Troll Lord Games

I'm thinking of buying this in .pdf as it is apparently OOP. True, it's available used on Amazon... for $1700!

Is it any good?
Has anyone used it for C&C?
Any idea if it will be re-released as a print product?

I tried to register on the GG boards to ask questions there but the registration system isn't sending me the conformation email.

There is definitely a lot to like about it. In fact I have it in PDF as well as two print copies, so I think maybe I should see if I can sell them on Amazon for $1700!

Awesome setting! I ran the Troll Lord group with DCC35. It was great fun. We mainly focused on the Crieste portion of the map, with a lot of the action happening at High Cross and a town I placed nearby called Rookhaven. You will likely find the sandbox style very appealing, a bit like the old greyhawk box or the old judge's guild campaign stuff.

I found the print version, when it was in print, to be a bit pricey. Wasn't like $60 or $70 bucks?

70 bucks but if you can get even half of what those fools at amazon want, then I'd call it a NET PROFITS!

It's aight. You get your $70 worth of material in there. I love and at the same time hate the maps. Why did the artist put big blobs of green over the beautiful maps?!?! Gah, that kills me.

I got mine from a fellow board member, and read through it. I have not yet used anything from the work, but it appears to be useful in a "take what you need" sort of way. I doubt I'd ever play it as a setting.

Great setting. I'm running a campaign in it since two years, centered on Castle Whiterock in the Kingdom of Morrain, and we all have a lot of fun with this game world. The only BIG drawback for me are the crappy, too large, and often barely readable maps. These I really despise, but the rest is first class gaming stuff.

I thought the Germans loved geography?

Do we?

But you're right in that the gazetteer maps look more like geographical (and not even good ones at that) than game maps. Personally, I prefer good maps above geography.

I *MIGHT* have mistaken a love of geography for a love of board games

Probably because of Settlers of Catan.
