ReplyDeleteRandom, random, random, random...
ReplyDeleteI came for the free gifts, I stayed for the great company. Congrats on 3000! Always enjoy your posts, you have almost gotten me to think of funding some of the kickstarters you highlight. I suspect at some point I will.
ReplyDeletePadre, you are making me feel like I'm some unsavory tempter ;)
DeleteAnd the winner is....
ReplyDeleteJames who?! You've got my vote as the heart and soul of the OSR, my man! Heavy is the head that wears the crown? Only if you let it get you down, and that doesn't seem to be a problem for you! Congrats, congrats, and more congrats on hitting 3,000! May you post 3,000 more!
ReplyDeleteThe crown is cursed. I'll pass on the crown as it grants no authority, just illusions of grandeur.
DeleteThis shit is fun for me. When it ceases to be fun, I'll change it up so it's fun again. Although if you think I'm prolific with my postings now, just wait until I can retire in 3 years...
Congrats, that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteAh, a nice brew at Tenkar's.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 3k!
ReplyDeleteCongrats for keeping your beer cold all the while. :)

Dak, awesome set of rules. I never liked firearms in my fantasy RPGs before, but you've changed my mind.
DeleteWhat he said.
Deleteagain kudos for your rules on firearms and more points for "first poster" on the new home-brews section of the S&W SRD
DeleteWitty comment!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Erik. Wonderful milestone.
ReplyDeletelet me buy a round for the barkeep cause i only get XP when I spend this gold.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations !
ReplyDeleteCAUTION! Consuming alcohol can lead to wondering where your bra and panties went.
ReplyDeleteImpressive indeed. Well done Tenkar. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for being the news service for the OSR (and other sundries), along with the tedious, but entertaining to me at least, task of keeping Kickstarter hustles honest. Now, about that 10 dollars...
ReplyDeleteCome for the Swords & Wizardry love; stick around for the Kickstarter snarkiness ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for showcasing a couple of my games! You rock.
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
ReplyDeleteThanks for highlighting cool stuff. Here's to another 3000 and more.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, x3000!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Tenkar's! Yes, there's a bearded wizard who wants to hire some help just over there, and indeed, that corner yonder is where our shadowy stranger reclines. Over by the fire is the grizzled old man who loves spinning tales, and as I can tell from your goggle-eyed expression, our barmaids are busty as would be expected.
ReplyDeleteWell. I like free money.
ReplyDeleteI doubt I could write so many posts even in ten years. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Great blog
ReplyDeleteI'm a figment of your imagination.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 3K posts, and here's to 3K more at least!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on hitting such an impressive milestone.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if this comment is before the deadline, but I really appreciate your blog.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And many more!
ReplyDeleteCutting it a bit close, but I'm in for this contest! Congrats on hitting 3000!
ReplyDeleteClosed :)
ReplyDeleteI'll award the prize tomorrow...
