Troll Godfather Press Essentials

With the possibility of T&T related products being removed from Ken’s TGP catalog, what products do you recommend most to others in this 11^th hour? Get ‘em while they’re on sale (and still available)! 

I really like the kindred and illkin spellbooks. How about you?

I am always a big fan of his solos. Also picked up Powertrip - I did enjoy that it was a slice of Roleplaying history, a shame that the Aztec Runequest supplement never saw the light of day.

Interestingly enough? That’s how I stumbled into the knowledge about two weeks ago that all this was coming down the pipes. I was talking to Ken about fleshing out Power Trip into a full set of game rules, or at least a beefy supplement to dT&T. He told me to hold off, then let slip a bit of the vague common knowledge we all now have. I figured it was an oversight since I hadn’t read anything else about it online, and said nothing to anyone.

I have all the kindred spellbooks. They're a great way to create a unique/unusual NPCs or off-the-beaten-path magic items. Beyond that, any of the solos a body doesn't already have. Worst case, you have them to play on a rainy day. Best case, you convert them to a GM adventure and treat your party of delvers as grist for the mill.

Monsters! Monsters would seem to be a no-brainer, especially with devadasi 's (a.k.a. Thessaly) supplement Uprising at Buzzard's Gulch (also on DriveThruRPG) now available.

Beyond that?  Well, what strikes your fancy?

I picked up Toughest Dungeon in the World, one of the few things I didn't already have.

[ProfGremlin]

I've just run through the catalog of both TrollGodFather Press and FBI (there're a number of discounted titles here, too) to pickup the following:

• Mongoni Island
• A Traveler's Tale
• Blue Frog Tavern (Apparently I've never had a copy...)
• Caravan to Tiern
• Red Cult of Vladimire (An intro GM adventure for MSPE)
• Four Jars of Mead
• How to Write a Solo (You just never know)
• Silver Serpent
• Mistywood

Looking forward to the wonderful sounds of tumble-rumble klak-klak!

• How to Write a Solo (You just never know)

Just bought this and after a few minutes of reading through it, I've found multiple typos (likely OCR-related). I think the Buffalo should be grounded until he can pass the written test first.

Suddenly there comes a bloodcurdling roar from behind you. You whirl to face an immense Troll, his eyes aflame with bloodlust and his black lips set in a ferocious snarl. His powerful hands are but inches from your throat and unless you can make your third level saving roll on tuck, he will twist your head off with a single practiced flick of his wrists.

No, no. It has to be tuck, since if you can tuck your head in tight enough, the troll can't rip it off.

Well, to be fair, have you seen the hoofs of a buffalo? I'm surprised the keyboard survived the manuscript.

We'll call it an early example of Talents the "Duck, Tuck and Roll" manoeuvre.  Typically a L2SR on Luk or Dex, players choice, when grappled to extricate themselves from dire circumstances.
