May he live on in memory and in song.

Bump, so everyone has the opportunity to see.

SON OF KROMGOL, YOU HAVE THE SCANS!

I love you so much right now. I thought you had abandoned us.

I vaguely remember this.

Your dad gave this to you, or you played as this character with your dad, something like that?

>>13732023
No sir, I would never abandon my Brothers.

I gave my word and I have delivered.

Just with arranging the funeral and the holidays and moving back to texas Took up a lot of my time. But I am home now, and that's what matters.

For those who don't know/remember:

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/12591647/

Warning, contains manly tears.

>>13732038
No, he passed away and after going through his things in remembrance of him I found his character sheet. This character sheet.

31HP on 1st level? Does 4E works like 2E, or is there is something wrong?

Someone Archive this if you will.

>>13732068
I honestly have no idea.

All I know is he used to play a homebrew setting in college so god knows what his GM allowed.

Bump for Kromgol

/tg/, have you forgotten already? I am disappointed in you.

Crivens, what took you so long OP?

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/13731949/

Archived.

Thanks for sharing this, man. This is a really cool sentiment.

I raise my pint to Kromgol! May his deeds long be remembered and his lineage flourish throughout the coming ages

>>13732145
Well his brother was trying to fight for a lot of his stuff, including his property, car, computers, everything that limey bastard could get his hands on.

After a lengthy legal battle where I had to present evidence that my father hadn't talked to him in almost 12 years and get that shit squared away I had to move back to Texas. In doing so I lost my job and car, and now am in a small town with my mother and step-brother settling in.

I scraped my savings together and bought a new printer for the family and made the scans today.

>>13732172

Sorry to hear that dude. Hope things start going forward for you soon

Bumping again while I get a drink.

>>13732172
Best of luck man

Just thought you'd want to know that my barbarian has Kromgol written in the deity section of his character sheet.

To make you feel more awesome, Son Of Kromgol, here is some amazingly 80's music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZKpByV5764
Seriously, it's impossible to listen to this and not feel like a badass.

>>13732253
>>13732266
Thanks. Things will turn around soon. They always do. My brother knows I've been through a lot of stress and we're taking a trip to our games Workshop next weekend to play some 40k and just relax. He'll play his Iron hands, I'll play my Orks and all will be well.

It's... gorgeous.

>>13732283
That's awesome. May Kromgol guide his actions and may he fight many glorious battles.

>>13732287
I love this song!

Wow. I'm normally quite a stoic person, but this gets me for some reason.

You have my sympathies.

>>13732309
Thank you brother.

>>13731949
>>13731969
He is with the gods, feasting in their halls.

>>13732383
Drinking Grog and Seducing wenches.

I have been eagerly awaiting the return of the son of kromgol. Good to see you're back.

Oh man, I remember this thread.

Tearing up in public like a bitch, but I don't care. Long live the memory of Kromgol!

You glorious son of a bitch. Glad you're doing (relatively) okay.

I salute you and the father that bore you, son of Kromgol. May his warrior's spirit live on in your blood and your childrens' blood for generations to come.

FOR KROMGOL!

>>13731949

Son of Kromgol, I have to ask: Did you ever track down the player of Melor? Man, if you found him one day and handed him the character sheet... that's a movie ending right there.

This thread is made of awesome and win.

Gods' speed, Son of Kromgol. May we all be remembered as well as you have remembered your father.

Melor seems like an awesome thief.
Helping him write a will that gives him all his shit... lol indeed.

Glad you had a good father that you have good memories of, Sonof Kromgol.

Sorry to hear things are bad for you man. Add a trip code to your name (#RANDOM-JUMBLE-HERE after your name) so people can't claim to be you.

I've had life wrecking days where the world collapses and they make you a different person, but remember you're still a person and you need to take care of your own needs as well as those of others when you can.

If you want to play 40k buy a 4x4 board, and then make some terrain out of card, it's really cheap and you can play 40k any time you want.

Stay strong bro.

Kromgol.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>13737133
>>13737274
Wow I can't believe this thread lives!

I thought no one cared or remembered.

But, my brother and I are back form getting beers and seducing wenches (quite literally actually) and I'm here to stay.

And no, I never did find melor.

Kromgol ;_; Captcha knows that he was a utopian vangest.

Alright guys.

I'm making a fucking public deceleration. I'm a bit drunk and happy. No more sadness. No more tears. We will celebrate what Kromgol stood for, and not his death. WE will celebrate the man and drink. So everyone sing this song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzGwKwLmgM

And kick one back. Myself? I'm enjoying Shiner Black Lager.

Anyone in the 817 area hit me up. I need some drinking buddies.

>>13737312

Of course you never found Melor. He is far too slippery a scoundrel to be found so easily. He has moved silently away into the night. Perhaps someday, when a hero must steal the chill away from the winter or the world needs a thief to filch the blue from the summer sky, he shall return.

>>13737442
Ah how clever and tricksy is he!
No wonder.

Son of Kromgol, my grandmother died over the holidays. I share some understanding of your pain, and am overjoyed to see that you have not forgotten.

Incidentally, is it just me, or is it usual to find out that you hardly knew someone once they die? I found out that my grandmother has been around the world, smuggled bibles under the Iron Curtain, and... Just all sorts of amazing things that I would never have expected from that auld scotswoman.

Anyway, thank you, Son of Kromgol.

>>13737589
I learned more in my father's death than he ever could have taught me in his life.

I just wish I appreciated him more.

>>13737589
I am sorry to hear about your loss, and that is pretty incredible about the smuggling.

I am impressed.

TWO EPIC THREADS IN TWO DAYS, THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU /tg/!!!

>>13737824
/tg/ is by far the best board.

I love you all. Anyone in the Grapevine Mills Mall next weekend on Saturday, around 12pm should hang with me.

It's good to hear you're doing well, SoK. I remember the original thread as one of the most memorable I've ever read on /tg/ or any board, and it's nice to hear from you again. It helps to remind me that your father and all his greatness aren't just part of another cool D&D story, but a part of a real man and his real life and how it affected real people. I'm drinking to you tonight.

Making me tear up bro. Shit, I'm going to get closer to my father while I still can.

>>13737918
>>13737921
Thanks Battle brothers.

Paradise Awaits us all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSOJ8XyqtOQ&feature=fvw

I have just now learned of the glory that is Kromgol, and want to let you know that he shall be forever honored by barbarians and half-orcs in my campaigns.

Glory to Kromgar! Greatest Barbarian there ever was!

Sorry bro, not in your area. Here, have a gift, it's the least I can do.

The Sheets of Kromgol have indeed been archived
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/13731949/
Go forth and vote them up so that they shall not be lost to the internet!

Let me (maybe) be the first to salute you, Moderator.

You are a gentleman and a scholar, Op.

Now it's a sticky? Truly /tg/ has come together as brothers in battle, blood, and beneficence. Glory and honor to all who follow the way of Kromgol, and glory and honor to his memory.

Reading the original thread at the moment, this is looking epic so far. Paradise Awaits playing in the backround.

>>13738053
I salute you.

Mod is an okay guy. As far as mods go, at least.

