THACO and Things Four friends playing old-school D&D...   Hi Everyone, And Welcome to THACO and Things, a light-hearted actual-play dungeons and dragons campaign using the old Dungeons and Dragons original basic set and the Cyclopedia.  It’s many years since two of us used the system, and for others it’s new, so if you want to listen to a group of characters and players that are having fun then you’ve come to the right place. A quick thanks to www.Syrinscape.com for some of the great sound effects we’ve used. We have Anthony playing Koros the Halfling, another Anthony playing Jeffrey the Cleric , Kieron is playing Yulendro the Elf and Greylock the NPC dwarf is being played by Dan the DM.  In Basic, the playable demi-human races are both Race AND Class, for example Elves are a type of Warrior-Wizard hybrid, they can’t be Thieves, or Clerics and so on.  Humans alone can learn and develop as they wish, and can choose either Cleric, Fighter, Thief or Magic User. This first episode starts as characters are still being finalised, and we join the party in Starry Lake Town.  It’s a warm, balmy evening, and they gaze across the lake to the dark ruins that lay hidden in the darkness.  What could possibly go wrong ?? Now, To The Adventure !   Our official Twitter account is @PaperSwordPod why not come say hi! :)
