POPULARITY
Content Warnings: police violence, racism, swearing, death of animals. Get stoked, because this is an extra special Main Feed release of the hottest interview of the year. Nur-D is an extraordinary musician and game lover based out of Minnesota, and we are mega fans (Torsten is legit starstruck for most of this episode). If you don't know his music, do yourself a favor and go listen to some now. Like, before you even hit play on this episode, go stream “20 Cha” or “TPK” or “Glorious” or really any of his songs! Nur-D is also a phenomenal person, full of insights about dnd and humanity. We hope you have as much fun with this conversation as we did. Enjoy!

This week we have a special, Main Feed release of our interview with the Best DM in Podcasting, Eric Silver! Eric has some amazing perspectives from his years of experience in the podcast and TTRPG communities, and brings some Crit to our attention that we definitely were not aware of. The article he wrote that comes up in the show can be found here: https://www.heyalma.com/dungeons-dragons-has-an-antisemitism-problem/ If you're glad Eric came on our podcast, let him know! You can find him and his shows all over social media: @el_silvero @jointhepartypod @gamesnfeelings @tmaipod @multitudeshows A longer version of this episode was posted on our Patreon two weeks ago.

In this episode we have Erik Tenkar and Bad Mike Badolato -the dynamic duo themselves- straight from the "Talking Crit" livestream among their other OSR contributions such as the Tavern blog, The North Texas RPG Con, RPG auctions, Swords and Wizardry Light, and many others. We get to talk with them all about these endeavors as well as the classic B1: In Search of the Unknown, which is getting a non-canon sequel for NTX this coming year! These guys are a lot of fun, so sit back and enjoy some banter.
TSR3 has surrendered or abandoned nearly every trademark it has named in its legal action against WotC. In 2 weeks, if TSR3 takes no further action, the Star Frontiers TM will be abandoned. So, why the legal action filed against WotC? https://www.trademarkelite.com/trademark/trademark-detail/90276506/STAR-FRONTIERS https://www.trademarkelite.com/trademark/trademark-detail/90893809/STAR-FRONTIERS https://www.trademarkelite.com/trademark/trademark-detail/90148334/mark https://www.trademarkelite.com/trademark/trademark-detail/90148524/TSR https://www.trademarkelite.com/trademark/trademark-detail/90124839/TSR-THE-GAME-WIZARDS https://www.trademarkelite.com/trademark/trademark-detail/90276510/BLACKMOOR https://www.trademarkelite.com/trademark/trademark-detail/90124287/TSR https://www.trademarkelite.com/trademark/trademark-detail/90884176/TSR https://www.trademarkelite.com/trademark/trademark-detail/90124788/mark --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tavernchat/support
