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

Update: 2021-12-24

Description

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.
