Troll Lord Games

I'm definitely interested, and in fact I've been looking for a PbP for Castles and Crusades for a while now. If you decide to go forward with this, count me in!

<t>Hate to do this, but I'm going to have to bow out of the Thursday group. Situation at work has been tense these last few weeks, and I've been working more hours than normal, and my schedule has not been consistent at all. Since I can't be sure that I will be able to make the sessions, I am going ...

<t>Well, I haven't gotten to do much with the system so far. We've not finished any modules yet, but I'm in the middle of running Beacon at Enon Tor and Rising Knight. As of today, I haven't had a chance to play, but once my players (my younger brothers) have had more experience with the system, I h...

<t>Thursdays work for me, though I don't know if I can start before 6 P.M. PST due to work. Fridays really wouldn't work unless we were playing at a later time (I wouldn't be available until 8 P.M. Pacific, probably). <br/> <br/> In general, I'm pretty open Monday thru Thursday nights, and Saturday ...

<t>Well, after owning the rulebooks for a couple of months, I finally sat down and ran C&C for my brother today. I ran him thru most of "The Rising Knight", and overall, we had a very good time.<br/> <br/> His character (Soltair, a level 1 Half-elf (human lineage) Ranger) arrived in Malforten in...

First game session was today, fairly good experience, but we did have a few bumps in the road.. I'm gonna write it up on the Crusades board in just a bit.

The funny thing is, I actually can picture sea lions doing the job. Walrus I really don't have a good point of reference for. It seems comically funny....

<t>Interesting you should bring this up. My brother and I finally spent some time last night creating a character for C&C (first time we've done chargen with this system), and both thought it was hilarious that they had Walrus listed in the equipment section. Walrus! Seriously?? <br/> <br/> Now,...

Another thing on the weapon tables, in 2nd printing, at least, were some iffy damage ratings. Like poniards=1D8. I bet they got a lot of that stuff in the 3rd printing, though. ...

Cool, found it. Travellers site does have some CK screen downloads, and the 2nd printing does have pretty much what I am looking for. I do have the actual CK screens for myself, but this will work as a simple handout. Thanks again, Treebore.

<t>We did character creation tonight, and I explained the basics of SEIGE checks to him. Overall, I'm glad we did it tonight, as it went like it usually does... TV on in the background, plenty of chatting and joking. Had a great time, but really didn't get much done. His character is almost finished...

Perfect, that clears everything up. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Serleran. Don't mean to beat a dead horse, but let me try to clarify some of this. serleran wrote: 1) Writing a spell takes 1 day + 1 day per level (with zero = 1 day), each requiring 2 pages per level of the spell (except zeros which take 1) at a cost of 100 gp / level / page ...

<t>I've been rereading parts of the PHB (3rd edition) to prepare for my first C&C session, this Sunday. In the process, a couple of questions have come up, both dealing with the magic system. Please note, right now I am just looking for BTB answers, and clarification about things that don't seem...

<t>As we discussed in my other thread, Treebore, I would love take part in one of your groups.<br/> <br/> I'm in Pacific Time here myself, and available mostly weekday nights from about 7 p.m. to whenever. New to C&C, tabletop roleplaying in general, Ravenloft, and SKYPE, but I would love to hav...

<t>Thanks Tank. I read through the full module last night, and I've seen a few characters in the writeup of Malforten that seemed to shout out "hireling potential!" I figure I will have a few brave souls in the village willing to go with him, and it will be up to him to find them, and choose who he ...

<t>Thanks for the kind words Treebore, I appreciate the encouragement.<br/> <br/> I've skimmed Rising Knight, but will sit down with it tonight and give it a full read.. probably be back today or tomorrow with more specific questions on the module. You didn't mention it in your encounter adjustment ...

<t>Long time lurker and newbie GM here, looking for some help. I've tried out 3.5 and been somewhat dissatisfied and bored with it (too many rules, too much to read and try to remember). I'm the type that buys plenty of rulebooks, but rarely actually plays anything. Even though I like what I have re...

<t>Hi all! I've been lurking around here for a few weeks now, but thought I would finally sit down and write an intro post, and a request for some help while I'm at it.<br/> <br/> So you know where I am coming from, I'm a resident of California in my mid 20's with virtually no pen and paper gaming e...
