Troll Lord Games

Well done, and very scary. The look on a player's face when his PC gets bitten ought to be priceless!

<r>For all of you you were waiting for true warrior Devils, here they are. The Wrath Devils are the nastiest bunch of creatures your PCs will never want to run into. They are the common officers within Hell's Legions, as well as elite troops and fiendish Knight Errants who independently spread miser...

<r>Here's your basic, pitchfork-wielding Devil. He's just itching for the chance to torture some damned souls! Unlike other castes of Devil, Tormentor Fiends aren't associated with any single Deadly Sin. Rather, they're the common working fiends that keep Hell hellish! <br/> TORMENTOR DEVIL<br/> <br...

<r>Thanks everyone, for all your encouragement so far. Your appreciation really makes me want to continue with what could turn into a pretty massive undertaking. After the basic Diabolical castes are defined, there's still the matter of stating up the nobles, the ruler of each caste, and providing s...

Those would be more useful to my game, even if I have my own versions of them already. Possessor Demons are coming soon. Of course, they're going to be really more ...

<r>Having explored the epic tragedy of the Luminous Devils, we turn to a Devil nobody could love. The Accuser Devil is both lying and litigious. Their somewhat psychedelic appearance is directly inspired by certain medieval depictions of the Devil, as well as the appearance of the "Devil" card in ce...

<r>Having dwelt on the vile side of Evil with the Corrupter Devil, now I'll present the tragic aspect. Inspired by the legends of fallen angels, the idea of the Devil appearing as an angel of light, and the strong artistic tradition of the diabolical lover, here are the Luminous Devils. They represe...

<r>One can never have too many monsters to infest lost cities in the midst of miasmal swamps and trackless jungles. I like 'em both!<br/> _________________<br/> The Engine of Oracles: Creations For Gaming<br/> <URL url="http://engineoforacles.wordpress.com/">http://engineoforacles.wordpress.com/</UR...

<r>I heartily recommend David Macaulay's "Castle". Although intended for children, it is a thorough, well-research and beautifully illustrated treatment of the design and construction of a medieval castle from planning to completion.<br/> _________________<br/> The Engine of Oracles: Creations For G...

<r>Last thing I read was the "Dungeon Alphabet", which I purchased primarily for the great Old School art. Before that, it was the Castle Zagyg Vol 1: Yggsburg hardback.<br/> _________________<br/> The Engine of Oracles: Creations For Gaming<br/> <URL url="http://engineoforacles.wordpress.com/">http...

Tenser's Floating Disk wrote: You should publish all these devils together in a collection somewhere... That's the plan! Their still not all done, of course, but as you might have noticed they're more or less based around the 7 Deadly Sins. So, the Seducer Devil tempts with Lust, the Pact Devil wit...

<r>Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. You'll find the next Devil in the series in the C&C forum. He's a real party guy...<br/> _________________<br/> The Engine of Oracles: Creations For Gaming<br/> <URL url="http://engineoforacles.wordpress.com/">http://engineoforacles.wordpress.com/</UR...

<r>Here's the classic Devil who presides over the Witch's Sabbath of late medieval and early modern lore. He makes a great final villain for a story arc, especially if there are Paladins or good Clerics among the PCs. Remember, what follows is a description of medieval legend - nothing in it is refl...

<r>Here's an intriguing fellow just waiting to make a deal. He makes a great plot device for darker campaigns, as well as a way to explain the existence of many magic items. Remember, always read the fine print on anything you sign....<br/> PACT DEVIL (Black Man of the Crossroads)<br/> <br/> NO. ENC...

Oops! Meant to put this in the C&C forum.

<r>A simple way to "gritty up" weapons would be to make Slashing weapon +1 to hit and damage against non or lightly armored foes, but -1 to hit and damage against chainmail or anything heavier.<br/> <br/> Piercing weapons would be -1 to hit and damage against lightly armored foes (they're easier to ...

<r>The following version of the Incubus/Succubus attempts to present the monster in way that is consistent with the actual medieval lore. It is not the stuff of sexy fantasy art, but a horrible fiend with a real "ick" factor. Definitely not for every campaign.<br/> <br/> Coming soon: The Pact Devil,...

<r>The Fame spell is, of course, meant to be a trap, a candy-coated calamity that twists the subject's dreams of fame into a horrible nightmare. I actually toyed with the idea of making it an even lower Level spell, in order to encourage its abuse (and provide the CK with an excuse to torment player...

<r>The following spell has deep implications for a Campaign's storyline, if the CK allows it. It resides in the category of "plot-device" magic that primary alters reality around the subject. An entire storyline can easily be built around dealing with the unfortunate implications of its unwise use.<...
