  • D&D & Video Games 3E
    TCW Podcast Episode 224 - D&D & Video Games 3E   In our final look at D&D & Video Games, we explore the early PC and mainframe computer scene, as well as the games created by fans of D&D. Various aspects of D&D were incorporated into these games, ranging from puzzles and light combat to full-on dungeon dives to claim treasure from the deepest levels. These games grew in popularity and led to others iterating on the aspects they enjoyed. Games on the PLATO system—such as Pedit5, D&D, and Orthanc—paved the way for reimagining these games on home computers, including the Apple II. This foundation led to the creation of seminal titles like Ultima and Wizardry, which would influence RPGs on PCs for over a decade. D&D has a long history of collaborating with different systems and ideas to create innovative forms of gaming, with the potential to continue transforming video games well into the future.   Livestream 2024 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahP86-2H8lc   Playing at the World - Jon Peterson (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/3YokLZC The Elusive Shift - Jon Peterson (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/3C8cHVq Game Wizards - Jon Peterson (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/48uCtzi   Colossal Cave Adventure: https://rickadams.org/adventure/ Play Zork Online: https://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/5zyoqrsugeopel3ffhz_vq/zork TCW 170 - A Rogue's Survival Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-rogue-s-survival-part-1/ TCW 171 - A Rogue's Survival Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-rogue-s-survival-part-2/ Pedit5: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedit5 M199h: https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2023/10/m199h-new-findings-both-solve-and.html Everything We Know About 1970s Mainframe RPGS We Can No Longer Play: https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2021/06/brief-everything-we-know-about-1970s.html Orthanc (1975): https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2013/11/game-123-orthanc-1977.html D&D On PLATO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdPrzb534TY Revisiting The Dungeon (1975): https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2019/01/revisiting-dungeon-1975.html Telengard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqDnYIsa-po Play Telengard: https://www.myabandonware.com/game/telengard-6w Moria: https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2013/11/game-121-moria-1975.html Play Moria (1988 DOS): https://www.myabandonware.com/game/moria-27f/play-27f Oubliette: https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2013/10/game-12-oubliette-1977.html PLATO Oubliette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vUmkTi5D-k TCW 016 - Early Computer Game Platforms: The Trinity, and the Disciples: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/early-computer-game-platforms-the-trinity-and-the-disciples/ Play Beneath Apple Manor (DOS 1983): https://www.myabandonware.com/game/beneath-apple-manor-256 Beneath Apple Manor Walkthrough (Apple II): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IB7j2KVFrY Dungeon Campaign: https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2013/01/game-83-dungeon-campaign-1979.html Dungeon Campaign (Apple II): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xY7bZJ1LOQ Dragon Maze (Apple II): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7-PNdthkDw Dragon Maze Lets Play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZnAmBAxgSo Starfleet Orion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfleet_Orion Temple of Apshai Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVcDIQbwtWc Temple of Apshai (Commodore Pet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3mcwLM-l5k Ultima (Apple II): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPqUe6Ohn2A Wizardry (Apple II): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJhMpPnnXMo (Ethan) Temple of Apshai (TRS 80) - The Quest Log: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiMtY5BxdM0 TCW 114 - The Wizards of Sir-Tech: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-wizards-of-sir-tech/ TCW 115 - The Return of the Sdraziw of Sir-Tech: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-return-of-the-sdraziw-of-sir-tech/ Escape (Apple II): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nvh78Dqfkg Panorama Toh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4t6A9C31h0 TCW 157 - Final Fantasy's Tale: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/final-fantasy-s-tale/   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

  • D&D & Video Games 2E
    TCW Podcast Episode 223 - D&D & Video Games 2E   In the second part of our exploration of Dungeons & Dragons and its connection to video games, we examine the game’s refinement and rise in popularity. D&D was a groundbreaking experience, brought to life through Gary Gygax’s collaboration with others, particularly Dave Arneson, who developed many of its foundational concepts. The game evolved from miniature wargaming focused on medieval combat, with Tolkien-inspired high fantasy elements added later as an afterthought. These fantasy rules closely resembled those of Rules for Middle Earth but weren’t universally embraced, as some players preferred the realism of traditional wargaming, making it challenging to satisfy both audiences. We also delve into the well-known controversy between Gygax and Arneson and the creation of the Blackmoor campaign setting. We explore how TSR released the original box set and then evolved it into AD&D. Additionally, we examine how RPGs began to take off as a whole new type of game that people could play. Finally, we look at how D&D became embroiled in the cultural backlash of the 1980s "Satanic Panic."   Transcript: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/transcripts/tcw223   Livestream 2024 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahP86-2H8lc   Playing at the World - Jon Peterson (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/3YokLZC The Elusive Shift - Jon Peterson (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/3C8cHVq Game Wizards - Jon Peterson (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/48uCtzi   Leonard Nimoy The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins Full Album Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuQbus0xfhk Playing at the World - Rules for Middle Earth: https://playingattheworld.blogspot.com/2016/01/a-precursor-to-chainmail-fantasy.html Knights of the Dinner Table: https://kenzerco.com/ Bunnies & Burrows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunnies_%26_Burrows Tunnels & Trolls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnels_%26_Trolls James Dallas Egbert III: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dallas_Egbert_III Chief Wiggum - It Almost Looks Like an Arrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb5k0iOBdsU Bake him away Toys!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBOvfN2Y4oo Mazes & Monsters Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLi422rkUIY NYT  - D&D: Satanic Panic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATUpSPj0x-c D&D Cartoon Lore Explored: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9lZxOMMufM Matel D&D Handheld Game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY2OI7sVHjQ Matel D&D Electronic Labyrinth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STU1I_x0-so Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (Intellivision): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MDVwAXVJ3w [Adult Themes] Dark Dungeons Comic: https://www.chick.com/products/tract?stk=0046 [Some Adult Themes] CBS - What was the Satanic Panic?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plEImKEIRm8 (BADD) Bothered About Dungeons & Dragons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Ies6NVAeA   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