Oh you're back?
Took you a while.

Everyday a man must ask himself a question. What would kromgol do?

> Well Kromgol was petting this kitty, and they suddenly got into combat. Kromgol, fearing the cat would be hurt (Not realizing it wouldn't actually DIE) refused to put it down. So he fought the entire battle with a cat in his off hand, decapitating his enemies in his main hand.

MANLY TEAR

> Also, later the wizard came back briefly at the end of the campaign, and gave Kromgol a piece of sugar as a treat for helping him. Kromgol tried it and it was too sweet and hurt his teeth, so he cut off his own tongue.
OH GOD HAHAHA

This here is legendary, no less. We need a drawfag now that the original portrait has been provided.

>mfw I also played D and D in 1981
>mfw I had the exact same character sheet as a kid
>mfw I have lost a brother in arms
Kromgol feasts with the Gods now.

rolled 18 = 18

Ahaha wow. This is stickied.

lol

I remember reading the original Kromgol thread on suptg and regretting that I missed it when it was actually on /tg/. I know it's late, but I'm sorry for your loss, OP, and about his brother trying to pull that bs. I've seen the same shit happen to family here too, glad you got that sorted out.

Now, as for Kromgol, I salute him. This whole thing has me re-reading the original thread, and I'll be damned if I'm not tearing up. Sure he's knocking one back wherever he is now.

Awesome.
And someone tell the mod to stop sullying the board with stickies.

>>13737847

OH SHIT BRO
I THINK I KNOW THE PLACE

Are you talking about the GW store or Area 51?

why did mods sticky this? this is old news

>>13738293
Probably because the actual sheet surfaced.

This was fucking weeks and weeks ago... and now, finally, results.

Thank you, OP. I've been awaiting these sheets!!

>>13738293
Probably because the rest of /tg/ is utter shit right now. Maybe as a goal what a /tg/ thread should be.

This is made all the more touching and close to home.

As my name is Greg.

OP delivers.

OP delivers. ;_;

>Eye disease
Fuck it fly planes.
>Surgery
Fuck it, ride a bike.
You can see why the gods had to throw a fucking car at the guy to take him out. They were afraid of what would happen when your dad reached epic levels.

In a land far away
Where the giant eagles play
Lived a orc who survived by his teeth

Neither beautiful nor cunning
He sent his enemies off running
His solution: a weapon with no sheath

As long as his cause had worth
He would fight for heaven and for earth
Even when a feline who lied
In one hand occupied
He would fight
And fight
And win.

>>13737847

I'll see if I can hook up with my fellow fa/tg/uy. Kromgol deserves a wake worthy of kings, and I don't want to disappoint.

Son of Kromgol, I have tonight been moved to tears by your father's tale, drank a glass of wine in his honor, and now bask in glory of the brotherhood you have inspired among us fa/tg/uys.

I have nothing to say but thank you, and I love you.

i shall save this and have him appear as an npc in one of my future campaigns.
maybe will give him a backstory about how his spirit other self died some time back.

To the Son of Kromgol, may his future be full of joy; and to the moderator, may his reign be long and peaceful.

i don't really have anything to contribute. But here's to kromgol-may he sit in valhalla's halls for all eternity.

I'll drink to that.

When does a man die?

When a bullet fired from a pistol pierces his heart...

NO

When he drinks a soup made of deadly poisonous mushroom...

NO

When he's crushed by a run-away SUV?

NO!

A man...dies when he's forgotten. Even if Son of Kromgol disappeared now his dream would still live on.

Do you...do you think it's true for /tg/ as well?

If the will to do it is inherited....yea.

HE HAD!

A MARVELOUS LIFE!

THANK YOU /tg/!

>>13731949
>>13731969

So two thirty year old sheets of paper in mediocre condition still manage to have some pretty crisp pencil lines.

I mean, I have penciled drawings from not even two years ago that have turned into smudgy pieces of shit, but this looks like it was drawn, crumpled up, smudged a bit, and inundated.

Sorry to hear about your dad, but it doesn't take three months to scan a copy of the character sheet that made the first thread famous, no matter what the extenuating circumstances were. Are you trying to say your dad's brother was litigating against you for possession of a character sheet?

I figure this story would fit here.

My dad died of a massive heart attack when I was five...never even got to know him.

My first character, ever, was a Halfling Fighter with a Napoleon complex and a "if it doesn't work, hit it" mentality.

My mother walked in on me and my friends playing in the basement one night and just paused, smiled a bit, and asked if we wanted any snacks from the Tops down the road.

She tolled me later that she just thought me and my friends were getting high down there...which we did every now and then to be honest. Anyway, back on track.

My mom bright me into her room after everyone left and showed me a box full of all of this old D&D papers. Original books and character sheets filled the box, but one caught my eye:

Cord: Human Fighter. Size: 3' 7''.

Under the description it read plain as day:

Napoleon Complex. Very short temper. Doesn't handle puzzles or questions well.


I commented on it and showed my mom my character sheet. She almost cried when she said that her and him used to play together in the same group and that used to be his favorite character. His reasoning was the same as mine: "Nothing is funnier then imagining a rabid midget attacking things ten times its size."

We talked about him for a few hours and we hadn't brought it up since.

Now I live on my own but....yeah...

They say he still wanders in the Northern winter's winds. Righteous are his steps, Merciful is his blade, and Vengeful is his fury.

When you ask the Northman what he fears, he shall say, "A blade in the gullet while I slumber, dishonorable death of old age, and the judgement of Kromgol!"

And when you ask him what he loves, the Northman will cry, "Honeyed beer, the warm bed of a woman, and the guiding hand of Kromgol!"

If you find yourself alone in the winter wastes, when night falls, take shelter and be silent. For it is then that you may hear the wisdom of Kromgol Strong-Arm, Earth-Mover, Honor-Bound.

And you shall wake with the wisdom of the Stone of Ages.

Son of Kromgol, you are a proper player.

Take this brofist, and I hope Kromgol continues to FIGHT ANOTHER DAY!

>alcohol aryoulga
Aryoulga is not alcoholic captcha, stop trying to become a drunk.

>>13738473
A single manly tear. You should have had time to bond with your dad.

Here's to all rabid midgets.

IT HATH BEEN DELIVERED!

May your fathers memory and Kromgol live forever more in the annals of D&D history, Son of Kromgol.

posting in a manly tears thread

>>13738349

I know. My father's name is Greg. And he (in physical appearance only) resembled Kromgol's player.

So I cried like a bitch while reading the first thread.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psp3NQOCfXU

Thread music.

>>13738473

I don't even know what to say to this. Sorry for your loss, but that is very a heartwarming story.

I send you a bro fist and a picture.

>>13738515
>>13738575
Thank you....you know it's funny. Thee kinds of threads always make me wonder what he would think if me today...of the choices I've made...if he'd get along with my girlfriend. Probably a common thing though.

Kromgol.

I never knew him, but then why do i cry?

>>13738558
I'd rather use this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr-R7CQ4Xrs

...or the original Manowar version.

>>13738462
you saying it took him 3 months to 'fake' these character sheets? piss off.

