Troll Lord Games

<t>Well, a friend of mine came over and poked around the old computer with his kit, and the power supply is probably bad and it looks like it's damaged the motherboard. Apparently the surge protector I had been using is a worthless piece of garbage...<br/> <br/> I have limited access to the internet...

<t>Unfortunately I took my computer down to the local shop this afternoon and they're being even bigger idiots than previously and I decided I just didn't want to deal with them. That leaves plan B which is to schlep it down to a less-local shop on Saturday, on the bus. Unless I end up just trying t...

<t>Hey guys. Sorry I missed the game... Unfortunately my computer decided to crap out on me, and I've only sort of got it working again. My sound and USB ports aren't working, which means no headset (and also I had to buy a new mouse and keyboard). I'm going to take it in to have the local computer ...

<t>Hey, guys. I've been having intermittent internet problems since the weekend. I haven't been able to figure out what's going on, but hopefully it won't affect the game. I'll also try and get on early if at all possible.<br/> _________________<br/> My heart is black, and my lips are cold<br/> <br/...

<t>Here's what I'm looking at:<br/> <br/> Samson Maliggato<br/> <br/> 9th level Human Fighter LG<br/> <br/> STR (p) 17 +2<br/> <br/> INT 14 +1<br/> <br/> WIS (p) 17 +2<br/> <br/> DEX 15 +1<br/> <br/> CON (p) 18 +3<br/> <br/> CHA 13 +1<br/> <br/> 102hp AC: 26<br/> <br/> Polish Hussar Armor +2, Large ...

<t>I'm confirmed and hope to post my character in just a second... Sorry about the delay, things just seem to keep coming up...<br/> _________________<br/> My heart is black, and my lips are cold<br/> <br/> Cities on flame with rock and roll<br/> <br/> Three thousand guitars they seem to cry<br/> <b...

<t>lol... That's awesome.

<t>The first thing I would suggest is that you set up a "special orders" binder, have your distributor catalogs available so that you can check on product numbers / availability, and make a special effort to keep up with new products and to ensure that any special orders get dealt with as efficientl...

<t>I'm liking what I'm seeing, and I'd definitely be down with a SIEGE-engine scifi game...<br/> <br/> But I keep wondering, when seeing the "StarSIEGE" title, if you are aware of the PC games Starsiege and Starsiege: Tribes, and consequently if their existence would end up having any impact on the ...

Birthright wrote: I thought it must have been. For such a stremlined system, it seemed odd to me that XP would be done in such a way that required a calculation for each creature defeated. I'm considering just jotting in the average XP per creature into my copy of M&T, and maybe doubling or eve...

Treebore wrote: You didn't read the "Energy Drain" description right after the blood drain. Plus my M&T does not have that sentence you quoted. You must have the second printing. According to what I have the slam attack does 2 levels of loss, immeidately, with no save. W hen they do t...

<t>I'm currently considering a Fighter-type (also looking at Barbarian and Knight atm...). Sorry I haven't posted a character yet, I'm re-reading the PHB to fix what's C&C vs. what's badly-remembered AD&D / 3.5 / old house-rules... I'll probably roll with a Human for three Primes goodness.<b...

<t>Well, I've got SKYPE, and a new headset, and it all seems to be working so far... You still waiting for me to confirm, Treebore, or have I been bumped to standby? There's no real reason for me not to commit at this point, other than Murphy's Law... <br/> _________________<br/> My heart is black, ...

Treebore wrote: I wish more of the spells followed the rules for what stat gives what save. Personally I tend to call for saves based on the situation and the players descriptions of their characters actions. For example, avoiding a Fireball by diving for cover is normally a Dexterity save, but I w...

<t>Quick question (inspired by some recent posts ): Anyone know where I can find a good Witch class for C&C, or which I could convert to C&C? (Or, probably, I should say "some good Witch classes, as there are so many interpretations thereof...)<br/> _________________<br/> My heart is black, ...

<t>I'm glad HackMaster got published. I liked a lot of the early stuff in KotDT, although it got kind of stale after a while IMHO. However I'm not a fan of HM as a game. It's not the AD&D I remember (which I can get ahold of a lot cheaper and without any extra baggage), and the humor (and attemp...

<t>I'm kind of this way about home-brew settings... Despite my love of Greyhawk I mostly only end up reading GH stuff (well, that and stealing bits here and there!). I'll probably end up doing the same with Yggs and the Castle.<br/> <br/> But since the beginning I've run my own worlds, it's what I'm...
