Troll Lord Games

Also, have you considered releasing the levels as on module at a time, soft cover or PDF? That way there is as long a wait or those using Castle Zagyg can just get the levels we interested in? Thanks! At the moment, I think the focus is on the hardcover/slipcase version. I will leave it to the good...

If you go to my blog, over in the "free downloads" section, you'll find a link to the free pdf version of the dungeon, which has levels 2 through 13. It includes maps, although a link to poster-versions of the maps are also available right below the first link. The print version will include everyth...

That would be Richard Graves, who published his level under the title "The Mad Demigod's Castle" in 2009 (after I asked him not to use "Castle of the Mad Archmage"). He goes by the name "Rath" over at DF. I never looked much past the cover, myself, but it seems like he only did level 1, not the surf...

I saw the first and second levels and thought they were OK, not my cup of tea May I ask how? As far as I'm aware the only people who have seen them are myself and the folks at BB. If you're referring to the levels that were done as a sort of adjunct to the Castle of the Mad Archmage by a third part...

<t>I tried to order this through my FLGS, but they say that none of the three distributors with whom they work can get it. They were able to get other TLG products, such as the C&C Players Handbook.<br/> <br/> Any ideas on what to tell them, or should I just order it through the website? I usual...

<r>At the risk of tooting my own horn, I would like to announce that the latest version of Castle of the Mad Archmage is now available as a free download on my "Greyhawk Grognard" blog. It includes Level 7: THE CRYPTS.<br/> <br/> Enjoy!<br/> <URL url="http://greyhawkgrognard.blogspot.com">http://gre...

<r>I was in during the mid-late 80's and early 90's; Barony of Settmour Swamp and Barony of Carolingia (both in the Kingdom of the East). I always made a point of going to the dance practices; great place to meet girls. <br/> I keep meaning to get back into it, but just don't have the time nowadays....

<r>There's an episode of Spongebob Squarepants that shows them playing something suspiciously like D&D. <br/> <br/> Plus the Dexter's Lab episode "D and DeeDee" which is centered around the game.<br/> <br/> Joe<br/> <URL url="http://greyhawkgrognard.blogspot.com">http://greyhawkgrognard.blogspot...

I got "Saga of the Witch Queen" in hard copy and it seemed very good. I haven't run it yet, but just as a read-through it was quite interesting.

O RLY?

I just scored the coloring book on eBay. The one with the map/picture of Dyvers in it. And how's your copy of "Egg of the Phoenix" doing?

Sorry... feeling snarky. You know us crochety Gognards...

<t>Okay...<br/> <br/> So I am familiar with the arguments as to why C&C is better than D&D3.x, and most of the few other alternatives out there. But here's one I've not yet heard.<br/> <br/> How is C&C demonstrably superior to AD&D? It certainly can't compete for "old school" street ...

<t>I dunno... I don't care so much about the edition of the rules so much as the setting they support. I haven't bought any 3.x stuff, and won't be buying any 4.x stuff. I would absolutely love it if they would stop messing up my beloved World of Greyhawk. But I suppose that's too much to ask; they'...

Obviously, Crusader subs would be similar.

For the love of the Gods! PLEASE get that on the website in some form or another! If submissions are as sought as we are told... the format for submissions should not be hidden.

<t>A friend of mine had a copy of Avalon Hill's "Tactics II" in her house tucked away amongst years-old magazines, and we started to play it (we must've been around 7; this was back in the early 1970's). I was immediately hooked and started branching out into other AH and SPI games (and even press-g...

Gotta say, I'm waiting on that and the CK Screen a lot more than I am on adventure modules.

I love New Wave music.

And a very... interesting video to boot.

Thanks!

I could see a half-orc bard belting out something curiously akin to Klingon Opera...

I've got to say, I've met Mr. Gygax at several GenCons back in the day, bought him a yard of beer once, and I always found him to be a really nice guy.

And yes, he was nice even before I bought him the beer.
Thul

Ah, thanks. At first it looked like a kind of updated AD&D. Definitely don't have the time for a "silly" game system.

Thul

See, I've been out of gaming too long. I just stumbled across something called Hackmaster that seems to be laying claim to the same "old school goodness" territory as C&C.

Anybody able to tell me some of the differences between the two?

Thul

Want to put that link up here?
