Is There an Audience for a Weekly Blog Post Recap of the Past Week of Content from The Tavern’s YouTube Channel?

There has been some discussion over on The Tavern’s Facebook’s Community that readers of The Tavern’s Blog are missing out on content that is being shared on The Tavern’s YouTube Channel. I do not have a magical solution to such a problem, and duplicating content between the two mediums is not feasible for many reasons, not the least of which is the amount of time needed to make a full accommodation.

I am proposing to do the following. Once a week, probably on Monday, I would put together a blogpost consisting of paragraph or so long recaps of each YouTube episode from the prior week. Along with each paragraph would be a link to the YouTube episode in question.

While no a perfect solution, it would offer a recap and perhaps enough information as to whether or not one would wish to view an episode for a more complete coverage of the topic in question.

As always, your feedback and opinion is important.

Thanks,

Tenkar

Why "Swords & Wizardry?"

Believe me when I say I have them all in dead tree format. I have OSRIC in full size, trade paperback and the Player's Guide. I have LL and the AEC (and somewhere OEC, but I can't find it at the moment). Obviously I have Basic Fantasy RPG. Actually, I have the whole available line in print. Way too much Castles & Crusades. We all know my love for the DCC RPG. I even have Dark Dungeons in print, the Delving Deeper boxed set, Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea. BOTH editions of LotFP's Weird Fantasy and some dead tree copies of the Greyhawk Grognards Adventures Dark & Deep

I am so deep in the OSR when I come up for breath it's for the OSR's cousin, Tunnels & Trolls

So, out of all that, why Swords & Wizardry? Why, when I have been running a AD&D 1e / OSRIC campaign in Rappan Athuk am I using Swords & Wizardry and it's variant, Crypts & Things, for the second campaign? (Actually, now running a S&W Complete campaign, soon to be with multiple groups)

Because the shit works.

It's easy for lapsed gamers to pick up and feel like they haven't lost a step. I can house rule it and it doesn't break. It plays so close to the AD&D of my youth and college years (S&W Complete especially) that it continually surprises me. Just much less rules hopping than I remember. (my God but I can run it nearly without the book)

I grab and pick and steal from just about all OSR and Original resources. They seem to fit into S&W with little fuss. It may be the same with LL and the rest, but for me the ease of use fit's my expectations with S&W.

Even the single saving throw. That took me longer to adjust to, but even that seems like a natural to me now. Don't ask me why, it just does. Maybe it's the simplicity of it. At 45 52, simplicity and flexibility while remaining true to the feel of the original is an OSR hat trick for me ;)
