Breaking the Silence

Just a quick note to make sure everybody knows that Troll Hammer isn't dead, just resting and recharging for the next assault. I have been going through some major life-changing shit the past month +, but I'm getting by. One thing is for sure, when shit gets really bad, you learn just how many friends you have. I have learned that in abundance. A particularly huge thanks to the many, many members of Trollhalla who have shown their love and support to me when I needed it most. You guys/gals are the best trolls in all of the universes, Trollworld or otherwise!

So, obviously, many of the projects I had slated for release prior to Halloween have been delayed. I can say that in the immediate future we will finally be seeing the release of Awesomesauce: The Roleplaying Game - Troll Hammer Edition. Work will be resuming on Issue #1 of Pocket Troll forthwith, and I already have cover artists and several articles set up for Issues #2 and 3. Goblins & Gunnes 1.5 is still in the works, but will be coming along soon, before year's end if I can help it. Of course, the semi-regular blog posts and articles will be returning very soon as well.

That's it for now, dear readers and friends.

All Hail the Mighty Trollgod!

Pocket Troll Update

There has been a slight change in the Pocket Troll # 1 line up due to scheduling conflicts:

Jeff Freels (Cover lettering/logo)
Jerry Teleha
Mark Evans
David Moskowitz
Dan Hembree
Paul Haynie
Paul Ingrassia

The affected articles will be appearing in #2. Speaking of #s 2 and 3, I have cover artists slated for both, #2 is more than half filled, and #3 is well underway. Once #3 fills, I will close submissions to give me a chance to catch up!

So, if you want to see your work in #s 2 or 3, send in your submission, or at least a proposal, before it's too late!

What's Simmering in Troll Hammer's Cauldron?

I wanted to give everybody a sneaky peak at what I hope to see published by Troll Hammer Press before Halloween.

Pocket Troll #1 Cover Teaser (hoping for a September release)

Awesomesauce Troll Hammer Edition should be out soon (shooting for Oct), and I am pleased to announce that in addition to the core rules and supplements already appearing at Troll Hammer and Mark Meredith's Dice Monkey, there are more rules options, a fantasy spellbook, and a bonus booklet that includes an Awesomesauce solo written by my good friend Charlie Fleming of Rarr! I'm a Monster Publishing. Both booklets will be available at RPGNow as a single download, each in both Pocketmod and regular pdf format, all for the amazing download price of: FREE!!!!!

Do any of you long-time frequenters of Vin's T&T Trollbridge, The Blue Frog Tavern, or Radio Free Trollworld remember Goblins & Gunnes back in 2008? 

Well my friends, get ready for

Goblins & Gunnes Editions 1.5 and 2, A KremmPunk World Setting for Tunnels & Trolls!!!

From the intro to 1.5 (to be released some time in Sept):

"Goblins & Gunnes Edition 1 was written for the 7^th Edition 30^th Anniversary Tin version of T&T, and originally appeared as a series of posts at Vin’s T&T Trollbridge in 2008. Edition 1.1 was distributed as an MS Word document in the files sections of The Blue Frog Tavern and Radio Free Trollworld Yahoo groups. This 1.5 Edition has been updated to the T&T 7.5 Edition, has had a few minor additions and changes, and has gone through further editing. It is meant to whet your appetite for the upcoming Goblins & Gunnes Edition 2, which will be greatly expanded and updated to the forthcoming new edition of Tunnels & Trolls."

Wanna know another secret? Katje DeathKitten Romanov (Trollhalla's Kattje) has signed on to do the cover of Goblins & Gunnes Edition 2!!! This troll CAN'T WAIT to see what the talented Kitten comes up with!

That's it for now, dear readers. Until the next time...

Keep the Troll Hammer a'swinging!!!
