So, thanks to various monthly crates, boxes, grab bags, Kickstarters and the like I have a shit ton of duplicates. Without a local gaming group to bleed off the overflow (and with a reorganization of my gaming collection revealing more of an overlap than i expected) I need to give some of this away.
Thus the announcement of the Tenkar's Tavern Monthly Gift Box of What I Hope is Not all Crap Giveaway.
What is that exactly?
Basically I stuff a Priority Mail box full of gaming shit, new and old. Some may be $100 game books, others old Judges Guild stuff, some Frog God adventures, maybe some 4e and Pathfinder, comics, cards, dice and more - listen - I need to clear space and this is what we are doing. 'Nuff said ;)
How do you get in the running for such a gift of goodness? Comment on this post by 8:59 PM Eastern time FEBRUARY 21st, 2018 (i left the date out). I'll announce the recipient on Tavern Chat around 9:30 PM Wednesday Night, February 21st, 2018. Note, I'm only shipping within the United States. Sorry, but I'm covering shipping and the goodies and International shipping is ridiculous.
I'll do this monthly so long as there are gifts to gift...
I'll pass on being entered, but this is a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteConsider me entered! Someone's overflow of gaming products is another man's treasure!
ReplyDeleteI'm in, hoping that it's the Judge's Guild stuff that ends up in the box. :-)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - they produced a lot of good stuff back in the day, and it's fairly easy to convert to almost all the OSR games available.
DeleteVery cool, I’m in!
ReplyDeleteThis is really neat, count me in, please!
ReplyDeleteI lost both of those top two sneak peaks in the "Great Basement Flood of '96" and know those are worth re-acquiring, nevermind what other cool goodies you might have to give away. Very generous of you.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I lost a ton of stuff in the Great Basement Flood of 2005 (made worse because the clean-up crew the insurance company hired never documented what they were throwing away - despite reassurances to the contrary - and I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t keep an eagle eye on them. At one point I discovered that they’d moved a couple of box loads of plastic and metal miniatures to the curb!)
DeleteSounds like a great thing! I'll enter and hope to win too. :-)
ReplyDeleteFree stuff is always awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love both receiving mail and seeing crazy rpg books, so I'm in. :-)

