Troll Lord Games

<t>Thanks. I'm actually behind my earlier schedule and will probably defend at the end of October. That'll put my final defense back to February, probably.<br/> <br/> Regarding C&C, the kids have not shown much interest recently. Part of that is probably because I've not been too excited about i...

Actually, beating the crap out of other people with wooden swords is lots of fun. Getting hit isn't quite as cool so you gotta' figure out how to stop that from happening....

yep

<t>No, 'fraid not. The kids have been busy with other stuff recently (school related stuf and then sports) and I've been slaving away on my dissertation. I'm trying to defend the proposal in September and sit for the final defense in December or January.<br/> <br/> We were talking just a few days ag...

That's some good stuff.

Got my package today! I hope to have time to dig into it tomorrow. I've only given it a quick glance, but it looks good so far!

Yea, I spent over a year watching ebay auctions. I finally got one in very good condition for $20 plus shipping and was thrilled to get it at that price.

So just keep plugging away and get it done when you can.

I agree. I've got loads of old stuff to paw through from time to time for ideas. I'd much rather have good stuff slow than average stuff quick.

<t>Today we are going to spend the day at my brother Craig's house. He has a daughter (Kate - 7 years old). Craig emailed me yesterday and told me that Kate asked if Uncle Brad could bring "that adventure game" her cousins were talking about. So this afternoon Kate and Craig will roll up characters ...

I'll tell them some guy named Buttmonkey says they have to play some more 'cause he wants to know what is going on in the campaign. Seriously, we played last night for a bit. I'll have an update shortly.

Woo Hoo! Super James!

Tropico, thanks for that description. That sounds like a good way to handle the issue. I give that post a GETS - Good Enough To Steal.

<t>Camazotz, thanks for sharing that. <br/> I never used gnomes in any of my campaigns. Never had a player want to play one. Never could figure out a good way to make them "fit" in my campaign world.<br/> <br/> Your short description has given inspiration to me for some ideas for the little buggers....

<t>Interesting ideas. From my perspective, I always thought characters did get better at defending themselves as they went up in level - that's why they have more hit points. As I see it, a 1st level fighter with 7 or 8 hit points can get killed by one good hit from a long sword. A fifth level fight...

James, this sounds great. Thanks for the update. I understand the challenges you have faced getting this project out of the starting gate. I know in the end it will all be worth it. I'm looking forward to January!

thanks again

Woo Hoo!

Damn nice. I've been wanting a cheap one for years!

I know what you mean. I have had a search set up to catch all the Rules Cyclopedias on eBay for over two years now. I must have bid on and lost fourty of the things - mainly because I am so cheap.

<t>Just gotta' share. I just picked up a hard cover Rules Cyclopedia in very good condition off eBay for $20 - that includes the shipping charge. I also just got 17 old Dragon magazine issues (pre-3.x edition) for a buck each. Yep, that includes shipping too.<br/> <br/> I rarely find steals on eBay,...

File is on the way.

If anyone else is interested, just drop me a PM with your email address.

Cool. If you want the Word document I made that has the coin tokens, I'd be glad to send it your way. Might save you some time. Let me know...

Dude, if you get that figured out, let me know. I wish my wife would play with me and the kids. I think she'd really enjoy it. So far no luck even getting her to try it.
