Figment of Your Imagination

I came back from CopperCon 28 with one of the hardcover copies of Griffin Feathers and other tales from Troll World. In my guise as Tmuwo, I am a member of Trollgod's Trollhalla. From January through February 2007, eight denizens of Trollhalla competed in the Wacky Race: Naked Doom Edition. As Tmuwo, I submitted my character description and posted a poem to Trollhalla's Trollwalla trying to encourage more players. As the game progressed, we submitted our actions each turn and Ken St. Andre wrote the serialized story of what happened. Eventually, that story was compiled and published in Griffin Feathers and other tales from Troll World as the story "Monster Race -- Naked Doom" in March 2008.  Pick up a copy and see just how far Tmuwo succeeded in the race.

I came back from GenCon Indy 2005 with one of the 250 colour copies of Tunnels and Trolls 7.0. In my guise as Tmuwo, I am a member of Trollgod's Trollhalla. We have assisted the Trollgod in putting together his 30th anniversary edition of the game. Besides being buried in the list of names on page two (the dedication), this game sees the publication of the spell I created: Creme de la Kremm (on page ninety-one).

CdK was inspired by classic pulp fiction such as K-9 & Company's "A Girl's Best Friend" or Shadowfist's Two-Fisted Tales of the Secret War. In the pulps a master spell-caster would be surrounded by lackey spell-casters hoping to be associated with the powerful any way they can. The master spell-caster would pool the magical energies of his lackeys and himself and conjure up evil or directly fight the heroes. However, I wrote the spell in such a way that it could also be used by a master spell-caster to beef up a lackey to fight the heroes so that the master could get away or so heroes could beef each other up to take on bigger than normal threats. It's fairly versatile, and it's a homonym pun. What more could you want?
