Troll Lord Games

Hey. Sorry to pester you when you have other things on your mind...like hurricanes! I'll wait until things get back to normal for you guys. Hope no serious damage has been done!

Hi. I'm actually in the UK so I'd rather not...at least not unless there is no other option and I get a cheap international phone card.

I'm trying to send an email chasing a couple of orders but I keep getting a message stating that: User mailbox exceeds allowed size: troll@trolllord.com.

I can't see any other email addresses to send it to. Help!

Cheers

<t>Conan the main guy is not, I'm afraid...far too conccerned with the welfare of others and no killer instinct. So although the movie has RE Howard elements the characters don't...and it would have been so much better if they did. I wouldn't recommend buying it before you see it...although I enjoye...

<t>Ok...just seen it. It was alright....not brilliant...but certainly entertaining in a Sat afternoon sort of way. <br/> <br/> Definitely pulp...a touch of RE Howard in there with its suggestions of lost Atlantis and ancient but decaying and decadent civilizations contrasted with the simplicity of t...

Hollow Earth Expedition...the best pulp setting around....shooting n*z*s has never been so much fun! Plus amazing artwork and a gm screen that is not only a work of art but is bullet-proof at the same time!!

<t>I haven't seen it yet but I get the impression that whether you like it has a lot to do with expectation....those who approach it as a pulp film or Edgar Rice Burroughs sort of story seem to like it but those who expect it to have any historical truth to it...well, forget it. Despite being a hist...

So now I've got my grubby mits on the AGJ#1 pdf...how about a pdf subscription?

Now I've had a chance to look through in more detail....wow! What a fantastic magazine! The quality in both content and layout is outstanding! Can't wait for more!

Great stuff! Cheers.

I think the appeal to many of AD&D is based around where its rules are focused (and where they are not). Agreed. Which is why my re-discovery of Basic/Expert/...

<t>Logic doesn't always play a part in an individuals reason for buying something. Personal taste, nostalgia, desire for simplicity, adding to a collection, great cover, nice layout, whim...all play a part to varying degrees. Luckily there is enough room in in the world of RPGs for lots of variety a...

<t>I guess back in the 80s and 90s it was impossible for creative fans to self produce quality stuff...the adventure or setting or ruleset they wrote might be brilliant but if it's written on notepaper or at best typed up...well, they needed a publisher or RPG company to accept and print it...and I'...

Wow. Just seen this. Great stuff! Can't wait to see the finished product.

<t>I must say I started this thread in all innocence having no knowledge of the history involved and assuming that fans of C&C would likely be fans of other (again I'm almost scared to say it now) old school style games and vice versa. Well...my eyes have well and truly been opened....and I wish...

<t>I really am sorry I asked. It is such a shame that people who should be sharing their passion and using their energies to promote this style of gaming instead get all territorial and partisan....caught up in petty squabbles rather than striving for the ideal or the 'greater good'.<br/> <br/> Fort...

<t>Wow. I'm sorry I asked...I was kind of expecting a different response...more all in it together. I'm sure glad I wasn't around around to see the blood and guts that seem to have been strewn over a less than glorious battlefield...and I hope that the hordes of newcomers and long lost exiles to old...

One word. Piracy.

Fair point but then on the other hand potential buyers (esp outside the US) are being lost...isn't it better to suffer the odd unscrupulous bast*** and spread the word?

<t>Basic D&D or one of the updated versions like Labyrinth Lord or BFRpg...simple rules leaving lots of room for creativity on the part of both player and GM. Worked for me as a kid way back when and it's how I plan to introduce my son to this wonderful world. I think it's also a wonderful intro...

<t>Just wondered what peoples thoughts were on some of the retro-clone games coming out. I, for one, am a newly converted fan of Labyrinth Lord...a tidying up of Basic/Expert D&D. I'd forgotten how much fun it is and with the excellent layout and very cool (alternative) cover art...well, I'd rec...

<t>Those Klingon cloaking devices are good but kinda creepy...<br/> Thanks for the swift responses. I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to sell them as pdfs...of course, I would rather have the print version but you can't get it locally in the UK (unlike Crusader magazine which I buy from Leisure Gam...

Hi. Not sure if this has been asked before but are there any plans to release AGJ as a pdf? This would be esp good for us European fans... I'd happily pay up to the print price to avoid the $8 shipping fee.

<t>The world is divided into geeks and non-geeks but there are many more geeks than non-geeks. <br/> <br/> Geeks are people who are really passionate about something...anything...whether it is RPGs, trainspotting, birdwatching, football, cars, marine biology, trees, cooking...the list is as long as ...

No to all of the above. Overkill the same as Wizards. I could be interested in an 'Unearthed Arcana' type book (or PHB2/DMG2 type book) of optional variant/additional rules otherwise I'm only really looking for Campaign Setting (Aihrde/Zagyg) books and adventures.
