radioactive orcs!
One of the things on my hobby/bucket list is to finish the first game of Tunnels & Trolls I ever played. The Game Master was the Trollgod himself. The players were a bunch of folks he recruited over the Internet, including me, a relatively new Internet-acquaintance of his. You see, in the early days of the Internet, I figured I had to make a web site. I wanted to be on the world wide web first! Well, not first, but among the first...hundred thousand or so. Anyway, I started a web page for #Wasteland, the 1988 Interplay post-nuclear war role-playing game, and greatest computer game ever. As part of my web-based obsession with the game, I decided to look up (probably using Webcrawler or Yahoo! search--no Google back then!) people whose names were listed on the box credits, and found Ken. He was part of the scenario design team (and will be again for the sequel!). I professed my total fanboy fandom of his work. I ended up trading e-mails with many of them, but developed a cyber-gaming-relationship and friendship with Ken that has endured through the years, all due to him inviting me to play in his play-by-post game of T&T, which we never actually finished. So where am I going with this?
Trollgod (who used to blog here, and so I followed him here, but then he left), called me out in his latest blog. I therefore will return the favor, scratching his back so to speak by calling him out in my blog. His latest idea is one he resurrected from the 1990s when he thought about creating a play-by-mail T&T game, but never did, although eventually he made that play-by-post game which became my first game of T&T. Taran Dracon met his doom, but I resurrected him off camera and have played him in many games, PBP style, since then. Now Trollgod is looking for interest in a new incarnation of his old idea. Will you answer the call to fame and glory to game with the Trollgod? Will I? Do you feel lucky, orc?
