Troll Lord Games

Jakandor is the first one that springs to mind. I've not heard of that one. What is it like ? Its basically an island, divided into who rules which side. One of them is occupied by a tribe of spellcasters, primarily using necromancy - the Charonti or something. And the other are barbarian Viking-li...

And I guess I'll go back to not bothering with this place.

I Hope not ! I always enjoy your posts and you have added so much here over the years !!!!

I just ordered the 2e of Celtarium and will have Nordica and Germania on deck. I want to maybe incorporate ideas from them into Aihrde or A few Airhde ideas into a world inspire by the codex series. NICE, One thing I dislike about Aihrde is the fact they have what 4 or 5 separate cultural feels to ...

I've never heard of that book, but I never run my monsters or NPCs as stupid, unless they are stated that way. Monsters should never be just static flesh bags that the PCs get to go and kill just to get exp, they are part of the real (imaginary) world and should act and react as part of the world. R...

Welcome to the world or C&C DMing! the Monday Night group I'm in uses discord all the time and roll 20 (sometimes map tools) for half the games So here is what I can advice from it From personal experience, since you are using discord & roll 20 - be ready for com issues if you have someone that has ...

First, welcome to the boards, glad to have you around here :!: For a game, as max said, you probably will have luck at the TLG discord channel Other than that, asking here usually, eventually, gets you a few leads on a game. The group I'm in does play Monday nights, but I usually do theater of the m...

Nice !

Wow I must be slipping. I missed a good conversation in the Ne'er-do-Well chat last night & I've missed this one ... I missed a lot of changes in the game over the years - 3e 4e Pathfinder etc - and was blissfully unaware of all the drauma that went on with TSR etc, so can't add anything to that par...

I think the issue with Illusionist and healing is in how you picture the illusionist and their associated powers. Are they a weak version of a magic user with powers that are simply glamor and tricks of the mind and fooling of ones senses Are they ones able to hide mask bend and change reality throu...

Greyhawk exclusively

Sooooo you are a setting snob

Fizz, Midnight. You know I got the setting and some of the extension books, and it did look VERY interesting, but I never was able to play or run it. Crud, now you made me re-add something to my RPG bucket list !

Now that will come down to how much you trust your players, but I feel if you are in a group that would cheat like that you may not want to be in that group . Agreed. Being with a group you can trust is essential. The "theatre of the mind" works well for our group. I don't think Lurker would tolera...

Rollin
Welcome to the thread, and to TLG !

As Dacha said, there is no official gazetteer type book for the area, but you can peace it together out of the modules

Now that you mention it though, I DO like the idea of one …. Trolls, do you hear this … something to add to the wish list !

These are some great memories. Glad to have made them with all of you!!!

Wow Long time ago
Rgr that on the great memories !

900 AD or there about, world as it was but all beliefs and mythology are real, each to their country then over lay kind of a global "middle earth".. then everyone can be what they want.. Egyptian, Celtic, Norse, Japanese... whatever... but the gods and history and cultures are preserved and no one ...

Me, I HATE non human races only getting 2 primes.

Yes I can see a min maxer playing another race only to get 3 primes and race benefits, but I don't play with min maxers anyway, and there are other ways to balance the races without ham stringing the other races like that.

Let me clarify Rigon's post, since I'm part of the Monday Night group I'm the limiting factor on voice only, discord, etc etc etc . My internet service SUCKS, and everyone has to step down to what my back woods Okie tin can and string internet access allows. So, make sure everyone playing can handle...

B&W for the most part.

Edit to add: Non glossy paper and wide margins are a bonus.

Plus 1 to that !!!!

Kayolan & Ancalagon I understand the simplicity of not allowing multi class character, and can see the allure of that (yes it would make things so much more simple). However, I believe the world is more complex so that is reflected in my games. Also I am a habitual fiddler and tinker with the rules ...

Well I'm running AA Masque of Red death, and one of the players just picked up mentalist as a 2nd class. Now by the book, from now on half his exp should go into Pugilist (his 1st class) and half should go into his 2nd class. Unless of course you are using class and 1/2 rules However, I'm a little m...

25 Jan 2021 recap Milun Gilad Foix De’ Canard, Inceptor Neophyte of the good wise knowing god Tinel, and professional book hunter for his god's scriptorium, smiled. The old dusty tome he held in his hands was a goal completed. Finding it, and similar old forgotten books, was why his order trained an...

... The players, at the end of a long week, are not really ready for political intrigue so much as 'Smash bad guy! Take Treasure!' Honestly at the end of each week that's about where I'm at too.

Rgr that ! I'm right there with you !

I've thought about running an Airdhe game, but over in the Drakenfold. Let us know how the game goes. R- I'm in as a player ! :D JG Rgr on no baggage like Grayhawk. Airdhe is a vast well developed area and great to run (well it looks like it would be, I haven't been able to play/run it myself) and ...

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...
