Tavern Chat

Watch Joe & Erik as they talk about Critical Role and is it really D&D, live-playcasts, D&D editions, and more.

The Tavern took form when blogs were on the rise, and has expanded to podcasts and vidcasts over recent years. What does the future hold for The Tavern?

Join Tenkar & Bad Mike as they are joined by Ben Barsh of Pacesetter Games to talk OSR, D&D, Kickstarters, Gaming News, Ken Whitman, Gareth Skarka, and more.

So, Ken Whitman, AKA Whit Whitman, wrote and directed a movie called The Whittler, but of course he left his name off of all promotional material. Apparently written back in 2005, there was a copyright claim filed by Ed Kramer of Dragon Con fame (and a former roommate of Ken's)

"According to Dave Arneson's Corner of the Table newsletter, Vol. III, #4"  "There will be a medevil "BRAUNSTEIN" April 17, 1971 at the home of David Arneson from 1500 hrs to 2400 hrs with refreshments being available on the usual basis. Players may come at any time and any number are welcome to attend what should prove to be an exciting time.  It will feature mythical creatures and a poker game under the Troll's bridge between sunup and sundown."

I missed a Far West Kickstarter update from February 2021, not on the Kickstarter page, but on the Far West website. Suffice to say, more words, with nothing to back them up.

Glen & Tenkar talk about improvisational adventure techniques one can use in their game sessions. How to improv on the fly ;)

Most players will be unwilling to play swords with personalities as the personalities dictate. It is incumbent upon the DM to ensure that the role of the sword is played to the hilt, with the DM assuming the persona of the sword if necessary - EGG

Tenkar & Bad Mike talk about the announcement that Jeff Grubb's lost Mystara manuscript will now see the light of day, NTRPG Con updates, Covid policy and more.

Dungeons. We know what they are, or do we? Are they defined by the walls around the PCs, or can you have "outdoor dungeons?" Rocky calls the show and explores what may define a dungeon, and it might not be what you expect.
