I have six of the Gary Gygax Gord the Rogue books, and I've yet to read them. Sigh.

JoeTheLawyer calls the show with some input on what he would like to see in the upcoming S&W Boxed set. I get sidetracked and talking about Kickstarter and Media Mail.

I asked this question on the blogside, but I think it needs to be asked here too. What do you want to see in the new Swords & Wizardry Boxed set that will be releasing soon via Kickstarter?

RPGs are meant to be fun. If things aren't fun in your RPG session for you and your players, it may be time to reboot.

I just finished watching Joker. Excellent movie and inspiration on how to present your BBEGs to your plyers in your next campaign.

Ah, what tangled webs we weave.  Gwen Baker on Facebook pretty much accuses Matt Mercer of working on his recent WotC Campaign Setting while under contract with Green Ronin. https://www.facebook.com/dungeon.dames/posts/2674270095942318 https://www.geeknative.com/70491/matthew-mercer-defends-explorers-guide-to-wildemount-and-thats-a-shame/ https://greenronin.com/critical-role/2016/08/14/press-release-geek-sundry-and-green-ronin-to-create-critical-role-rpg-books/ https://amzn.to/36U4Q9t (affiliate link) Voicemail # ‪(347) 509-5168‬ Support The Tavern www.amazon.com/shop/eriktenkar (affiliate link) https://ko-fi.com/tenkar https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern tenkarstavern.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

I'm in a miserable mood. My sciatic is kicking up a notch or five. So asking me on The Tavern's Discord Server to give roles to your friends @fuck and @shitworld is probably a poor choice. I vent.

Last night I posted about the OSR page on DriveThruRPG and how the "Hottest OSR Community Releases" was all material released for Zweihnder. Not a surprise, because Zweihander IS the only Community Content Partner on DriveThruRPG that identifies as OSR. Commentary from Rob Conleys Bat in the Attic blog. https://www.tenkarstavern.com/2020/01/theres-osr-community-content-at.html?showComment=1578775472857#c8652001050999272318 https://batintheattic.blogspot.com/2020/01/zweihander-open-content-and-rely-to.html Voicemail # ‪(347) 509-5168‬ Support The Tavern www.amazon.com/shop/eriktenkar (affiliate link) https://ko-fi.com/tenkar https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern tenkarstavern.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

When someone knows the community rules but decided they know better and it shouldn't apply to them "because", it really gets my Irish up.

Fantasy Flight Games has not officially announced it, but they are in the midst of some major layoffs.

As always, full disclosure - James is like a brother to me. That doesn't change the fact that he is one of the most skilled and prolific writers in the RPG field.

JoeTheLawyer, Rach and I met up at the Complete Strategist in Manhattan this morning, then moved across the street to The Captain's Bar & Grill. We talk games, gaming, Lankmar and more. Thankfully we didn't learn until AFTER the podcast that you could get a $1 shot with each $5 beer.
