Tavern Chat

The main Tunnels & Trolls Facebook group went dark last week, leaving hundreds of T&T fans without a home. Although there is a new group to take its place, it shows what can happen in social media if a publisher doesnt have control over its own communities. https://www.facebook.com/groups/deluxetunnelsandtrolls/about/ Support the Tavern www.amazon/shop/eriktenkar https://ko-fi.com/tenkar  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

Who would really bring an Int 3 adventurer on an adventure? How would a Str 3 magic-user make the 5 mile trek to a dungeon? Oh, and a good ole' 'F U" to a jackass or two.

An update? No way! And of course the issues mentioned would not be issues if this had only been completed in a timely fashion. Even hitting the ludicrous Jan 2019 date would have solved issues. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lotfp-hardcover-referee-book#/ Support the Tavern www.amazon/shop/eriktenkar https://ko-fi.com/tenkar   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

Ivy calls the show. Then the talk turns towards sandboxes and hex crawls, and what players need to do for their GM.

I'm working on an adventure for use in the Tenkar's Tavern One Shot Roleplaying Group, Shire Con and Gamehole - Demonic Dungeon of the Bone Dreamer. I talk a bit about the differences between writing an adventure for yourself, convention play and for others to run. Oh, and a bit more on "drones" with a voicemail from Glen Halstrom.

E401 and 402 have generated record numbers of plays in such a short period and some amazing support has been given, but fear of the Outrage Brigade prevents folks from making such publicly. https://www.tenkarstavern.com/ https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern Ko-fi.com/tenkar --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

I argue that the OSR is more inclusive than the Gatekeepers of the "walled gardens" and "safe spaces" allow their small communities to ever be.

I know what its like do deal with asshole customers (I worked retail for 8 1/2 years) I also know what it is like dealing with an angry public that makes things personal when you can't respond in kind (cop for 20 years) Is is worth 100 British Pounds to make an asshole that you've wronged go away and not fuck with you current Kickstarter? I would call that money well spent. I guess Morrus / ENWorld doesn't see it the same way. https://www.rpgpub.com/threads/kickstarter-a-touch-more-class-is-live-and-funded-in-just-4-minutes.3144/ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enworld/rebuilding-en-world --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support
