T&T Magazines - The Official Discussion Thread!

[lostheretic]

Hmm, doesn't seem like we have a thread like this.

I just picked received Hobbit Hole #13 and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. It's got a lot of information in it and all of it seems to be useful (so far). I've read these articles:

-Game Master's Game short story, which had a cool concept but was written in a confusing way.
-The Making of a Monster article by Ken St. Andre which had some interesting insight into his creative process.
-Helping Diabolical Game Masters article, which had a lot of great ideas and a very fun style. Still, it felt more like a forum post than an actual article.
-Designing a Constant Universe, a great well-written article on world-building.
-Hedrien's Elixir seems like a cool solo adventure, but I'll have to play it to make decent assessment.

I haven't read through the GM adventures yet, but I hope they provide some good ideas. Over all, I'm pretty happy with the purchase!

How about you guys? Did you like this issue? Disagree with what I've stated? What do you think the best issue has been?

Feel free to discuss anything magazine related here!

in general, the magazines are all surprisingly good. there's always something decent in them. i'm continually impressed by what the T&T legions can produce.

while this post sounds like a major suck up, i'm just being sincere. i'm really pretty cynical about what i'll get when i order. in truth, there's a lot of crap and recycled stuff you can get for free online [see other posts here discussing this issue] in the mags as well, but there is always something great that inspires me to include it in my games. in the end this tips the scales in favor of supporting the mags.

In my opinion, every issue of the Hobbit Hole is the best one yet.
It's an incredible mag.

[zanshin]

I would say, and in fact have, that if you buy one thing from "that company" , buy the Hobbit Holes, great value.

[lionrampant]

*pile on*

Yeah, I agree that the Hobbit Hole mags are a great value.

[order99]

I agree also-but i'm having too much interest diverted into "that guy"'s other stuff (supplements, T&T-based Variant games etc.) to have purchased one yet.

[koraq]

Just to emphasize.

I just bought a bunch of goodies from Boozer and all was excellent. HH13 was fabulously excellent!

[Boozer]

Glad you were happy with everything Koraq!

I don't know if everyone here knows but my new email address following the breakdown of my marriage and house move is now as follows:

I thank everyone for their words of kindness and support at this difficult time.

[koraq]

Very!

Ouch, sorry to hear of your difficulties Boozer. Good luck in your new place dude.

Not merely sympathy, my friend, but empathy as well. All my best wishes for your future... feel free to vent to my PM box... since I'm someone you barely know, you might feel freer. Of course you won't , but you most certainly are invited.

[apeloverage]

Yes, good luck Boozer.

Swordsman, you can get them from "that company".

I've just turned my Steaming Pile o' Links post into a sticky, so that this and many other links can be found more easily. Hiding 3 pages back in the forum seems pointless for a reference post of this sort...

[koraq]

BTW, Boozer sells HH from the UK, if that's closer to you.
