I had actually been playing...Fair question, Jeremy. I had actually been playing mostly Castles & Crusades and some Labyrinth Lord up until September. Then I moved, and the new group I've been playing with is more into Labyrinth Lord (with full AEC). So for most of the last four months I've been mostly playing LL, and that's where my personal writing time went for the blog.<br /><br />I'm a big fan of both systems. I love LL for the classic feel and classic rules (and especially the lite version of AD&D you can emulate with the AEC), but I also love C&C for the classic feel and the new, unified Siege mechanic based on the d20 System. I'd happily write and publish for both product lines, were I to get a chance. <br /><br />Goblinoid is focusing on Starships & Spacemen right now, but I'll gladly work with Dan, too, when there is a chance. Just so happens that an opportunity to work with the Trolls again came up...<br /><br />And Erik, thanks for the nice review. I understand not everything in every issue is going to work for everyone, such is the nature of the smorgasbord. We've got the second issue into the Trolls, and the third is in final edits. We're scheduled for four issues at a minimum, to be continued if sales warrant.<br /><br />For the White Box monsters, I'm trying to hearken back to the olden days, when monsters appeared by the dozens in Dragon Magazine, the Judge Guild Journal, and old fanzines. Stuff that is weird and interesting and challenging and not necessarily going to always fit into the modern "dungeon ecology." Things that are going to make jaded, experienced players sit up and go, "Oh crap, what the HELL is that?"<br /><br />Hope you like...James Mishlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510782553325944558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-90504603328864497592012-12-20T21:27:45.357-05:002012-12-20T21:27:45.357-05:00It's a bit ironic given that his blog (http://...It's a bit ironic given that his blog (http://adventuresingaming2.blogspot.com/) has him currently playing Labyrinth Lord.
