Gord the Rogue is back!

[Treebore]

Unfortunately not in a new story. At least not this time. Gary Gygax and Troll Lord games brings back the old Gord stories in a hardbound/dust jacket book for us to rediscover.

If you want more info go to trolllord.com and look.

*Cheer* click, click, click...huh? What the heck?

220 pages and $29.95 (estimated)? I have disposable income to be sure, but that is crazy pricing as far as I am concerned.

And that cover could use....another pass.

Really looking forward to this, now I may hunt down the old mass markets.

Just my two unsolcited coppers.

Now that is funny!

On the subject of Gord the Rogue, Saga of the Old City was entertaining, though it took me some time to track it down.

I just wish this Gord was back

I rounded out my collection through Amazon Marketplace a while back.

I already had Saga of Old City, Artifact of Evil, Sea of Death, and Night Arrant... all of which I enjoyed.

I wasn't really thrilled by the other books. City of Hawks was awful, and as Gord started to become more and more godlike in the main storyline, all the excitement went away. The last couple of books I read more out of stubbornness than because I was gaining pleasure from the experience

But I'll cheerfully reread the first few books over again

Edit - on the new cover art... hmm. It's all right. But it's no Caldwell.

I liked the latter Gord books for demonic and daemonic inspiration, but I too enjoyed the earlier ones more. I'm hoping that the h/c editions are compilations of several of the books, rather than just a single book, otherwise I'll probably pass, given the cost.

Night Arrant was the best Gord book. (There's actually a copy in my local 2nd hand bookstore at present!)

Allan - the books I'm missing are City of Hawks and Dance of Demons, both of which I've read. I actually bought a copy of DoD, but gave it to a friend for his birthday present as it was the last one he needed and, at the time, I didn't own any of them!

(Sorry I didn't reply to your query earlier, my e-mail is being erratic and my connection from home has become very unreliable).

Cheers!

I'll have to check upstairs to see what I've got: I've been collecting a few spares when I find them cheaply.

No worries, it's been busy enough that I didn't remember having emailed you about them waaaay back in April

I'm reading City of Hawks now and I am enjoyign it a lot. I've read all of the Gord books and while the early ones are the best, the later ones have great stuff on the D&D planar system. I love 'em all.

I was under the impression that the Gord series (at least the first two) were "real" stories of a campaign played/DMed by Gygax. I got this idea from the note at the beginning of the books that "this is based on a campaign run by the author for over a decade" (or something to that effect).

I have read mention lately that this is not true -- that Gord and all the happenings in the books were completely made up just for the book. Is this true? Does anyone here know, or should I ask this in the Gygax thread? (Don't want to ask the same question again if he's already answered it.)
