TSR Filed for an Extension of Time to File a Statement of Use, re: Star Frontiers Trademark

December 27, 2021 21:13 - 13 minutes - 12.3 MB

Ah, sweet, sweet TSR3. Sometimes you just need to stop and smell the bullshit, because it is heavy in these three letters. And boy, oh boy! Justin decided to troll the Gamers' Health video I did with my niece Shannon on Christmas Day.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHju_pmM80M&t=787s Let's Go, Justin! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/support

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

December 24, 2021 02:31 - 14 minutes - 13 MB

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. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/s...

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

December 24, 2021 02:28 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MB

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/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spo...

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

December 24, 2021 02:20 - 14 minutes - 13.7 MB

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/...

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

December 24, 2021 02:17 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MB

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. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...

Talking Crit Special Edition - Why Is TSR3 Filing Suit over Trademarks that it Has Abandoned?

December 16, 2021 17:34 - 45 minutes - 41.3 MB

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.

TSR Con Rescheduled for Gary Con Weekend - "New" Star Frontiers RPG Out of Stock Before Publication

TSR Con has been moved from the weekend of July 4th (when every hotel within 15 miles was likely sold out to non-gamers) to the same weekend as Gary Con (where every hotel within 15 miles is likely sold out to gamers). A not so subtle attempt to steal bandwidth. Also, there is a Star Frontiers Game listed for sale at the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum, but it's out of stock.