Here's to kromgol, may his eyes never be uncrossed and his blade never thirst.

>>13738624
Or all three.

>>13738619

Because, one day, to our sons and daughters we leave our Kromgols to guide them. One day, that Player Name will have my name on it. And my sons, my daughters, Gods-willing, will look to it and know that I'm still out there, weapons at the ready, waiting until the day they join the halls of our forefathers and lead the merry charge into oblivion.

>>13738624
I am struck to find so many mentions of Manowar in the original thread and this one. Truly this is the level of manly and heroic Kromgol deserves.

I give you... Funeral March:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at18P1x1LOs
...The same song I want played at my own funeral. May I deserve it at least half as much as Kromgol and Travis.


Oh friend of mine, how to say goodbye
This was your time, but the armor you wore
Was mine,
I will not rest until Hector's blood is spilled
His bones will all be broken
Dragged across the field
This, dear friend, is how we'll say goodbye
Until we meet in the sky

I hate to say this, as I am sad for your loss, but either this is a fake character sheet, or your dad was an idiot.

1) We know this is not AD&D 2E because of the lack of THAC0 given on the sheet, so this is just AD&D.
2) See the related picture. You cannot have strength 19 in AD&D. It would be 18/10.
3) A first level fighter rolls a d10 to determine hit points. 31 HP is impossible.
4) "Hit ADJ" is a flat value, not a percentage. See picture, again.
5) AC in AD&D goes DOWN from 10, not up.
There's probably more, but anyone with an old copy of the AD&D player's or DM's guide can confirm this themselves...

(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)

>note
>Friend

Such an amazing character, so straight forward and simple yet so... Developed? In a way, deep. The simple description of "friend", whether it was due to space constraints or otherwise, made me choke back a tear.

The world lost something dear with him, Son of Kromgol, but the wisdom you've gained is priceless.

Also fuck SUVs.

It is the second thread I've ever voted up in the archives in all my years on /tg/.

I wish I could've been here for the original thread without having to have read it on sup/tg/ afterwards. Better late than never though.

Son of Kromgol, this is for you. May his memory never fade and his eyes never align.

Brothers, the original thread is currently ranked 4th in the archives, 30 votes from first position. I trust this matter will be resolved by tomorrow.

The pristine-condition pencilwork combined with the clear lack of coherence with how AD&D works points to this being a fake. I know you guys want to believe it: the story of Kromgol is touching. We've all experienced loss, and emotions cloud our judgement. Just look a little closer: this isn't a real character sheet. How much damage does he do? Why does the table of "adjusted to-hit armor class" not filled out, and in fact, blatantly ignored?

I'm going to play devils advocate here because that original post was respectful to the deceased. I'm a fan of Kromgol as much as anyone, but goddamn you can't buy into everything without proof.

Actually, if you knew anything about AD&D you would know that half orcs got a +1 to both strength and constitution scores. If the die roll for strength was 18, the +1 would make it 19 instead of rolling for percentile strength.

Eat shit newfag.

>>13738906
And I'm going to say: who cares. Call it suspension of disbelief if you like. Believe it's fake and pretend it's true, or don't. Just let everyone have their fun. Don't be That Guy.

>>13738906
Stop it, or we'll tell Victoria that we found out your secret.

On the subject of the writing/drawing being too clear to be this old, I've got shit I wrote when I was like 5 my father saved from 15 years ago and the writing is still crisp, even though the paper is rather beat up and flimsy.

>>13738861
Again, since you've never played AD&D, and certainly not in 1981, you have no idea how incredibly fucked up some games were. Rules were more suggestions or highly debatable points in those days, and you may have gone through 5 character sheets before you actually got one right because filling one out with more than the most basic information back then was like doing taxes and having to itemize deductions and account for accelerated rates of depreciation without the MACRs tables.

>>13738981
>never played AD&D
Actually, my first RPG was AD&D. Played a Wizard, who was roped into a quest where an elf and a dwarf had to deliver a package to another town while their hands were magically bound together. That was our first session.

You may accuse me of forgetting how the game works since I haven't played it in 15-20 years, but don't for an instant think I wasn't a part of it.

>>13738861
What I don't buy is the idea you are the white knight saving /tg/ from...what exaclty?Nevermind, all you are doing is trolling a sticky thread. If this sticky was about some new system release or some grandious piece /tg/ fluff, you'd be here trolling away all the same.

Protip: AD&D and the grognards who played it were notorious for not giving two shits about the rulebook. Hell, I was raised on stories of Kobold mages, player character sylphs, custom-made monogrammed limited edition scimitars, and other bits of insanity that you could never find in the AD&D Player's Handbook.

>>13739184

I played RPGs during the 1980s. There were almost no rules lawyers/optimizers/whatever, and in fact playes often "didnt know how to play the game" in any rule-based way whatsoever. The absence of technical conformance to the official rules of the game and not being interested in filling in every single piece of data actually makes the documents more convincing, not less.

Now I feel like writing my character's adventures. Who knows what I'll leave behind 10+ years from now. I'd love my characters to be one of those things.

Manly tears for your loss, Son of Kromgol.

The squealing 13-year-old fanboy in me wants to write an Ogryn named Kromgol into a Gav story. Not sure how I'd do it without making it horribad.

Raise your god damn tankards, men of valor.
We drink to the memory of Kromgol.

When my father passes, I have promised nothing less or more than a viking funeral. I will bury his ashes upon the the remains of my only sibling. TG lost the original... so this will be my Father's euology... shut up and listen... to Carl Sagan... as for the rest... such are his wishes though his one and only response at an attempt at rpg was juvenile at best. The uniform love of father and son is always felt and poorly expressed. Thank you for sharing yours with tg

DAMNIT

ive been waiting forever for my chance to pay drawfag tribute to kromgol in one of his son's threads, and now that it comes along, its 3:12 in the morning, and i have to get up early tomorrow

>>13731949
The ink ran when water dripped on it did 80's photocopiers do that. I'd expect the pencil led to have faded much more on a 30 yr old character sheet. I have 10yr old Vampire sheets that don't look half this good.

>>13739486
oh fuck my sides...

Nominating /tg/'s change to /kromgol/

I am so full of love right now.

There ARE heroes left in man. ;_;

Whenever a point is scored in soccer, thousands will shout the name of Kromgol.

>>13739527
>>13739530

what the fucking fuck we are totally on the same wavelength here

but you are a bit more creative :(

>>13739530
kromgol was not man

he was something...more

>>13739545
YESSSSSSSSS

>>13739545
oh fuck, i screwed it up
i hit submit, meaning to upload

protomen reference killed by accident button :(

Fixed the glasses

I am a straight edge, but right now I just went and got some of my housemates meed (its strawberry hinted or some wierdness)

Fuck it... TO KROMGOL AND SON OF KROMGOL!

Sheet was printed on an Inkjet and appears to be available for download here http://www.mad-irishman.net/pub_dnd_1e.html#1e_adnd2
It's fake....
A fraud...

>>13739563
Huh, didn't know who the Protomen were.

Never let facts get in the way of a good story.

