Well, this isn't the first time that this has happened. In 2022, there was an album called Spell Jams. This came from Hasbro. 2003, there was a Dungeons & Dragons album released by Midnight Syndicate, who were, at the time, the in-house music for a lot of Wizard of the Coast D&D streams. So, it has happened before.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's free adventure on D&D Beyond. Level four. You can use the pre-made character sheets for the 1980s D&D cartoon characters. They are all adults now. They're not children.

It says hunt for the lost horn. Does that mean, because I haven't actually read the adventure, does that mean it's a hornless unicorn?

They're not gridded, though, are they? Because I don't think ADN uses a grid.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Right then, okay. So, quite D&D-ish this week because... There was a big old announcement that the 2024 Players Handbook is apparently the fastest selling D&D book ever in the 50 years of D&D.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
But if you're using them online, all the tabletops can overlay a grid, can't they?

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Absolutely. I really want 3D's Warrior map. That's really nice. I really kind of wish I'd backed the Kickstarter now.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
I don't think you can. I've looked on their website.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
I don't think you can get the map itself. I'll find it somewhere. I will have that map. I will have that map.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
I've got some news about maps. Maps from the Dungeon Master's Guide.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
So because, you know, Beadle and Grimm do their kind of premium versions of things.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
So the Dungeon Master's Guide apparently has quite a lot of maps in it. And included in those maps are about 30 battle maps. Oh, okay. They are in the appendix of the DMG. And they are... In the DMG, they're black and white, apparently. But Beedle and Grimm are producing a full-colour physical set, premium map collection set, of those 30 maps.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
And also including two canvas maps showing the city of Greyhawk and eastern Urik. Urik? O-E-R-I-K. A place. Wow. Yeah, but 30 battle maps, I mean, that looks like a really useful thing to put in the DMG.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
They're sort of like Barrow Crypt and Dragon's Lair and Mine and Roadside Inn and Spooky House and Volcanic Caves and things like that.

yeah i mean premium collection is going to cost you 144 dollars yeah but it sounds like you're getting a lot of stuff i imagine there's usual tokens dice and apparently this is just about my map collection this one oh because it's not like it's an adventure like when they do their premium versions of adventures there's all this stuff to put in there this is just a map collection of the appendix of the dmg 30 four color maps
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
And the new D&D Player's Handbook has surpassed that. It's not clear. I mean, it's basically based on the first week sales, I guess, because it became available on the 17th.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!

Unless it's counting back the last month it's been in hobby stores in America. I'm not sure. But apparently it sold as many as three times as many as the 2014 Player's Handbook did at launch.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Basically half of the East Coast.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Because we ship into Florida, that's right, isn't it?
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
And that is one of the ports affected.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
I think most of the ones on the East Coast are... So that's the problem. If you're coming from China, you go across the Pacific and you'd be hitting the West Coast of America.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Which would be easier. But if people are shipping from the UK or the EU and they're printing in the UK or the EU and shipping to America, you're going to be going across the Atlantic and you're going to be hitting the East Coast.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Yeah, they also, because they sent a press release out, and they also claim more than 85 million D&D fans worldwide. It takes quite a long time to count to 85 million. I mean, it takes quite a long time to count to 85, let alone 85 million.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
It looks like they've got a point. So apparently, on the East Coast, they earn $39 an hour.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
On the West Coast, they currently earn $54 an hour, and that's actually going up to $60.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
So on the West Coast, they're significantly higher paid.

Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes. Discworld. Yes. The world that is a disc. upon some elephants, upon a very large turtle. Great Tatooine. The turtle that swims between the stars. Which is scientifically accurate in exactly how space works.

No, it's a flat one. Not a flat one, but the turtle looks quite chunky. He's a bit of a chunky boy.

Yeah. So we know that the Kickstarter is coming very soon from Modiphius. We've been talking about that the last couple of weeks. But what we didn't really know was what system it was using, other than we knew that it wasn't using 2D20. That's correct. Which was unusual for Modiphius, because nearly everything they do uses their in-house system.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Yeah, if they all shouted out their own number simultaneously.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
And now we know. So this is a new system from Modiphius.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
It's called the Narrativium game system. Nice. Basically, it's a rules-like system.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Yep, there are no stats. You just have traits which kind of lean on... It's one of those games where you call on a trait and you have to say why that trait is relevant in this situation. Yeah. One of those games.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
So what happens is, when you try to do something, the player either calls on a trait or it doesn't, if the trait's relevant. Then the GM decides how relevant, how well they've justified that trait, and assigns them a die to roll, from a d4 up to a, I believe a d12, goes 4 to 12, I believe. Okay, yep. And then the GM always rolls a d8. So what happens is...
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
But then you would have to have handed out 85 million numbers beforehand so that they could do that.

If the GM's assigned you a D6, you're obviously at a disadvantage. If he assigns you a D12, you're at advantage. D10 or D12, you're at advantage. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, yeah. And it's just then an opposed role against the GM's D8. And that's kind of the system. So I'm kind of like, it feels to me a little arbitrary, that.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Because in a way, the GM is almost pretty much just deciding in advance whether or not it's going to work based on the die that they've given you. Like, every single thing they're applying a modifier to, whereas in something like D&D, most things have pre-described modifiers or target numbers. Some things don't.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Obviously, the GM can assign them, but on this, it looks like the GM is completely just deciding between 4 and 12 based on what the player says.

