Tabletop SentinelTroll Lord Games' Engineering Towns sequel teaches fantasy urban planning from population density to magical infrastructure. Essentially a civil service simulator for dungeon masters who've been waiting their whole lives for this. https://l.d20.ninja/yckt267j #fantasy #Rpg #worldbuilding #trollLordGames
Jon HancockThis is an interesting offer from Troll Lord Games: school game clubs can apply for a package of Castles & Crusades books and PDFs.

When I ran Tunnels & Trolls at a summer camp in Maine I had some very generous support from Flying Buffalo (which was great, because I kept giving away my copies of the game to kids). Always good to see publishers helping groups like this.
Physical copies are USA only, which is fair enough given the cost of international shipping these days.
While most games publishers are fretting over tarrifs and major distributors going bust, over at Troll Lord Games they are dealing with other issues:

Mick Muffin@Nanard_Groubiche another question (feel free to jump in @CatDad): I found this posting from 2013 from a @trolllordgames designer (?). It discusses making ALL special class abilities based on the Challenge Base 12 even if the associated attribute is not one of a PC's primary attributes. I have the 8th printing PHB but it doesn't include this change. Am I missing it? https://trolllord.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13775 #TrollLordGames
Castles & Crusades users: I've read (in multiple places) that lowering the Challenge Base for secondary attributes from 18 to 16 makes for a more enjoyable experience. What say you? #TrollLordGames #ttrpg #castlesandcrusdes #rpg
Any Castles & Crusades devotees out there? Last year, I bought the core books in the hopes of achieving an experience that more resembles AD&D 1e/2e. Sadly, I lost momentum and the game I planned never happened. Well, I'm back at it. C&C is a respectful update, but the books are truly Gygaxian in their sprawl. Has anyone assembled a lean and mean player facing C&C for Dummies type resource? (Troll Lord should hire a ruthless editor and a layout specialist IMO.) #ttrpg #TrollLordGames
D3Nachdem ich mir letztens das PDF von Amazing Adventures 5e gekauft habe (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/294977/Amazing-Adventures-5E), war ich schon drauf und dran mir das Buch aus den USA kommen zu lassen. Gestern war ich im Brave New World in Köln und da stand's im Regal 🤩
