Career

Stephen Chenault and his brother Davis Chenault wanted to publish a 300-page leather bound campaign setting.[1]:378 When Stephen learned that Mac Golden was thinking of publishing a gaming magazine called The Seeker, they formed Troll Lord Games with Davis Chenault and published a set of "universal" adventures, and they prepared three of them for Gen Con 33: After Winter's Dark (2000), a 24-page book describing the campaign setting of Erde; The Mortality of Green (2000), an Erde adventure; Vakhund: Into the Unknown (2000), an adventure for the campaign setting of Inzae and also the first part of a trilogy.[1]:378 Stephen Chenault authored A Lion in the Ropes (2001), a d20 mystery and the first d20 adventure from Troll Lord Games.[1]:378 The Chenaults also published their campaign setting, in the Codex of Erde (2001), although it was not quite 200 pages and not leather-bound.[1]:378 Gary Gygax wrote to the Chenaults to thank them for their gift of Troll Lord's first RPG supplements at Gen Con 33, and their conversation eventually led to Gygax offering to write books for Troll Lord.[1]:378 When Troll Lord Games published their Castles & Crusades role-playing game, the Chenaults reprinted some of their classics, such as I1: Vakhund: Into the Unknown (2006).[1]:379 When Gary Gygax died in 2008, Troll Lord Games lost the licenses to all of his works, but the Chenaults continue to remember his legacy and his part in the success of their company with a memorial on their main web page.[1]:382
