On Communication at the Gaming Table - It is More Than setting a Scene and Interpreting Die Rolls

2021-12-2414:09

Yesterday, Rach and I talked a bit about consent at the gaming table. The conversation that has popped up about that cast has been amazing, both on YouTube and on Facebook, and thanks to that ongoing conversation, I think I missed something yesterday. Communication at the gaming table has to occur before consent can even be an issue, and part of that communication is being honest with your GM before the session even starts. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/support

On Consent at the Gaming Table Over Removing Complete Themes (re: recent Paizo response)

2021-12-2420:29

Strangely enough, I find myself inching closer to X-Cards at the gaming table for organized play / convention games over completely removing themes that some may find triggering. Rach joins me for this one, as I figured we needed the opinion of one that was NOT a grognard ;) https://owenkcstephens.com/2021/12/13/from-a-freelancer-an-open-letter-to-erik-mona/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/support

PDFs are Convenient, But Print Can't be RetConned - Is WotC Making 5e Earlier Printings Collectible

2021-12-2414:57

It's all over the interwebs. WotC has been making stealth changes to the lore of many of its releases, to correct language that it sees as possibly problematic. This is both the advantage and curse of digital content. But has this made earlier 5e printing more valuable and collectible? https://www.wargamer.com/dnd/races-alignments-lore-removed https://boundingintocomics.com/2021/12/16/wizards-of-the-coast-removes-lore-deemed-problematic-from-dungeons-dragons/ https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2021/12/dd-wotc-removes-racial-alignments-retcons-drow-in-new-batch-of-errata.html https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/rg4jut/writeup_of_all_the_lore_thats_beein_removed_from/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/support

Why is Tenkar called "Tenkar"? A Brief History of the Name and Why it is Used

2021-12-2412:19

Ah, you've gotta love the internet trolls. On yesterday's video, a troll spammed the comments section with my "real" last name (not a secret, it's been public for years on Swords & Wizardry Light and Swords & Wizardry Continual Light). I figured it was time to explain where the name came from, why I used it, why I continue to use it, and more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/support

2021-12-1645:08

TSR3 has surrendered or abandoned nearly every trademark it has named in its legal action against WotC. In 2 weeks, if TSR3 takes no further action, the Star Frontiers TM will be abandoned.
