OSR Christmas - Day 1 - And So It Was That Six Volumes of Arduin Appeared

Yep, it's time to kick off OSR Christmas. Its become an annual tradition here at The Tavern, and although the gifts might change on a yearly basis, the joy of being part of this amazing community simply gets greater each year for me.

For Day One of OSR Christmas, I thought it should be something special. Emperors Choice Games and Miniatures is giving away Volumes IV through IX of Arduin (six books!), in print, to one lucky gift receiver (US ONLY for this package) that comments on this post before 9 PM EST, Monday. 12/06/2021. Let us know what country you are commenting from. Seriously, that is all you have to do to potentially be gifted. Not to leave our non-US readers out of the celebrations, but The Tavern will be gifting TWO $10 DTRPG Gift Certificates to two non-US commenters (US Not eligible). I will also randomly pick one worldwide commenter to receive a gift of an OSR patch (or two) and a sticker

On Monday evening I will randomly pick a US commenter and the fine folks at Emperors Choice will handle the gifting. I will also pick two non-US commenters and I handle that part of the gifting and pick one worldwide commenter and forward their info on.

Not only do we have more gifts coming up for all 12 days (including a copy of Torchlight #1 in Print from The Tavern, patches, books, and more) but Emperors Choice will be gifting 11 more packages of Arduin IV -IX, one for each day of OSR Christmas. Then there will be a special gift package for OSR Christmas Day 13. Yep, more on that later ;)

For those that want to add gifts to OSR Santa's Bag, you can email me at tenkarsDOTtavern at that Gmail thing. It should take just over a month for OSR Christmas to run its course, with the 13th day being somewhere around Three Kings Day if we are lucky.

The next day of OSR Christmas will be December 6th. Check back to see if you are receiving a gift. Oh, and comment again to get a new chance to be gifted!

    The DM of my first 1st/2nd Edition group used a lot of Arduin Grimoire in his campaign, and it would be great “peek under the hood” and see how it all ticked!
