Tavern Chat

It's Thanksgiving weekend, and Covid is on the rise. How we celebrated the holiday and socialized safely and ate "mostly" healthy :)

This would have been up last nite, but Anchor was offline. Mike & I talk about Thanksgiving, gaming sales, FLGS, health, and more. Recorded live in front of a Facebook and Youtube audience every Wednesday Night at 8 PM Eastern.

Everyone knows to use shields in AD&D 1e, but do you know the limitations of small, normal, and large shields? What about flanking. Oh, and a Torchlight update. Huzzah! tenkars-tavern.games/Orcus is our sponsor of this episode.

In the back of the Player's Handbook, after the spell descriptions and before the trainwreck of the Psionic Rules, Gary talks about obedience, light sources, and traps, tricks, and encounters. Oh my! tenkars-tavern.games/Orcus

The 1e Player's Handbook gives the DM the option of keeping the player's HP total and current HP secret from the players. Have you ever run such a game? tenkars-tavern.games/Orcus

Every group i played with back in the day had a fighter (or subclass), magic-user, thief, and cleric chosen before dabbling in the subclasses.

I talk about making magic items, especially weapons, unique and memorable.

Ken Whitman, the lying sack of dung, is apparently trying his latest attempt to shake down the KotDT community for more money, claiming he found footage he testified in court was destroyed. Can you say Perjury?

We talk empathy for those who see the world from a differing point of view, and stress focusing on the ties that bind us instead of perseverating on our differences. Sadie the Kitty makes and appearance, and a poop ;)

Bad Mike & Tenkar talk about Kickstarter failures and successes, conventions, gamemastering, and more. Oh, and White Castles...

I follow up on social media, the cesspool that is the main Facebook Feed and Twitter, and the redemption found in Facebook Groups and Discord

Social media is both a bane and a boon these days, and nothing shows its bad side more than the current political environment. Tomorrow is Election Day here in the US. Go out and vote or give up your right to bitch.
