Jim Ward Joins Troll Lord Games (TLG PR)

LITTLE ROCK, AR B January 22, 2008 B Troll Lord Games welcomed James M. Ward to the Troll Dens today. Mr.Ward of METAMORPHOSIS ALPHA and TSR fame has come onboard as Managing Editor for the CRUSADER magazine. With his arrival, CRUSADER becomes a monthly magazine with lots of interesting changes in style and content.

We are very excited about James joining us here, remarked Stephen Chenault of TLG. Ive known James for several years and we look forward to working with him. CRUSADER has languished on the back burner for too long, we are confident Jim can bring it up to speed.

James designed the first science fiction role-playing game, METAMORPHOSIS ALPHA in 1976 and took part in the design of the second CCG, SPELLFIRE and the DRAGON BALL Z CCG. With lots of game and novel credits he brings a great deal of talent to the Troll Lord team. He will be helping a little bit with issue eight and move to make issue nine and up all his.

"I look forward to helping CRUSADER magazine grow even more interesting to hobby game consumers everywhere. With lots of feedback from the great Troll Lord fans, the magazine can grow to be even more fun. Who knows, I might have time to put together a product or two for Troll Lords as well."

To check out more about this and TLGs latest product releases visit us on the web at www.trolllord.com.

I have a question. How will changing the crusader change the subscription price? right now its 20 for 6 issues.

It won't change it at all, only, the hope is your subscription will run out faster. I'll probably put in a 12 issue subscription for 40 odd or so. We'll have to calculate the shipping costs for that. But we are also considering a price decrease from 3.50 to 3.00, Newstand.

Hope that helps.

Steve

L

The same Jim Ward that ran Fast Forward Entertainment ()? The same Jim Ward who printed "Angry Mothers From Heck" in Dragon magazine?

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH. Good luck with that.

JediOre · Post by **JediOre** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:21 pm

He's also the creator of Metamorphosis Alpha which Gygax couldn't praise enough.

Besides, I liked and have used several of the books from Fast Forward.

Ya know, coming here of all places and making fun of the original TSR founders makes about as much sense as going to a Yuri convention and saying you don't like women.

Would this be the same Kyuss who is better known as Nightfall, the guy who was an jerk about his undying love for the Scarred Lands and spammer extraordinaire? The same guy who has been banned, permanently, from ENWorld and it's CM subforum, and gosh knows how many other places?

'Cause really, I'm curious. Anyone know an ENW mod willing to do an IP address match for our mods here?

Peter . . . can and will Terminate! He's a P8000!

Huh. I thought I just saw a Troll here a minute ago. Seems to have wandered off.
