Re: TLs Castle Zagyg in PDF

Welcome to the boards! How about a quick intro? What's your connection to Castle Zagyg? Funny this should come up after so many years, but I was looking at my copy of The Outs Inn yesterday and noticed the prices for food/drink/rooms/etc were way inflated compared to standard C&C or even AD&...

The one that is closing is Fair Game in downtown Downers Grove. Much closer. Totally forgot about this thread until it re-surfaced recently. Turns out that another buyer came through in the 11th hour and Fair Game did not close. It's thriving under new ownership, and the new guy is willing to consi...

Hoping to dig into the Marmoreal Tomb set I received from the Trolls recently. It was a long time coming, but looks great.
Would like to get your take on this. According to Ernie's Facebook posting, TLG will be selling copies on its website after KS fulfillment is complete.
Me too, thanks!

Troll Con! 8-) Yup, this! Sorry some of you guys missed it . . some years ago! https://trolllord.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10007 pics in the third post (link) Great small CON. I believe the Trolls began to concentrate on GaryCON after this and I don't think there was TrollCON after this one. :-D

Keeping the respect alive. Celebrate Gary's birthday in any way you deem appropriate.
