Troll Lord Games

<t>Like Inkpot, I'm strictly a PC gamer (although I am sorely tempted to get a PS2). I am currently playing (still) Civ4. Can't get enough of this game. It eases my craving for control!<br/> <br/> But ... a bit of a rant. I want to play Oblivion and NW2 so badly I can taste them (I even bought Obliv...

Wow, thanks James! This is one tasty teaser ... and another sign of why I love the wilderlands (as Omote said).

keep writing!

pretty impressive. How 'bout that kick-returner, Devin Hestin is it? Not too shabby!
G

<t>Yup, region is pretty important - especially in those formative 8-12 year-old years. You know - collecting baseball cards, living and dying on the team like only a kid can. Experiencing the thrills of the '75 world series and the bitter disappointment of the Bucky Dent game. yup. Those experience...

Well, you can't always pick your loyalties - having grown up in the Boston suburbs, I'll be a Bosox (and AL East) follower for life. Don't know whether to put a or a to punctuate this comment.

G

<t>[on Red Sox] LOL! I heartily agree. Barring the 2004 aberration, the Bosox have a long history of 1) spending money in strange spurts to keep up with the yankees 2) going for aging sluggers over good pitching. Remember that they could have kept Pedro Martinez a few years ago for a lot less than a...

online since our local gamestore closed up shop. even before then I'd say I bought 60-75% online.

I could drive 50-70 miles to a gameshop but rarely do.

G

<t>I'm a die-hard Red Sox fan, so naturally they are catching my interest; if that weren't enough, they are also knee-deep in all sorts of interesting (at best) or questionable (at worst) deals. $51.1 million just to negotiate with Matzusake? I can't believe it. And still no word about what his cont...

<t>It's a fun game to try to figure out the calculus between revenues and/or profitability on the one hand, and intangible benefits on the other. [which is why I'm happy to be a historian and not a marketing or business major]. Undoubtedly for a business the bottom line (i.e. profitability) must dri...

<t>Tell us what you really think, Rabindranath! <br/> While I will buy WOTC's Greyhawk set, I approach it with a lot more trepidation than TLG's version. With TLG, my only worry is that fate will intervene to prevent publication; with WOTC, I worry that it will suck (and having read Rabindranath's c...

<t>Rex's numbers were pretty gruesome - something like 3 for 19, for 34 yards passing with two picks (from highlights one didn't look like his fault, but still). I have to agree with Rhu here that Rex would have me worried if I were a Bears fan. It's true all he has to do is manage the offense, but ...

Sweet! (on several fronts) - the art is verrry sweet, and the news of your mods impending publication is also very sweet

Good news on this! (I'm a few days late, though). I look forward to getting a screen I can use that isn't home made.

G

<t>When I ran it for a small party, they didn't have a wizard, and the thief couldn't read magic to cast the dispel magic scroll. so they gave K some food and gently, but forcibly escorted him back to their base (the halfing village in Sieg's great SotHH). They're going to have to get NPC help to re...

nic pic. your artists have talent!

I like "Hungry Hollow" - but 'the Vile Vale' also suits.

Geleg

Wow, you're a mad, adventure-writing machine ... and I keep eating it up. Thanks again for the fun adventure. I enjoyed reading it and hope to run it someday.

G

It does seem like a pretty good deal ...

G

<t>Like Philotomy I ordered the joke Castle Greyhawk without knowing about the joke and was bitterly disappointed. Mind you, I confess that I found the jokes somewhat amusing (though silly), and that I enjoyed reading it to an extent - but I was annoyed because of what it was not and because of what...

<t>I can't figure the steelers out - what happened? they were truly formidable last year. Did the O-line change a lot in the offseason? It seems to me that they are just lacking in intensity - perhaps the afterglow of the superbowl?<br/> <br/> strange stuff.<br/> <br/> I'm watching the Colts spank t...

<t>Gotta chime in, respectfully though. I too am a die-hard Pats (and Bruins and Red Sox) fan. It was nice to see some payback today for 1985 (sorry, Rhuvein!), which I endured in college with a bitter heart since one of my roomies was a Bears fan. Despite the Pats' big day, the bears look very inti...

<t>Treebore,<br/> <br/> Sorry no one responded to this. It's probably past the sale date. <br/> <br/> I REALLY liked Arcanis when I bought it (2002? 2003?). It was one of the first worlds for D20 that I bought, and I was really impressed with the "fading Roman Empire" feel of it all. There's what cl...

<t>well I guess I like DCC on principle, even if there are some iterations of the line that I'd never play. What I like about the whole series is that all of them evoke a certain old-style crawling. If you want that, they've got it in forty-some variations. But, as I said, I'm not always a fan of a ...

<t>Apparently Robert S Conley is doing (has done? - it's coming out in January, after all) Thieves of Fortress Badabaskor. His JG fan stuff is amazing (as seen on the NG site), so I have confidence that he'll keep to the spirit of the Wilderlands.<br/> <br/> But you're right, Omote. One does have a ...

<r>Have you guys seen the announcement from Goodman that they will be publishing at least three of the classic JG modules? Fortress Badabaskor is due in January 2007; Citadel of Fire and Dark Tower and due in Q2 and Q3 of 2007. They'll be for 3.5, sadly, but I'll still be all over them.<br/> <br/> h...

<t>on beowulf,<br/> <br/> I hear you about Christopher Lambert's movie. It wasn't terrible, just not particularly good. I thought of it as a sci-fi movie inspired by Beowulf (which is probably what he/they intended). I didn't feel I had wasted my rental money, although conversely I did come away hop...

Great thread, guys. I've come away with some very helpful ideas.

G

<r>Rhuvein - I couldn't agree more. I hate the new crop of announcers in any sport. Ah, for the old days, when silence was okay and they merely commented (intelligently) about baseball (or hockey, or whatever).<br/> <br/> Omote: any version of Beowulf will attract my interest ('though I didn't much ...

<t>In fact, the trailer for Eragon was aired during the World Series last night. And the announcers sounded confused plugging it! Not sure that Joe Buck and co. are fantasy fans.<br/> <br/> Talking about Beowulf, I recently watched the 2005 "Beowulf and Grendel" filmed in Iceland. Not bad, not bad a...

<t>I voted for "goes in the CKG" mostly because I'm lazy. I don't tend to buy small pdfs (even though they don't cost much) because I have limited time and energy to seek them out. I have bought a few pdfs, but mostly of adventures that I used to have or wanted back in the day and couldn't get (JG s...

<t>I just don't know why you'd want to play someone like that. I certainly understand the pride of having a high level character a) live to high level and b) influence the world around him/her, but ..... the adventuring would be pretty damned boring after (IMO) 12th-15th level. If a character of min...
