Troll Lord Games

I recently picked up this nice cheap PDF:

http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/1 ... =5972_9385

I've noticed a couple of different recent threads in which some folks said they get overwhelmed with the details of published settings. If that's the case, this might be for you. It's a short product - 56 pages, so definitely not overwhelming. It's got an old-school (I suppose some might say "vanilla") feel, perfect for any D&D / C&C set of races, classes, monsters, etc. It provides a very brief description of each area (with a nice big world map without a lot of detail), and then a little more detail for the central Kerenak province (with it's own close map).

Anyway, it's pretty cool, and perhaps worth checking out, FYI.

EDIT: Oh yeah, it's also completely rules-agnostic.

I really like this setting. Just enough to give some creative flavor and set the stage, with plenty of room for you to be creative and fill in the rest. I am one of those people who typically do my own world settings, and don't like exhaustive campaign settings as a rule. If I have to spend a million hours literally studying a world's geography, cultures, history, and politics, I am going to opt out. The whole selling point of buying premade settings and adventures is to allegedly save you time. I find that these exhaustive types of settings actually take far more time than just doing it myself.
And as a side note, I actually enjoy the Barebones Fantasy game they put out as well.

I've looked at that several times. You're saying it's worth it?

R-

If that's the sort of thing you're looking for, and you have $3.49 to spare, ya, I'd recommend it.

So, funny story... I already have this PDF. I must have downloaded it when I downloaded the BareBones stuff. I'll give it a look through as I find the time.

I went ahead and got the print/PDF POD option. Still under $14, even with the $4 shipping.

So then, yes, it's worth it.

My print copy arrived today. Its about the size of the little brown books of the original D&D boxed set! I'll have to see if it fits inside the box.

Ya, my hardcopy of the BBF core rule book is about that size too - I think they all are. Very portable!
