Troll Lord Games

Currently it's a homebrew, though Yggsburgh and the surrounding area is in there, and Bard's Gate is up north. In theory, the land is to the east of the campaign world I've had since 2e, Nevere.

Next time it will be Greyhawk, most likely.

Green Ronin did an Assassin base class that was pretty good, actually. As for the original article, oy. Just oy. I don't get the need to compartmentalize every singe aspect of the game. Heck, the over-reliance on minis is part of that, part of the need to quantify and have a rule for everything. You...

I believe Frost & Fur has a section on Eastern European culture and stats for running a campaign there.

I never thought of adding beer to a barbecue sauce.

When I need to saute something, I'll add a splash of bourbon or vodka (cheap stuff for cooking, never the good stuff for drinking).

It was a nice April Fool's joke...Good Lord Games.
The reality would've been cool, though.

<t>Seriously, Slimykuotoan is living up to his name!<br/> <br/> I seem to recall reading that the OGL cannot be closed, according to its very rules, but I could be wrong on that.<br/> <br/> And, yeah, C&C doesn't infringe on that which WotC has designated its own IP. Which is why there are no mi...

C&C truly is an amazing game. The first time we played it after switching from 3e, we truly felt free, unencumbered by needless rules. I'd heartily recommend the C&C screen and getting the Haunted Highlands module for low level and Fingers of the Forsaken Hand for higher levels. But really, ...

<t>I had a similar moment at a local coffeehouse that I hang out at.<br/> <br/> I was sitting in back, writing and drinking a hot chocolate when I noticed this group to my left with 3e screens set up and dice a'rolling. In 30 - 45 minutes, they had yet to finish a single encounter. In the old days, ...

Very interesting indeed. I'd have no complaints about a Paizo / Necro partnership.

<t>So, the gaming group I thought all but dissolved may be coming back together. In honor of this, I'd like to put together a really intense adventure.<br/> <br/> Immediately, my mind thinks "put a dragon at the end!" I have literally not used a real dragon in almost ten years (I pretty much OD'ed o...

I have mine. It's quite a beautiful piece of work; I can't wait to use it.

The module it came with looks to be cool, too.

The FLGS also just happened to have a copy of Vakhund: Into The Unknown on their shelves when I picked up my special order.

My CK screen special order is waiting at the FLGS, and has been since Wednesday.

I'll have to check to see if it's a double-cover or not. But I cannot wait to pick it up, even though I've had no choice but to wait!

<t>I'm glad to see that there's still some love for AD&D 2e, judging from the mentions here. Even if the product and setting glut hurt TSR, I still am finding cool products from 2e that I've never heard of or was able to find back in the day.<br/> <br/> And Jman5000, TMNT was a heck of a lot of ...

If I was held at gunpoint and forced to pick the best RPG product ever, I would probably spend hours debating. But at the end of that, I'd have to say it's the classic D&D basic red box set. The art, writing, and rules still hold up very strongly to this day. Omote wrote: Indeed these are the to...

<t>Asking the tough questions, are you? I don't believe that I could narrow it down to just one!<br/> <br/> The basic and expert classic D&D boxed sets<br/> <br/> Castles & Crusades PHB 2nd printing & M&T<br/> <br/> Forgotten Realms 1e boxed set<br/> <br/> Hollowfaust<br/> <br/> Vamp...

<t>Yeah, making Grendel sympathetic was entirely out of character with the original story.<br/> <br/> That being said, the film looked great. I was very glad to see that there was minimal-to-no cgi.<br/> <br/> On the subject of Beowulf, last month I saw a performer named Benjamin Bagby recite the fi...

Welcome to the Crusade! I am a librarian, and I still don't like sorting out 3e. Except for when I played 3e, I have always just eyeballed things when it comes to getting the right challenge. For villains with classes, like evil wizards, unless they're meant to be recurring characters, I generally d...

I haven't seen the new BBC series, but both the Errol Flynn and Disney Robin Hood films are fun. "You speak treason!" "fluently." I even liked Men in Tights, though it had me wishing that it had been a straight telling of the legend starring Cary Elway. Orpheus wrote: Starting fi...

Very true. After not collecting for close to 15 years, I found myself back in the comic store. Granted, I only follow about 3- 4 titles, but that suits me just fine these days.

<t>Depending on the size and strength of the group, I'd say around 6 encounters or events seems fair. At least, that's what I generally work with, per adventure.<br/> <br/> But not all of those six encounters should be combat-oriented, in my opinion. I'm fond of throwing in traps, puzzles. red herri...

I never followed Captain America, but that's pretty lame - Captain America, taken out like a mook!

I'd say it's like when DC killed Superman and crippled Batman. Except back then, we knew it wouldn't last. Marvel has seemed pretty serious about the whole Civil War thing.

We had a lot of fun with the module as well. And the mummies were a tough fight at the end the gaming group as well. It was a close win, but that's how it should be, right? The Grey Elf wrote: Overall, it was a fun mod; my group almost got TPKed by the mummies when the cleric failed to turn, but the...

<t>Now, I love the John Carter of Mars series. I'd love to blend that, C&C, and old Spelljammer materials into a campaign one day.<br/> <br/> Now, that involves putting guns, albeit fantastical ones, in the game, most likely. <br/> <br/> Which would you do?<br/> <br/> Right now I'm leaning towar...

Agreed. Even a +1 sword becomes exciting when you talk about how a one-eyed dwarf, Durzak Ironhide wielded it 600 years ago at the Battle of the Bleeding Mountain, slaying the orc chief in a single swipe, after which the blade was passed from generation, until a coward goblin poisoned the current wi...

I noticed that there seemed to be a difference of opinion as to what's going to happen. It may very well be that you are right about a split. In any case, news of Necro being in trouble hits like a punch in the gut. Hearing about the cool stuff Necro was doing was really responsible for getting me b...

<t>Here in Pittsburgh, I stopped by the FLGS to special order the CK Screen. I also picked up Revenge of the Rat King from Goodman Games. Anyway, when I mentioned what I wanted to order, the employee said that I was the second person to ask about it that day.<br/> <br/> I know I'm not the only perso...

As a vegetarian, all I can say is:

Hail Seitan!

Haha! I was so eeevilll.

Agreed! The way I see it, it's a case of a great game just getting better. Since the game has been so self-sufficient from the beginning (the boxed set), everything else just elevated C&C that much further. And Serleran, I'm sorry to hear about the choppy waters at work. I've been there, and hav...

Ditto. Hopefully tomorrow, but we shall see. There was a short period of time during 2e that I used my screen to smack irreverant and smart-alecky players - consequently, that screen is in the worst shape of all. I don't think I'll be using this one as a bludgeon. Maliki wrote: Time to head down to ...

I remember some grand old snowdays as a kid, when we used to alternate between playing in the snow, drinking hot chocolate, and playing AD&D.

I agree with Jungger...something Northernly-themed is definitely called for.
