Troll Lord Games

I'm looking for anything before issue 60.

Personally, I'd stick to RPG stuff.

I must say, I was expecting the CZ article to be much more substantial and less of a summary of the project history.

I'm not into romance novels. Sorry.

Man, CZ is going to rock. I will be placing my order as soon as possible.

I still hope to see that horror article one day. Maybe in the October issue?

The game will most certainly NOT be for everyone... Just as C&C is not for everyone. (I know... blasphemy.)

My problem is with calling the game Dungeons & Dragons. It's not rational, but that name means something to me. It means a lot, in fact.

Can you link to this review?

Can't wait. I'm subscribed through #13 as of now!

There are no furries in this game. If they appear, they will die a most horrible death!!

Yeah, based on the subject I was worried there for a sec that the Trolls were planning to take their future releases in a very weird direction.

Then why are you posting here?

Mainly Castle Zagyg. How long I've waited for it! Crusader has some good articles, too, so I subscribe to that.

Quote: I think this is good. Its irksome to the old timers...that core group that buy every version of the game... because they don't get the love anymore, but its VERY good in that it brings new blood into the industry. Meh.

The original AD&D, Fudge, Toon.

And you are, of course, free to tweak the class in just that way.

That's true of any RPG rule. When I talk about the C&C fighter without qualifications, though, it's safe to assume I mean the PHB one.

I would have liked to have seen a 1/1, 3/2, 2/1, 5/2 attack progression like the AD&D fighter and their combat dominance ability is truly useless.

They're still the best pure fighters against most foes, though.

In the heat of play, it will slowly evolve into a compound of your personality and those of your better participants, a superior alloy.

A superior alloy due to being based on the finest steel in the first place.

The practitioners of toxopholy didn't go extinct either. But how many people would recognize the word?

If the Olympics gave out medals for AD&D play, I'd be even less worried.

This is in stark contrast to many a forum post on various sites casting aspersions on anyone who deviates from the many incarnations of 'one true way-ism' that floats about out there.

You mean like "What's the deal with all the 1E fans..."?

<t>As for why I feel like I do:<br/> <br/> Why?<br/> <br/> 1. It works and I'm used to it. I'm not used to the various tweaks and changes to the system that C&C uses. Unified resolution mechanics and other such modernistic fads are okay for other games, but not my D&D. I want a table for eve...

For what it's worth, I still use 1E. I'm mainly interested in C&C for Castle Zagyg.

I dont think the gelatinous cube ,owlbear or a few of the others are stupid.

Me, either. Then again, I saw most D&D monsters as a 10 year-old, so maybe his adult outsider's perspective here is telling.

I'm gonna have to go with George W. Bush.
