Troll Lord Games

<t>I've always found that the big problem people have with 'psionics' is the modern-ish, pseudo-scientific name. When I have a "Mentalist" class that uses "mind magic" or whatever, my players don't bat an eye. <br/> <br/> Ooh, nostalgia... in an old (basic) D&D game, I adapted the psionics rules...

<t>What I did was to let all characters add 1/2 level to any ol' check - I figure that a wizard who has been dungeon-crawling for six levels ought to know a thing or two about stealth, even though it's not his specialty, and thus get +3 + ability mods.

<t>So, as noted in another post, I've got some players looking for Lankhmaresque thrills, and I think C&C is the best way to go. Also as noted elsewhere, I no longer have my old 1st print copy of the rules, so until I get a new copy, I'll be using the Quick Start Rules to give 'em a taste. Howev...

<t>A long while back, I picked up the 1st printing of C&C PG - it looked very neat and did a lot of what I wanted a game to do, but there were a lot of unfortunate printing problems - chunks of text missing, spells missing, and ... well, mostly there were things missing. I'm sure you're all fami...
