Troll Lord Games

I've not run a campaign in HârnWorld but it is tempting. I'd need to house rule some things with regard to magic as C&C is a bit too high fantasy for the setting, IMO. Harn, rgr that. I've never played it or ran it, but I have mined the heck out of Harn things. Great sources for ideas However, like...

Good break down. I have something similar to that somewhere, but no telling where I rat holed it … Another thing I've done is looked at ancient Greece and Rome - yes there is a huge span of time there and huge changes of costs value of coins inflation etc. Also Diocletian policy of fixing prices wag...

The C&C history books do a great job of tying in the 'myth' of each timeframe/culture into the game . With that they are not strictly historic, and are not no magic, but they tend to be lower magic than average, or at least put a twist on magic outside the normal default For the old 2e history books...

Rgr Good to see you are alive and Kicking Hope all is well on your end! You doing any gaming ? If you are looking for a spot, us Monday Night Ne'er-do-Wells play a discord game & I'm sure we can make room for you ! Right now I'm running an Amazing Adventure Masque of Red Death game and Tree is runni...

thanks for posting those !

You know, I hate to admit it, but know nothing about Hollow World ... I've heard the name before, but that is it. Dark Sun ... Ant Lion ... ACK ... RUN AWAY !!!! I played it a little back in 2e, and once in C&C, and yes someone here running the C&C version killed me right out of the gate with an Ant...

I am fairly sure Drivethru has the old 2e history settings ... yeah just checked, $9.99 each, so fairly cheap at that. For a healer type class, I'd bet there is some home brews around here that would fit. I know one thing that us Monday Night Ne'er-do-Wells tend to do is have classes like Ranger, Ba...

I can't think of any official low magic setting for C&C. However, if you use the historic books they tend to be lower magic at least to a point. Now, I personally lean toward lower magic settings, so it is easy to house rule. Just limit the spells available - I'm doing that with the Amazing Adventur...

Since C&C is the 'Rosetta Stone' of D&D based games, I've been able to play it and convert multiple published settings over the years - Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, I think a little in Grayhawk, and Kalamar. Of course Aihrde, and then various home brews. However, last night, I got an e-mail about so...

Select a spell for the entire adventure .... Wow that DOES limit the cleric's abilities !

Final Wrap up Story 4 - Seaside visitor Dec 21 & 28 Dec Returned You investigated the now arson damaged house of Capt Baird - found 2 things that could be considered truly valuable to banish the ghost with You stopped an possessed girl's arson attack on Master Taylor's house You Investigated Master ...

Final info for Story 4, Seaside visitor You successfully got all the investigation points, with minimal nudging You avoided going off chasing random items or getting lost in red herrings You finished the needed research You got the tie in(s) to future stories (we will see if you remember them when i...

Just saw a 1 day sale at DrivethruRPG deal of the day

The 'Pulp Cthulhu' is off 60% so down to $9.00

Many of my tips are to get PCs more involved... let them roll their own critical damage against themselves... let them roll for random stuff.. 6 gems are found, one for each PC... let each roll for their value after they have it in hand and look close... not always faster, but in the end tell the s...

Sarosious, Half Elf Ranger, 8th level

Lupa-spadar Vinardi – Wolfsword Wine-son (Polite way of being called a bastard)

House ruled home brew Swashbuckler class

The same game as Sarosisus was in, and since Lupa was his drinking companion, that HAS to be why he is your favorite C&C character

Wellllll, I got my girls "Villainous' and the 3 expansions to if for Christmas this year. With that we played it twice last night after we finished the Christmas naps and cleaning the kitchen from the holiday feast we made (I have to say we hit a home run on it, and the bonus is the girls had a hand...

Well another year down, and oh what a year it was ....

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

May there be more gifts than coal, food and friends and family than isolation, and more books dice and the like for us all

7 Dec Recap Finishing day 3 and lasting 2 more weeks The group finished their interview of young Miss Helen Taylor (read everything was reviewed so everyone was on the same page since some had missed the previous week’s game) They were informed that there is no scheduled wagon or carriage to take th...

30 Nov Recap Sea Side Visitor day 3 Yes I actually was so busy all week last week that I couldn't post this earlier. Also, still fairly busy today sooooo this will be a trimmed down version of the recap The group meets with Mr Sloan the next morning and go over what they have discovered, nd what the...

DMSam - NICE

That is much better than what i found here at home. I have a few random notes on AC scattered around, and nothing as precise and in-depth (esp with the exp) as you posted.

THANKS

I know I've talked to Tree about it before, he may have had something saved on his 'signature block' for it or in his house rules

I may have some notes on it but they would be on my home computer, so I can't check until I get home from work.

It took me a while to find a good answer on this one. There are a lot of old movies I liked, back in the day, but I can't say I still like them for sure since I haven't seen them in YEARS. Plus, back then I didn't pay attention to what 'everyone' liked and was surrounded by friend with similar inter...

Another game I've never heard of, but one that , at least for the references list etc, I'd like to see. Plus the use of 'luck' sounds interesting.

Again thanks for posting it

Wow just noticed I didn't post when I first listened. Thanks for posting this I've thought about looking into Fate games before , so got a lot for this one. That said, from this I'm SURE Fate IS NOT for me ... It does sound like there is something good to take from it, the collaboration on 'site bui...

or for fun, have it sputter a few time prior to that, make it work, but almost go out , "you must have got it wet?".. do not have it function 100% Oh of course, especially with it being a horror setting ... Poof all the normal candles and oil lamps are snuffed out, and those few precious magical ca...

Sorry it took me this long to jump back into the conversation. Lots going on with work and then with the in-laws coming for Thanksgiving. Ok, I see your all's point. and it nearly convinces me Yes in total, it can deal out more massive damage over time. But that is theory. In practical, how often ha...

I managed to get both stepchildren to celebrate with us via Zoom. We had a good time talking and eating together, for a while there it seemed that the miles were not separating us.

NICE !!!

Hope you all have a good Thanksgiving in thus year of 2020 insanity

16 Nov recap The seaside visitor - day 2 The evening of the first day's investigation comes to a close, and the group joins Mr Sloan for an evening stroll along the promenade . A time to relax, see and be seen (and as Mr Magnus put it get access to some of the town's gossip) The did hear a bit of ne...

you are half way through the investigation on the current adventure - "The seaside visitor " You have investigated everything except for 1 house, and the asylum. You found out all 4 key targets You figured out (even before the mind readings) the main thrust of the issue you read the mind of 1 of the...
