Eposic: RolePlaying Games and Other Nonsense

August 17, 2008: Well, the First Annual Tunnels and Trolls Convention came and went. I enjoyed myself, as did everyone that attended, I'm sure. Got to play in a game run by none other than the creator of T&T, Ken St. Andre. That was one of the highlights of the convention for me. I also got to meet other cool people, some of which I'd met on Trollhalla but didn't have faces to put to names. I would have liked to have met even more Trollhallans, but maybe that can happen some other time. Of course, there were plenty of other gamers there that don't belong to Trollhalla, and they were cool, too.

I had a chance to play in one of Tom Loney's games at the con. His game system is similar in many ways to T&T, but with enough differences to make it a completely different game from T&T. I managed to obtain the rules for one of his space opera scenarios, and I've posted a review of it on this site. Check it out.

Check out this original mp3, called Of Dice and Dungeon, by my son, Andrew, under the pseudonym of Say No More Tongues. It's a riot that any rpg gamer should appreciate, even if it is geared more to d20 than T&T. (You will need mp3 player software installed to listen to the track.)

If you are a Tunnels and Trolls fan, then I encourage you to join Trollhalla, on which site I'm an admin. Most of what I do on my eposic.org site is primarily for Trollhalla members. Joining Trollhalla is free, unless you want to be able to win prizes from the Trollgod's contests. But that's entirely up to you. Nothing on my site will require you to have a paid Trollhalla membership; a free membership will suffice.

If you're not a fan of Tunnels and Trolls, then you may still find the old RPG tools, the example source code, or other existing items on this site of interest. So you're welcome, too. Feel free to browse. And who knows, I might get a wild hair and decide to do something strange and spontaneous unrelated to T&T. Just don't hold your breath.

Yours truly,

Michael (aka Khayd'haik, on Trollhalla)
