Troll Lord Games

I'm out too. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

The LOTR films had a sense of care and passion behind them - the Hobbit trilogy by comparison felt like a bloated cash-out. If LOTR had never existed, maybe the Hobbit would've gotten a better reception? Same could be said for the Star Wars prequels. . . I seriously dislike the Hobbit films. Just a...

Open Discussion might be the best place here. Not to drive traffic away from this site, but there may be a place on the Trolls Discord channel where you would get more looks. Might be worth a try.

LOL! In all seriousness, that was great foreshadowing and has allowed me to add more depth to the character.

Gerard hates spiders...

Well in this case, the goal was to get this gem. They knew the danger. Good thing is the rogue is an NPC that I'm playing and not either of my son's characters. He's been pretty clever so far, so I suspect the wizard that sent them on the quest will figure something out for them.

I'd say sure it is possible. Something like have the caster make an int (or Wis if a cleric) base attack. If it hits then the spell is placed correctly on the end of the target's noes and it is now at a negative to hit. A crit puts it in its eye and blinds the target. Isn't there a blinding flash s...

Do you let mages and cleric perfectly put a spell just where they want... think magic missile perfect or any spell centered area to get the bad and just miss the good? So if you do not force some sort of magic spell to hit... then do not do it here. Does the other guy get a save to not have it be i...

Are you also asking about the raise dead? I love letting PCs that die, and the player wants to, play them get raised or reincarnated easily... I think 7th or 9th level NPC should be pretty common (ok, out there). If they do not have a "will" in advance, that's what speak with dead is all about. Mak...

mores code, bird calls, those types of things, whisper, write notes and drop them.. but yeah I take mini's off the board and only I keep track of them with notes on movement from the pc to me. love nailing invisible PCs... see invisible to one of your PCs is the ultimate goal or message or sending ...

All great ideas, thanks! I'm trying to have him figure this out on his own, but since it's just the 2 of us playing I have to help a bit.

I have always, personally, felt, its a fantasy game, why be a human, I get to be one of those every day!

Agreed. I usually play a 1/2 Elf or an Elf though

Looking for ideas on how Invisible scouts communicate back to the party. My son's party has an invisible & silent Rogue, followed by an invisible Ranger. I've been challenging him to be creative in how they can communicate when to stop, when there's danger, etc without either revealing their positio...

Looks great Les. Has an ancient Numenorean feel.

No doubt this has been covered before, but I couldn't find it in a search, so here goes. Can a Light spell be cast directly into the eyes of an opponent, blinding them temporarily? I know you could in OD&D, but can't in 1E. The C&C spell description doesn't say either way. My son asked about it in l...

1/2 Orcs are good for killin', not for playin'

My books shipped yesterday. WOOT, WOOT!

R-

How are they?

I got to crow for a minute.. FINALLY, at 7th level death stuck my first creature... a Frost Giant... in a cloud of butterflies (damn wand of wonder).. went in and removed his kidney in one bloody spear thrust.... and NO ONE saw it... all they found was me sitting on a dead giant.. covered in blood ...

Welcome to the Crusade! As others have said, things aren't as active here as they used to be, but there still is a core group that checks in. I learned a ton on here just by searching around when I first started playing C&C. Rigon, Lurker, Treebore, and others were of great assistance as well. Have ...

Unfortunately I'm not going to make the game tonight. Feel free to use Gerard. I think I posted his stats in Discord. See y'all next week.

I kind of like a WIS check against divine magic and an INT check against arcane magic... evens it out for everyone...

I like that idea. Might have to try it out in this weekend's game.

Sorry about that, my laptop just rebooted on it's own...

Oof... sounds like a rough day Les. So working from home for the foreseeable future?

So no game?

I had a little time today I tried to recreate the colors as best I could using the Prosilver theme. I'm willing to install some other themes as we move also for those who have any favorites. At least it looks more familiar now. -Mike Thanks Mike. I was just a bit surprised by the change, but I unde...

Oh I'm there. I don't post much, but I look at the content daily. I just think the way the forum is set up is easier to follow.

Um... what happened here? Seems as if this forum just went the way of Dragonsfoot and K&K Alehouse. I do not like the format at all. Why the change?

I'm on book 3 of the Witcher series. Good so far.

Good game last night Les. I like the set up.

What does one need to do "Discord"... sounds like its named to fight. Here's the link https://discordapp.com/. You can either download the app or open in Windows. Once there you create an account (no charge). I think you need to be invited to join a "Channel", but most are easy to come by. TLG has ...
