Yep, this is the mystical, magical 1000th post at the Tavern. Holy Crap!
In any case, I'm giving away some free loot.
Courtesy of OneBookShelf/RPGNow, 2 fine folk that add their comments to this post will each receive copies of (in PDF format) Dark Heresy: Inquisitor's Handbook and the Hero's Handbook: Dragonborn.
But wait! There's more! Add your comment now and you'll be entered for a chance to win a copy of Action Castle! or Resolute: The Splintered Realm. Here's how the second part works: for every ten people (or fraction thereof) that add a comment to this post I'll be adding two copies of Action Castle! and one copy of Resolute: The Splintered Realm to the pot. So, if 10 people add themselves to the comment thread - 2 copies of Action Castle! and one copy of Resolute: The Splintered Realm are up for grabs. 21 people add themselves to the comment thread, 6 copies of Action Castle! and 3 copies of Resolute: The Splintered Realm are in the pot!
I think I'll set the max at 20 and 10 copies respectively to give away, but that would require 91 different commenters to hit that number ;)
If you don't want to be considered for a certain item, say so in your comment.
I'll leave this open at least thru the end of the day on Friday, June 17, 2011.
I'll add hyperlinks and any pictures tonight when i get home from work. (edit - or maybe tomorrow - I'm beat and ready from bed...zzzz)

Congrats on the 1000 post mate!
ReplyDeleteA 1000 posts eh? Impressive. I'm only up to 142 myself. Keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of posts - I'm only at 465, and that's with near-daily posting for much of the time it's been up.
ReplyDeleteYou have to give away stuff when you reach 1,000 posts?!? I should have read the fine print.
ReplyDeletelove your blog! i read it almost every single day! don't put me in the drawing tho, you everyday readers would enjoy them and put them to good use!
ReplyDeleteLove you man!
W00t! Pick me pick me! Congrats on 1000 dude! That's epic!
ReplyDeleteWow, 1000 posts. That's a lot O'blogging.
ReplyDeleteGrats on the big 1k!
ReplyDeleteTotal blogin'maniac you are! 1000 posts, that's insane!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1,000 man. I was stunned to discover I was at 600, and that's required some serious "buckling down" to maintain a rate of 1 a day so far this year - a rate you manage to surpass with aplomb.
ReplyDeleteWow! 1000 posts is a pretty awesome accomplishment. Here's to another 1000!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 1000th post! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteSo 3 years and 1000 posts with over 111,000 page views....pretty nice and maybe just a tad bit busy! Congrats on the milestone.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! 1000 posts! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCool! You've reached 10^3 posts!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy thousandth post day. Thanks for all the ideas. :-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Congratulations. I'll feel guilty if I win something here yet again, but that will fade. ;)
ReplyDelete1000 posts!? Amazing. How on earth do you manage?
ReplyDeleteYou can leave me out of the prize raffle if you like. I just wanted to say, congratulations to all those nice posts!
I don't want to enter the contest either, just thank you for the millennium of content.
ReplyDeleteInstead of vying for the prize, here's a gift for the 1000th post, related to Action Castle: T&T stats for a dreadful dweller in darkness, the Grue Guardian.
Grue Guardian
CON 88; Attack: Defiling claws (9d+44); Special: 1/Dark regeneration: Recovers 1d CON + 1d per point of spite rolled; 3/Snuff: Extinguishes all natural light in an enclosed area, or one magical light
Traits:
* Vulnerable to bright light and fire: the Guardian cannot regenerate in the same round that it is struck by bright light or takes fire damage. When hit with bright light or fire dmg, the Grue's Adds drop to 1/2 its current CON
* The Grue Guardian uses its Snuff ability while hidden in order to ambush enemies in favorable circumstances. Each lightbearer must make a L2SR on LUC, or on POW if the the light is magical.
Congrats on the 1000th post! I really don't want a prize either, but just wanted to thank you for the consistently interesting material you provide on your blog.
ReplyDeleteWow that's a lot of posts, Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! 1000 ... that's staggering.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd have said so even if you weren't bribing us for comments :) (In fact, if you draw me for the Dark heresy or Dragonborn books just give it to someone else)
Seriously, this has been a consistently interesting blog since I stumbled onto the whole "OSR" thing a couple years ago. Keep up the good work!
Congratulation on your 1000th post from someone who hasn't updated his gaming blog since 2009...
ReplyDeleteI don't think ive cracked 500. Way to go!
ReplyDelete1000 in 2,5 years. Wow! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHeyo - later than others but still in time, it seems.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations! May I one day be as prolific ;)
I doubt I will see 1000 posts on my blog... This is a great achievement. Congrats, and here is to another thousand!
ReplyDeleteKeeping the quality with the quantity ain't easy. Thanks for all the good stuff! And fighting crime.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work so far. Keep posting!
ReplyDelete1000 posts! Tenkar keep up the great work.
ReplyDeletethe contest is closed. congrats to the winners!
