The Evil Dungeon Master Universe

This is kind of a follow up episode where I am talking about some of the comments I've been seeing about the thief class and pondering about it. Low hit points, weak armor, and a skill list that rarely worked… the AD&D 1st Edition Thief had a rough start. But was it really useless, or just misunderstood? In this episode, I look at the numbers, the role at the table, and why the Thief may have been more important than people gave it credit for. From constant failure to rare moments of glory, let’s figure out if this class deserved a second chance—or a replacement. Support me: https://Patreon.com/TheEvilDM…

You earned the XP. You survived the dungeon. You're ready to level up. Not so fast, this is AD&D 1st Edition. In today’s episode, we take a look at the infamous training cost rules buried in the DMG. Gold, time, instructors... and even alignment-based fees? I break down what the rule actually said, why it made sense on paper, and why most tables completely ignored it. Was it genius, nonsense, or both? Tune in and decide for yourself. #ADnD1e #AdvancedDungeonsAndDragons #ADnDTrainingCosts #OldSchoolDnD Support: https://Patreon.com/TheEvilDM Links: https://solo.to/TheEvilDM…

In this episode, I take a hard look at the original AD&D 1st Edition Fighter. No spells. No tricks. Just steel, grit, and hit points. Was it enough? Or did the Fighter fall behind as the game scaled up? I’ll break down what made the Fighter strong, where it stumbled, and why it’s still worth playing when the dice hit the table. Whether you’re rolling 3d6 down the line or wielding a vorpal sword, this one’s for the old-school bruisers.…

In this episode, I crack open Deities & Demigods and dig into those legendary stat blocks, from Strength 19 to a god-tier 25... and what those numbers actually do. Then we head to Dragon Magazine #67, where Gygax updates the standard powers of the gods. To top it off, I share a tale from my campaign about the time my character took the long, divine road to demigod-hood under the guidance of the one and only Joe DM. #ADnD #OldSchoolDND #DeitiesAndDemigods #DragonMagazine #Gygax #TTRPGLore #DungeonsAndDragons #OSR #Demigod #TabletopRPG #ClassicDND Support me: https://ko-fi.com/TheEvilDM…

In this episode, I spotlight one of AD&D’s most gruesome and underused monsters—the Assassin Bug. It paralyzes victims, implants eggs, and unleashes a swarm of death from the inside out. I break down how to use it for maximum dread, from cursed noble houses to larval horrors in the city sewers. Perfect for DMs who want body horror without homebrewing a thing. #ADnD #TTRPGHorror #OSRGaming #OldSchoolMonsters #MonsterSpotlight #DungeonMasterTools Support me: https://Ko-fi.com/TheEvilDM…
Today’s episode is about the enchanting (or annoying) leprechauns! These small, magical beings are known for their mischievous nature and love for lush, green landscapes. With a unique ability to become invisible and create illusions, leprechauns are never easy to catch! Did you know they snatch valuable objects from unsuspecting adventurers with a 75% success rate? Even more fascinating is their cleverness, if you find them in their lair, be careful! They’re experts at tricking captors into believing they’re handing over their treasure when they really aren’t. Plus, leprechauns adore wine, which may help you outsmart them. Join us as we explore their traits, defenses, and the playful, mischievous character that makes leprechauns a beloved figure in folklore!

Today is a follow up to the podcast on Monday about the thief abilities. Today we look at the DMG, where it clarifies how some of the abilities CAN be used, to prevent some "abuse" by players. #TSR #PHB #Thief #Adnd http://ko-fi.com/TheEvilDM for Support!

