GoFundMe - Help the Gardner Family Through Rocky's Cancer Battle


Where do I start? I first met Rocky at Gary Con in 2016. I had literally no idea who he was; I just knew that he had a larger-than-life personality, and I wanted to know more. Over the next few years, and well over a dozen various conventions, I came to find that Rocky and his wife, Kendra, (as well as their boys) had become friends and integral parts of this extended OSR family I find myself a part of.

Kendra reached out to me back in 2020 (yes, THAT year) to let me know about Rocky's health struggles, as I had recently had my own. What I went through is nothing compared to what Rocky, Kendrs, and their family have gone through over the last five years, let alone Rocky's recent Stage 4 cancer diagnosis.

As I've mentioned before, the funds raised through The Tavern's DTRPG Affiliate Program belong to the community, and this is one of those times I get to put those words into practice.

Here is a link to a GoFundMe Page set up to help the Gardner Family in their time of need.

The Tavern will match the first $250 raised by members of The Tavern's Community for the Gardner Family. Just make your donation, then leave a comment below indicating the amount you donated.

I thank you in advance. Any amount is appreciated.

Kickstarter - Pulp-Drenched Cities of Cha'alt (Venger Does Vornheim)


Venger is infamous for publishing quality content that pushes the envelope - or even occasionally turns it inside out.

This time, Venger is doing something "completely different" and yet "done before". What, exactly? He plans to "Out Vorheim" Vornheim.

I created the campaign setting of Cha'alt because I wanted The Black Pyramid (that first book's gonzo, funhouse megadungeon) to be part of an entire world, not just on its own.  And I was inspired to create The Black Pyramid and go with high-end production values because of Zak S' Maze of the Blue Medusa.

7 years later (and hopefully not my last Cha'alt book), I now go back to something else Zak made half a lifetime ago, Vornheim, to focus my tentacles on the various cities of Cha'alt.  Again, this new book will be very loosely inspired, and will end up looking almost nothing like Vornheim or anything else you've ever seen.  

Pulp-Drenched Cities of Cha'alt is $20 in PDF and $40 in Hardcover plus PDF.

You know you want to ;)

Kickstarter - DarkSpace (Sci-Fi Rules for Shadowdark)

It's no secret that I'm a fan of Shadowdark. In the eyes of some in the OSR, for that heresy alone, I should be forced to carry The Dice of Shame. I do strongly believe that Shadowdark has been a net boon to the OSR, and like it or not, as a system, it has brought fresh eyes and blood into the OSR. But I digress. :)

DarkSpace brings scifi to the Shadowdark system, and who doesn't want an opportunity to play some OSR (or OSR-adjacent) SciFi? It's kinda like peanut butter and chocolate.

DarkSpace is a sci-fi rules hack for the award-winning Shadowdark RPG! Use Shadowdark's lightweight rules to craft your own sci-fi adventures in whatever setting and genre of science fiction you want!

This 200-page, HARDBACK edition of DarkSpace expands on the best-selling DarkSpace Core Rules, giving GMs and Spacers many new options for their campaigns:

Revised Archetypes, including the all-new Machine-Based archetype, which expands on the Multi-Function Android archetype from the Core Rules and allows for tech-based spacers, including Power Armor!

DarkSpace PDFs are 19. Print (Hardback with Ribbon *NOT POD) plus PDF is 49. Reasonable pricing, especially for the Print version.
