Troll Lord Games

Looking forward!

For NPCs, I pretty much always used the following format: (x4) Possessed Squires of Gefahlian, SZ: M, HD: 4 (d10), HP: 26, 28, 29, 31, MV: 30 ft., (60 ft. Fly), AC: 18 (Mail Hauberk +1), ATTKS: 1 Weapon (Longsword, 1d8+1); Talon (1d4+1); Bite (1d4), SPECIAL: Light Sensitivity, Blood Frenzy, Speak wi...

I've played Dungeon World a handful of times. It's neat, and does really feel like playing classic styles of D&D without having to know any of the rules to those games. However, Dungeon World is a bit too crunch-lite for my players to run. Even though C&C is generally crunch-lite, it gives e...

This is exactly the reason I keep falling back into C&C, and truly have never left. I like to try other systems, but when I start reading and coming up with ideas, I find myself thinking how much easier it would be to just do something in C&C ~ and then I'm back into C&C. Familiarity has...

The drivethru PHB page indicates that the 6th printing PHB has not been updated.

I wonder if it has.

Haven't seen any new C&C games on warhorn.net yet, and nobody has signed up to GM or play in the ones I've posted for GaryCon 9. I'm curious why nobody else is posting their convention or FLGS games or contacting me about C&C events you plan to run or play in at GaryCon 9 or another convent...

If you run a game at GenCon, your table will be full. Have no worries about that. ~O Hey buddy! I have a comment/question. Not just for you, Omote, but anyone. I think you hit the con scene a bit more than I do (cons in the SE/Florida absolutely suck) and I am curious about your comment. How much &...

Though the correct answer is probably Castle Zagyg, I will still say the very best is Heart of Glass. An immense series of adventures tucked away into a tiny micro-setting within Aihrde. Even though I don't really run Aihrde, I do love this module/sourcebook.

Please Treebore, send them in quickly to productsupport@trolllord.com so that they can get into the final printed edition!

There's even a handful or more OFF-GRID (not listed with the convention) C&C events during GenCon every year.

Nope. Being a RIFTS player now, has me baffled on how you can possibly transition the game from Palladium's statistics minutia, to Savage Worlds sort of glossed over statistics. I've played Savage Worlds a handful of times now, and while it's not a favorite system of mine, it can really provide a ni...

Muy muy inspiration!

Verily.

Some Greyhawk setting information regarding the Gran March, Hochoch, Orlane, and the Cult of the Reptile God -- getting ready for my convention game next month.

I desperately try to avoid any symbolism, or description that makes my games appear as superheroes in a fantasy world. Sometimes this is referred to as gritty, low-magic style of play, but it doesn't have to be that way. As a CK to avoid this superhero fantasy style of play, I think we have to be co...

My buddy Tim does it from time to time. I personally think running games like that is insanely difficult. My last campaign recently wrapped up and the players were 11-16th level. At that level, they are ridiculous powerhouses and they know it. I find it troublesome at that level, I can't inage comin...

Ugh, I totally hate it. For the same exact reasons that RunningLaser gave, it's awful. I never read past the first book in the series because it was a total LOTR ripoff. That was before I knew the backstory behind the publication of the Iron Tower Trilogy. Still, I can't recommend it as you'll be co...

Like RunninLaser, our group splits up loot then and there. I'm a stickler for EV, and the amount of stuff carried. Oh you have 4 sets of armor, and a loadout of weapons, I don't think so. Time to ditch something.

Good point.

Gods of gaming! Those maps are so cool. Somebody is getting stabbed on the tennis court for sure... *psst* Because I know it will happen.

The new Codex of Aihrde really makes a compelling case to run the setting. I like much about it, but feel that because the setting is so relatively dense, that it will be hard for me to make Aihrde come across as different than many other settings. Yes, I want to, and am leaning towards doing so. ~O

Who makes calls any more? For work purposes, maybe. But I don't really communicate any longer by making phone calls. Phone calls are dead. Evolve. Don't ever call me just to say "hi. What's up?"

It's impossible to keep people away from their cell phones today. On a basic level, players have kids and need to text spouses from time to time because that is how the world works. I could never say no to that. And frankly, if it's a quick text I'm totally fine with that. I do get annoyed when play...

It's a neat little item that I like more for the box, and the artwork on the booklets themselves than the actual game material inside. I like the box so much that I wish TLG would take the time and effort to actually make the Black Box the new "basic" version of the game.

in the past I would say the best number of players was about 5. The past 10 years or so, I have had to get use to running between 9-12 players. It is tough, but with practice it can be achieved with some great results. There is no doubt, with groups this large there is a certain amount of detail in ...

Real, real tough to pick just one, but I think I'll have to go with: The Deed of Paksenarrion series by Elizabeth Moon. The first two books of the series are written quite well, and read just like a series of D&D adventures. Good stuff. Honorable mention must go to the first trilogy in the Black...

I smell a pun here somewhere.
