Troll Lord Games

For me too

This new forum is annoyingly slow.

Here are four that I fondly remember:

The Rockford Files
The Streets of San Francisco
Kojak
Hawaii 5-0

Do we?

But you're right in that the gazetteer maps look more like geographical (and not even good ones at that) than game maps. Personally, I prefer good maps above geography.

Great setting. I'm running a campaign in it since two years, centered on Castle Whiterock in the Kingdom of Morrain, and we all have a lot of fun with this game world. The only BIG drawback for me are the crappy, too large, and often barely readable maps. These I really despise, but the rest is firs...

Expeditious Retreat Press is my favorite publisher for retro modules. So far, each and every one of them looks and feels very much 1st edition to me. More than most of the DDCs to be honest. Although there are a few gems among these (Castle Whiterock, The Gazetteer, and every module written by Harle...

MC5 - The Big Bang

Proto-punk from the late 60s. Great stuff!

<t>Did that only once. It was a character from an ancient campaign that we played back in 1983 or something, and when this new campaign started sometime in the 90s I pulled out that old character sheet and asked the DM whether I could play him once again. It was a half-elven fighter/cleric who never...

Serl, there's actually a whole adventure based around this, written by Bruce Cordell. It was a freebie on the web, but I don't know if it's still out there. I do, however, have it on my PC. In case you or anyone else is interested, I can upload it for you.

Now that's cool.

Love it! Have seen it first back in 1980, and another time in the mid 90s, IIRC. Thanks for the reminder, it's time to watch it again.

Lovely.
When will she roll up a character?

These books will be available as print on demand at some point.

I'll wait for that as I dislike pdfs as well. Great news still, and I hope that I won't have to wait too long for the print version.

<t>Same thing here. I even let 1st level players encounter dragons and giants when they travel through the wilderness although I always give them the chance to avoid confrontation when they move around cautiously - either the monsters don't notice them, are far away or probably not in the mood for a...

Way cool!

Expedition the the Demonweb Pits. Although I don't particularly like the whole plot idea, this module has some very nice ideas and elements. If I play it someday, I think I'll rewrite at least parts of the main plot to make it better suited to my campaign world.

Only DCCs so far. But who knows what the future might bring?

I like magic items that come along with a full history, especially when they're items of an unusual kind. Not every +1 sword needs one, but those that are rare or even unique should always have one.

<t>For some scenarios, yes. But in general, I was surprised to see that many adventures were challenging even for high-level characters. I'm only speaking of the combat-oriented panes, of course, of which there are quite a few, but which are nevertheless in the minority. Most panes are either a good...

<t>I'm running a 1E HomP campaign with a group of high-level characters (levels 12-15). The party has entered 50% of all panes so far. I've replaced a few scenarios that I didn't like with other short adventures that fitted in, which was no problem of course. We only recently played that mobius stri...

Tom was one hell of a designer.

I'm currently running Castle Amber with my Greyhawk campaign, and can nothing but agree.

Wow - I'm impressed.

We'll go to our friends' place like we do every year. A few other couples with their kids will also be there. We'll sit around the fireplace, drink a lot, enjoy good food, play board- and cardgames and do some fireworks at midnight. It's always nice.

Very cool pic, Andy, especially that smile on her face...
Love that movie - it has always been one of my favorite fantasy flicks.

I agree about CC3, but unless you want to spend many frustrating hours trying to figure out how it works, you should better know someone to show you. The learning curve is steep indeed, but once you have mastered it, you have a program that offers you all.

The original manuscript of Rob Kuntz's Garden Of The Plantmaster adventure.

A bunch of unpublished typed manuscripts from Len Lakofka about Lendore Isle.

My completely ragged copy of Thieves Of Fortress Badabaskor that I bought in San Diego 28 years ago.

Thanks mate. I agree about the adventure - it's great.

<r>Sure - I did the maps for it. <br/> Here's the link:<br/> <URL url="http://www.dragonsfoot.org/php4/archive.php?sectioninit=CC&fileid=194"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.dragonsfoot.org/php4/archive ... fileid=194">http://www.dragonsfoot.org/php4/archive.php?sectioninit=CC&fileid=194</LINK_T...
