Troll Lord Games

My new world is currently under some construction whilst I get a new group together, but I almost always homebrew everything. World-building is part of the fun of GM/DM/Keepering for me.

Good luck! May your tables be full and your reviews glowing.

<t>Issue #16 will forever stand out for me, for being the first time the Angry Gamer truly gave me some inspiration.<br/> <br/> Now I'm working on a sneaky-scoutish Ranger type, essentially a wilderness Rogue, that I've tentatively called the Poacher...<br/> <br/> EDIT: My spelling-fu is weak tonigh...

<t>Hello Jim,<br/> <br/> In a previous thread you asked for UK readers to keep their eyes peeled for UK release dates. Well, I've gone back in time a little and I've been able to put these together for you:<br/> <br/> UK Release Dates:<br/> <br/> Issue 17: w/c 18/05/09<br/> <br/> Issue 16: w/c 05/05...

<t>And I have to swing by the FLGS.<br/> <br/> Good news is, my ankle's a lot better today; I was able to drive to the doc so he could have a look at it (good news all rond), and this evening Jasper was finally able to have a proper walk, even if it was just up the street and back again.<br/> <br/> ...

It's things like that which prevent me from abandoning hope in Humanity. Glorious!

<t>Actually it was a little better yesterday afternoon; I'm getting about on it a little in the house, but the foot's still badly swollen. On the plus side, it's not constantly painful beyond a certain limit, and I can take several steps together rather than having to catch my breath between each on...

Oddly, quite a few. Even in the 2nd Edition years, the odd "assassin-in-all-but-name" would show up. What is it about my games that incites perfectly cuddly chaps and chapesses to play stone-cold killers?

Will I ever know?

Croakettes - pure distilled genius.

At last, it shall be mine. My pining is over. Now if I can just get my ankle back into shape so I can drive over to the FLGS come the weekend...

That poor little alien...*sniffle*

<t>Still haven't seen it, but I do believe it has one of my old SF bugbears involved that tends to be somewhat overused in Trek over the last decade or so.<br/> <br/> Won't spoil it for others, though.<br/> <br/> I think the Enterprise looks nice, but it also looks like something out of the late mov...

<t>Speaking in terms of pure aesthetics, I find myself agreeing somewhat with Xaltotun. The white title text is just a bit too "railway station". The new look books are something I will probably come to like over time, but I will miss the old parchment-look covers.<br/> <br/> However, the meaty prom...

The comments made my brain cry.

I also enjoyed DS9, at least in the earlier parts, until we had Yet Another Mighty Alien Menace from Beyond to prat about with. The last series practically had me throwing things at the screen.

The world keeps getting less and less fun. I've always enjoyed Dom;s performances. I think I'll stick Haunted Honeymoon on tonight.

<t>I tend to use by the book, but only award for treasure when getting hands on the treasure itself was an obstacle to overcome in some way.<br/> <br/> I also always liked the experience system used in the Alternity RPG, and have wondered in idle moments whether it would work OK in C&C. Just hav...

Still Crazy

Knightriders

And an Honourable Mention goes to:
Apollo 13

I could easily have stuck another dozen in there, but that'll do.

<t>My mum's family used to keep chickens and geese when she was a kid (see? Goat reference! - err, OK, I'll stop it), but the only baby beasties I've ever really looked after is kittens. However, our school used to have chickens, and we'd all have to help with them. The hens were very sweet-tempered...

Maybe it just means you don't have to wait before they put you on hold. Improving customer service step by step!

Or, err, something. Umm.

<t>Y'know, we have all sorts of handy bits of software to help us make wonderful maps, but there's something viscerally satisfying about the scritch of pencil on paper that I find hard to give up entirely.<br/> <br/> Or maybe I'm just a little strange. Either way, chalk me up as another map fan; I l...

Those are two lucky kids, all right.

Cool. Have a good 'un.

<t>Well today I treated meself to a bit of a fling and picked up some new C&C charsheets and the 3rd print PHB.<br/> <br/> So I'll be reading that tonight.<br/> <br/> Yes, I know, there's a 4th on the way but I really like the older covers much better.

<t>Heheh; see? Told you it'd happen. Still pining for #16 here in the Benighted Isles. Esdevium Games, the TL distributor for the UK, seems to be failing to, well, distribute.<br/> <br/> At this rate my envy of you all will metamorphose into an Id-beast of towering destruction, unless I drown it in ...
