Troll Lord Games

No offense given or taken. Its all about fun.

Have to admit a bit of a head-shake moment -- several posts referenced being unhappy with any race as any class, but that's true in C&C as well. Why? Some people house rule things. Everyone can play the type of game they enjoy. If you like Halfling Paladins & Dwarf Wizards- then play that. ...

I have my new Players Handbook now and gave it a once over, quick read. We are back to every race can be every class now, no level restrictions. Halfling Paladins, Dwarf Wizards, etc. Dwarves lost their anti-magic, but still resist poison. Not a Tiefling or Dragonborn fan. The Warlock seems the newe...

In interested in seeing what you come up with!

Gygax Mag #4 actually has some decent new low-level undead types. (skeletons & zombies) Hd are 2 or 3.
Skeletons- Flame, Dust, Ice, Rune, Shroud
Zombies- Charred, Feral, Plague, Drowned, Stitched

HOW DO WE BUY IT!!??

$24 for mailing from a US address to a US address? Media Mail? Yeah, absolutely a blatant rip off. Edit: Your reading that wrong, its roughly $10 for the UK and US, the $24 is for Europe. $10 for a boxed set, expansions, etc... is very reasonable. Ahhh, my apologies. Hard to read how they had it se...

Im a Lone Wolf fan, but $24 shipping to the USA killed it for me, since im not interested in PDFs. I'll have to wait until this available to the public, so I can order it online without the expensive shipping & probably at a discount to boot. Its "US friendly" but charges $24 to ship f...

Last day for this. Posed to hit $10K goal & stretches. $15 gets you a decent set of printable dungeons & adventurers/monsters.

Okumart has some very cool cardboard minis. Here is the Kickstarter for more.

I loved that game.

You would only appear to be young, but your bones would be brittle, you would still be old, lack energy, etc. Kind of like plastic surgery! :lol: I don't know, Polymorph Other can turn you into a completely new creature, permanently. The spell says nothing about whether or not you can make the new ...

No big deal. I know you were trust trying to help.

Either way, I didn't have a handy means of downloading the free pdf yet, and a local store had the starter. I just wanted to read through it. If I had realized there wasn't info about the basic classes and races, I wouldn't have bought it. THIS! A 64 page adventure with 5 pregens and no way to make...

You might be overlooking the fact that D&D Basic covers this, and is free. No, I haven't, check my other post. My point is that a Starter set should be for new players. You shouldn't have to go to the internet later and download a free pdf. Did any other D&D basic set NOT have character cre...

Thanks for the reply. Not a smart move by WOTC. A better rulebook, but smaller adventure would have been better. If they want their own character other than the pregens, its a big turn-off for new players right from the start. New Guy:" I want to play a Dwarf Fighter." DM: " No, sorry...

I don't know if this is true, as I do not have the Starter Set myself yet- the set does NOT contain rules for character creation. WTF!?! A starter set, for beginners, and it doesn't have a section to make your own characters?! Huh?! Yeah, I know there are 5 pregens. Yeah I know you can get "BAS...

DMSamuel, Thank you for providing your thoughts on 5e. I signed up for the playtest but only managed to skim through the rules packet a couple of years ago and did not follow any additional developments. I know nothing about the game and your post let me get an idea of what to expect when the offic...

d6 HP

Wow. magic got a boost in power.
A Firebolt cantrip does 1d10 damage & can set things on fire. Magic Missile spell starts with 3 missiles at Level 1.

In all fairness you can pre-order the 3 books, at Amazon, for a significant discount and free shipping.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. The 5th Ed PHB will debut at ~$50. I think the other 2 Core books also. The uptake will be lower than 3.x or 4.x but will still be the RPG sales figure of the year. I just don't think that it will regain for WotC the top seat. Ouch. $50 a book for 3 core books mig...

Read it over. When is this suppose to see print? Is there a release schedule?

The great paladin Ralgorax, the Sword of Tyr, in the dead of night roused the sleeping northern village where he had been born, riding his charger down its streets and banging his great sword against his shield. He warned of an oncoming orc horde and slew its boldest scouts as the vil- lagers scramb...

How about an Undead that is not evil for once.

DEMON DOGS!!
Thundarr the Barbarian.

Blackstar was cool too. I remember an elf-looking guy that could shape-change.

Ok, PDF is fine to check things out, but I prefer a dead tree version. Nice that its free.

The Basic edition will be a free PDF now.

No box set?