ReplyDeleteI'd like to be counted in as well.
ReplyDeleteI am in. Yep, I am subscriber to the other box of Tavern box of stuff lol
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet. Please enter me into the running.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I get the idea that this is a 4e giveaway?
ReplyDeleteI want in on this.
ReplyDeleteBears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
ReplyDeleteme! :)
ReplyDeleteDamn! Two minutes late.
ReplyDeleteArgh. Just missed it. I blame CST
ReplyDeleteack - 8:59 on the 21st!
ReplyDeleteDang it, missed my chance
ReplyDeleteFree stuff is always good! This sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteAh so the 21st not today? So we're all still in?
ReplyDeleteyep - next wed
DeleteGreat contest. Sorry I missed it.
ReplyDeleteyou didnt miss
DeleteOh, I thought it said just a time, not a date. I misread and assumed I missed it by an hour or so.
DeleteCOOL! I'm in (worst case, duplicates can be redistributed. I have a similar give away pile going to a local con (convention, not Whitman))
Dang it, missed it by *that* much.
ReplyDelete(Yeah, I know the 21st, but I figure at this point, it is now a tradition.)
I'm in. Always room for a few more additions
ReplyDeleteThe Illhiedrin Book is a great one to run with kids. So fun. But I only have it in PDF, please put me in the running Erik! :)
ReplyDelete—Ron—
Very cool and very generous.
ReplyDeleteI could probably find space for more, if chosen. (aka sjard on discord)
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSounds cool!
ReplyDeleteSure, why not. I'll toss my hat in the ring.
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I love the 'Tavern and the Tavernmeister's gifts!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome.. Hope to get myself some Tenkar loot!
ReplyDeletequite happy to participate in this one :)
ReplyDeleteOoh I'd like a chance too! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou’d think a free trade zone would figure out a way to have standard - or at least reasonable - mailing costs. As it is One Book Shelf typically prints and mails my RPG books to Toronto from the Czech Republic or Belgium because trans-Atlantic shipping is so much cheaper than postage across the US-Canada border. (Not so much for industry who routinely move parts and components back and forth across the border at negligible cost as long as they’re not using postal/courier services).
ReplyDeleteThat is insane. I believe you. But it's bonkers.
DeleteCount me in, please!
ReplyDeleteNot trying to skew the results, but Monday is my birthday.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, count me in.
ReplyDeleteHere goes nuthin
ReplyDeleteI’m in.
ReplyDeleteGimme, Gimme, Gimme!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Generous! I'm game.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Thanks for your generosity, Erik!
ReplyDeleteGive me your crap Erik. If I have to read your posts it's the least you could do.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to take some stuff off your hands mate.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to add to my own collection of RPG bits and bobs.
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteHave a good one! :)
So, yeah, count me in.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to accept your cast offs. Now to figure out how to listen to a tavern chat
ReplyDeleteSounds cool. And a tip to international readers: use an American reshipping company!
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
ReplyDeleteAs a have-not-enough, I'll always take charity!
ReplyDeleteA mystery box! Oh yeah!!
ReplyDeleteCount me in :)
ReplyDeleteAnd if you're afraid of shipping cost I've got a US address ;)
Twelve more days of OSRmas, apparently. Just making up the rules as you go!
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested. =) In case it doesn't show a name for me, I joined the Discord server as Scia.
ReplyDeleteAdd me too?
ReplyDeleteVery cool use of those extras. I'd love a chance.
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea--I'll put my name in the hat.
ReplyDeleteI would like to enter!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I'm in.
ReplyDeleteCount me in too! Your surplus is my hoard.
ReplyDeleteA guy could always use a good bit of overflow. Count me in.
ReplyDeleteAlways looking for new stuff. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteMighty generous of you.
ReplyDeleteThe last thing I need is more stuff but... What the hell? Count me in!
ReplyDeleteVery generous and I want some!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Love a grab bag.
ReplyDeleteCool, thank you!
ReplyDeletehmm not sure how to get this to put my name up. Eric N.
ReplyDeleteEnter this guy please!
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I need swag to give out to my game store gaming group.
ReplyDeleteI'm in :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good mystery mailing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I would like to be included. If I already have some utems, I plan to pass those along to friemds who don't. So I guess that is the rpg equivalent of paying it forward.

ReplyDeleteInteresting, I had commented earlier but its not here. Oh well I love me some gaming stuff.

ReplyDeleteYou sir, are a mensch! Please allow me to plead for the mysterious box o stuff!
ReplyDeleteSomehow Google keeps dropping my first name... It's Bob
DeleteI never ever win anything, but I'll throw my hat in the ring here, as I could use some new gaming goodness...
ReplyDeleteMy brother (in a evangelical fit) sold off almost all of what I had behind my back (at least he gave the money to my ailing mother), so anything would be welcome, especially Judges' Guild stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this very entertaining blog and your generosity is much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteCount me in please. Good luck everybody!
ReplyDeletePlease count me in - and kudos on a fantastic idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI am proudly tossing my name into the helm, er, hat...
ReplyDeleteEh, what the hey. Enough folks have absorbed my overflows, I can offer to take some of yours.
ReplyDeleteSign me up for a chance
ReplyDeleteSounds good!
ReplyDeletePlease count me in but if any 4E product shows up in my mail box consider me your enemy for life.
ReplyDeleteVery awesome and generous idea!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. You are most generous, sir.
ReplyDeleteA big box of RPG goodness, hard to pass up.
ReplyDeleteI don't really need anymore RPG stuffs personally, but I know a lady who runs an RPG club for a school where she teaches special education who could put a bundle of these things to good use.
ReplyDeletePretty cool.
ReplyDeleteCount me in. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteooooohhh.... count me in! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool, thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteSweet loot, of course I am in. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is exciting, and who does not need a box of random stuff?
ReplyDeleteSlipping in just in the nick of time! Random gaming stuff is my middle name - count me in!
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick me!!!
ReplyDeleteYes please
ReplyDeleteToo bad I'm in Europe :P Good luck, folks! Nice idea!
