Troll Lord Games

<t>Well when you've done the year-and-a-day part (nothing wrong with that, no different than an engagement) go for the legal part. Any religious ceremony can be recognized by the state so it's not like you'd be having a "Soviet State Wedding"... comrade. The only reason that the state is even involv...

Maybe. I've got one more full semester left of school and then I might give it a shot. Any free time that I have right now gets eaten up with C&C and Dungeons and Dragons Online. Well, once a month for the former and once a week for the latter anyway.

Hmmmm. That does sound pretty cool. I'm still a stickler for percentile rolls though.

That would be good. The narrative is well-written though. 8)

<t>The storytelling style is good, but a basic outline of the rules as...well...rules would be good too. With a "cold" layout of the rules, the story would be more enjoyable. It's kind of like listening to a baseball game on the radio without knowing the rules well. Maybe a quick rundown of the rule...

What's a tentpole movie?

I always though that it was one of those movies that comes on late at night on Cinemax.

<t>I spent my 7th grade to high school years in a small town with few rpg'ers. We had some four-or-more games, but a majority of my playing time (well...GM time really ) was in one-on-one games. It was about half-and-half DC Heroes and 2nd edition AD&D. It was A LOT of fun. The player can get sp...

<t>Many thanks Cheeplives. I've checked out the Wiki a good bit, but I haven't actually gotten any "hands on" time with the rule book and Character Burner themselves. The system does seem crunchy (especially in regards to the whole "duel of wits" area), but also seems to be rather easy to describe t...

I did encounter one problem with this sheet, but not a big deal. When you change the ability scores to the new order, the saves don't change with them. Not a big deal really. Just something I noticed.

Hmmmm. Someone passed a Wisdom check.

<t>I've just recently gotten back into gaming since last summer so forgive me if many of you are already familiar with this particular game, but from what I've seen it looks very good. The system almost seems like someone made a "grown up" version of FUDGE (with numbers as the successes instead of t...

I understand your point, Orpheus, but one could just as easily argue that it was Mr. Jackson who gave them a polished product to distribute and market in the first place. We could go back and forth on this one forever.

And indeed we shall!

Yeah, but he funded it with other people's money and New Line distributed and marketed it. In the end, it was their investment. Of course, hi...

<t>I would prefer the stat blocks since, if I introduce a deity during a gaming session, I would like some fleshed out information to go along with it outside of what would fit in a concise chart. Also, unless I'm having a "deity round table" a la Clash of the Titans, I don't really have a use for v...

Maybe the chart can be on the After Winter's Dark-specific, deluxe CK's screen.

Oooooh...a vote for the block!

<t>It's all what you like. Actually, I'm not a big PC guy and have never really played that many for more than a few minutes with friends until a few months ago when I started trying out the MMO's. In fact, any of my friends who are PC/MMO junkies laugh incessantly when I tell them that I really lik...

<t>Awesome! I'm actually thinking about running that very same mod. When I got my 1e PHB and DMG off of ebay last month (for $7. I know, I know: so what? For me it was a good deal. 8) Especially since they're in near mint condition) tucked inside each was a module. One was I1 Dwellers of the Forbidd...

<t>I worked at a game store for a year-and-a-half and I still don't own a PS2. I do plan on getting one in the near future, however, and I'll then have a nice selection of games to choose from (and cheap too!). I had a gamecube and now we're waiting on a Wii to come in at our FLVGS . If you're looki...

The Metroid series on Gamecube are the best for that kind of "I-figured-it-out satisfaction." One great big puzzle. Windwaker is the same way. Enjoy.

<t>Oh the fish! I forgot about the fish. All of the neat little hidden things and coming back to some "mundane" place only to discover that you can open a gate to some new and interesting place is the best thing about Zelda. Twilight Princess is definitely coming for the GC as Nintendo said that the...

<t>Well SE is talking about bringing FF to more platforms than just Sony's since their exclusivity deal is at its end. I've got friends that love them and I did dig playing the GBA version of FF 1&2 on my DS, but normally it's just not a game that I get all excited about. Now Zelda on the other ...

<t>I once had a roommate who had a telemarketer hang up on him. At some point the telemarketer asked my roommate about his business (he was just a student at the time; no business) and he proceeded to try and sell the guy some t-shirts. The actual conversation was hilarious and my friend didn't miss...
