One of the pitches for episodes was discussing the best rule I've found in RPGs. I've decided to cover some of the worst rules I've encountered in RPGs first ;) Voicemail # ‪(347) 509-5168‬ Support The Tavern www.amazon.com/shop/eriktenkar (affiliate link) https://ko-fi.com/tenkar   https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern

There is a conversation going on that the OSR id dead. Not sure how many times we will have this discussion, but this one is better thought out than most. Still, the OSR isn't dead so much as evolved and possibly splintered. Oh, and we are giving out gifts today to Michael and Corey.

Christopher Bishop calls in with a brief history and background of B4 - The Lost City (soon to be a Goodman Games re-release). Old Man Grognard Talks ENNies.

Jospeh Goodman announced the next release in the Original Adventures Reincarnated line will be (B4) The Lost City, originally written by Tom Moldvay. Kind of a "deep track" if you ask me.

So, simply smart business or poaching territory? And what is the fair rate to pay Ernie and Jim for being the main attractions? Voicemail # ‪(347) 509-5168‬ Support The Tavern www.amazon.com/shop/eriktenkar (affiliate link) https://ko-fi.com/tenkar   https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern

A less on to be learned in the Pocono Mountains is that a thunder storm can be raging 5 miles away and you have now rain and lots of sunshine. Also, there's some ENnies winners I wish to point out.

Ranting and emotional responses arent all they are cracked up to be. Also, I pay the Joeski Tax with a magic ring.

Pathfinder 2e Released earlier today? Can it do for Pathfinder 1e what Pathfinder 1 did for 3.5? Voicemail # ‪(347) 509-5168‬ Support The Tavern www.amazon.com/shop/eriktenkar (affiliate link) https://ko-fi.com/tenkar   https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern

We are at the middle of the summer, and we've hit the point of campaign suspension till September. When we were kids, summers meant D&D 5 days a week or more. As adults, we are lucky to get in 5 days for the season, with only half the group each time.

When "apples to apples" becomes "apples to oranges", it's often because one does not want direct comparisons to be made. We haven't seen the last 4 quarters of the Roll20 Orr Report, where they discuss numbers related to games run and players using the various RPG systems supported by Roll20. The system used to give us those numbers have changed, and I speculate as to why. https://blog.roll20.net/...

Yes, I'd like to live long and game forever. Or at least, longer than I would if I were unhealthy in my habits. Laramie has some thoughts. Tim wants to play AD&D 1e combat "by the book" and I found the PDF to assist in that - ADDICT. http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/ http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/dmprata/ADDICT%20A4.pdf Voicemail # ‪(347) 509-5168‬ https://www.tenkarstavern.com/2019/07/christ...

I was thinking earlier today during NYC's monsoon about how we, as gamers, help other gamers on a regular basis, but could we do better? Is there a process or such that would make asking for and offering such help easier. I want your thoughts.
