Home Alone Halflings | B/X D&D Actual Play
Summary
In this episode of BX Brew, the group plays through the multi-module campaign "Bar Maze" using 1981 BX rules. The party explores a halfling burrow, clearing rooms, checking for traps, and searching for secrets while managing their dwindling oil supply. They encounter a collapsed mound and hear goblinoid voices approaching from the woods, prompting the group to take defensive positions on the high ground. The session also features casual banter about the audiobook "19Q4" and the Star Wars Obi-Wan series.
