Show Notes:

[00:01:20]In Scott’s youth, he believed the 1975 rules set inferior to more modern rule systems.But now he now realizes that EPT is a wonderful game as written.

[00:02:45]What is meant by “bonuses to hit dice” with respect to Basic Talents?Hint, it’s not like D&D.Instead, these bonuses are to your “to hit dice” i.e., your attack roll. (See EPT §§ 411-412, p. 15; § 710, p. 30)

[00:07:37]Rules for finding secret doors and detecting traps.(EPT § 412, p. 16; see also EPT § 1210, p. 62)

[00:10:22]Constitution modifiers in EPTdo not modify hit points.(EPT § 413, p. 17)

[00:13:30]Constitution scores can affect one’s ability to use eyes, or to be revivified.(EPT § 413, p. 17)

[00:16:20]Unless you’ve picked up the original playtest rules, you won’t know that Comeliness wasn’t an original EPT statistic.This provides a window into Professor Barker’s approach to roleplaying.

[00:20:09]Real world analogs to Tsolyáni foods, tsi’il, hmá, and hmélu.

[00:20:52]In a “fresh off the boat” campaign, how do you reconcile the civilized Tsolyáni skills in § 420 with foreign player characters?

[00:25:19]How do you reconcile high rolls for original skills (which can yield patrician skills) with plebian characters, and vice versa? (EPT § 420, p. 18)

[00:27:16]EPT’s skill system predicts the non-weapon proficiencies of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.

[00:28:06]The chance of succeeding at a skill is determined by rolling on the Chances of Spells Working Table (EPT § 434, p. 21).

[00:29:10]James reveals one of his house rules: occasionally, he transposes high Basic Talent scores to the Psychic Ability Chart (EPT § 414, p. 17) and where this chart gives bonuses to spells working, adds that to appropriate skill rolls.

[00:30:05]How do you handle ability checks?Players can simply attempt to roll under the score, or roll under the average of the character’s strength, intelligence, and dexterity.(EPT § 725, p. 33)

[00:32:46]A one-minute combat round is standard in EPT.(EPT § 724, p. 33)Why?It’s a legacy of the abstract combat system present in ‘70s-era war-gaming.(See AD&D 1^st Edition Dungeon Master’s Guide, p. 61)

[00:37:58]Players frequently forget that EPT combat rounds are fought in pairs.Therefore, if a defender is slain during the attacker’s round, he still gets a chance to strike a dying blow.(EPT § 724)

[00:38:30]In Swords & Glory, the combat round is six-seconds.(S&G Vol. 2 § 2.500, p. 87)

[00:39:07]Swords & Glory and Gardásiyal are more granular systems.

[00:41:25]“Gods, Cohorts, and Divine Intervention” is a massive add-on that D&D would later mirror in Deities and Demigods. (EPT § 2100, p. 86)

[00:42:22]Pronunciation guide for the names of the Tlomitlányal (the Five “Gods” of Stability).

[00:47:25]The pronunciation of kh in the languages of the Five Empires.

Hosts:Scott Kellogg, James Maliszewski, and Victor J. Raymond
