Tavern Chat

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/christmas-in-july-dtrpg-sale-osr.html Support The Tavern www.amazon.com/shop/eriktenkar (affiliate link) https://ko-fi.com/tenkar  https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

Tim Shorts (of the Gothridge Manor Podcast) has some thoughts on the ENnies.

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.

Yep, today marks three years of retirement for me, and although the month of July has been hectic with personal and family obligations, I do have plans for the summer.

In Season 3 of Stranger Things, D&D still plays a role, but it is shown more as something of the time of childish things to be left behind. Although I talk about the place of D&D, as for the plot of Season 3, it is a spoiler free podcast ;) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

Ah, sweet "I'm a gonna punch Tenkar in the f'n throat!" Gareth. He sneaks a Far West update in on his dead intothefarwest.com website. How do you control the narrative?

It seems that many (if not most) of the Kickstarters that fund but fail to deliver in a timely manner (if at all) share a common denominator - their creators often have mental health issues.
