Troll Lord Games

<t>It certainly was for the Brits; we haven't done this well in a century.<br/> <br/> I have to say, the horse event in the modern Pentathlon was the best event of the entire games. It was hilarious!<br/> _________________<br/> History teaches us that men behave wisely once they've exhausted all oth...

<t>And that's it until the paralympics. The daughter of a friend at work is competing in the tennis, so I'll be looking out for Jordanne.<br/> <br/> Now, there's a thing. If I were running the 2012, which I'm not, I'd push hard for an end to the differentiation, and run the events together. No more ...

That's fantastic, Rigon. The kids at that school are very lucky to get someone who sees education as a vocation.

<t>Phoenix has done incredibly well; the NASA boys and girls should feel rightly proud.<br/> <br/> Still, I think I'd prefer to see manned exploration of the Moon first. There are a number of advantages. For a start, a robust space-access system would enable rescue if a lunar base or expedition got ...

<t>So do I, and as others have pointed out, the extra costs can be avoided if they're just a printed paper sheet of line drawings that people can photocopy/scan as needed and colour themselves.<br/> <br/> In fact, it would make them even more versatile.

<t>I picked up both Beowulf and Elizabeth, the Golden Age last weekend. I watched the latter first.<br/> <br/> ye gods! Will nothing ever again approach the quality of Elizabeth R? And that had a bit of fictionalisation, but this effort was, on the whole, drek. It's not the fault of the actors, eith...

<t>Hmm, well, if you have gunpowder in your world, then they could be used as bombers. Even if you only have Greek fire, dropping kegs of the stuff overboard will play merry hell with a big set-piece land battle, as would more mundane payloads such as stones or darts (which is how bombers got starte...

And the added bonus would be to increase shading over the planet and hold the temperatures down. An extreme solution, but the there's something appealing...

Love it.

<t>Well, since we bought the dog (and not counting the whiplash which has kept me from sleeping properly EVERY FLAMIN' NIGHT SINCE THE 1st OF RUDDY MARCH!), the increased exercise and the sheer fun of having the great hairy beast around means I'm feeling about ten times as sprightly as I did last ye...

Hope you got a decent night's sleep in.

<t>Well, I got the book about a fortnight ago now, and it is a very nice little book indeed. Absolutely chock-full of little hints and tips that even after all these years I still hadn't thought of.<br/> <br/> For me? A veritable little treasure. For a new CK? It's got to be El Dorado itself!<br/> <...

<t>As mentioned, if you can get hold of a 1st Ed DMG, it's a great resource for adventure design. I also get ideas from archaeology texts and histories.

Good to see a little (even if only the tiniest bit) of the pressure is letting up!

Well, I reckon your English is excellent for any style of writing. Mind you, I'm British and we're crap at learning other languages.
