Ever wonder what happens when your sword swing goes from epic to oops? In this episode, we crack open Dragon Magazine Issue 39 and talk about Carl Parlagreco’s critical hit and fumble rules... a brutal, hilarious, and gloriously unfair addition to your AD&D table. From decapitations to weapon tangles to accidentally stabbing your foot... we go over what works, what doesn’t, and how to make it all fun. Bring your d20... and maybe a backup character.

The Minotaur is a classic AD&D monster... but that does not mean it has to be predictable. In this episode, I break away from the usual maze-bound brawler and explore strange, unexpected ways to use Minotaurs in your campaign. From ritual performances to extradimensional bureaucracy, this is how you take the brute... and give it a twist.

In this episode, I dig into the Vanish spell from AD&D. It is a seventh-level alteration spell that lets a magic-user remove objects, doors, and even themselves from existence... by slipping into the ethereal plane. I cover how it works, what makes it different from Teleport or Passwall, and how you can use it for escapes, heists, ambushes, or long-lost dungeon tricks. It is subtle. It is dangerous. It is forgotten. Not anymore.
