Well, if you remove the tongue and get reasonable-sized troll hands from somewhere, it could be decent looking... :/

Maybe we're just not the target audience? Between that tongue and those yaoi hands, Privateer Press might be trying to broaden their appeal by marketing to the the fangirl brigade.

Forbidden romance blossoms between a Trollblood transfer student and the Cygnarite class president at the Iron Kingdoms' most exclusive and extravagant all-boys boarding school. When the headmaster's clutzy but kind-hearted daughter finds out, will she be able to help her new friends keep their steamy secret, or will she accidentally give it all away?
Find out in "Iron High", the latest fictional story set in the Iron Kingdoms, coming soon to the manga shelf of a Barnes & Noble near you!
And keep an eye out for the next volume released later this year. The situation gets even stickier when the Cygnarite boy's prejudiced father, a high ranking military officer, begins to suspect his son's secret Trollblood lover might really be a Cryxian spy! The headmaster's daughter must discover and expose the real spy before the boys' secret is discovered, but are the awkward girl's powers of seduction up to the task?
"Iron High, volume 2" is coming this November. Pre-order it on Amazon today!

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better. |

Blinded by generations in subterranean lairs, night trolls rely on other senses to stalk their prey under cover of darkness. When trollkin warlocks impel them to venture out into the daylight they can become lethal allies. Even enemies fortunate enough to survive an encounter with one of these terrifying creatures are forever haunted by the memory of it hypnotizing their comrades and tearing them apart with venomous, paralyzing claws.
Hmmm... yeah, it could be cool, but there is such a thing as overdoing it

Don't feel bad - it's perfectly acceptable to like something and also find it kinda goofy. I like this guy because he looks kinda goofy.
As for Iron High, maybe it's the sleep deprivation talking, but I do believe it's the best idea I have ever had, and anybody who wants to add to its glory is more than free to do so. Hrm. Now that I mention 'free', Iron High simply must have a swim team! I imagine the captain of the team is a dark haired, brooding Kislevite, whose swim team at his old school trained by doing laps through near-frozen lakes. Since transfering to Iron High, his loyalties have been torn between his old team and his new one.

So...we can expect a Dakka Article about Iron High soon?

They stood in silence in the courtyard, the pink cherry blossoms floating down lazily around them. For a tense moment, not a word was said. Would he still be angry?
Longtongue Flashyfingers thrust the small lunchbox towards the shocked youth, putting every ounce of effort he could muster into his claws to keep from rending the surprise to shreds.
"Stryker senpai, I... made this.... for you!" the troll stammered, his cheeks flushed, his vision locked to the floor, afraid to meet the gaze of the upperclassmen he had come to know so well....
This feels wrong.

http://privateerpress.com/hordes/gallery/trollbloods/solos/trollkin-sorcerer
The sorcerers of the trollkin are not timid lore masters but determined and lethal combatants. Typically born with the white skin and red eyes of albinos, making them easily recognized as trollkin sorcerers at birth, they often command powers associated with elements prevalent in the region of their birth. Thus, many originating from the north command the cold winds of winter as a powerful weapon that can be used to attack or defend.

I haven't read the Night Troll fluff--but I'm assuming the oversize hands and tongue--are meant to mirror cave/night creatures reliance on other senses. I actually dig the model---but not the rules :(.
That Sorceror on the other hand---I like the rules and the model.

Man, albinos seem to have it rough wherever they go. It always seems they're pigeon- holed into mystic roles. At least Madrak has his axe he can go all tough guy against his opponents with (or just hurl it in their faces, which is just as fun).
That sorcerer looks a little on the short side. I like him though. Looks to have a lot of personality.
It's like he's waving around his papers that show he has permission to blow you up.
"See? Says so right here in the rules I can nuke you from the other side of the table! Stupid humans!"
Them trolls and their scrolls...
