Last Day to Sign Up for the First Month of the Tenkar's Tavern OSR Crate


Yep, today is the last chance to sign up for the inaugural Tenkar's Tavern OSR Crate. If you sign up tomorrow you will be starting with the second crate and miss out on all of this month's goodies.

I've been asked what my curating philosophy is for the OSR Crate. Here's how I answer the question:
We have about 15 content creators looking to participate in the monthly crate at the moment with others interested but waiting on their new content. Personally, I want to explore some of the older products of the OSR - such as Blackmarsh, which is often overlooked and hardly ever grabbed in print. Or some of Matt Finch’s early work. I also want to explore some of the up and comers that are creating content, like Thom Wilson and Jason Hobbs. Then maybe surprise folks and throw in some Venger Santanis. 
The OSR isn’t limited to D&D clones either. There’s Traveller, RuneQuest, Tunnels & Trolls and other games that have been around 35 years or more. They are old school. Then there are games like Polyhedral Dungeon and Far Away Land, that aren’t cloning an old school game but have obvious old school roots.
So, there you have it.

  4. Wish I could, but I won't use afghan internet for anything purchase related. The towers are Iranian owned and data traces show that even https traffic is intercepted.

  6. Are you aware that the welcome emails and receipts come to your subscribers as from Mythoard? Signed up, got a "Welcome to Mythoard!" email...

    I understand it's the same parent company, but across 4 emails it said Mythoard everywhere, and not once did it mention Tenkar's Tavern Crate. Makes me feel like I just signed up for the wrong thing.
