Saving Throes # 172 - Pages Through the Ages: HP, Healing, Dying and Death
Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across. The amount of HP a character has, the way that they heal, and the mechanics of dying and ultimately death are huge influencers to the culture of play that emerges in each edition of D&D. This week I am comparing how each edition has handled this important aspect of the game, and how its systems have changed and evolved, leading to fairly different feeling editions. I have been thinking a lot about these differences, and after going over it all again, it really gives great insight on how the game has changed around it. Tune in to hear my thoughts on the various different approaches and my ideal approach for my own home games.
