at the end.
@@Halfling.Paladin sounded like a great time. Did you use 2e or 5e?
@@Dndditches 2e. I won't touch a hasbro product with a 10 foot pole
@@Halfling.Paladin that’s fair. 2e best edition anyway 😀
I just got Darksun and Planescape box sets from Noble Knight. Love them.
@@radyoung779 yeah I just ordered another lot from them. They are actually pretty good with reasonable prices.
Good luck with your channel and looking forward to more content! Been playing TTRPG’s for 7 or 8 years now and just about to embark on my 2E journey!
Thank you! 2e is pretty awesome isn’t it?
@@Dndditches looks like it. Just getting POD’s picked from drivethru
@@heldane6165 yeah POD is a great option for affordable physical copies!
the amount of AD&D and D&D i have is nutty haha as well as dragon magazines
They’re certainly addictive to collect!
@@Dndditches yeah they are dang it haha all mine are from the 70-80s i havent got around to the 2000s
@@ilpilgrim we tend to have fond memories of the edition we started with and I started in the 90s. Did you get introduced to dnd in 70s/80s?
@@Dndditches oddly enough i started in 2000s haha but loved the old school ones and didnt stop i just never got around to to wanting the newer ones
@@ilpilgrim you must really like the classic style of dnd then
Love Adnd 2e still play occasionally. I used to play Ravenloft and DarkSun.
Love Ravenloft and Dark Sun. I want to start running 2e games soon.
Great collection. AD&D2E still is the best edition. Of all D&D, Dragonlance always was my favorite setting, followed very closely by Dark Sun (which i run now), Planescape, Spelljammer and Ravenloft. Great video as always!
Thank you so much! I never got into Dragonlance as I’m not much of a novels guy and that’s their strength but agree 2e is the best edition. I thought about running Dark Sun and Ravenloft but I decided to do more Planescape instead since that’s my specialty and 5e friendly (for my players). I’d only run Dark Sun in 2e due to 5e not having proper psionics.
Really well explained! I had a hard time wrapping my head around it first and wish I had seen your video then!
Thank you so much! That’s why I’m here 😊
the Vorlog 2:58 looks like Trump
Omg!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 I didn’t even catch that. You’re not wrong 😂😂
There's always one. And it's President Trump. He keeps the title. We still say President Washington, President Lincoln, President Kennedy etc
@@adampender2482 always one what?
It's weird to me that they would do a loose leaf monster book then do two monsters per page. No one caught the problem with that?
I felt like during this time they came up with certain gimmicks that was expensive but not well thought out. The audio CD was another. So was Dragon Dice, a collectable dice game when they were trying to compete with Magic: The Gathering.
@@Dndditches well I know DC Comics did their Who's Who books that way around that time and the entries were one character per page (except for team entries) and actually they were one page of art and the back was all the text and other artwork. I think Marvel did one too but I don't know anything about how that was laid out. The CD thing sounds cool. I forgot about that but I've seen modern games offering MP3s.
@@LibraGamesUnlimitedI don’t know about the comics but I remember they had the educational stuff which had a monthly subscription and vol 1 was the binder and subsequent volumes were loose leaf. They were on topics like ancient Egypt or mineralogy. The loose leaf format was quite popular at the time. The CD format sounds good on paper but were expensive to produce. I talked about it a little in my Planescape boxset vid (Outlands box) that they had very little budget left over for the product. Ended up getting a 32 page book with half of it being regurgitated info. There are 2 other CD sets I know, Mystara and Red Steel. It did not make good financial sense for a business that was already struggling.
@@Dndditches yeah I saw those even got one or two. Yeah it was a fad at the time. Both DC and Marvel Comics did it. I googled the Marvel ones and they were weird. They were all done sideways and the front was an image of the character from the front, back and side on a blank background.
Thanks for the latte! Good breakdown on such an amazing setting, if I wasn't already sold on Planescape I would be after this haha
@@exitsexamined thank you for watching.
Out of curiosity, how much money did you pay? Prices on these have skyrocketed in the past 5 years. I'd need at least half of my paycheck to buy these in Greece
Far too much. All prices in $AUD unless stated Chaos $172 (a steal at that price honestly). Hellbound $342 Al-qadim $120 each Belfry $120 Nightmare lands 100GBP The box with Spacefarers $250 Astromundi $220 Psionic artifacts $100usd I did say I need professional help lol
@@Dndditches Yeap, thats a full salary for me:D insane prices and i hear that Australia is expensive anyways probably cause of shipment costs. I got what i got from back in the day but nowadays i buy almost exclusively from Drivethrurpg
@@Dndditches Yeap, thats a full salary for me:D You'd buy them cheaper in Greece though, about 50- 60% of what you paid but i hear Australia is very expensive when it comes to hobbies (Warhammer also is expensive) probably cause of shipment costs. These days i only buy from DrivethruRPG unless i stumble into a bargain and that rarely happens anymore. Anyways, i feel your need to collect these, just try not to ruin your wallet:D PS: Let's hope youtube doesn't delete this again...
