I'm a geek. A nerd, a dweeb, whatever. Yes I owned garb, yes I still own medieval weaponry. And yeah, I could kick your butt in Mechwarrior the CCG. I love video games, role playing games, tactical board games and all forms of speculative fiction. I will never berate someone for wanting to be a Jedi and take everything Gary Gygax ever wrote as gospel. Well, all of this but that last bit.

Quick Review: Green Ronin’s Freeport Companion for Pathfinder. Pirates, guns and madness!

Zombie cards and my absence from the site

Hey folks! To get some business out of the way, you won't be seeing much of me on Troll in the Corner for a few weeks. I'm set to go in to Surgery tomorrow and am expecting it to take a few weeks for me to recover. That's the not so good news. The good news is, late last night Eric dropped off the reformatted Zombie Cards!

A massive Aruneus update – lots of new art and a layout artist joins us!

Here's an update on the ongoing Aruneus Project. The world was a large place. The Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs existed if not in peace, at least able to survive with each other. Empires were formed, lives created and destroyed, magic flourished, and for a brief time Humanity strove to master Aruneus. Then the undead scourge broke the world.

Quick Review: DC Adventures Hero’s Handbook

DC Adventures Hero's Handbook - I've heard a lot about this product on various podcasts and blogs and I was interested in seeing it when it arrived. I've never been a huge fan of the super hero genre for role playing or honestly of the DC Universe. Now that I have this PDF in my hands, my expectations were matched, exceeded and then blown out of the water with a large blast of energy.

Blood Bowl Team Manager – the card game

In a bit of a surprise, at least to me, Fantasy Flight Games have announced a new Blood Bowl based card game called Blood Bowl Team Manager. I'm thinking they're aiming for the fun of the BB universe without the setup, game board and statistics keeping required to field a league on your own. Since Fantasy Flight Games took on the Talisman Board Game license and did a bang up job with it, I have high hopes that this card game will add more to the Blood Bowl universe.
