Troll Lord Games

<t>That would be a good way to get people hooked as well. They may not want to shell out the money for the print book, but may spend less on a curiosity glance.<br/> <br/> I wouldn't mind having a PDF copy so I can look at it at work. Not that I would do that... *whisltes*<br/> _________________<br/...

<t>I'm sort of expanding the classes to where they progress through all 20 levels. I've been toying around with the idea of two-weapon fighting myself. <br/> <br/> I was noticing how many of the feats in 3e revolve around giving a secondary attack, whether in melee or with a bow. I've made this a cl...

<t>I've looked through several sources on nobles now, including the DLCS, Game of Thrones, Wheel of Time, and even Green Ronin's Nobles HB. While they all have certain things in common, I'm coming to the conclusion that they all mostly mimic the C&C bard. <br/> <br/> So I don't think the noble w...

DangerDwarf wrote: If it's the DL Noble you're looking at recreating, I don't see much difference in them and the C&C bard. Yeah, sorry, I'm referring to the DL noble. I did notice that the bard is extremely similar. Quote: Legend Lore can easily convert to Favor. Just switch one ability for an...

DangerDwarf wrote: I'm curious, did you convert the characters from 3e to C&C and conitnue the series or did ya start KoD with C&C characters? I converted around the start of Spectre. I had done 3e throughout KoD. I should probably mention that I used C&C as a baseline and have added to...

Dragonlance, but that's a given with me. I'm running Spectre of Sorrows, part two of the Age of Mortals campaign.

Hey, cool, Gary Gygax was born on the same date my parents got married!

Happy birthday, Gary, and here's to 48 years of my folks being together. Woot!

Just got mine today as well. Multiclassing goodness galore!

Liked the article on multiclasses as classes, though I wish there was a fighter-rogue (almost typed "thief!") option.

Does anyone know of a C&C version of the noble class?

Thanks in advance.

<t>You could also try the substitution level mechanic found in Champions of Valor.

<t>I had wanted to pick up Castle Zagyg for some time now, but didn't buy it until the sale. From what I've read thus far, it takes me back to the days when I first read the old Greyhawk products.

<t>The One and All - You might try comparing the systems to show how they are similar to your players. Though C&C has an old school feel, it does borrow quite a bit from 3e.<br/> <br/> Also, feel free to adapt 3e material to C&C if you want. I use a variant of 3e's skills myself.<br/> ______...

I'm going to start a new thread, rather than detract from the old one. Traveller wrote: Barbarians can be duplicated by good role play rather than a specific class. This is an interesting point. I gave this some thought, and it occurred to me that "barbarian" could be considered more of a ...

<t>If memory serves correctly, the Halfling got a bonus with attack rolls with slings in AD&D. I didn't see that for the C&C halfling. Did I miss something in there or am I remembering that wrong?<br/> _________________<br/> Trampas Whiteman<br/> ---DragonHelm---><br/> Dragonlance Nexus</t>

<t>I'm just curious to know if you guys forbid certain races from taking certain classes.<br/> <br/> For example, a kender might be forbidden to become a monk due to lack of discipline.<br/> <br/> Thoughts?<br/> _________________<br/> Trampas Whiteman<br/> ---DragonHelm---><br/> Dragonlance Nexus</t>

<t>You know, that's what endears me to the C&C community. The focus is on role-playing and adventure. Compare that to the d20 community where a lot of focus seems to be on whether things are "balanced." I have to wonder if people actually buy a pair of scales and weigh these things. <br/> <br/> ...

This is why they invented the CODpiece of defense.

Of course the out of print DCC's are available as pdf's!

Even the convention-only specials?

They do not, officially, add together, though many, like myself, stack them, as a way to encourage racial archetypes (that is, halflings are better rogues than they are druids...).

Or you could roll 1d10 plus the Dex modifier for the players, then roll a d12 for the monsters.

No need to tell the players, of course...

As long as it ends up at Amzaon for around $44 like the Wilderlands boxed set I'll be happy.

Saw it on Amazon for full price. Here's a link.

This really has a Known World feel to it, sorta like the old gazetteer products. I love it already.

I'm thinking I should start collecting these things.

<t>Are there any guidelines on converting AD&D weapons to C&C?<br/> <br/> I'd assume it would be as simple as using the S-M size category, then nixing any plusses or minuses.<br/> <br/> Note: I don't use encumbrance rules in my game, so that's not a concern for me. <br/> <br/> Thanks in adva...

<t>It's hard to give a mood to something that is, in essence, a tool. <br/> <br/> I'm going to say that it's default mood is standard sword & sorcery, in the same vein as AD&D/OD&D. From there, it is malleable enough to work for high fantasy, dark fantasy/horror, or any number of genres ...
