Tavern Chat

Ken Whit Whitman is involved in yet another film-based Kickstarter. No, his name is not on the tin directly, but it's still on the tin as Little Monster's Entertainment.

The Trove has been offline since yesterday. Is it gone for good? Was it good for the gaming community or a festering wound?

I was shown an article by a Taverner which went over some of the D&D 5e demographics. With only 11% of D&D 5e players being 40 years plus, what does that mean to the OSR market, which largely skews older.

’m out and about and figured I’d share a follow up on last night’s episode regarding WotC’s survey numbers and some of the comments in regards.

Yep, right after I was talking about a prior D&D survey, a new D&D survey from WotC pops up - and some folks are getting additional questions with an NDA  https://survey-d.dynata.com/survey/selfserve/53b/21051093?src=facebook#?

It's a double episode of Gamers' Health. Rach and Tenkar were live at NTRPG Con and a week later did a post con wrap-up, complete with possible con crud. Huzzah! 

A special NTRPG Con Livestream hosted by Tenkar & Bad Mike, with special guests as they do a series of whiskey tastings supplied by the Frugal GM.

Tenkar & Glen are live from NTRPG Con

Join Bad Mike and Tenkar as they broadcast live from NTRPG Con's PreCon Get It On! Numerous unscheduled Special Guest appearances :)

Yep, a triple episode. A podcast Hat Trick and post-con catch up :)

D&D White box released in 1974. AD&D 1e released (sorta) in 1977. AD&D 2e released in 1989. D&D 3e released in 2000. D&D 3.5 2003. D&D 4e in 2008 and D&D 5e released in 2014. When will D&D 6e release?

I've been told that ALL Pathfinder players moved over to the Foundry VTT. Just how popular are the various, major virtual tabletops in comparison to each other?

Yep, the Risus RPG is for sale, complete with $300 to $3,000 in Kickstarter obligations. You must make an offer to get actual financial details - I kid you not!

Apparently, xenophobia has been removed from the Ravenloft 5e release. I've always seen xenophobia as a primary characteristic of Ravenloft, no matter if the PCs were humans or demihumans, they were strangers and a possible danger.

Pathfinder 1e was a success in large part to much of the D&D community rejecting D&D 4e. Pathfinder 2e is a direct response to the success of D&D 5e. Why is Pathfinder losing market share to Dungeons & Dragonns 5e? Why isn't Pathfinder 2e the success that Pathfinder 1e was right out of the box?

I use years worth of Roll20 Orr Reports looking at the trends for Pathfinder and 5e.

I've been asked to offer my thoughts on the new Swords & Wizardry Complete Boxed Set. Well, here are those very thoughts...
