Troll Lord Games

<t>Looking at evil as an example...<br/> <br/> Faint Aura = a few Goblins or other low-level evil threat.<br/> <br/> Moderate Aura = a larger pile of Goblins or some evil low level PC Class NPCs, Hellhounds<br/> <br/> Strong Aura = Young Evil Dragons, Mid Level Evil PC Class NPCs, Vampires<br/> <br/...

I took an existing persistant world and then wiped out whole sections of it and started replacing them with stuff from my own gameworld. It was fun while I was whipping it up.

<t>I am currently rebuilding my website using a Content Management system and I was wondering if there might be some kind of Troll Lord Games "Fan Site" material available.

Welcome to the Crusade!

Take a look at the sticky at the top of this forum. It's got some nifty sites to check out.

I would have no problems with playing a "Vanilla" Fighter in C&C.

The class is very solid as is.

serleran,

Feel free to add my site to the list now. I have enough up there now, to longer feel "embarrassed" at the lack of completion.

Anyway...

I think what you have come up with may work out fine Moriarty.

Let us know how it works out in your campaign.
