Troll Lord Games

<t>a bunch of Fight On! backissues.<br/> <br/> and Finch's "Pod-Caverns of the Sinister Shroom", which I consider the best module I have read in over a year. In fact, I'm placing it immediately into my campaign, and am hoping that hte players will pick up on this seed for the next couple of adventur...

<t>thanks, Omote. That just shows how my memory of 1e is not quite right.<br/> <br/> @Aergraith - good points. Lots of little enemies it is. I hadn't thought about the non-discrimination of sleep as well.<br/> _________________<br/> The only thing you find in the middle of the road are dead animals ...

<t>in re the power of C&C spells, I have been reminded of this point as my 2nd level wizard makes hash of most of my careful plots for the PCs' destruction with the use of a single spell .... Sleep.<br/> <br/> BTB in C&C, Sleep provides no saving throw for 2d4 HD of creatures. The upper limi...

gotta go with Kirk

<t>So I started a new campaign in November, one with six players, four of whom are new to roleplaying, and two of whom have no old-school experience (ages range from 24-40). Naturally I'm using C&C for the modified Wilderlands setting I've set up.<br/> <br/> After 8 or 9 sessions two of the play...

<t>I agree, Omote. There are a couple of odd design features to Stonehell - the quadrant design of each level can make it seem artificial, for instance (and I am not very enthusiastic about the general rationale for the dungeon's existence - huge mega-prisons don't do it for me) - but it is a very g...

I'd recommend stonehell by Michael Curtis ... not specifically dwarven, but an awesome crawl

<t>i got the pc game for xmas and am enjoying it (as is my 9-year old daughter). It's funny everyone mentions Morrigan - I dropped her pretty quickly for Wynne, who is already a kickass healer. I must say, there is a learning curve- I had to drop down to easy mode for teh first boss fight. Now that ...

<t>another Chuck fan? I guess there are two of us!<br/> <br/> I'm still waiting to see if the new direction (Chuck as uber-spy) holds my interest as much as the old one. But I admit to having enjoyed the first hour of the new season.<br/> _________________<br/> The only thing you find in the middle ...

one of those sweet Sawstop tablesaws, and some extra cash to build a garage in which to house it.

<t>my players named their group "Burdock's Rangers" as an effort to ingratiate themself with the local lord's steward (the local lord is Burdock). This will have to change as some of the larger political plots come into play.<br/> <br/> I enjoy naming npc groups as well. Some of the more recent ones...

<t>Home for the Holidays - technically a Thanksgiving film, but the sentiment is the same.<br/> <br/> if pressed to name a Xmas film, I'd go with the 60s Animated Grinch cartoon.

nice! It reminds me of the old Rolemaster world, Shadow World.

<t>could be fun.<br/> <br/> but the magna carta and freedom for the nation bit is making me a bit nauseated ... Will it be another Braveheart, in which American national myths about freedom for all are transplanted into the MIddle Ages? I hope not!<br/> _________________<br/> The only thing you find...

for I long time in the 70s and 80s I stored my dice in a Tetramin fish-food cannister. Then the dice outgrew the cannister and I switched to a CR bag.

i still like the 1st cover of the AD&D PH, with the stone idol and the post-combat adventuring party. Classic work by D.A. Trampier!

<t>my favorite deity is Ksarul, Lord of the Blue Room (Tekumel).<br/> <br/> In more standard fantasy it would be Thoth, I think.<br/> <br/> As for hot goddesses, i imagine they'd all be pretty good .... but I'd take Isis. I don't think I could handle Dlamelish.<br/> _________________<br/> The only t...

<t>my group has played for about 14 hours, and only the rogue has leveled. As Peter/Gideon suggests, it all depends on what they've been doing. I think that in the first 10 hours they accrued possibly 150 ep each. That's because a lot of those early hours were plot and character building hours. In t...

<t>i like your train of thought, Peter. I like it a great deal, actually.<br/> <br/> I'm trying to do this with an npc at the moment. he's actually a perfectly evil assassin (CE if one were keeping track of such things), but I'm playing him as bluff and hardy, smiling all the time, in the spotlight,...

<t>oh, she's got one, Clarence! A nice Elven Rogue, named Arwen of course, of allegedly CG alignment but acting more LG. LOL!

I'm looking forward to what my traps consultant comes up with next.

<t>i was momentarily tempted by the Haven stuff. I loved that material bitd, and still have some of it somewhere. I realized, however, that I'd be throwing my money away on nostalgia, since I can't use it at the moment. Sorry, James! I'm sure someone else will want it.<br/> _________________<br/> Th...

<t>yup, pretty proud. she wanted a full blow-by-blow account of the adventure at bfast today, and was a little sad that the party had missed the acid trap (due to a natural 20 on a check traps check). she's decided she will be my 'trap consultant' from now on.<br/> _________________<br/> The only th...

<t>so I was prepping a site for last night's adventure when my 9-year old daughter asks me what I'm doing. I tell her I'm working on some details of the tomb that the party has been clearing for the last couple of sessions. And she says "Daddy, you need some more traps." Wiping away a tear, I say, "...
