Support a Gaming Family Facing Eviction


The below GoFundMe was brought to my attention by James Spahn (White Star and far more). The subject of the GoFundMe, as James told me, is:

Chris Travis has run the RPG Gamers Secret Santa tirelessly and thanklessly for years. He's having a shitshow of a situation and could use a hand.

There comes a time when help is needed, not just for yourself but for your family. Chris is having that time.

Support a Family Facing Eviction

It is Saturday night, September 14th, at approximately 10 PM ET. 

The Tavern will match the first $250 raised by members of The Tavern's Community by Monday night, September 16th, at 10 PM ET. The window is short because Chris has a brief time window to correct his violations.

Comment below if you donate or, if you wish to remain anonymous, email me at tenkarsDOTtavern at that gmail thing with your donation amount. Please feel free to spread the word.

Deal of the Day - Monstrosities (OSR Creature Book)

My favorite book from the Swords & Wizardry Days at Frog God Games is Monstrosities. I have two copies of it in print. Excessive, I know, but it IS that good!

Today's Deal of the Day at DTRPG is Monstrosities. Usually $24.99 in PDF, it is on sale for $10 until tomorrow morning.

Monstrosities thundered onto the OSR landscape when it debuted in 2013. Ten years after its first appearance, Monstrosities is back and better than ever with over 500(!) monsters.

Are you tired of seeing the same old boring monsters in your campaigns? Fear not, for the ultimate monster compendium is here again! And it's a monster of a book, pun intended.

You can never have too many monsters! No matter what kind of campaign, there are foes galore to stock its wildernesses and dungeons, even the unknown depths of its mysterious oceans. This is a compendium that contains the monsters from the rulebook and many monsters from the First Edition of the original roleplaying game, but there are hundreds and hundreds of completely new beasts. This book has everything you could possibly need to spice up your game.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your hands on this book and start unleashing an army of monsters on your unsuspecting players. Who knows, they might just thank you for giving them a challenge they'll never forget. Or they might curse your name as they run for their lives. Either way, it's sure to be a wild ride.

Note: This is a 2023 revised printing of the original Swords & Wizardry monster book, updated with errata, hundreds of illustrations, and twenty more monsters for your OSR game.

Kickstarter - JOHN CARTER OF MARS® THE AUDIO SERIES w/5e RPG & Woola Plush



An audio drama starring SEAN PATRICK FLANERY, TIM RUSS, BRUCE BOXLEITNER, and TOM BAKER with RPG, CDs, books, prints, and Woola plush!

Imagine my surprise when one of the creators behind the John Carter of Mars The Audio Series reached out to me to set up a potential appearance as a guest on one of the Wednesday night live streams. Then, imagine my further surprise when I found out there was a week left in the Kickstarter, and I had failed to schedule said appearance. Yep, the last few weeks have been… hectic in the Tenkar household.

Well, I’ll be backing the John Carter of Mars The Audio Series. Over the last few years, I’ve become hooked on audiobooks and audio dramas. It's my preferred method of consuming fiction these days.

Backer levels start at $25 for the audio series and go up from there.

John Carter, science fiction’s original and greatest hero, returns in a multi-cast audio drama starring Sean Patrick Flanery of Young Indiana Jones and The Boondock Saints in the title role, and co-starring Tim Russ (Star Trek: Voyager), Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5, TRON), and Tom Baker (Doctor Who).

We're also offering a role-playing game supplement compatible with both the Fifth Edition of the world's most popular RPG, OSR ("Old School Revival"), and Pathfinder Second Edition rules, a digital download of the audio drama, a double CD set with Frank Frazetta art, a foldable map of Barsoom, limited-edition novels published in English and native Barsoomian (Martian), and the first-ever plush of John Carter’s loyal companion, Woola™!