Freddie can't hear you, he's having a good time~

>>13739565
dont have image to accompany, but "Hope rides with Kromgol" is a good one too.

>>13739575
light up the night.

seriously, why is it any bro or manly tears thread on /tg/ ends with protomen?

>>13739577
>its a fake because ive never seen character sheets like these

seriously, thats what all of these anti kromgol posts are

>>13739589

>Implying "facts" matter in any way to a board that's all about playing make believe

I don't care that it might be fictional. Most epics and inspiring tales are, at least in part.

>>13739630

That's exactly the point I was making.

Captcha: ficya authorized

Oh, yes Captcha. Fick ja definitely authorized.

>>13739577
derp

>my face when people are claiming its fake because the numbers dont work according to the edition played

>my face when idiots on /tg/ think that custom dnd rules are a thing they invented

Haha, oh yeah. You don't mess with Kromgol. He's achieved semi-divine status on /tg/; denying or doubting his existence leads to a visit from a local brand of the spanish inquisition. Although instead of elaborate torture, they punch you in the dick.

Oh god make it stop

>>13739577
Let's try a little reasoning. The link you posted says explicitly that it replicates the old character sheet. Now if I make a character sheet in my word processor that faithfully recreates an old character sheet, does it make the original a fake?

See? You're a troll. Stop being a troll, or Kromgol will slap your shit.

The gods looked down upon the land. In many places it lay in shadow, held under the thrall of gloom and trolls. Yet as they watched, a light began to spread in the darkness. It began as a pinpoint, and then another, and soon a constellation burned against the backdrop of the night. It did not wipe out the darkness, and in many places the shadows attempted to consume the light. Yet no matter how hard it tried, the light burned from one heart to another with a glory that could not be conquered.

And having seen this, the gods looked up. And above them, Kromgol smiled.

>>13739643
definately needs to be a kromgol edit of this picture

>>13739627

MOTHER OF DICK

OP DELIVERED

REJOICE

>>13739390
Brilliant. That is just brilliant...
...and now for some reason, I'm imagining a picture of Kromgol playing a guitar (with a longsword-shaped neck), doing a knee slide in front of a pair of speakers shaped like dice, and with the caption:
>        DICE FALL.
> EVERYONE ROCKS.

...I don't know why, though.

I raise my glass to Kromgol, his son, and the mod/janitor who stickied this thread.

>>13739822
Just a hint: The only thing janitors can do is delete shit.

I'm starting up my first 3.5 game soon for my players. I've been playing with them for a decade. The sword of Kromgol will be the McGuffin for my adventure.

For those who may have strayed from the Way of Kromgol, a reminder:

>NAUGHT BUT SOMETHING TO REST ON, SOMETHING TO START A FIRE, AND A SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION TOOL

>Want no more food than can keep you alive
>Want no more drink than can slake your thirst
>Want no more battle than what confronts you
>Want no more in life than what you are given

>That is the way of Kromgol

Pardon

DUDE WHY DID YOU FUCKING CUM ON THEM WHAT THE FUCK

Now I want to make magic items based off his possessions.

I think.

I think a genuinely charming man who had found true happiness would not wish to be placed on a pedestal as we risk doing here. Read the exploits of Kromgol. They are not commandments of a fickle deity, nor are they iron pillars of faith to which a paladin must abide.

Kromgol isn't the figure you set out on your quest to become. He's the one you're glad you end up as. Not the one screaming his name at the top of the mountain, but the one screaming up the mountain for whoever is about to cause an avalanche to come down and have a drink.

>>13739881
The Hammer of Kromgol: Plain in appearance, this legendary tool will always drive a nail straight and true. No matter how unskilled the user, never once shall they smite their thumb or bend a nail. Tent pegs driving with this hammer will hold against hurricane-force winds, yet slide out of their place with the smallest effort upon removal.

>>13739881
The eye of kromgol (think eye of vecna) - This glass prosthetic, modeled after the real deal by a master artisan and blessed by the twin gods of perception, is enchanted to give whoever wears it 360 degree vision 3 times a day for 1 hour. However, no matter how much it is adjusted or fiddled with in one's eye socket, it will never align with the wearer's regular eye, always seeming to be staring off to the side like an idiot.

The story of Kromgol and his son has made me feel like telling a story too.

Me and my mother haven't really got that much in common, and back when I used to live at home we used to fight allot.

I started getting into Tabletop gaming, comics, computer games and the likes. She would joke that she had 'two sons'. One clear memory I have of my preteen years is of her coming home from a shopping trip I had not wanted to go on, giddily handing me a Backstreetboys CD. I was never really into boy bands, and when I said she could keep it as I wasn't interested she burst into tears. I've only got one other memory of my mother crying and that was many years later when my grandmother died.

Eventually when I hit about 18, I moved out. We started getting along allot better now that we weren't forced to be in each others presence all the time. We've found ways to spend time together than we both enjoy, for instance: She has been to a few LARPS with me, she loves getting to dress up and play social characters. cont.

>>13739995
So anyways, a year or two ago now my mother asked for some of my old dice, I wasn't sure why but I complied. I dug out a few dice I'd stopped using because they'd either rolled one to many 1's or got a character into too much trouble/killed. A few days later she returns to me with this bracelet made out of dice. She bought a few more dice to fill it up, but the really cool thing about it is the things the rest of the bracelet is made of. You see when I was a kid there was this hair bobble I used to wear religiously. It was fluffy and had a few bright little wooden beads in it. It broke after constant use, apparently my mother had kept the little beads, and now here they were on this bracelet.

She's still with us, but this thread makes me want to go spend more time with her. Maybe go look around online at pretty dresses and stuff for larping in, or ask her to find something she thinks would suit one of my new characters.

Thanks SoK, made me think about how precious time right now is, I'm going to go see my folks!

>>13739884
I agree.

He wouldn't want us to be like him. He would want us to be ourselves, living our lives fearlessly by our own principles. Not to repeat his tale among whispered campfires, but to forge legends by our actions.

Who here will rise and become a Kromgol of his own?

the white sections look like possible jizz stains...

I think Kromgol is important for a number of reasons.
First off, his battered, stained character sheet is evocative of the roots of the hobby.No true fatguy can help but be moved by it, i mean look at the date, 1981! As a true grognard, that's around the time I, myself, began exploring fantasy worlds in games.And Kromgol's atitude towards the hobby is worthy of emulation. he played a simple, no frills fighter.No multiclassing, no spells, just hit with sword and roleplay. And was he any the less for this? No, in fact he is iconic.
Second, his son is honoring him in a way that is truly heroic and epic, and that is something that many of us, perhaps, are wistful and envious of. Let me be the first to go out on a limbs and say that my father was not as supportive of my imaginative pursuits and "strangeness" as Kromgol was of his son.
And third, it's a reality check. The people that indulge in this hobby, despite their flights of fantasy, are real, mortal human beings. their lives end and it casts a light on how fleeting, temporary, and precious the human experience can be. he didn't even die of old age, in fact I'd wager that Kromgol was probably not much older than me (40), and simply rolled a bad "save vs traffic" check.
One day, you will die, and when you do, you should be so lucky as to have an offspring worthy of your legacy like the Son of Kromgol.thank you for sharing, and reminding us that our hobby, though young compared to some, still has a rich tapestry of human experience behind it.
I was at a bar tonight with friends, and at one point I made a toast to kromgol. Many of them did not understand, but my one friend who had shared gaming with me did, and we drank to his memory.And , ulitimately, to the memory of us all.

