Trolls Anyone?


Castle Greyhawk was notorious for them. Robilar, Terik and Tenser fought them (often en masse) and Robilar suffered at their hands the one time he lost his bearings in the Castle (a tale that is already written about that 1972 adventure and will be appearing in the book due out late this year or early next: Lord of the Green Dragons™). Enjoy watching an elf geting his come-uppins' from the FC ink for one of the Six Original Castle Levels I am finishing for release this year. Drawn by Edward Kann, one of our team members.

Welcome

Welcome to Pied Piper's new blog! I have invited a select number of folks to have posting rights here and I do hope that you take advantage of them, if not regularly, at least when the mood strikes.

The idea of this blog is to separate the chaff from the wheat with our products and ideas, and we have also created a new forum as well that will go live very soon. This blog will facilitate the open discussion and commentary on PPP's products and related fantasy industry topics and other material related to both, such as overlapping fantasy fiction and essays of the sort that would, by discussion, contribute to the a widening base of knowledge for its readers.

This is also a good place to ask me questions of any sort relating to my past designs and involvement within this industry 1968-present, to conduct an interview, for instance,
or at least to arrange for one.

The folks I have invited here are pretty representative of a cross-section: fans, collectors, reviewers, historians, friends, colleagues, and other professionals, such as artists, authors, business owners, graphic designers and game designers, etc.

I am sure that we will all pleasantly enjoy ourselves; and the list of invitees will no doubt be added to, with Gronan being amongst those who I could not find an email address for.
