It came up in last night's weekly Tavern Chat hangout on the Tenkar's Tavern Discord Server - in B/X, Magic Missile had a duration of 1 turn, allowing for some interesting implementations.  Support Tavern Chat https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support Support the Tavern Chat Podcast on Patreon Read the Tenkar's Tavern Blog Join the Tenkar's Tavern Discord Server RPG Breakfast Club Coast to Coast Podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

Apparently I need to read my RPG rulebook just a wee bit closer going forward. I just recently realized Elves in Swords & Wizardry can only be fighter/magic-users, fighter/magic-user/thieves or plain old thieves. No single class fighters or magic-users, and no multi classing with just thief and a singe other class. Go figure.

James Smith (Dreams of Mythic Fantasy) passed yesterday. He was one of the early OSR bloggers and his return to the blogging scene in November of 2018 was long overdue. God bless. Far too soon. https://www.forevermissed.com/james-albert-smith-jr/#about https://dreamsofmythicfantasy.blogspot.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

Verbal, Somatic, Material - the three types of spell components in AD&D 1e. How much of that has carried over to the OSR clones. Segments, spell interruption, shield size and number of use - we've dropped them all.

In today's installment in the Designers & Makers Fireside Chats I sit down with Glynn Seal - aka Monkeyblood. Glynn is one of the premier mapmakers in the OSR and his Midderlands setting is second to none. Be warned - our recording app hiccuped about 27 minutes into the episode, but we recovered. We talk everything and anything related RPG and old school gaming. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/monkeyblooddesign/the-city-of-great-lunden/description https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/7771/MonkeyBlood-Design?affiliate_id=1446 (note - affiliate link - a portion of sales will go to support The Tavern) Support Tavern Chat https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support Support the Tavern Chat Podcast on Patreon Read the Tenkar's Tavern Blog Join the Tenkar's Tavern Discord Server RPG Breakfast Club Coast to Coast Podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

Gail is still at it. More than a dozen disjointed postings on Facebook today about DeSanto, Luke Gygax and even little ole me. Could it be that the DeSanto lawsuit and the revelation of a second will that does not leave the rights to the IP with Gail (or her designated inheritor) after her death is pushing her to the edge. Or is it manipulation, and attempt to appear incompetent to get out of the lawsuit and the contract she signed. I was forwarded an interesting PM right before I recorded this which may change your mind...
