Troll Lord Games

<t>Treasure? Oh I always forget to give my players any of that stuff. <br/> Actually I let them figure out completely on their own who gets what. As far as XP, I figure that in with whatever encounter net them the loot, and divide it up evenly. I think I tend to be more generous with XP than treasur...

Hope he beat the odds too.

I only talked with him briefly once at a Gencon, seems like a nice person.

How can a dude so big make D&D sound so sissy.....

actually I thought he was trying to explain his D&D experience pretty well, but the interviewers didn't give damn about it at all. Maybe he made them ask about in order to give the interview.

I've also only been to Blacktooth Ridge, well as a CK.

Which reminds me that I've never been a player in a C&C game.

<t>Hehe! Yeah If i'd known what they were going to this I would put the campaign in Greyhawk. I didn't figure on needing much detail beyond Eastmark.<br/> <br/> They can expect to be robbed & beaten upon arrival in "Dunfalcon". And maybe arrested on trumped up charges of distrubing the peace, sp...

<t>I've never played or run a game set in the World of Greyhawk <br/> But if had the chance I would liked to have visited Greyhawk Castle. The city of Greyhawk would be good for me as well I think.<br/> <br/> (I started a game set in Yggsburgh using Castle Zagyg, but my players don't seem too eager ...

Modern to me means current in publication games as well . It also seems like a word tossed in reviews and like to pad the word count or to make it seem like your are talking about something important.

Hawt chicks, lecherous dragons,and ape-men in an underground lost city, what more could you want .

I picked it up at the LGS about 2 weeks ago. Looks like a good and very fun adventure,

I think that if converted to C&C it would be a little higher level.

I mostly bought for the cover, that dragon looks lecherous.

There's a certain amount of inherent ironic humor in the concept of needing a reality check in a fantasy game.
In C&C...would this be a prime check or a non prime check?

If it is WIS, its non prime

I think the sling could have a little higher range. Ancient Greek and Roman accounts sometimes claim that sling had greater range than bow.

I think its range should be 60' or 70'.

Great write-up Brad_J, sound like you have a great game going there as well. I got improve my campaign write up if I'm going to continue it now .

I'm like this idea, might use this at first level sometime.