Never seen a character sheet that old, that's really cool, and read your post, really cool, man.

Thank you for this. I've been feeling frustrated at my life for a while now, and this just puts it all in perspective. I'm... I'm gonna give my dad a ring.

>>13739957 Kromgol's Underwear: This pair of underwear was once worn by Kromgol, stains of his half-orc man juice still exist in splotches. When worn it allows the player a +2 on any action rolls that could be considered manly.

>MFW Kromgol thread has been stickied.

Here's to Kromgol; a man who wanted to hit things with his weapon and roleplay. Truly, an inspiration and model to us all.

Did you jizz on the character sheet?

Why did this get stickied before it even needed too?

Elf Paladin reporting,

You have my condolences OP, I can do little to ease your pain but know that for what it's worth I'll be doing the following to keep your father's memory alive in the pastime he loved-

1. In every game I run there will be an half-orc NPC of some importance named Kromgol. If the setting doesn't have orcs, fuck off, Kromgol makes his own god damn rules.

2. Fit the great hero Kromgol into my Orc warrior's backstory in that one game blizzard makes.

>>13739716
HEY

HEY GUYS

LISTEN, I'VE GOT THIS CRAZY IDEA

It was first edition AD&D. I'm basing my crazy idea on the fact that 2E didn't come out until 1989.

*opens setting notes*
*inserts legend of Kromgol as a mighty warrior of old who was crossed by his dearest friend, Melor*

To be expanded upon later, of course.

TO KROMGOL!

PEOPLE Calm down, respect Kromgol in all his glory and don't let the shitty troll derail this great thread with his psuedo-edition wars bullshit, SoK you have my respect and I am truly sorry such a great man has left us..despite the fact that hes in whatever afterlife is badass enough for him and his brobarian ways.

>mfw after a shitty morning, finding Kromgol's charsheet. Stickied, no less

>>13741069
*and I should add, THAC0 was introduced in 2nd Edition, 1st had combat tables.

I'm running a 1st ed greyhawk game currently, Kromgol shall live on, im already brewing up ideas for him to be an epic npc

Sorry to hear of your loss OP

As others have said: Surely he is in the realm of Gods seducing wenches and drinking ale.

I raise my glass to him and his memory.

Kromgol is a saint-god in my setting since his first mention on /tg/. I would have never thought SoK would really deliver. He did.

This is a great day, /tg/.

>>13741253
Let me get this straight: knowing Kromgol, you excepted his direct descendant to not deliver?

Are we talking about the same Kromgol here?

>mfw this thread is stickied

Man, I never straight-up cry in b'aww threads. But I read the original Kromgol thread.

And for some reason, it started raining in my bedroom.

I think I'm in love with our new mod/janitor, guys.

>>13741514
FUCK YES

I'm writing a new setting for my DnD group, I think I'll write Kromgol as the god of being a badass if that's cool with you

You might have to deal with the loss of your father, but you never had to deal with the loss of our support, or the loss of your love for him.

May Kromgol live in the Halls of Heroes for eternity.

We will fight with you until there is no blood left in our veins, brother.

>>13732172
when my dad died, his mother and sisters stole everything he had, and tried to ransom it off to me. even though they sold everything before they even spoke to me. and didnt tell he was dead and buried for a month.

good job holding the hyenas off SK.

I hope I'll be like Kromgol one day...

Oh crap it got stickied

Glory to Kromgol.

What is this devilry? Nothing about Kromgol is sticky, everything is smashy!

Kromgol is going to be an NPC in the campaign I'm running now -- I like the "barbarian buddha" idea posted in the old archived threat. I wish I was more like your dad - it's a shame to suffer such a loss. I feel for you, man.

Glory to Kromgol.

Tonight, we enter the caves of a dragon.
Tonight, I shall slay a dragon for Kromgol.

Kromgol and son, You will be our treasured meme. /tg/ is flooded with mantears again today.

Hail the fallen.
Hail the glorious dead.

>>13742206
This is not a sticky. Kromgol defies gravity by sheer stubbornness.

>>13738981
>>13731949
When I first played second edition DnD I played a druid centaur that dual wielded bastard swords and wore full plate. Also on account of his horse legs got an extra 2 attacks at 1d6 per hove every turn on top of his two bastard sword attacks for which I took no penalty. We had to many younger players to grasp the concept of thaco (myself included) so we came up if a percent chance you block that was raised with every armor up grade.

You wanna find some flaws in that character? You want to make a list of the basic rules it broke? Go right ahead but it doesn't make him any less real then KROMGOL.


trolls and their >ammorm logic

>>13738816
Looks like I was right. The original thread is now officially /tg/'s favorite thread of all time. Son of Kromgol, I hope you are proud, for you have reason to be.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

>>13742543
Pretty impressive to overcome the banning of that insufferable faggot Jim Profit by moot himself in a time without mods on /tg/.

OP I live in 940 area, which is 10 minutes from Grapevine mall!

But alas, I have no 40k stuff or even know how to play =/

From the Dwarven Fighter,

May your father Kromgol be brought to Moradin in loving arms so his soul may be reforged into a dragon. All Hail The Victorious Dead.
May you find peace, son of Kromgol.

Kromgol, we salute you. (and by salute we mean getting drunk)

>>13742657
> MFW dragons are born from the souls of legendary warriors.

FUND IT!

Shit, son. I thought I'd huddle in my bunk for the day and wait for a better one, but by Kromgol, I couldn't pass on this one afterall. So I waded 5 kilometers a way to the nearest store in this blizzard, just to get myself a case of beer and half a kilo of BBQ pork ribs, for a little adverse weather and a pre-existing hangover shan't keep a good man from toasting to Kromgol.

So, son, you decide what you'll be when you grow up yet?

What a brilliant find this was, congratulations on this OP.

Kromgolism is our new religion. Kromgol is our God, /tg/ is our chapel. Who else wishes to join the Church of Kromgol?

From the /g/entoomen we offer are consolendences, Kromgol sounded like an awesome man and may he live on in the memory of /tg/.

>>13742892
What are our tenets? I propose "don't be a dick", "solve problems by hitting them", and "if someone is being a dick, solve by tenet 2".

Why the fuck is this a sticky? We never get any stickies for actual content or projects, but we get a sticky for a ratty old character sheet?

This guy is a problem.

I shall fight through the underworld, and not find it there.
I shall fight and batter the very gates of hell, through fire and brimestone, I still prevail. There is no soul with that name in here.
With demonic hordes, I climbed through the stellar ladders and demanded entrance just to see Kromgol, he if someone deserves such. Nay, all of three in utter ruin but our hero is nowhere to be found.

I hear a familiar roar, smell of good beer, I notice Kromgol smiling in his own world, where he can enjoy afterlife for all eternenity, as any good warrior would.

