Bad Mike & Tenkar are back with another Talking Crit Live!, this time joined by Zine creators Jeff Jones & Adam Kovak. Also, this week in WotC stupid :)

Hasbro is a most ethical company. How do we know? They paid to be able to self-report that they are most ethical. Now THAT is what I call "ethical"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY9lTIsRnW0&ab_channel=DungeonCraft https://ethisphere.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethisphere_Institute https://www.tenkarstavern.com/search?q=feedspot https://blog.feedspot.com/rpg_blogs/ https://blog.feedspot.com/osr_blogs/?_src=alsoin Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

Man, imagine if WotC has a competent Director of Strategic Response Communications six months ago. This Week in Gaming Stupid may not have been a lock for WotC as it has been... https://boards.greenhouse.io/wizardsofthecoast Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

The boys are back! Joe, Tenkar, Rob, Greg, and other random party members will be live to keep YOU entertained ;)

On a very special Talking Crit Live, a bonus episode if you will, Bad Mike & Tenkar are joined by nonother than Luke Gygax!

I was watching JoetheLawyer's coverage of today's UA update, and I found I had to do a video myself on the redefinition of what is considered "part of the rules". Yes, if you change the classes in the next version of D&D, the rules may still be compatible with older releases, but the game balance will be gone. Here's my reaction and comment video :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeXUd-LJafo (UA) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5W0YWXuHXw&t=359s (JoetheLawyer) Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

Say someone is doing videos, giving an early peek at "unreleased" content. Do you: A) Ask them politely to stop doing so B) Ask politely, but in writing C) Send them a C&D D) Send in the Pinkertons You know where this is going... https://gizmodo.com/magic-march-of-the-machine-aftermath-leak-pinkertons-1850369015 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

I'm not sure who the audience is that is the target of this Kickstarter. What do Assassin's Creed and Warhammer have to do with the American Revolution? How can a game be "Beloved by dads, moms, and parents of all genders" when it hasn't even been released yet? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flagbearergames/the-american-crisis-a-nations-and-cannons-adventure-for-dnd-5e/description Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

Join Glen & Tenkar are they return with another triple-D podcast. Tenkar has Covid. Hilarity will ensue ;)

There are rumors from Gary Con that we'll see a crowdfunder for the Gygax Memorial Fund. Will this be simply more good money after bad? https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/300580070 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

Zak Smith - love him or loath him, there likely is little middle ground. Probably one of the most talented adventure writers in the OSR, if not RPGs in general when he puts his effort into the task, he is also, IMHO, quite an asshole. In any case, he seems to have forced his second public apology and settlement from someone that publicly accused him of unproven criminal acts. https://coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2022/03/on-zak-sabbath-smith-lawsuits.html Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

The E Gary Gygax Will has its trial later this week. The will was supposedly uncovered by Tom Desanto in 2018, when he was negotiating with Gail Gygax to license Gary Gygax's IP for a streaming series. Needless to say, finding the will put Gail's control over the IP in doubt. Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

Google+ ceased over 4 years ago, and it is a social platform I greatly miss. Was it as good as I remember, or were the wheels coming off near the end as social media became full of opinions and lacked civil discussions.

The Random Party Generator is back, and tonight they are looking at who is writing for WotC, ShadowDark, OSE, the OSR, and beyond.

Sometimes we have to be reminded that what we think is important is not important to others. At other times, we need to be reminded that civil society is built on commonalities, not differences. And sometimes, certain conversations belong in one venue and not another. Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdpAASpAI7vu-bZx6pP_mQ/join

Bad Mike & Tenkar will be joined by game designer Greg Christopher to discuss Greg's recent and upcoming releases for the ShadowDark RPG as well as Terra Invictus, his "other" fantasy campaign setting.

Rach & Tenkar return with another Gamers' Health Live! Tonight, one of the topics will be the benefits of eating healthy - there are more benefits than just the obvious ones.

Old Man Grognard and Tenkar are joined by Alex Macri, perhaps best known for the Adventurer Conqueror King System. Woot!
