Troll Lord Games

Goodman Games newest release (the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG) gives a shout-out to the troll lords in two places. 1) In the monsters section is a truly hilarious parody monster called the troll lord. 2) Under reccommended reading, they list the (sadly out-of-print) TLG "Book of Names" as a source fo...

Interesting demonstration of what it is like to try fighting while wearing full plate mail. (Might inform your gaming a bit)

Sounds like it will be at least worth a look-see.

The PDF I bought is titled "CKG_03.03.05". Since it didn't come out in 2005, I am going to assume that this means it is the third version of the PDF. I might be wrong. The first part of the book has the most crunch in it, IMO.

Options, options, options.

After reading through the CKG for the first time today, I am ditching the Vancian magic rules. I am going with the alternate Mana Points system on Pg. 48. Vancian magic never did make sense to me. After you spend all that time studying your spellbook, how could the information just vanish out of you...

Regarding the New Aenochia map: Nice work, Peter B! (Would a map scale be too much to ask for?)

Got my CKG and the Umbrage Saga at DTRPG today. Can someone cast a level 20 "Dispel Confusion" for me?

Next week, Mr. Mearls plans to annouce that he has discovered this nifty new gadget he calls...the wheel.

OK--"Aura of Courage" answered my question. Thanks.

Coolness factor aside, why play the only class which can be turned by an evil cleric. You can have all the power in the world, and it won't do you any good if you can't make use of it.

I did a search for this topic, and nothing came back. (Excuse me if it has been asked before.)

If evil clerics can turn paladins, why would anybody play a paladin? A muticlass fighter/cleric would have more abilities, fewer alignment problems, and couldn't be turned.

So, the short answer is: yes.

Prod softly, Gideon. You know how trolls are first thing in the morning. LOL

CKG not in the Value pack. D'oh! RTFM

Module C2 "Shades of Mist" makes mention of a follow-up module called C3 "Upon Green Hills Rising". To my knowledge, this module was never released. What happened?

...soon to be in my hot little hands. I ordered the C&C value pack yesterday!

I've looked at a few of the Arcana supplements. MEH. The "How to" series is strictly for people who have never GM'd before.

That seems to be the general consensus. G4 says the game feels like they just phoned it in.

I hate pretentious people.

Reading up on Dionysus today, and the author listed his holy symbol as the Thyrsus. Now, I'm no slouch in the vocabulary department, but even I had to look this one up.

WTH didn't he just say "A staff with a pine cone on top of it"?

Where can I purchase these miniature trolls of which you speak? :p

I got on Tullis about this too. Fat Dragon games posted that they were having a miniature terrain sale. I felt obliged to point out that the terrain was, in fact, normal size.

Guiness Stout, no doubt.

Wow. Enough with the beans already: 100,000 drum fish were found dead in the Arkansas river.

Thousands of red-winged blackbirds fell dead in Arkansas the other day. OK, who's been feeding beans to the Trolls again?

This is a replacement for the old forums "Shoutbox" feature. Feel free to let your mind wander. Just be careful....it's far too small to be out on its' own.

Really? A lot of the Tome of Horrors monsters are already in PF Bestiary I and II. Still, more monsters is never a bad thing. (Well, for me, anyway....)

Don't forget. One of the characters on "Rugrats" was named "Dil Pickles". It's not just us.

@coleston: Sunnyland. (Between Washington and Peoria) We're almost neighbors!

I don't believe it. C & C books on a store shelf at my FLGS. Here in Central Illinois.

Drag Queens *ahem* "Gender Illusionists" are also a good source of punny names: Anita Mann, Virginia Hamm, etc....

Some of my favorite character names are: Sal Monella, Hal Atosis, etc....

Right now, I'm reading Pathfinder Bestiary 2. I cringed when I saw the Dhampyr (half-vampire). The first person who requests a Mwangi/Dhampyr Ranger with undead as a favored enemy is getting pimp-slapped. (Blade) :evil: The second pimp-slap is reserved for the person who requests a sylph sorceress w...

MERP has been out of print since the mid-90's. "He who must not be named" yanked the license from ICE when they declared bankruptcy. The company re-formed, but the other party would not re-issue the license.
