Tavern Chat

Today is the 19th anniversary of 9-11. Rach and I talk my recent health updates, Mental and emotional health. Oh, an yoga :)

I missed the 1st quarter Orr Report from back n May 2020. Interesting numbers.

Swords & Wizardry Light was my retirement project. It was a pleasant challenge.

Joe the Layer calls and does a Matt Jackson I follow up with my own D&D is Satan story ;)

I shed no tears at the demise of Kotaku. UK. Sadly, the Kotaku.com site still exists. Also, memory lane with the Mail Order Hobby Shop

I’ve never understood how weapon speed impacts tied initiative.

Season 2 of The Boys is on Amazon Prime. Damn it has started out good! Also, a Gamer’s Health voicemail

This has been a busy week, with 3 doc appointments in the bag. Don’t be like Tenkar, and wait until you are on Death’s Door to address your health.

Want to sit in on some D&D related seminars? Here’s Your chance

The OSR makes a huge splash on Humble Bundle. Huge vale for as little as a buck. Go to Tenkar tavern.com if you want to support The Tavern with your purchase :)

Rach is going to complete her 500 hr Yoga Instructor training starting later this month, with the intent of offering Zoom Yoga classes online to the community starting 2021. The Midnight setting from 3.0 will be returning for 5.0. I loved that setting.

Holy F! Gareth is nearly 9 years late with Far West, yet he’s working a new project to separate fools from their money. He makes Ken Whitman look good.

DM Dan calls the show and asks about the AD&D 1e podcast that never got off the ground

It appears to e that as ENworld has turned into a bit of a house organ it has lost some of its luster (and web traffic). With the latest survey from WotC, is this a sign of the end of 5e? Were your bartender a cat, he’d already have buried off about 5 lives, more or less. I’ve been told not to count them ;)

I’ve been MIA since last Saturday, as I passed out after having outdoor lunch at my local pub. I explain what happened, what I learned and what I need to do going forward.

We have an email regarding the combat wheelchair and I do a follow up. I tip my toes into politics and offend both sides.

Today Rach and I talk about pets and how they help maintain emotional health.

Grognardia is back. James Mail is posting again! The combat wheelchair is all the rage - but isn’t role playing meant for escapism?

JoeTheLawyer calls the show in regards to virtual conventions and virtual gaming

We are learning in the midst of Covid that many jobs that were previously in office space can now be done from home. Same, to some extent, with conventions. What do we need to do to make virtual conventions more real?

Apocalypse Nerd called the show and asked me to explain what the OSR is and what the OGL is. I do my best to answer...

Rob and I talk Kickstarter, blogs, Blackmarsh and more!

Fireside Chat's return with Tom Knaus as a special guest.   Edit - this recording was horrid. I'm in slow motion - listen at your own risk

I made a chicken stir-fry for dinner tonight. Low carb and low sodium. Eating healthy can also mean eating well.

Yep, thanks to my pointing out the nonsensical phrase added to the end of the item description, I’ve now been labeled a Fascist & a Marxist. Woot!
