Saving Throes # 119 - The Lost D&D Rules

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.

This week I am going over some D&D rules that were larger parts of prior editions that have either changed drastically or no longer exist at all. Some of these rules were very much informed by how the game was played, such as in the early days of the hobby, and some were just interesting ideas that never took hold for one reason or another. This isn't an exhaustive look at all the rules that have changed or disappeared, as there are so many long lost or altered rules to talk about. Instead this is just a small sample of some interesting rules I wanted to focus on and determine if we are better off without them today. Tune in to potentially learn about some very old concepts in the game, for instance, who is the caller at your table?
