Gen Con 2026: Games, Good Times & a Few Surprises

I’m at Gen Con 2026! In this special episode of The Black Notebook, I talk about the games I played, including HARP and Rolemaster Unified, what I picked up from Palladium, Catalyst and others, and what the convention looks like for an old-school gamer in 2026. I also talk about the surprising lack of classic RPG material, meeting listeners who recognized me, and a very unexpected moment with the folks at Palladium Books. This one is just me, my notebook, and a few days at Gen Con.

Why AD&D Trolls Were Nightmare Fuel

In this episode, I look at what made the AD&D 1st Edition troll such an unforgettable monster. We’ll dig into its frightening regeneration, surprising speed, brutal attacks, and the psychology behind why experienced players feared them. We’ll also compare how trolls have changed over the years and why the original version still deserves its reputation as one of fantasy gaming’s greatest nightmares. If you’ve ever watched your party panic as a troll’s wounds closed before your eyes, this episode is for you.

Adventure 157: The Myth of Old School Exceptionalism
