I'm pretty sure my entry to your channel was that Red Wizards video, probably about 5 years ago as well. I was running Rise of Tiamat and my players were taking a long detour through Thay, so I had to quickly familiarize myself with the lore. Your video actually helped me understand the political situation quite a bit, and then I just invented the rest as I went along. My Thay is probably very different from canon Thay, but my players were pretty enamored with the place so I think I did well.
He's going to be one of the main villains of my new campaign, going be the alias of 'The Necromancer'. He's seeking the book of vile deeds to gain enormous power over fiends and undead and wage a war against the Lord's Alliance.
This video came out at the perfect time!
Agreed with others, great and entertaining video!
So…did they just ripp off Skeletor from the 80s live action He-Man movie for that Dungeon Denezins cover?
Ed Greenwood JUST started a YouTube channel and produced a video on the red wizards of Thay as of yesterday 2/21/23
Great video as always. Just a note, you forgot his most important tile: Larloch's errand boi. (Unless it's been retconned, since the books that mention this are pretty old)
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time.
Honestly? The only thing I still remembered about Szass was that he was OBSESSED with magic items! (even as a lich)
Sometimes even to an "unhealthy" degree (for a mage).
Which is great for any adventurers who could successfully assail him or one of his strongholds. Because you generally ended up with a higher-than-normal amount of magical swag.
Personally, I always like the more "recent" development of Thay "changing tactics" and trying to improve its "public image" and becoming an Artificer/ Merchant power. Granted, they are only doing that in order to conquer via economics instead of magic/ military conquest. But still, a cool evolution IMO.
Any Strixhaven supplements you like? Planning to run a group through the printed adventure.
I'm out of the loop on D&D stuff, how is Ed Greenwood able to write all these Forgotten Realms books, since they seem to not be published by WotC?
Hi Jorphdan (the ph is silent), I'd love to see a review for the new Chronicles of Eberron book by Keith Baker, like you did for Exploring Eberron. Was a useful vid to see if it was worth buying, which I did, cheers 😄
@Jorphdan Hey great vid! Always love learning about my favorite leader of Thay.
Quick side note: I've noted you've mistakenly used images of the Thay Lich "Tarul Var" multiple times in this vid in reference to Tam. He is most assuredly quite a seperate being from Szass Tam.
That's all. Again, great vid!
I now feel compelled to create an Ex-Red Wizard background.
Szass Tam is Dead
You missed the recent module where he is defeated by the Thayan Rebels, killed, and replaced as Zulkir.
Great video Jordan
I thought it was interesting reading the netheril book and having him be gathering the lore.
Love the "spider" design @0:48 the way it seems based on a virus
Nice vid! Would you make one about Bargle?
Szass Tam is one of my favorite villains.
Great stuff! And very helpful with inspiration for an ongoing campaign in nearby Chessenta, and an upcoming play through of Tomb of Annihilation!
9:33 What's the deal with Dan Forden? Giving your soul to Bane makes you toasty!?
Love your lore content. Makes my DM brain go into overdrive for story ideas. I'm a fiend and lore is my drug of choice.
I love books like this @Jorphdan
Little known fact about Szass Tam is that he has no shadow; A young but bold half elf wizard had played a prank on the lich by means of a wish spell and now claims it as his own. I can indeed confirm this for I know the player who performed this feat at a AL event some years past around the time of Goatnado.
I was always under the impression that Szass was a secret servant of Larloch. Is that off base?
Nice video. Nice to see new YouTube videos of dnd characters from you
Can you please do more on red wizards in general? I want to use them in my campaigns after introducing hamun kost
I miss these types of videos. I enjoyed this one.👍👍
Yes yes yes let’s talk about Szass Tam!
The next video will be about the man the legend the one who spared Tam….. Larloch the strongest caster in all of Faerun imo. Aumvor is Voldemort you can't change my mind
> Elixirs
Szass Tam actually being an Archlich would be a hell of a twist.
Glad to see a new lore video drop!
