We couldn't have done a daily yearly podcast without you, the listener. I can't thank you enough. Also, a future rant. Tariffs will soon hit the gamers wallet and Cubicle 7 gets the Warhammer 40k RPG license. http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?6310-Warhammer-40K-Wrath-Glory-Now-Tp-Be-Produced-By-Cubicle-7! https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/43201/games-books-periodicals-toys-targeted-new-round-china-tariffs 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

In this FireSide Chat I hangout with Laramie (Tavern Mensch & Bearer of Cider). Laramie is well known for being a huge Hackmaster fan (not Castles & Crusades - my bad ) We have an excellent chat, and if I didn't have to run to physical therapy we would have kept on going ;) 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

In today's Fireside Chat I sit down with Pexx, the Tavern Custodian & my Right Hand. We talk Frog God, Kickstarter, conventions, gaming, geekdom and more. Oh, and all things 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

I sit down with Rokoma (Jessie) from Saga RPG. We got way off the rails and go in directions neither one of us would have guessed.

Minor spoiler alert. I talk about a death or two of some minor characters. More importantly, I rant about the death of a series I followed loyally for nearly 8 full seasons, only to be given a shitburger on the way out.

JoeTheLawyer calls back with a clarification on his OSR Wikileaks comment and I talk legacy and what it means.

Colin talks about real Nazis, I talk about the tern Nazi thrown about as a crutch, Joe compares me to Wikileaks and I talk about the ongoing conversation about Yggsburgh over in the Tenkar's Tavern Facebook Community. https://www.facebook.com/groups/849179298513223/ 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

It seems like I'll be gaining access to emails from just before and after Gary's untimely passing regarding his Castle Zagyg project. Oh, and the Jeremy Hambly / Matt Fantastic legal action has been resolved. See, not the legal action you were looking for ;)

JoeTheLawyer calls in with some thoughts on Paizo publishing for D&D 5e. Also in 5e news, Bethesda pretty much does an outright plagerism of a DM's Guild Adventure..

Yep, Paizo will be releasing a 5e book with their latest crowdfunding project (NOT via Kickstarter or Indiegogo). Renovations continue at Casa de Tenkar.

I hate when those that don't add to the community falsely label members of the community. Thanks to mud slung at Courtney I have an expletive filled rant.

Joint Statement of BJ Hensley and Frog God Games read by your's truly. Renovations continue in La Casa Tenkar :)

I really have too much gaming shit. I found some stuff I hadn't seen in years earlier tonight. Heck, i found one thing I thought I had never received...

The was some legal lawyering activity on my end earlier today having NOTHING t do with any of the current drama.