Glory to Kromgol! May his strength forever be a beacon of hope for the oppressed, and may his wrath forever strike fear into the hearts of the wicked!

KROMGOL!

Morgoths mortal shell faded away, he take his place amongst powers of balance and good.

It is a close of many thing, but new destinies stretches endlessly before him, there are greater evils to fight and sights amongst planes, you never thought possible.

In years to come, Kromgols name will be a beacon in times of darkness, tales of his life shall inspire and servants of darkness will free your wrath.

It is a legacy, that forever changed the faces of the realms.

>>13743151
You already got warned, faggot. SUFFER THE WRATH OF KROMGOL. ALL SHALL BOW BEFORE HIM.

Except you, you should kneel. You got a pretty mouth.

You fail at counter insults, reading comperhension and common sense. Where you see 40K?

By the glory of Kromgol, stop being a faggot!

>>13743033
*giggles* Almost.

>>13742979
But what should the Followers of Kromgol call ourselves? Believers in Christ are Christians, so are we Kromgolians? Kromgolites?

And how!

Hah, he deleted his posts

>>13743224
NAY, WE ARE THE KROMGOLS, FOR THROUGH HIS GLORY WE ALL BECOME MEN AND GODS.

>>13743224

Sons of Kromgol, as he is higher power now he accepts any wayward warriors sons to the fray to be accepted, this religion is lead by the true sun of Kromgol.

If we can't solve it. We bash it. Do we have our sculpting tools ready?

Profit.

Isn't it nice, /tg/?

That a part of everyday life - the death of a parent being a trial every man will, if not hopefully, then at least propably, will encounter - can bring out such willful happiness in the people of a group with little personal attachment to the event itself? The man behind Kromgol has passed away, and his son is here to tell of it again, and as trivial his goodness may seem in terms of his achievements, we collectively adopt him as our father in spirit for nothing but his positive outlook on life, and those hobbies of his that link him to us.

Dear ca/tg/irls and fa/tg/uys, in the name of Kromgol, let us be excellent to eachother.

No homo.

There's nothing I can say which hasn't been said already, or in a much more grandiloquent and inspiring manner, or that could even begin to do this epic thread justice, so let me just say this:

Kromgol is the definition of awesome and this thread reminded me of everything that's good about /tg/. Moments where you can really hold something dear to your heart simply because of power and emotion it radiates are too rare,

Pity Son ain't around, so I have to ask for /tg/'s opinion on this. What is Kromgol's divine anthem? Don't stop me now, or something else? Because I'm running out of beer, and I feel like braving the blizzard and heading to the pub. And you know what?

They have public karaoke. I am going to preach the name of Kromgol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiTw2e2TfUk

This is how I see Kromgol. Barbarian Buddha. Except green.

Cheers to the Son of Kromgol, His father and all the Kromgolians here

The young Orcish Warchief had just been lectured by the tribe Shaman about the story of Kromgol the Great. At first, he couldn't believe his ears: "What? A half-human, born of impure blood, the mightiest of the children of Gruumsh?"

Still, by the end of the Shaman's story, and by the beginning of the planned raid against the nearby Elven Settlement, he found himself at the head of the troops, screaming at the top of his lungs:

"FOR BLOOD"
"FOR GLORY"
"FOR BATTLE"
"FOR KROMGOL"

>>13743675

*manly tear*

No homo, dude, no homo.

>>13743807
"Don't stop me now" is good.
Son Kromgol himself recommended It.
You're seriously going to to do that, though?

Not even the mightiest of X-Com's veterans could hold a match to Kromgol. Forever shall he be remembered in this Commander's heart.

I shall name my next base after him, and it shall pave the way for a new, brighter future.

The Dwarves of the Stoneheart Clan will pray for Kromgol

I have just posted a news article publicizing the Son of Kromgol phenomenon on the gaming site I write for. Link incoming when it passes editing.

>>13743997
In fact. I shall one-up myself. The first extra terrestrial planet I settle shall be named Kromgol, in his honor!

>>13744028
Awaiting this avidly. Although it may be better to say this after reading it, you rock, anon.

>>13744042
It's not much, as it's not really a /tg/ site thus I had to dumb it down and lay off the jargon/in-jokes a lot, but I really just want people to read the thread.

Goodness, it's like looking at the Dead Sea Scrolls...

Praise be to Kromgol!

Fa/tg/uys, one day some of us shall have children. Hell, probably a few do.

Tell me fa/tg/uy, shall you pass down your first character? Shall you follow Kromgol?

I know I have my first character sheet tucked away safely.

I've already had my half-orc paladin exclaim, in-game, "by the wall-eyes of Kromgol!"

The party didn't get it until I explained the thread.

And then, manly tears.

>>13743715
pfffahahahahahahaha

i laughed at that harder than i should have.

>Why the fuck is this a sticky? We never get any stickies for actual content or projects, but we get a sticky for a ratty old character sheet?

>(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)

This is the second-best thread I have ever come across on /tg/. You know which one the first is.

I just read the entire Archive. Omg.... So many Manly tears. I love you all /tg/, there is no real way I can express how I feel about you all....

Hey, Kromgol is funny and all but I would just like to give my support to OP after losing his father.

He seems like he was a good man, and as many of us could imagine... being a good man is one of the hardest things to be now a days. He earns my respect op, and as such even if I didn't know him I will miss him.

I'll see him when I get where we're all going. >=)

>>13732172

I don't understand. Doesn't the king's son always get the crown, not his brother?

i've got throat ulcers, and i'm not even supposed to be drinking soda.
but fuck it, i'm pouring one out for Kromgol.

A moment of silence honoring the noble Kromgol.

I know I have my first character sheet, a cleric named Maria, tucked away safely.

>>13744422
Fucking GLORIOUS!

I will put this as my desktop background on my netbook and never mention who the drawing is. The only people who will truly understand it are the ones who know the legend that is Kromgol.

>He was on his motorcycle, he didn't stand a chance.

As a motorcycle rider myself, my respects go out to your father.

>>13744569
You can do it only if you hold a kitty and cross your eyes, while drinking.

O god, I laughed when I saw the cat's eyes.

What the fuck is wrong with people? What happened to loyalty to the family? Shit, America really has become a shithole when you can't even trust your aunts, uncles and grandparents.

It's not rape. Tavern wenches would kill to get some of Kromgol's cross-eyed lovin'.

>>13744893

for kromgol's sake

I have been waiting for these scans since the original thread! /tg/ will never forget Kromgol.

> I'll play my Orks and all will be well
But I think they should be refluffed into half-orks. The mightiest half-orks ever to smash up a GW!

>>13744893
Shit like this has always happened. Back in the 80s, nearly all of my grandfather's belongings were thrown away by his children just for some extra space while my dad was away in the marines. He only found some of my grandfather's old military stuff from WWII stashed away where everyone had forgotten about it.

Culture may change, but people have always been evil.

And people have also always been beautiful. Like the legacy of Kromgol and his son.

>>13744943
But I'm raging for Kromgol's sake. His estranged brother is being a dick and trying to steal from Kromgol's sons.

