Troll Lord Games

Goodman Games newest release (the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG) gives a shout-out to the troll lords in two places.

1) In the monsters section is a truly hilarious parody monster called the troll lord.

2) Under reccommended reading, they list the (sadly out-of-print) TLG "Book of Names" as a source for PC names.

IMO this game found the "First editon feel" slider on the control panel and cranked it up to 11. Kind of a "total party kill" factory, but the survivors will really have accomplished something.

Yeah. Goodman artist, Doug Kovacs, told me something about the inclusion of the "Troll Lord" at GaryCon. Nice to have included a reference to the Book of Names. That said, don't get me started about the whole out of print thing, and how no company (to this day) has been given a go ahead to publish the GFW series again.
