TC wishes you all a happy holiday
Whatever you celebrate - even if it's only a day of work or an excuse to eat a great dinner, here's hoping you have a great holiday season. On a personal note, as a connoisseur of fine Christmas music myself (I recently broke out my Star Wars Christmas Album) I bring you one hell of an awesome Christmas video.

18. December 2008
Here you have a robot swarm moving a child. Note the look of paralyzing fear in the childs face. Obviously their parents promised them a puppy if they would just lie still and let the cute looking, LCD encrusted robot swarm do it's thing. This kid will be in therapy for YEARS.

5. December 2008
Now that we've discussed a bit of the nature of zombies themselves entering into a campaign, we'll take a look at how the living are coping with the dead.

4. December 2008
We here at Troll in the Corner have been thinking about zombies a lot lately. More specifically about inviting them into a role playing game. While we're not sure which system we're going to integrate them into yet, we've been sketching out a few thoughts about bringing zombies into systems that don't come stock with zombies. Not your D&D style, couple of zombies in an encounter meet up. We're talking full on Zompocalypse here. A situation where the majority of humanity is either dead, or dead and hungry.

As such, I keep an eye out for some good deals for us all. Especially now with the holidays fast approaching.
