Tavern Chat

As always, full disclosure - James is like a brother to me. That doesn't change the fact that he is one of the most skilled and prolific writers in the RPG field. Did I mention The Hero's Journey 2e is James' ultimate project, the one he's been gearing up to for years? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gallantknightgames/the-heros-journey-2e/description Voicemail # ‪(347) 509-5168‬ Support The Tavern www.amazon.com/shop/eriktenkar (affiliate link) https://ko-fi.com/tenkar https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern tenkarstavern.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

JoeTheLawyer, Rach and I met up at the Complete Strategist in Manhattan this morning, then moved across the street to The Captain's Bar & Grill. We talk games, gaming, Lankmar and more. Thankfully we didn't learn until AFTER the podcast that you could get a $1 shot with each $5 beer.

In 2019 Cary Con had an issue with vendor and gaming tables not being ready on time. This year, the Grand Geneva overbooked a significant number of convention guests.