  • D&D & Video Games 1E
    TCW Podcast Episode 222 - D&D & Video Games 1E   In the first part of this series, we explore the various influences leading to the creation of Dungeons & Dragons. This episode is an edited version of our livestream, delving into the rise in popularity of war games, board games, and miniatures. Avalon Hill, a major company in this field, published The General magazine, which helped players connect for games. Through opponent-wanted ads resembling today’s unmoderated forums and the discovery of games like Kriegsspiel and Stratego, we witness the evolution of elements that would eventually lead to the early role-playing game (RPG).   Livestream 2024 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahP86-2H8lc   Playing at the World - Jon Peterson (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/3YokLZC The Elusive Shift - Jon Peterson (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/3C8cHVq Game Wizards - Jon Peterson (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/48uCtzi Afrika Korps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHOtUG4JvlQ SGS Afrika Korps: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1266640/SGS_Afrika_Korps/ Gettysburg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7Cw6nzrPgw The General Magazine: https://www.vftt.co.uk/ah_mags.asp?ProdID=PDF_Gen What is Kriegsspiel?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKVeR4n-u1w Chancellorsville: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmJjNI4CO70 Computer Chronicles Revisited: https://www.smoliva.blog/ Strategos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategos_(game) Secrets of Blackmore on Amazon Prime Video (Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/4fsUSyA How to Play DIPLOMACY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l53oL0ptt7k Yes Mr Ford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0-AD3bFjF8 Siege of Bodenburg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Bodenburg   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds - Save 30% by signing up through the website and not the iOS App!   Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

  • North to Hellgate London
    TCW Podcast Episode 221 - North to Hellgate London   In a pseudo part three of our look at Condor and Blizzard North, we explore the troubles the company faced after a year and a half of crunch. David, Max, and Eric were all burned out along with the rest of the staff. David was going through a divorce and had trouble putting his heart into figuring out what the next game would be. Due to lack of leadership and a proper chain of command, many employees felt frustrated switching games over and over. At the same time, the expansion, Lord of Destruction, was completed after a year of development with no crunch. Through a combination of bad corporate structure, not empowering middle management, factionalism, and troubles with Blizzard's corporate owners being bought and sold amid their own scandals, David, Eric, Max, and Bill Roper from Blizzard South went on to form Flagship Studios and work on Hellgate: London. Unfortunately, the game was not well received due to expectations exceeding the financial and technical hurdles that needed to be overcome. There is a lot more to this story, so prepare yourself as we leave one hell for another!   Thor - Game Studio Gambles: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NLb9-DPspgA Thor - Email Mike: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1ilUpXkGxbo Karateka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKqk9kosCs4 Dale Carnegie - How  to Win Friends and Influence People: https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034 Flagship Studios: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagship_Studios Fate Longplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGH577lznLk&list=PL112CEBA37FF962EE Mythos Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fEsOrRvZ58 Hellgate London E3 2005 Cinematic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xG9puQZJ1c Hellgate London E3 Bill Roper Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh1EQhHQPbQ US/China WOW Model Differences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtI2GcUPEFQ Hellgate London Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiKbGoiIHqo   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds - Sign up through the website not the iOS App!

  • Diablo 2
    TCW Podcast Episode 220 - Diablo 2   We continue exploring the Diablo franchise with Diablo 2 and the journey of the team at Blizzard North. This episode covers the history of the Hellfire expansion for Diablo 1 and how it came to be developed by Sierra Online. A directive was issued for Blizzard North to focus on creating Diablo 2. The team aimed not just to create a bigger dungeon but to expand the game’s overall scope. However, the development of Diablo 2 faced challenges like feature creep, excessive gaming, and the absence of a game design document. These issues led to a year and a half of crunch time to complete the game. Despite these difficulties, Diablo 2 was released to phenomenal success.   Hellfire Monk Playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJlxnFfxRM4 David Brevik on Diablo Hellfire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4bDFgcuH-I Warcraft Adventures - Lord of the Clans (Lets Play): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7JZu__7KTs Thor - Overworked % Amazon Game Studios: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IVdaysrIS74 Thor - Blizzard Working Conditions: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B2mqnuRalYA Thor - Blizzard Pay: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a8aumvAq5gM Thor - Value vs Income from a Job: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8s3wa5kL6RY TCW 054 - Blizzard - Vikings and WarCraft: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/blizzard-vikings-and-warcraft/ TCW 055 - Blizzard - Hellfire and The World… of WarCraft: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/blizzard-hellfire-and-the-world%E2%80%A6-of-warcraft/ Diablo II from 2000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_MoFDWJees Diablo II LOD Playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM7gA_xD7vE Original StarCraft Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAXDv--grUE Diablo II TV Commercial (Its Everywhere): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzBp9ECiodc Diablo II TV Commercial (Evil Has Survived): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RvRK5qf6Lc     TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
