I seem to constantly see the question pop up in social media - "How can you win at RPGs?" or "Tips to win at Dungeons & Dragons" Usually the questions (and tips) come from the uninformed, but you can "Win" playing RPGs.

For some damn reason, I can never nail down exactly when I started my experience with RPGs, although now I suspect it was Easter vacation of 79 (i mention Christmas vacation of 78 in the podcast, but that math doesn't work ;) 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

The cherry on top has moved. James Raggi did NOT delete An Analysis into the Nature of Man & the Satanic Power He Contains. DTRPG did via a stealth deletion and a stealth announcement on a non-official Twitter account. https://twitter.com/MeredithGerber/status/1180226770278260737?fbclid=IwAR1md-mTlMA66fR5KPRgZy2WnUKlcH7UlpjtOBKGW6dWD_ymcz17jZ0wUvA Voicemail # ‪(347) 509-5168‬ Support The Tavern www.amazon.com/shop/eriktenkar (affiliate link) https://ko-fi.com/tenkar https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

I read James Raggi's "A Word From the Publisher" from Zak Has Nothing to Do with This Book. I haven't read any of it before reading it for the podcast, so you get my live reactions and commentary.

We have a voicemail that posits the theory that poorly printed RPG books, once that lack the lifespan you expect as a consumer, may be planned obsolescence.  Voicemail # ‪(347) 509-5168‬ Support The Tavern www.amazon.com/shop/eriktenkar (affiliate link) https://ko-fi.com/tenkar https://www.patreon.com/tenkarstavern --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support

It seems we constantly revisit the question of the Paladin and the baby orcs. Nature vs nurture. Does it even apply in fantasy RPGs. My thoughts on the matter.
