Lethality Fallacy: Is Classic Gaming REALLY More Lethal? - Nerdcognito Episode 320

About this episode

The episode explores the perceived lethality of classic gaming compared to modern gaming systems.

We have heard the cries from the modern gamer about the "unfair" lethality of Classic Gaming and the OSR... but is it REALLY any more dangerous than 5.5e? This week we take a look into what makes a lethal game, and the differences between the old school and modern gaming. *** SUPPORT THE SHOW!