>>13745107
But that is not what Kromgol would want. Kromgol would want you to get your greatsword and swing at the problem. Arguing is for diplomats and wizards!

I remember when you first told us of your father, Son of Kromgol. Thank you for sharing the sheet.

Why is the story of Kromgol so moving? Is it because he was an older fa/tg/uy who passed? Nay. Was it because he played a heroic, flawed and well thought out character? Nay. It is because his tale, the tale of the man who played when DnD was in it's infancy, a half-orc with a pet cat and a thief for a friend is now passed on down to us, by his son. Martial glory, love of gaming and filial piety come together to create a truly great story.

Really, I don't see why this had to be stickied, nor why people are being banned/warned for not sucking off the OP. It seems like an abuse of power to randomly sticky threads you like and ban people who disagree with you.

(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)

>>13745216
You either have no heart or no brain. Possibly both.

>>13745216

I understand your point, but you have to be one cold hearted mother fucker (even for 4chan) to not appreciate this story and that amazing character sheet.

There are heroes left in /tg/, I laughed and cried. Good on you OP, good on you anons.
>>MFW

I feel like I'm a part of something special. I didn't even do anything. Shame.

Tonight, I'm going to smoke out my bro when he gets off work and preach the word.

FOR KROMGOL!

Kromgol's cat is definitely going to be a unique artifact in any future DnD games I play. It will be used as an offhand item and will increase the number of attacks the player has a round by 1 and increase the players strength by 2. If the player ever puts the kitty down, it will run away and look for another owner that cared for it as much as its original.

/tg/ has a longer memory than it sometimes seems. Know well that Kromgol shall live in the hearts of many an elegan/tg/entleman and ca/tg/girl for much time to come.

Two years ago I concluded a series of silly threads about a lich that brought great merriment and adoration. But that pales in comparison to the brotherhood and unity that Kromgol has brought to /tg/ through such a universal tale.

Though few probably remember me, I give to you all internets that I received throughout the course of my drawfagging as well as this humble image. I was in need of a noble orc chieftain in my current campaign, and so I will bring the legend and memory of Kromgol with me to give to my group.

He will always live in our hearts, Son of Kromgol.

>>13745621
Drew, you allignment-less bony motherfucker. I remember you. And I salute you.

>>13745621
>Kromgol the Half-Orc
>So badass full orcs accept him as their chieftain

Appropriate, as long as you don't just have him sit around.

>>13745216
>please ban me , i am a huge faggot

>>13745881
nope, you gotta suffer

The return of Kromgol? Huzzah!

Mourning will recommence now.

I made a youtube playlist of all the Kromgol music linked in this thread, because I am too laze to re-up everything to a new Kromgol channel.

Someone should totally do that, though.

I wept, and though I am a woman, my tears were manly.

I will drink to Kromgol's memory. May he live on in our hearts!

>>13731949
I'm very sorry for your loss, OP. Thank you for sharing your father's character sheet with us. I keep a close friend who passed away's Vampire character sheet. It's nice to have something to remember him by.

What were the choices that you said you had to make? Will you take up Kromgol's weapon as Son of Kromgol?

This thread.

I should be studying for my midterm, but godammit I don't care. Both you and Kromgol are gods among men.

Hail Kromgol, the victorious derpy eyed dead! His needs were simple and his muscles plentiful.

IN HONOR OF THE GLORIOUS DEAD!

>>13731949
this is proof that /tg/ has a soul.

god I love this board. manly tears, sir... manly tears.

>>13737847

Dude no way! I have cried manly tears, and just being within a few miles of such a legend has brought me to my knees.

FOR KROMGOL!

I always want to come here to share my stories of manly tales yet they feel so childish compare the tales you spin, /tg/.

Fuck I love you guys.

I just want you guys to know that I am coding a roguelike right now.
And I just added a bunch of stuff about Kromgol in it, those who are worthy of him will receive his blessings
Manly tears

>>13746542
don't forget his trusty companion, melor

It is said that before each battle, the Icewalker tribe slays a wizard on the altar of Kromgol, to gain the favour of the idiot god.

Son of Kromgol, I remember your original thread. Thank you very much for bringing us the character sheets. I salute you, and your father. I hope you enjoy the picture; like all good followers of Kromgol, I am a warrior, not an artisan.

I salute you, Son of Kromgol.

May you live long and prosper.

I am now slamming down a handful of beers in memory of a great man. It's cheap piss-water beer, but it's plentiful and goddammit, it would've been good enough for Kromgol. So it's good enough for me.

To the unquenchable fire that burns in our breasts, valian/tg/entlemen! May we all pass on such legacies of wisdom, honor, and love and Kromgol!

>>13746561
thanks for making me remember this
hopefully this will get archived so I can look at it later and get more ideas, as I already stopped coding
I hope some of you guys will play it and remember Kromgor when you see it.

>>13746640
You kidding? It's Kromgol. It was archived almost as soon as it showed up.

On the next census, I'm listing my religion as
"Kromgology"

I don't game. I came here out of curiosity because it was mentioned in /co/.
Manly tears were shed.
Now I want to game really badly.

(Captcha: for MDonst. No, captcha, FOR KROMGOL!)
I'm about to light a cig in his honour.

>>13746709

Well met, /co/mrade. A toast to Kromgol!

Hail Kromgol!

I have been waiting for this moment for my whole life.

Thank you OP. It's like looking at... the Shroud of Turin or something, except better.

OP, let it be known that /tg/ grieves for your father greatly.

I can't think of anything else to say that hasn't been said yet.

>>13747284
How does a sticky of his awesomeness sound?

Kromgol WILL feature prominently in all of my campaigns as a man ascended, not a god nor an angel. But a man who lived.

"The half-orcs sit in reverence around a statue of great male, with eyes looking in both direction. He holds a longsword and little else."
"I ask our translator if I can join the prayer circle"
"He says, They do not pray"
"Wait, what?"
"One doesn't pray to a man. Kromgol was Kromgol. A half-orc born of little, who did much. His was the sword that culled his foes and saved his friends. He ate little, possessed little, and lived by his own hand. We do not pray to Kromgol: We remember him"
"But he was just a man! Why bother with a dead hero?"
"Even Death could not conquer Kromgol, for it is said that he had a son... and his and his blood shall be the sword that guides us. We remember, and wait..."

Holy shit, I come to /tg/ and see this thread after I just got back from the hospital. My sister gave birth to the first baby in our family and it is the manliest motherfucking baby ever. Besides it having back and chest hair already and being named Kunan, it was power gripping my finger, when I held it, and didn't cry once for the 8 hours I spent there. I don't know if my body can handle such scales of manliness from this thread and what's happened today.

And yes, I'm going to make sure he gets the nickname Conan no matter what.

>>13747835
>And yes, I'm going to make sure he gets the nickname Conan no matter what.

Fuck. Yes.

>>13747835
/tg/, who is the best uncle in the world?

OP I'm writing Kromgol into my next campaign

I'm posting before I read the thread but I just wanted to thank you OP manly tears and such. I'm so glad you posted this and I'm sorry about your father :(

Even if this story isnt true I have started making Kromgol references in my game sessions and to my nerdy friends... so there's is that.

