Troll Lord Games

Dreamhost.com has done right by me for a good 5 years now.

<t>I'm partial to both C&C and Swords & Wizardry. So much so that I'm hacking together my own little hybrid for home use. Basically it's the core mechanics of C&C with the classes from S&W. The games play very nicely together. Both capture the "Less rules, more rulings" spirit discus...

<t>For rare/valuable it's probably my copy of Bunnies & Burrows, 2 ed. But it might be my OD&D OCE box.<br/> <br/> For beloved beyond all reason, primarily for nostalgia's sake, it's got to be my well-cared-for copies of the core TFT books: In The Labyrinth, Advanced Melee and Advanced Wizar...

If I have to pick just one, I'll ask you to flip a coin. Heads: Hobgoblins. Tails: Constructs. If it lands on the edge: Non-vampire, non-zombie undead.

<t>Well that's disappointing. I reckon I'll keep on the lookout for this at the wiki. Speaking of the wiki, where the hell is it, anyway?<br/> <br/> Bummer about the hack job that had to happen to your article, man.<br/> <br/> Do you know if the skills article will now be in #12? Or does it get shuf...

The Black Angels' Passover and Directions To See A Ghost and Wolfmother's album keep coming back to the front of my rotation.

<t>Hmm. This issue doesn't seem to have the Secondary Skills article that is listed on the product page. Was that a late drop in favor of the "Infernal Powers" piece? <br/> <br/> Actually, comparing the contents of the issue vs. the product page shows some other subbed content as well - The Alea Iac...

And, of course, I should have waited, too. My copy was sitting in the box when I got home this evening. Off to read it...

For what it's worth, I've not seen mine yet, either.

<t>Kidding aside (and despite the zing, let me reiterate that I do love the work that's gone into LL anf MF - it's just that outside of the special edition version their cover art takes the cheesy retro concept just a bit too far), I'm in the "like the current covers" camp.<br/> <br/> Still, I trust...

In a surprise move, TLG has decided to drop Peter Bradley from the payroll and use yours truly as the new cover artist. So, I give you, the new PH cover:

So C&C is going Labyrinth Lord & Mutant Future style now?

I kid because I love.

<t>(cross-posted from RPG.net)<br/> <br/> We played C&C on Saturday night. Here's the gist of things:<br/> <br/> Players:<br/> <br/> * Mari, My wife (who played as a kid and a few times since with me)<br/> <br/> * Parker, a long-time gamer who played in a few C&C games I ran a while back<br/...

Quote: Did anyone else feel this way before you got your books? Oh heck yeah. I was completely geeked out about the concept of C&C when I first heard about it. I nearly went nuts waiting for the fist printing of the PH to be released. I'd managed to get my hands on the boxed set but I needed mo...

I honestly do not recall who I, um, borrowed the following from. But you can be certain it was from here (well, the old boards) or from DF. And if the originator speaks up, I'll happily drink a pint in his or her name. Two, if necessary. I'd do three, but I'm at work... In any case, this is what I'm...

<t>Welcome to the Crusade, Korgoth!<br/> <br/> I think you'll find C&C meets all the requirements you list.

Goood to hear things are still going for you, and growing! I'll keep reading if you keep posting.

Seems like a fair trade to me, sir! Sold!

Excellent stuff indeed. I too was immediately take with the Briarlings. I know some adventurers who are likely to find themselves in the thicket of it soon enough.

Yes, it was a bad pun. Yes, I should be stopped.

But again, the monsters are quite well done, sir!

<t>Hey Kids. Some of y'all saw my original post over at DF detailing the lengthy first session of my first stab at running C&C. Well a second session happenend and a third (now with a second player!) is on for tomorrow night. So I've started a journal over in the proper forum and thought I'd men...

<t>It seems that one of Healfdane's old running buddies, Turold (who was always among the weakest/least rough & tumble of the wharf rats, due in part to being raised by/apprenticed to his apothecary uncle in the wake of his soldier father's death) had news of a recently unearthed tomb. Cyneglis,...

<t>Morning came and Healfdane and Turold set out for Armstead-On-Sea to restock and seek reinforcements. The journyx back to the city was uneventful - even the guards at the gate barely bothered to lift their heads from the dice game they were playing in the shade of the city walls. The duo made the...
