Troll Lord Games

It was High Medieval and I dled the sampler. All I have to say is I may have to pop the $40 bucks and try it out. Looks like it is right up my alley. Quote: Another thing with Ptolus, if you had/have a problem with how high magic the FR setting is, Ptolus is just as bad if not worse. Other that that...

<t>Interestinly enough I have become interested in High Medieval. Maybe for something to use with C&C and maybe for attempting to build one of my dream campaigns. Yeah I love C&C but I love that TLG helped spearhead the new Rules Lite movement better.<br/> _________________<br/> The Lord of ...

From what I've seen so far, the ruleset hardly makes an appearance and of course that's true for other editions as well in an online game. So I guess what I'm sayin' is, a 3.X game could conceiva...

gnombient wrote: Are you referring to High Medieval by Morrigan Press? If so, it's actually a pretty good system-- it's the D20 mechanic that's used in Talislanta 4e, aka the "OMNI System". Now back to your previously scheduled thread... That sounds familiar. I'll google* it and see what ...

Mine are more steam powered but that sounds interesting.

<t>While digging through old notes on my homebrew I found some things I did on the possiblities of airships. This is something I have debated back and forth and could see both sides of the issue. <br/> <br/> I was wondering what everyone else thought of them. It seems some love them and some hate th...

<t>I agree mostly with the above. I thought 3 was jsust as good as 2 and 4 but maybe it was because for my birthday my mom took me to see it. However over time I've growm to like 4 less. Odd that but then again I'm burned on Treks time travel plots as a whole. (thank you Rick Berman)<br/> <br/> Ther...

<t>The SIEGE engine blows d20 out of the water in terms of flexibility. The beauty and selling point is that it can do anything d20 does with less hassle and better results. <br/> <br/> Wanna do something similar to a cleave or power attack? It's possible. Wanna tray to mimic another class ability? ...

<t>I think what we're seeing is the wheat and chaff seperations that come in new systems. There are those of us that swear by C&C and see TLG as the saviors of the rules light game. There are those that like the system and there are those that don't. <br/> <br/> IMNSHO we will loose some crusade...

Treebore wrote: Shadow creatures, and intelligent undead. Also, anyone else who follows his link, it takes you to the "A" page, click on "D". Then click on Dark Chateau to read the whole poem. If nothing else its a good inspiration for an adventure, and a great Bardic Poem to us...

While googling I discoverd this poem Dark Chateau.

Now the question is how to incorporate it into the module.

I agree that inflation has something to do with it but not this much. And Ptolus is a big friggin book but, after the World's Largest Dungeon it seems there are more and more high tag items coming out these days.

<t>I know what you mean. I was interested in Ptolus but the $120 pricetag turned me off. I liek alot of Monte's work but not that much. there was also a new Medieval Fantasy game that claims to be rules light and can be played with a single d20. I thought of getting it for idea mining and maybe a te...

Congrats!! My girls are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Though if there is a Grimmspawn #3 I would like a boy.

<t>I didn't even know they had them in print yet. They also had a nice Dungeons and Dragons chess set and I got to look at Ptolus and the new Ravenloft book. <br/> <br/> Problem there is not enough cash and TLG has me spoiled on pricing.<br/> _________________<br/> The Lord of Ravens<br/> My blog</t>

They could add a way to keep track of PC's killed.

You'll also find that off the cuff adventures are easier than even AD&D was. I have run full sessions with no notes and just seeing what happens and there were no issues at all.

<t>So the wife and I had to go to Springfield to sell a puppy and so while we were there I had to stop by the gameshop. (Metagames for those keeping score). The last time I was in there I got the only C&C module they had in stock. <br/> <br/> So I go in and as luck would have it they had just go...

<t>I am currently looking at focusing the sites attention to settings off published worlds and to those created by players and CK's. There are many sites to discuss published worlds and RK can add nothing further there. <br/> <br/> Those interested need to see the following thread found <br/> here.<...

<t>I'm finishing an article I am writing for the Domesday book and have begun work on a madule submission for DF. I am also starting conversions and compilations to kick off the beginning of my "itar Project" which will detail A world I have been working on for nearly a decade.<br/> ________________...

<t>Depends on the mod for me. I tend to change them up or use them as outlines. For example I ran Dark Chateu and the group hated the second floor (as did I) and they made it to the attic where they were TPKed by a gas trap. After reviewing it I am going to make changes that fit our style and remove...