In athens, greece, it is 5:25 am right now.
A ridden of all hope guy sits on his pc,and thinks of going to sleep.
he has been socially outcasted by many for his hobbies on rpgs and tabletops.
He has been scolded for day-dreaming at school,and now at work.
He has been called "manchild" for dreaming of living into another world, of valor, of honor, of fights, of conquest, of pride, of magic and fantasy.
He comes across this thread, and through it, the original thread.
He forsakes his sleeping. He reads it all, like a holy script. He sheds a manly tear. He makes sure to carve into his memory all about Kromgol and his Son, and all the praising other people say about them.
He lights a cigarette and falls in deep thoughts.
"It will be harder to find new people to play now that we have grown up. And for sure,i will be mocked again for getting into these games again. My mother will call me a good-for-nothing. My cousins will laugh. Oh,i forgot...she said she wont go out with my anymore if i am wasting my time, instead of being with her all the time...heh, i guess that's how it goes..."
He closes his eyes, as he exhales the smoke, before putting off his cigarette. He leans over, and grabs a notebook, and a pencil. He writes the first line.
"...many years have passes, but the legend of Kromgol the Brave is still being told around bonfires..."

>>13748110
passsed*
sorry,its late as i mentioned.

>>13747835

I predict the power of Kromgol has blessed Kunan, who shall someday wander this post-apocalyptic earth slaying evil after the coming of the great changes...

...with a kitty.

I hope Greg smiles at this thread.

Son,

I am proud.

>>13747835
THE CYCLE IS COOOOMPLEEEEEETE!!!!!!!

Praised be to the Son of Kromgol. Godspeed to Kromgol.

It just happened.

>MFW Kromgul's glory shall spread to a far greater distance than the reaches of /tg/

>>13748435
...the fuck?

>>13748604
I wrote an article about Kromgol for a gaming site.

>>13748264
EEEEEEEET'S DAH CIR-CULLLLL

THE CIR-CULL OF LIIIIIIIIIIIFE!

>>13748646

Stop shitting all over Kromgol, tripfag. Just shut up and go to some other thread for your attention fix.

>>13748679

>tripfag

...

>>13731949

I'm here from the far country of México to pay my respects to your father, to night, I rise my glass in his memory for all we Dungeon Crawlers are brothers and Your loss is a tragedy we share an moan.

>>13748435

>>13748154
Now I want to take pictures of the rebirth of Greg/Kromgol but I don't want to derail the thread or camwhore my nephew. Kromgol wouldn't wish it.

Godspeed to your father Son of Kromgol and know that you and your father are true men.

>>13748110

Kromgol is now our new mascot.

I'll be adding Kromgol to the list of dieties available in my campaigns from now on. Thanks, man, I shed a tear.

Long live Kromgol.

>>13748882
I'm against this. Not because I don't think he deserves it but because I don't want to see Kromgol get used for trolling or have his name sullied. OP has told us of a wonderful man and pristine character. Let's keep it at that. Now let's have our own introspection of this thread, until the thread 404's, and wait for the next amazing tale to take place on this wonderful board named /tg/. After all, isn't the true mascot of /tg/ STORYTIEM?

I raise my mug of coffee to you Kromgol and Son of Kromgol.

I salute you, son of Kromgol. I salute your father.
The world is lessened for his loss.
May he never be forgotten.

I just come back from by ban and I find this?
>read archived thread
I'm crying.
I don't know if I should hate the mods for making me miss this when it happened or wether I should love it and simply feel shamed I broke the rules, missing this loving story in the first place.

>>13748839
How else should we react?
Wait, the original is from october? Wow. I'm no longer blaming myself. Thank the Higher Powers for letting me return in time for this.

Hail Kromgol, Smasher of Things, Lover of Cats,
may is blade stay sharp and hid tankard full!

Hail to the Son of Kromgol, may he carry on his glorious spirit!

Hail to the glorious dead and
Hail to those who still Live!

Can Dorfs worship Kromgol too? Because my Dorf, Brofist Thunderhammer, will become his paladin.

Damn. Kromgol was pretty hardcore.
All hail Kromgol.

I fucking love my dad. I'm going to text him right now.

He played D&D, my aunt played it, my uncle played it, I play it... so much to tell. But another time. Good thread, people. Good thread.

Hey, what was your father's favorite drink?

>>so much warhammer in the last few months
>>mods sticky a piece of d&d history

I am pleased.

I thought I might contribute my skills,
I know it's not much but I know what it's like to lose a loved one that you haven't really connected with.

My grandfather died from a heart attack,
my uncle, tried and somewhat was successful in getting what he wanted. My grandmother now looks after him, at least she surrounded with some of their stuff.
My uncle has sold a fair abit of her stuff, claiming its either for more space or for money to feed her.

I wasn't as close to my grandfather as my sisters were, and I regret it.

I am sorry for your loss.
May his sword stay sharp.

>>13731949
>Date Character Began: December 9, 1981

... you are now aware that Kromgol is older than most of /tg/'s regular viewers.

>>13750194
December 9, 2011 maybe

>>13750266

Will you leave it alone already?

This is why you don't get invited to parties, man.
You're too much of a downer.

>>13750266
Why you gotta be a bitch?

>Mfw when I realize what I am missing, now that I recall that most of my family is dead, and my father being a ego-centric extremely religious cunt that doesn't give two fucks about anyone else

What do I have to pay to get reincarnated or reroll my life as son of kromgol?

>>13750266

Silly, sad troll, today is 2 Feb 2011.

[spoiler]So you're saying this comes from THE FUTURE![/spoiler]

>>13745621
>>13743902
And why is one born of two races so beloved by Orcs, who normally loathe such beings to the point of either casting them aside like trash, or just outright killing them for the sin of not being pureblood Orc? What is it, that elevated Kromgol beyond being just another mixed-blood bastard?

I don't know. Do you?

>>13750328

>[spoiler]So you're saying this comes from THE FUTURE![/spoiler]
>[spoiler][/spoiler]
>[spoiler]

This is /tg/ bro.

But yes, sad troll is sad.

40kfag here.

I read the thread. I even went and read the old thread.

Wow. I'm honored that you would share this with us, SoK.

Know that my Imperial Guard regiment will set aside a day to venerate St. Kromgol.

>>13750359

capcha ate my image.

>mff

>>13750328
Kromgol is so manly he kicked so much ass in the past he went to the future!

I just started school last week. I'm usually a regular fa/tg/uy, but I've just been too busy lately to check the boards.

Visited today and saw this thread. I've lost three family members in the past two years. My thoughts are with you, Son of Kromgol.

In the time between the appearance of the first thread and the appearance of the second thread, I have acquired...

A Large Beard
A Loving Cat
Optimism For My Future

...in all of these, I am sure some measure of Kromgol's greatness is responsible.

>>13750359
Ha, didn't know spoilers didn't work over here. I'm usually lurking /co/.

I PROPOSE A REAL LIFE QUEST

A QUEST FOR MELOR

Seriously. Let's find out whoever played Melor, hand him the sheet and take a picture of him holding a cat.
