    The Troll A Platform

    It looks related. There was a video clip included on that web page. I watched it and did not remember it, but it was about the Troll A Platform, no question. I will investigate it further. Thanks!

    The Troll A Platform

    The The Troll A Platform is pretty cool, primarily because its construction and towing -- yes, they towed at 1500+ feet 680,000 ton object -- was covered in a television documentary in the late 1990s. It currently is the tallest object to have been moved. I think I saw it on Discovery Channel...

    Overlooked Dragon Hoards

    Finding the dragon's lair: good. Engaging the dragon: better. Living through the fight: great. Recovering the body of your long lost dead father after the battle: priceless. Mindlessly dropping the body to greedily grub for gold: hilarious.

    How often do you convert dungeons/adventures to your current system?

    I cannot recall ever converting an adventure from one system to another. I have appreciated reading many such conversions found here on EnWorld. Most of the time, bits of published adventures serve as inspiration for material in what I run.

    Favorite D&D setting (of those listed)?

    Of those listed, hmm, I like Greyhawk best, but Ravenloft is howling in the distance and running it down. Birthright? Meh. ------------------ The original Forgotten Realms was by far my favorite, despite poor editing. The successive editions were good but suffered just a bit from having too...

    Grognard = Grog-nard. It's pronounced just as it appears. Yes I am. :) And no, I can't give you any more XP today. :(

    Overlooked Dragon Hoards

    It's a form of pixelization. Instead of having to click on one specific pixel to move forward in an adventure, you must specifically look over every millimeter of every speck you pick up in order to determine if it is special. Right off the bat, this is bad DMing. How could you "only see the...

    What kind of bribes will you be taking to allow me to get into this game?

    AD&D 1E Seeking advice for my first 1e campaign

    With just the PHB and DMG, there are tons of things for which there are no rules, either in or out of combat. The UA was primarily character classes, spells, and magic items. Players have no real skills based on these three books. The DMG has a list of craft skills, but that is downtime...

    Overlooked Dragon Hoards

    Those incidents are dumbfounding. All the groups I have ran or played in have been greedy treasure groupies. A dead dragon would provoke a relentless search for days. If no hoard were located, they would assume it was somewhere else and starting looking for that.

    Queen of the Demonweb Pits - what's so bad?

    Yes, D1-3 definitely had that issue. The first time I started a run with D1, one of the players wanted to turn right after the first encounter and go off the identified path on the map. He thought there would be nothing but traps down that path and wanted to try and find a way around it...
