Troll Lord Games

EDIT: Drat I wrote this post before seeing the above. Nevertheless I'll toss a couple coins into the fountain ... There is no need to re-invent this wheel. Everything you need to make a Jedi is covered in the Amazing Adventures concept of the Mentalist. Even that sixth sense of danger is included. M...

Just a reminder. No game tonight. Next Friday I'd like to start a Stars Without Number game if anyone is interested. The PDF is free to download at http://www.rpgnow.com/product/86467/Stars-Without-Number-Free-Edition Feel free to keep the level 2 character you are currently playing and just update...

Just saw a giant squid video that reminded me of our sea journey

Let me just say that I have never met any of the trolls, but I find it impossible to believe they did anything other than create a fictional creature with an exotic name. I'm quite sure as saavy businessmen they realize the effects negative perception can have on their company and go to great lengt...

=) We pretty much rock.

"Regarding Henry"? "Lost"? "Alias"? I haven't seen Regarding Henry but I heard it was good. Didn't much like Lost or Alias . I once saw the most hilarious criticism of Battlestar Galactica that went something like "A fleet of red herrings flapping through space.&q...

I see I have graduated to the Hlobane Orc category. Huzzah and haha. I do have a soft spot for orcs and really am relieved I am no longer a lousy elf. Lok'tar, y'all. I had to look up the word Hlobane though. The Wikipedia description of the battle made an interesting read. But um. There is kind of ...

The creators of the film had clear goals that they've been happy to share. They wanted to ignite interest again in the franchise, give fans the pieces that were missing in the prequels and make the films look and feel more inclusive. On all these points they were successful. It was good fun to watch...

Well done!!!

oh no you didn't ....

Great write up of a great session! I'm game to either continue AA or if you wanted to try something else, that'd be OK as well. :) Thanks for saying so about the session. You guys are great players. I really am open to continuing, trying something new or passing along the slot to someone else. Afte...

It wouldn't really take any tinkering to play Star Wars with Amazing Adventures. Jedi abilities sound just like the ones described for Mentalists. The Force is a good way to describe their mysterious inner ability. Someone like Han Solo is a pretty much a Raider or Hooligan. General Leia Organa coul...

XP: 1169 Next game: January 8 if anyone is still interested. If we've had enough of the AA experiment no problem ... just let me know =) Misters Cranston and McKenna arrived on time for their appointment with Detective Murray where they were each offered $500 in exchange for signing non-disclosure a...

Game on tonight. Same bat time. Same bat place. Make sure you have your hall pass ....

Today we are doing a dish I would guess goes all the way back to whenever mankind started cooking their food in pots. Beef Stew. Of course I bet they didn't have the range of ingredients we put into ours. Plus fresh biscuits. Classic. I think the idea of beef stew has really changed over time. Besi...

I like making Blood Pie from the Star Trek cookbook. This is the dessert version, made with cranberries, cheeries and different types of juice. It's deep red, and best served hot and runny. It's quite tart. One of my favorite desserts, actually. Usually i make it for Halloween, and the name works w...

The seed cake looks tasty. Interesting comment though about caraways seeds tasting like a mild version of anise. I use them in my Irish soda bread and other recipes and I never got that flavor. I just chewed some to make sure I wasn't missing something. I see that wiki describes them as fruits rath...

Is Cheesy Potato and broccoli soup a common recipe? Thats what I am eating right now. heh. Forgive me if I say, "What's taters, precious?" knowing full well the answer. That sounds yummy. I was looking more for medieval recipes or items reminiscent of fantasy settings. My wife has such a ...

That seed cake looks good. Victorian recipes are neat, though I often find myself having to reduce the amount of sugar, because they all had a crazy sweet tooth. I'm a big fan of armored turnips (though I have to use fake cheese, alas): http://medievalcookery.com/recipes/turnips.html For those look...

Mmm. Fresh bread without preservatives is something special. I love the way the aroma fills the whole house. Bread bowls would work.

'tis the season and all that. This weekend I tried making a Hobbit Seed Cake based on an old Victorian recipe. It was fun thinking that Mr. Tolkien himself may have nibbled on something similar whilst sipping a cuppa. Details here: http://kitchenoverlord.com/2013/12/01/hobbit-week-shire-seed-cake/ O...

Tonight's adventure. 200 XP The heroes started out at Ladybird Lake, next to the melted Stevie Ray Vaughan statue. As they searched for clues about the original explosion they met up with another adventurer who introduced himself. They also spotted a very strange translucent Troll living under the b...

Game on tonight. 8:00 PM Central.

hahaha so true!!!! love it.

Wow. Any of those are tempting.

Rhuvein wrote:Great game, Penny!!

Ya see, it really was that cheap - but damn good cup of coffee that fired our neurons and ability to think, act and take out the walking statue of doom!

Ivan needs to bake some apple pies to go along with that damn good cup of coffee!

" In the “Dark Ages” (circa 480-800 or so) any knight could make another knight at will. Your rep as a knight depended on not only your ability but also the rank of the knight who made you. For example, a guy made a knight by the king will have more clout than a knight given his spurs by Sir No...

Thanks for the session! Here's the recap ... 1205 XP Lamont Cranston and Bert McKenna both happened to find themselves at the Neutral Grounds coffee shop. The local White Council Warden Erik Caldwell was also there giving every human who walked in a hard time. He behaved quite rudely when Mr. McKenn...

No problemo at all. I think the plots are flexible enough that people can come and go at their convenience. Hope all is well.

Yes! 8:00 central if you can make it =)
