Troll Lord Games

<t>I'm completely hooked on two current series:<br/> <br/> 1) The Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson:<br/> <br/> Gardens of the Moon<br/> <br/> Deadhouse Gates<br/> <br/> Memories of Ice<br/> <br/> House of Chains<br/> <br/> Midnight Tides<br/> <br/> The Bonehunters <br/> <br/> Reap...

<t>I recently cracked open my SF books, and I was amazed by the simplicity and elegance of the rules. I think converting them would mess with the feel too much for my tastes.<br/> <br/> It's a very good design. I'm sure things could be improved, but credit to TSR for not spitting out a D&D clone...

I'd *love* to see issues 5 and 6 myself. I'm not sure Steve got my change of address.

Believe me, I understand completely where you're coming from.
Hang in there.

<t>Also, I haven't tried to log in, but I think the Frappr map for the Society still exists.

<t>I wouldn't mind working on a downloadable Domesday Book with articles and such, like I originally intended. I have to get out of LARP season and get more established at my new job, though.<br/> <br/> Ser - you can still have that Issue #1. I need to finish unpacking so I can find the extra copy, ...

<r>Ah, so I came across as intended. <br/> That entire dungeon isn't right, so I figured I'd stick with the theme.<br/> <br/> Heh...and I just looked at the google ad banner:<br/> <br/> "Protect Fingers. Stop finger injuries in doors. Free 10 year warranty. <URL url="http://www.fingershieldsafety.co...

Considering they're about to take on the middle finger, the best is yet to come.
Wait until they see the hydra.

<t>Before the stoning begins, I'll quickly post...<br/> <br/> First, Steve is right. I e-mailed him a while ago and said that due to several personal issues, I wouldn't be able to give the Society the attention that it deserves. I had several ideas that I was excited about, but they fell by the ways...

The problem I'm having with your argument is that I've yet to see proof he's misinformed the public.

Holy water tastes pretty good. It's better than getting giardia.

Fiff.

I could whip up an angle relevant to gaming if you'd like.
