Troll Lord Games

<t>Session Saturday. Party includes an NPC who has read the Black Librum. Long story which will be in the forums someday. Pushing the Paypal button puts nothing in my cart. MUST HAVE NOW!!!! Maybe if I bash my head on the computer that will fix it. bash. Bash. BASH! Oww...<br/> <br/> Hope it gets fi...

Had to rebuild my account, but I made the last post. Potential players contact me or greenbadge for more information.

<t>Events, Sessions, Level Advancement, Comment<br/> <br/> Meet up, 1, +0, Home brew stolen from the Usual Suspects. Worked great and gave party a good reason to work together.<br/> <br/> Halfling Hall, 2, +0.4, Excellent beginning adventure.<br/> <br/> Blacktooth Ridge, 4, +0.8, Excellent adventure...

<t>I truncate the Palace of Shadows to get the story back on track. They wisely elect not to fight it out with Zagyg and we have a lively interaction as the party tries to figure out what is going on. They don't get much, but<br/> <br/> we havea good time.<br/> <br/> They meet the Duke and focus on ...

<t>Crawling through the dungeon in our first session in three months. Session is also short due to real world considerations. By the end of this one I want the Palace of Shadows to end as I have gotten sick of its repetitive nature and want to move towards the end of the story.<br/> <br/> As I prepa...

They fight and defeat<br/> <br/> the Flesh Crawler, the Mant...

<t>The Palace of Shadows which is a pure dungeon crawl. Definitely old school<br/> <br/> with stacks of random monstors all held together by a contrived quest.<br/> <br/> The module gets the job done, but is a cut below the Troll Lord stuff and<br/> <br/> the Dungeon Crawl Classics. A special disapp...

They drink the p...

<t>greenbadge and I are starting<br/> <br/> a campaign in the Detroit area. I will be Keeper, and you can get an<br/> <br/> idea of how I do things from this thread <br/> <br/> over in The Crusades forum. We are planning on meeting twice a month and<br/> <br/> starting in the next few weeks. Contact...

<t>Sorry for not posting anything last week. Very busy in real world.<br/> <br/> This session went very wrong. The players declined to take the bait<br/> <br/> and enter the tunnels. They then cleverly get out of the University and<br/> <br/> call for back up. They were distressed that they did not ...

As they do so a group of ...

<t>Unhallowed Halls requires a great deal of effort to make work. Many, many<br/> <br/> NPC's to keep track of; more than appeared in my diary. We do<br/> <br/> have good fun with lots of role playing at the Charity Ball. Either the<br/> <br/> mystery is too obvious or my players are too good. They ...

Rivery looks ill and lapses into<br/> <br/> unconscousness. They go to the Temple of Athena an...

<t>Defintely a return to the days of our youth as we spend an entire weekend doing a role playing intensive meeting with the movers and shakers in Caron and then the Dungeon Crawl Classics Revenge of the Rat King.<br/> <br/> Very enjoyable time with this excellent module.<br/> <br/> I begin to reali...

<t>The Castle Keeper puts the party between a rock (the Skaven) and a hard<br/> <br/> place (the Guardians). They were geniuinely terrified by the Skaven<br/> <br/> attack in Yggsburgh and distressed that the authorities were on to them.<br/> <br/> Setting up for Uhallowed Halls.<br/> <br/> Castle Z...

Quite a fight with the part...

Good session as the party explores Yggsburg and does one of the

side adventures of Castle Zagyg Environs. Great book.

Excellent for pacing as the players relax after the shock in the last session. Little do they know what is about to happen.

<t>This session was a great deal of fun for the Castle Keeper. <br/> <br/> The players were terribly<br/> <br/> frightened by the Skaven who I have stolen from Warhammer. I did<br/> <br/> buy Warrens of the Ratmen from Sword and Sorcery, but it was not very useful and I basically made everything up ...

Rivery is fixated on recove...

<t>We finish off Dark Chateau. Very good module, but I did seem to spend a lot of time flipping pages. One step below Shadows and Blacktooth Ridge and as good as DCC Ripper. Four modules that are very good or excellent and nothing worse than that is making for a very enjoyable campaign.<br/> <br/> T...

<t>Short session due to real world interference. We are enjoying Dark Chateau.<br/> <br/> What I thought I wrote is that in about a week I will be reporting on a session we have on Sunday. This session thirteen took place in August of 2006 and I still have a bunch of 2006 sessions to get through. Un...

Also they are being<br/> <br/> set up for Unhallowed Halls and a trip to Yggsburg.<br/> <br/> Yes, Shackled City is the Adventure Path originally published in Dungeon and compiled into a book from Pazio.

<t>First session after a bit of a break due to summer travel and vacations. Another good session. I had great trouble managing the confused melee between the party and ghast, ghouls, and skeletons. At one point I had to backtrack which got Aislyn's player very mad at me. This worked out as she was s...
