Troll Lord Games

<r>They're coming for me!<br/> <br/> Seriously, the whole thing stinks, and none of it has gone down as Gary, the Trolls, and I had carefully and painstakingly arranged. I'll leave it at that. For now I would recommend three possible solutions:<br/> <br/> 1.) Make it up yourself. That's right, bust ...

<t>Looks like great times were had by all. So jealous I couldn't be there! Gary would be happy about this event, no doubt, and kudos to Luke for putting it all together. <br/> <br/> Folks celebrating and having fun gaming together . . . <br/> <br/> That's what it's all about!<br/> <br/> Cheers,<br/>...

Rest in peace, Gary. You are missed.

I am very jealous! I wish I could make this, but alas I can not.
I would've run Castle Zagyg nonstop the whole weekend. Many characters would have met their fate . . .

Have fun, mates!

Best,

Jeff Talanian

<t>LD -- Thank for the kind words regarding my work on CZ. I hope you've gotten some excellent use out of the adventure, or at the least some fun reading material. It was such a great joy to work with my boyhood idol, Gary Gygax, and I will forever cherish that.<br/> <br/> Paladin -- GT is mostly co...

I looked to old pulp magazines like Weird Tales, Adventure Stories, Oriental Stories, and Detective Stories, and to characters such as The Shadow, The Phantom, Doc Savage, and Philip Marlowe for classic influence.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my friends and fellow gamers here at the TLG forums. I hope everyone has a fun, safe holiday.

Cheers!

<t>Fellows,<br/> <br/> I enjoy interacting with Castle Zagyg fans regarding the Castle Zagyg adventure and the Yggsburgh supplements as published by TLG. I enjoy reading the tales of adventure, seeing how the material is used and how some have ported the micro-setting to their home brew or other pub...

Very solid piece by Mr. Wright. As evidenced by his home brew campaign posted on his site, the man has talent. Looking forward to more, Sir Seskis!

Pretty good chance I'll pop by as well, as the wife has informed me she is "going out with the girls" for the night. So, put the beer on ice, mates.

Cheers,

Jeff T.

Had a good time chatting, fellows. Sorry I wasn't able to answer all your questions about CZ. Looking forward to future chats!

Best,

<t>Fellows,<br/> <br/> It brings me great joy to know you have begun to receive your CZ: UW sets after it has lingered so long in my computer. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading/playing/tinkering with the material as much as I did developing it. It was tough to send the manuscript to those pesky Tro...

Congrats, Tom. I forgot all about the ENies. Glad to see one of our buddies grabbed an award.

<t>Davis, bro. Wishing you all the best for that precious little girl. Going through what you've been going through is every parent's nightmare. I'm glad everything is looking brighter now. <br/> <br/> On a lighter note . . .<br/> <br/> Looking forward to hanging with you at Gen Con. I'll even let y...

This is indeed and interesting transition for the P&P RPG industry. I'm curious as to what the state of affairs will be 10 years down the road . . .

Congrats, James! The woman must be a saint!

Good call, Keolander. That's the spirit!

Hello Yamo, Die-hard fans that frequent this site and who have read through Gary's Q&A sessions on the net over the years were not likely to "learn" a lot from the first ...

Hi Jackal,

Did the first installment of The Dweomercraefter's Den make it in #9? I'm looking forward to seeing this in print, as it was the last thing Gary and I collaborated on before he passed away.

Thanks,

--Jeff T.

Best wishes, JG, and a speedy recovery to you.

--Jeff T.

Sorry to hear of his passing. He wrote some very entertaining S&S that I feel still holds today.

Nice werewolf smiley thingy.

And an awful pun.

Heh. The only thing it's missing is a Chinese menu in its hand.

Cheers!
