Troll Lord Games

For those of you who have converted the Hackmaster Monster to C&C did you recalculate the XP or did you just take it from the Hacklopedia?

I live in Walpole MASS and I am looking to either run a game of C&C or get into one.

Is there anyone near Walpole Mass available?

Thanks

Todd

Oh....

....Thanks

<t>These forums need a players wanted section or a place where people can try to find other gamers. <br/> <br/> My group has not been enlightened enough to grasp C&C and still clings to D20 3.x (which I refuse to call D&D).<br/> <br/> I am looking for players - I live in Walpole MASS (which ...

Ouch that is a long time!!!!!

<t>This reminds me of the Old Dungeons and Dragons game where Elf was a fighter/magic user - able to cast spells, wear light armor and fight with swords n'stuff.<br/> <br/> If that were the case then I would say that the Elf (if were by default a class/race combo) would have primes of Dex and Int. <...

Is there a release date for the Castle Keeper's Guide?

Thanks

Thanks Omote!!

I knew it was a tough question to answer - what I hoped for was some cool discussions. I may have gone about it in the wrong way but any discourse is good in my opinion.

<t>My problem is that I tend to make huge dungeons that take upwards of 10+ game sessions to complete.<br/> <br/> In college I ran a huge dungeon (not my biggest) that took most of Sophmore year to run - took the PC's from 1st through 6th level (could have been higher level but I don't pull punches ...

<t>Before I get to my question - a bit of background.<br/> <br/> I am a dungeon fanatic - I love designing and runnig PC's through dungeons as well as taking my own PC through one (provided it done well). Though I wish I still had it - I once had designed a 300+ room dungeon (about 12 levels if I re...

How do y'all handle the fact that in AD&D Cleric and Druid spells only go up to 7th level and in C&C they go all the way to 9th?

Just curious

<t>This is the coolest news - because...<br/> <br/> AD&D 1st & 2nd Edition = Hackmaster (with some tweaks) = C&C which is just about the coolest thing ever.<br/> <br/> What does one end up with - a super cool (flexable and easy) rule system (the SIEGE Engine) with Hackmaster attitude!!!!...

I sent Grey Elf a PM about this but what about Magic Items and Spells - I think just a swap in would be fine - any thoughts?

Thanks Dude - you are most helpful.

I am a true convert to C&C but I happen to have boxes of AD&D 1st and 2nd Editon - never mind D20 3.x (I refuse to call what WOTC produces Dungeons and Dragons) and Hackmaster.

Thanks again.

Todd

I like your ideas - but I just have one question

Could you clarify:

Quote:
Rule of Thumb

The Edge modifier is never added when a character is able to add their level/HD to a die roll

Thanks

Has anyone done any work in converting AD&D 1st and 2nd Edition spells, magic items or Monsters into C&C?

If so how did you do it? I don't think it would be to hard - but I am lazy.

Oh and while I am at it - has anyone converted D20 3.X

Thanks

No worries about your PC's being afraid to buy the books - I have everything that was ever produced for Hackmaster and the less the PC's have the better!!!

Most of the books are GM Proprietory information only, anyway

<t>Over the weekend I was going through some RPG stuff that I had in boxes from the move into my new house and I came accross my Hackmaster stuff.<br/> <br/> If any of you don't know Hackmaster is a game that is played by the Knights of the Dinner Table in thier comic book - it basically AD&D 1s...

How do I get this? I don't see any link?

<t>Hey Antonio!<br/> <br/> I 100% agree that there should be some common sense - all I was getting at was - is it reasonable to expect PC's to sacrifice levels to gain abilities that they could otherwise have.<br/> <br/> Back in the old days (before the dark time - before 3.X) as a DM I used a simpl...

<t>My understanding of the Siege Engine rules is that if one attempts to do anything that is NOT the specific class ability of another class then you get to add your leve to the roll.<br/> <br/> For example: Swiming is not inherent to any class therefore when making a check the PC would roll a D20+A...

<t>First of all - I was wondering if anyone is using the Seconday Skill Rules from either Yggsburgh or the PDF download. If so - what do you think?<br/> <br/> Secondly - As I read these rules - I find myself saying "Why would I bother? I, honestly don't see a player actually doing this. What PC is g...

Thanks for all your suggestions - It looks like I have some work to do - but it will be fun.

<t>Has anyone done any converting (and I am not convinced that it is necessary to convert) D&D 3.X spells into C&C?<br/> <br/> My thought is this - I have tons of 3.X D&D books that I don't think I will use anymore (now that I have fully embraced C&C) - the sheer volume of rules used...

<t>First of all I want to give a heartfelt thanks to the Troll Lords - they really did a great job with Castles and Crusades. The two main books and the modules are fantastic!!!<br/> <br/> Simply put - you restored my faith that someone could actually produce a good product in the gaming industry (a...

<t>I don't think that all the negativity toward G. Gygax is necessarily at him, personally, but rather at the older versions of D&D.<br/> <br/> 3.5 did correct some of the problems of the older systems but created lots more. The old style of D&D was more about, in my opinion, who your charct...

I never said that the rumor was true but Mr. Goodman seemed to be taking it seriously.

I hope its just a rumor...

<t>First the Good News:<br/> <br/> I sent an email to Steve Goodman at Goodman games inquiring:<br/> <br/> 1) did they plan more C&C modules and his response is all future Dungeon Crawl Classics modules should have an appendix with C&C conversion notes in it. Awesome.<br/> <br/> 2) are they ...

Please don't get me wrong - I think C&C is fine the way it handles Magic Items - its just trying to convince people that have been Spoiled by 3.5 D&D that is the problem.

<t>All-<br/> <br/> As I have stated before - I am a new convert to C&C and find the game to be very cool.<br/> <br/> However, I am trying convert others from my gaming group, and having tackled the FEAT issue - I now find myself running into the issue of Magic Item Creation or even purchase.<br/...
