Troll Lord Games

Sadly, no. I really wanted them in, but just couldn't figure a way to work it.

<t>As the author, guess I should pipe up.<br/> Another Fine Mess is an adventure module for StarSIEGE that is somewhere between Battlestar Galactica and Firefly, leaning heavily towards the latter.

Thanks, Jeff! That means a lot.

I have no words. The Sci-Fi community has lost a great pillar.

...too bad its name wasn't Michael. (rimshot)

Okay, that was in bad taste and I apologize.

RIP, Mrs. Roddenberry. At least you're with your husband, now.

<t>Here's a tidbit you may not know.<br/> <br/> TSO is the heavy metal band Savatage.<br/> <br/> Sort of.<br/> <br/> They started off as Savatage with a bunch of different singers, so they could do Christmas-themed concept albums for a wider audience. They have since come into their own a bit more, ...

TSO FTW. I wish they'd do another non-Christmas album, as Beethoven's Last Night was fantastic. Several years ago when I saw them in Pittsburgh they said they were working on another non-Xmas one called Queen of Winter Night, but it never materialized

I'm also working on a StarSIEGE adventure, under a "handshake" kinda deal with Steve.

Breakdaddy is right. Gambit FTW.

But what this flick *really* needs is some Longshot. He's well past due for some big screen time, and he and Logan always made a good "odd couple" pair.

<t>Was just talking with Steve via e-mail. So far as I can tell (though I could be misreading him) he has specific groups he's going to use to playtest it, so I doubt there will be an open call. <br/> <br/> The contracts are signed, the draft is turned in, and Steve is working on the scheduling (as ...

Holy crap the CZ board is locked? That sucks

Excellent.

So, how're those chick flix, Break-o?

So, Breakdaddy just told me he's gonna watch a CHICK FLICK.

BREAKDADDY WATCHES CHICK FLICKS!

...Just thought you might like to know.

None, yet. I'm still unsure how exactly the Trolls handle that, being new to the "stable" and all...and judging solely by his blogs, my guess is that Steve has his hands full at the moment with his current production schedule and the reshuffles caused by the loss of the Trigee licenses.

As it so happens, I've an idea for a first supplement for it, if the game warrants that...but I don't know if I can do it. I'll have to pull a few strings and see what I can do.

Looking forward to it, Steve.

If you like Storyteller you'll probably like the Unisystem. If you don't you won't. Oh to be fair US did overcome the Storyteller problem of higher dice pools...

Plot and Character driven.

I construct games around my players' characters, and build stories with plots uniquely suited to said characters backgrounds and personalities. The characters then have a built-in motivation to drive the plot forward without the need for railroading.

I love it when I shamelessly pimp my shit and someone else comes along to support my efforts

<r>Yeah, Philotomy was the one who kind of kick started me on the quest that led to my own old-school rpg, Spellcraft & Swordplay, which kind of (in the words of Bill Coffin) does for OD&D and Chainmail what C&C does for AD&D.<br/> <br/> If anyone's interested, it can be found at <UR...

<t>Guys, we're not even CLOSE to a release date announcement on this. It's awesome how excited you are, but I don't want that to turn into "they promised and it never came out!!!"<br/> <br/> As soon as there's something to report, we will. But for now the game's still well and truly "on the anvil." ...

Great to hear! Keep talking it up; it still has a ways to go before it hits the shelves, so it's going to be important to keep it on everyone's radar while we go through playtest, editing, revision, etc., and you guys are going to be instrumental in helping to keep it on radar.
