Troll Lord Games

Youre welcome, guys. If you are on your laptop or desktop PC and need to get your wireless key before a reinstall of windows, or if you simply forgot it, grab wirelesskeyview (this has come in real handy when I was at my mom's for a visit and she forgot her wireless key and I wanted it for my laptop...

Sweet! Other computer guys tell me Win 8 is good under the hood, and MS has a new Interface coming in the next SP. (abbreviations, much? LOL) Yessir, here's a bit of a sneak peak at windows 8.1: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/156968-windows-8-1-unveiled-lots-of-touchscreen-tweaks-desktop-user...

Deathwatch: First Founding

I wrote up the following by way of response to a few queries I have gotten lately via email and forum user PMs. I hope you find it helpful. I was a computer repair tech for around 5 years and have since moved on to being a senior systems administrator with a focus on virtualization systems (Citrix a...

If you dont like the weird default interface of win 8, you can remedy that with various free apps such as this one at (http://www.classicshell.net/). Windows 8 isnt bad once you get used to it. It took me months to warm to it and it will never be win7 to me, but its a serviceable OS. Learn to use th...

Ive always used paper towels on my oil dipstick. It hasnt hurt any of em!

Very nice, chieftain!

Count me in for a copy!

Dude your killin' me here. Well hopefully there will be a miraculous change in your work schedule....

Werd, broseph. It suckles, but it is what it is

Not looking good for me right now. Work has locked down the entire month of August for a major rollout of a new software suite for our enterprise environment. Unless they publish more targeted dates, the whole month is shot as far as time off goes.

On the PC games: DA: Origins was one of the best CRPGs ever IMO. Awesome, awesome game. Dragon Age 2 was.... the opposite of awesome for me. Sadly, this colored my interpretation of the tabletop RPG and I never gave it a real shot.

No worries, all. Ill make sure to kill Hartsfield's Dark Heresy character with a Dire Chicken at our next game.

As some have already stated, most of the WSG should plug right in to C&C without issue. I hope your game goes well!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays d00dz.

Given the 12 hour minimum stipulation, surprisingly few:
OD&D
AD&D 1e
AD&D 2e
Classic D&D
C&C
WFRP1e
WFRP2e
Dark Heresy
Savage Worlds
Top Secret/SI
Gamma World
Star Frontiers

Think that's about it, considering a 12 hour minimum play-time.

Kindle Fire does as well as most arm-based dual core processor android devices. You can make it much smoother by purchasing EZPDF for android devices. It is the best of breed of pdf readers on android, IMO. I have read 200 meg RPG PDFs on my Asus Transformer with few issues. Yes, it's not as fast as...

The GF bought me a very nifty officially licensed Battletech carrying case for my figs (The Overlord):

Mishler, Im so glad to see you back among us here on the forums and even more happy to see that youre doing C&C stuff again! I hope all is well with you, chieftain.

My kindle paperwhite will be here tomorrow according to amazon. I have had a sony prs505, a nook color, an asus transformer prime and now a Dell XPS 12 tablet/ultrabook hybrid. I have read books from each and every one. My personal findings are that, for just reading books, there is nothing at all (...

The day aint over yet, guys.
REMEMBER:
Duck and cover!!!

oh dude, NICE

Download an app called "Calibre" and it will convert between multiple formats and even natively supports both platforms for ebook management. It's an awesome (and free) app that works on Mac, PC, and Linux. Without this app, my ebook addiction would not be as rampant as it is today

Happy Hanukkah to you, sirs!

Aww yeah, bro. Let us know how yer C&C game went/goes. I havent had enough time to game lately, but ran a two session C&C game about a month and a half ago and it was a lot of fun. Hopefully after the holidays are over, Ill be positioned for "moar gaemingz".

Nice "get", man. That price is better than youll find for that book on average from what I've seen.

We used segments with weapon speed factors and casting times. It was a lot of fun as I recall, but in retrospect I cant determine whether it really added anything to the combat. Still, I would use segments if I ever ran an AD&D game again.

Cumberbatch is awesome^3. If you have not, please go watch at least two episodes of BBC's Sherlock (not the somewhat lackluster American "Elementary" plz and thx). It will showcase the awesomeness of Cumberbatch and Freeman, both of whom are in the new Hobbit movies. PS- if, by some strang...
