Troll Lord Games

<t>A subset of A1 would work. The lair at the top of the ridge would be about right, maybe just a touch too short.

Looks really good, Serl.

If you can sneak something more into the Lore section about the guild markings, that might be cool.

"The prominent guild mark on the armor will certainly draw the attention of that guild and also rival guilds."

Something like that.

<t>I love modules - I love reading them, and I love running them.<br/> <br/> Some are frustrating, because they're just not very well thought out, and require a lot of re-jiggering and filling in of blanks.

Just out of curiosity - what do you want to see next from the Trolls?

For me - it's more tiny boxed sets, like Towers of Adventure, that can drop into pretty much any campaign, and anywhere.

How about the rest of you?

Great find!

Which shop was it?

<t>I would put Fritz Lieber higher on that list than Tolkien. Also the Conan stories, some Burroughs, and my current favourite - Andre Norton's Witch World series.<br/> <br/> Personally, I found Tolkien's Ring Trilogy to be ponderously slow and dull. I would hate for anyone to get the impression tha...

If you're hosting in a hotel, and the hotel has a bar, then it's already taken care of, isn't it?

If someone wants a drink, they'll go hang out in the bar and drink.

Rats, I just emailed an order, and then read this.

Is someone else answering the "orders" email address while Steve's away?

Quite right - my mistake. I had the LGGC #1 stuck in my head - July 29-31, 2005. It wasn't until later (#2 or #3) that the con got moved up to June.

Yeah, I spent a winter in Sudbury one year. Not somewhere I would chose to live, I think.

<t>Wisconsin in March? No thanks. I live in Canada, so I know a thing or two about winter.<br/> <br/> Much as I lament the loss of Gary, and understand why you'd like to keep the con as a memorial, I just can't see it being a pleasant trip at that time of year. <br/> <br/> Besides, do you really wan...

Rats!

LGGC was an annual highlight for me. I made a lot of great friends and a lot of great memories there.

I'm very sad to see this fade away.

You Trolls deserve a "well done" for your efforts on this con in the past.

Are we sure this isn't a simple misunderstanding?

When we say "yeah, we closed the bar" up here in the Great White North, what we mean is "we were at the bar until it closed, and then they kicked us out, eh?"

Personally, I'd prefer to see Crusader become 100% Lejendary Adventure, but that seems rather unlikely. I suppose we can tolerate some C&C content now and again, if we must...
I would NOT like to see any Hasbro stuff (3E, 4E, Magic, whatever). Other smaller publishers, sure.

Wow, that's a great cover on issue #8 - really, REALLY well done.

Nice work Jason.

ps - I also enjoy the "trials and tribulations of the industry" articles, like Joe Goodman's in issue #7.

"How things came to be in the ancient past of gaming" is always an interesting read as well.
