Today’s episode clears up one of the most misunderstood AD&D rules, characters with two classes. Not multi-classing. Not dual-classing as later editions define it. The original rule, how it actually works, and why people misread it. This is about switching careers, not stacking powers.

That’s a wrap on 2025 in the AD&D Universe, a year of rulings over rules, forgotten DM tools, hard calls at the table, and why old-school AD&D still works when you let the referee decide. #ADnD #OSR #EvilDungeonMaster #OldSchoolDnD #TTRPG #RoleplayingGames

This episode is a year-end wrap up for the AD&D 1E podcast. I talk about what we covered this year, what I enjoyed, and how the show has grown. More important, I ask you where you want this podcast to go in 2026.Do you want me to keep it focused on AD&D 1E. Do you want AD&D to stay the core, but with the occasional chat about other games and things I am into. Do you want me to try something new. I lay out the options, share my thoughts, and ask you to send your feedback so I know what you want to hear next year. I have a poll here on spotify, or you can go to my website and answer the question!
