Troll Lord Games

man, I love the Silmarillon and Unfinished Tales. In fact, when the Silmarillon first came out ('77? '78? '79?) I read it so avidly that all my initial D&D characters were named after First Age elves (Finwe, etc).

I'll definitely be checking out the new 'tale'.

Thanks, Rdominick.

I'm sorta interested in Ptolus, but not for $120. Anyone found sites with significant reductions?

Looks good. I'll probably see it.

Well I'm not very computer savvy either, but I got lucky: I pasted the link into my browser, deleted the exclamation point (!) before the three 1s, and saw the pic.

Cute pup, DD!

<t>I stopped reading Jordan after 4 or 5 or 6 volumes (it was a while ago). Not only do I dislike starting a long series in the middle (before it's finished), but I found myself loathing many of the characters. This'll sound picky, but I felt that he couldn't write believable female characters (esp....

Yeah, I've already got a league going as well. But thanks for the invite Kyle. Fantasy Football is the best!

Argh! Curses! Not the Destroy Viridistan campaign!?!

[silence]

Okay, sign me up! When are you moving south?

Just getting a first post into this forum.

I've mostly been a GM recently, but I'd sure like to be a player in a JG campaign. Anyone in the Piedmont (NC) region tempted to start a campaign? Pretty please?

Geleg

hell, I'll even be happy with a Bronze Age! (very S&S, you know! )

Seriously, it's great to see all the enthusiasm for JG emerging here and elsewhere. I haven't been this excited about a product line in a long while.

<t>[kindergarten stories]<br/> <br/> That's a good one, Dangerdwarf!<br/> <br/> My five-year old is exhibiting all the clever circumlocutions of a good GM playing an oracle ....<br/> <br/> Dad: "How was your first day?"<br/> <br/> Katie: Great.<br/> <br/> Dad: "What did you do?"<br/> <br/> Katie: Pl...

<t>Geleg was my long-running Ars Magica mage, a character I played as someone who was more epicure than hero ... although he was invariably led (quaking) into doing (sometimes) heroic things he didn't want to do. Ultimately he sacrificed his life to save the covenant. (sounds hokey, but he was great...

I'll add a shake of my head to the general chagrin.

But, in a more positive vein, Awesome Avatar, Treebore!

<t>Guys,<br/> <br/> My name is Rick, and I'm 40. Started gaming in '78 and have always loved D&D, although I've played various other systems: Pendragon, a home-brew superheroes, CoC, Tekumel, Talislanta, a cyber game, and lots of Ars Magica. I tend to game intensely for a period of time until ci...

<t>I've read through most of the C&C modules but only played/prepped two: Beacon at Enon Tor and Halfling's Hall. Enon Tor, if simple, was great as an intro to the system. Halfling's Hall is also great - good NPCs, a nice solid environment, and plenty of room to expand the adventuring fun. I've ...

yeah, very nice work. This is the kind of thing to point newcomers too (or oldtimers if necessary)

<t>@Seskis281<br/> <br/> Yeah, I'm still over at ENworld naively trying to get people to look at the setting rather than the system. Now it's true that I'm a convert to the Crusade, but if I'd never heard of C&C I'd STILL buy the whole product line. I just don't get it. <br/> <br/> [But here's o...

<r>I'm eager to hear the Trolls' official take on this. Guess it'll have to wait til after GenCon *sigh*<br/> <br/> BTW, I mentioned the news over on ENworld. It's been getting some interest, although there's a bit of "Oh, it's not 3.5? Then I'm not interested" in the thread. (<URL url="http://www.e...

I'm more than interested - I'm ecstatic!

Although in all truth it is a very ambitious program - hopefully it will all get done.

still, even if two books (let alone 23) I'll be happy.

<t>My folks bought the game for me, thinking it was like an AH wargame. They didn't mind us playing it - 'good for the imagination' and all that. My mom finally expressed reservations when it became apparent that I was content to play D&D with the same 4 people to the exclusion of other forms of...

<t>I loved hobby stores in the mid '70s - for their Avalon Hill Wargames (Gettysburg, Alexander the Great, etc) and Tamiya tank models. My dad was also into both of these hobbies. One day in '78 or '79 my parents and my friend Chris and I went to Heritage Hobbies in Needham and there was this cool-l...

<t>I mostly lurk here and elsewhere (NC, DF) because I don't have a chance to play much these days - were I playing regularly I'd have more to say and more questions to ask. I do buy a lot of product and read it - and I lurk online - for vicarious gaming satisfaction in the absence of the real thing...

A very nice module. I'm impressed with the design - and with the artwork.

<t>Thanks guys. As I said, it was a real rush. I had a blast, even if we were all a bit rusty. Enon Tor is a nice intro, although I'm sorry we didn't get into Halfling's Hall (next up will be KOTB and then Listonshire, I think ... or maybe Assassin's Knot - my wife will not be a pure delver, I suspe...

<t>Thanks, Guys. I appreciate all the help. It was nice to find that all my ref skills (last employed in a fun Tekumel game in the mid 1990s ... hmmm, let's just say a while ago) hadn't disapppeared. Shortly I'll be able to coopt my daughter into playing (she's five) and then it'll be gaming heaven....

<t>So, after diligently buying and reading any number of gaming books for the last ** 8) years without ever being able to play, I finally got a chance to game for real this past weekend!<br/> <br/> My brother-in-law was in town (an old gamer) and we convinced my wife to roll C&C characters with ...

<r>I can attest to it, having started a Wilderlands game yesterday. Even the races are easily ported, thanks to the advice of members of this and other lists (<URL url="http://p105.ezboard.com/fnecromancergamesfrm40.showMessage?topicID=371.topic"><LINK_TEXT text="http://p105.ezboard.com/fnecromancer...

Looks really good - especially the interface. I also like that you have some adventures posted (I never tire of reading, and sometimes using other folks' adventures). I look forward to reading the adventures and to seeing your world evolve.

<t>A tough one, especially since I like 'em all for different reasons and for different character levels.<br/> <br/> I chose Kobold ('tho I almost clicked on Orc) because I like how Kobolds are often underestimated, and how - when used by a crafty DM - they can be a major pain in the players' a**es....

<t>ho boy, for a rationalist I can be pretty superstitious. <br/> <br/> I like to test out a variety of dice before the session to get a feel for which dice seem lucky on THAT evening. I know in advance (or think I do) that some are unlikely to be THE ONES, but I've gotta try 'em anyway. Once I've f...