@@user-mp2fb9ku5oyeah I don’t fault anyone from getting print on demand or digital copies because the prices are outrageous. But all the little nicknacks from the boxset can only be experienced with the original. I didn’t want to spend that much but sometimes rare things pop up and if I don’t get it immediately someone else will. Australia is expensive because shipping costs an arm and a leg but that’s life.
@@Dndditches Yea, last year i found the 1st edition boxset of Ravenloft complete. I was amazed to find a transparent hexgrid slide that you can superimpose on maps to measure distances. I guess you can't find that on Drivethrurpg. The whole thing also cost 80euro as well. Bought it and the Undermountain box set for another 70euro in the bliink of an eye lol
Enjoying your channel keep it up!
Thank you so much!
How many of the products did you find in Aus? I had to go through drive thrurpg to find most of mine.
The first big box, Al-Qadim, the box with the 3.5 and 4e book, Planescape novel and Spelljammer boxset were all from aus. Got really lucky this month. You just gotta keep checking ebay because they pop up from time to time. And local Facebook marketplace.
I used to have the ring binder compendium. I really miss the 2e monster compendium. I put the pages in page sleeves to protect them better. Actually I liked 1e and 2e the best of all the D&D editions and basically left for other systems, primarily the Palladium/Rifts megaverse which found that stopping while they were ahead with 2e and just adding new rift worlds using the same core rules made more sense. WotC scorched the pooch by constantly reinventing the whole system. It got too confusing imho
Yeah I bought one of the ring binders recently and it’s overflowing. I prefer the black label revised edition though cuz that’s the one I grew up with. Plus it had Tony DiTerlizzi’s art in it. Thank you for watching.
Sweet. I had all of those in my childhood.
You must’ve had an amazing childhood 😀
AD&D 2nd Edition...my first love.
@@TheSalem777 me too, me too!
I miss 2nd edition 😢
Yes me too me too. That’s why I do these 2e content.
The Hellbound campaign was my intro to both 2nd ed. & Planescape. Subbed because of your pronunciation of Sigil.
@@davidcardoso3525 that’s awesome!! What did you enjoy about it?
@@Dndditches I'd almost reached a point where I was no longer playing; when I actually (read rarely) did get to play it was 1st ed. & usually a one-shot. The DM of the new group lent me the DM's Guide & let me use the custom class creator &, despite going in blind, I thought that was one of the greatest things ever. When I found I could get from anywhere to anywhere using the planes I was tickled & it changed how I approached the game as a DM. I still use the Great Ring when DM'ing. If you want to acquire something, if you know the right people, pretty much anything can be purchased if you have the jink. My first character (Mist) is still alive & a property-owner in Sigil. Her brothel/tavern/gambling hall (The Misty Tie) is now used regularly in campaigns. The Tie (as locals call it) is located conveniently in the Lower Ward. Look for the two trees bracketing the entrance. Mist is probably the longest-played & richest character I have ever played, although her power-level makes her pretty much an NPC at this point. The group was full of power-gamers (& a power-DM) & was so over-the-top that a couple of times people sat in with our group & later told us they had trouble playing in other groups, calling the other groups, "...less than...". As an edit/addendum, I discovered Planescape: Torment shortly after hooking up with this group. Good times.
@@davidcardoso3525 that sounds amazing! And you’re still running the same world til this day?
Goot stuff! Keep it coming!
Thank you so much 😅
very detailed video. I only really know planescape setting from the video game planescape torment, I thought it was a great game and bought the factol's manifesto on ebay afterward
Thank you for watching. If you still have Factol’s Manifesto it’s worth a fortune nowadays.
"'Stargate' for 'Dungeons & Dragons'", perhaps? (Or is even 'Stargate' too old for younger players?) (Edit: Corrected a typo.)
That takes me back.
Don't lie to me about what D stands for... I know what it means! LOL!
I don’t know what you’re talking about 😅
@@Dndditches touchin' tips... LOL j/k
Birthright is an amazing campaign setting. If anyone is looking for players...just saying. Nice haul.
Definitely would love to play ❤
Cool stuff!
epic!!!