In today’s episode, I flip open the DMG and talk about tribal spell casters. These magical beings exist among various races, including bugbears, cavemen, and trolls. First I go over the two main types of tribal spell casters: shamans and witch doctors. Shamans are spiritual clerics who practice powerful healing and protective spells. They’re known for their connection to nature and the spiritual realm. On the other hand, witch doctors blend clerical and magic-user abilities, wielding a variety of spells from illusions to enhancements. Whether you’re a fan of fantasy games or just curious about magical lore, this episode will give you insight into life as a tribal spell caster, their powers, and how they fit into their clans. Stick around for an exciting journey into the spellbinding world of tribal magic! https://solo.to/TheEvilDM #adnd #osr #shaman #greyhawk #gygax…

I got an email from Jeff (another Jeff), who wanted to know about Hub campaigns, so I decided to do a podcast on his email. SO... in today’s episode, I am diving head first into the concept of mission-based worlds in tabletop role-playing games, or RPGs. A hub or mission-based campaign serves as a central base where characters can regroup, heal, and gather supplies after their adventures. This approach isn’t just for video games; it can be incredibly effective in RPGs too! #rpg #TTRPG #adnd #tsr #gygax…

In today’s episode, I flipped open the UA to the race section and decided to talk to about the different sub-races that make Elves unique. l'll introduce you to the noble Gray Elves, who share many abilities with high elves, but come with their own twist. Then, we will meet the Wood Elves, known for their connection to nature and woodland creatures, followed by the elusive Wild Elves, or Grugach, who avoid outsiders and revel in their mysterious lifestyles. I will also explore the Valley Elves, who are shunned by others but have intriguing traits. Finally, the Dark Elves, or Drow, a divergent and complex group that differs vastly from their surface cousins.…

Today on the podcast, I decided to talk about my experiences in running Demons and an interesting story about how I've seen a Demon's Amulet used. These unique objects hold the vital essences of powerful demon lords and princes, cleverly keeping their souls both safe and vulnerable. Imagine having the power to control a demon for a whole day—not an easy task, and certainly not without its dangers! An amulet lets its possessor command the demon, but only if they’re careful. If misused, the amulet can lead to dire consequences for the wielder, including the risk of instant attack from the demon itself. We also discuss the astral and ethereal planes where demons roam, and the risks involved if you say the name of a powerful demon out loud.…

In today’s episode, I decided to flip open the UA Book and talk about the mechanics of grappling in combat. Grappling is a powerful move used to restrain opponents, preventing their actions and making them more vulnerable. We’ll explore how grappling works, from the rules for successful grapples to the advantages and disadvantages for both grapplers and grappled targets. Learn how multiple attackers can work together, and discover what happens when a grappled opponent fights back. #dnd #Grappling #adnd #OSR…

On today's Podcast, I decided to flip open the book and look at the Magic User 6th level spell, The Death Spell. It's an interesting spell that once cast, there is no saving throw against it and basically the target is dead. The Death Spell is a powerful 6th-level conjuration that instantly and irrevocably slays creatures within its area of effect, with no saving throw. The number of victims depends on their hit dice—wiping out up to 80 creatures with less than 2 HD or scaling down to just a few tougher foes. However, it’s useless against lycanthropes, undead, or extraplanar beings. With a casting time of six segments and a pricey material component (a crushed black pearl worth 1,000 GP), this spell is a devastating battlefield tool, ideal for clearing out hordes of weaker enemies in an instant.

Today on the podcast, I decided to go over the Orcs and how they are structured as a tribe, from the lowly ones to the chief and his assistants, there is a lot to know about orcs! Orcs are common, lawfully evil creatures characterized by their competitive nature and a strong inclination to fight among themselves unless controlled by a powerful leader. They prefer dark environments due to their aversion to sunlight, suffering penalties when exposed to it. Orc tribes are numerous and often found dwelling in underground lairs or simple above-ground villages. They display a hierarchy with leaders and assistants in their ranks, and their encounters often include a significant number of orcs, particularly if they are in their lairs or engaged in raiding activities. Orcs are known for their cruelty, particularly towards elves, whom they kill on sight. Their physical appearance is unattractive, with a color scheme that includes earthy tones, and they are recognized for their mining and tunneling skills. Additionally, orcs are known to interbreed with other races, resulting in half-orcs. #adnd #orcs #dnd #TSR…