So the trait, as I understand it, say you're climbing a cliff.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
And the person comes along and says, oh, yeah, I'm going to climb the cliff and I've got the horse riding trait. The GM will say, that's a very poor justification. You're going to run a D4 against my D8. Or someone else might come along and say, oh, I've got the Spider-Man trait. That's good. I'm making these up completely, obviously. And the GM will go, that's an excellent justification.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
You can run a D12. So I think that's basically pretty much how it works, as far as I can make out.

It's also got a meta currency called luck, which the GM can hand out and you can spend that luck to help you a bit or...

There's no hit points. There's no combat system. Well, no.

All right. So apparently D&D Beyond has over 18 million users. That's quite a lot.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
This doesn't feel like it's going to be... You couldn't, for example, create a character that is so good at something that they succeed most of the time with this. Because even if you're rolling a D12 versus a D8, which looks like the best you can roll, which would imply that that's as good as you can be at that thing... You're not going to succeed most of the time against a D8.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
You're going to succeed more often than not, but you can't be someone who is just so good at something.

So the character's capability varies from T4 to T12. The difficulty of the task is flat. It's D8. So it's the same difficulty to climb an ice wall as is a ladder. It's a D8.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
I'm exaggerating. There's no variability in difficulty.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
So, that's interesting. However, there is a little bit of, I want to say controversy, slightly manufactured controversy maybe, that has arisen about this.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Well, I'm going to back this Kickstarter, I know it, because I like this world and it looks gorgeous. You'll have some great art. Yeah. It'll be a nice book to own. I'm sure that this little overview is a very sort of surface level overview of it. I'm sure there's nuance to it that we're not aware of.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
But there's going to be an actual quick start very soon, like in the next week or so, that you can download.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Yeah. I'm excited about that, though. I am. I think this world is better than Monty Python for a role-playing game. I think the Monty Python role-playing game, I kind of... I like Monty Python, but I struggle conceptually with it as a role-playing game. Whereas Discworld lends itself more to fantasy gaming, I think.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
Like the argument clinic or the cheese drop sketch in Monty Python aren't a role... They're funny, but they're not a role-playing game scenario, really, are they?

game because i'd be intimidated about how to create that yeah you might find that you might find that the game comes with excellent tools for you to do that so that you don't have to be witty on the spot because i don't know the adventures themselves are ridiculous and funny enough on their own yeah maybe i don't know you know no i don't know either yeah i mean certainly it's got more potential for a very narrative story and if you're into a narrative story then narrativium sounds like a good

Okay. Well, there's a second edition out these days as well, so it's probably not the edition you've played. It's not. But they have released a sourcebook, a Cthulhu sourcebook, So what flavours is it?
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
So they sold 3,700? So this rumor comes from a YouTube channel who looked at the BookScan data in the US. Now, BookScan is basically a Nielsen service which kind of takes ISBN sales and compiles them. But that's for the sort of mass market trade, book trade. Right.

Yes, so this is for Fantasy Age 2nd Edition, although obviously compatible with Modern Age as well. But it's basically the Cthulhu Mythos for Fantasy Age. It includes things like deep-blooded and dream-cool ancestries. You can start play with the Mythos in your blood. A lot of new talents, specialisations, rules for alienation and fear.

Yeah, themed around satire and counterculture. It's called Drunkards, Druggies and Delinquents. It then goes on to say it's a party game with role-playing elements.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
up and about so the party game element of it is as players take damage they're encouraged to drink smoke or partake in their favourite vice all in good fun as a player as a player oh okay So it's kind of like a drinking game. A drinking role-playing game. What's the role-playing element?

Players take on the roles of rebellious adventurers, fuelled by their drink or substance of choice, and navigate a world where chaos reigns supreme. Players take on quests that challenge not only their wits, but also their tolerance.

I think it's quite frequent. But the biggest problem with that is the player's handbook hasn't actually really filtered through to the big main chain stores yet. What it has been selling at in bucket loads is for any local game stores.

They did let them have it early. They got them on the 3rd rather than the 17th. So local game stores have had the book for nearly a month. And of course, Bookscan doesn't pick up any of that. Added to that, Amazon reports monthly.
Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk
317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
So the Amazon figures probably won't be on there. So basically, all Bookscan is reporting is what Walmart and Barnes & Noble and that lot have sold in those six days when the book hasn't really even filtered through to those stores yet.

317 | Free D&D adventure based on 1980s cartoon | PHB fastest selling D&D book ever, Mork Borg video game, and more!
No, Wizards of the Coast has not only sold 3,700 books. That is not the case. It's like, you know, arguing for clicks.

Yeah, it got reported on a YouTube channel, and then I wouldn't say a mainstream tabletop news outlet about sort of the enrolled size picked it up and reported on it. So, you know...
