Troll Lord Games

<t>If you can't wait, I'd suggest Silver Age Sentinels. The system is D20, so it's somewhat familiar. The only downside is that the types of powers are fairly limited. There are rules for making your own, but they are complicated. Still, if you work out the kinks, it's pretty darn fun. You can play ...

<t>I'm a pretty big fan of the genre (ever since once upon a time in the west), and finding a good roleplaying "western" system has proven difficult. I've had to use a mixture of D20 and Gutshot (a western miniatures rules set. Really fun.). So I just might pick this up. But they must pass the ultim...

<t>Wow. Favorite non C&C RPG's? Well, I've just about played every RPG under the sun, or at least every system, including the strange lands of "Indy" role-playing games, such as Inspectres and Prime Time Adventures, even Dread. So you must understand how horribly torn I am right now. <br/> <br/>...

<t>It's that time of year again. Families getting together, children running around, long evenings sitting by the fire, and convincing uninitiated relatives into playing a board game other than monopoly.<br/> <br/> So let's hear it. What board game will you be playing this holiday season? Maybe a br...

<t>Yeah, I have a HARP book, but I got it from a friend who moved away and could only bring his personal favorites as far as systems went. And since I have the C&C books, I haven't really taken a look at HARP. Is it any good? Is it worth running? I only get to role-play about one every week, som...

I aim to please.

Pun intended.

Sounds pretty cool. I hope that it meets my expectations. I'm used to the overly-complex Silver Age Sentinels (the skill system is retarded). I hope that I can run a sort of "Watchmen" style game with almost no powers, but in a "super-powered" universe.

<t>I was wondering if anyone had considered the possibility of a super-hero-themed, SIEGE-based roleplaying game. I mean, I think that it would solve a lot of problems with other D20 superhero RPGS (the skills system in Silver Age Sentinels, perhaps). Does this possibility appeal to anyone else, and...

<t>Once, to give an original flair to a dungeon crawl, a friend of mine used black-haired gnolls. They were extremely savage to us, since we were used to fighting orcs and goblins. But the first decimated corpses we found, half-eaten, made us suspect something other than goblinoids, and that night w...

<t>I think that you misunderstood what I am saying. I said that they would be exception to the rule, just as haf-elves are spawns of exceptions to elvish societal rules. Is it unlikely that a dwarf would mate with a non-dwarf? Yes. It is it unlikely that some dwarves somewhere, renegades, vagabonds,...

<t>I bought the books, and immediately regretted it upon playing my first game. <br/> <br/> The game is not bad. But, in the same way that the new star wars movies sucked, it sucks. It has a legacy to uphold, a legacy that it has consistently tried to destroy since 3.5 (although I like 3.5 and playe...

<t>Yes, it is an anthropomorphic role-playing system. And yes, it is completely awesome.<br/> <br/> I picked up themain rulebook at a new-years day sale at my game store. The cover art was a bit embarassing, and if you have seen the cover, you know what I mean. But as I flipped thorugh the book befo...

<t>I live in a little town in southern Illinois. I would like to live in MO, but I'm stuck here for a few months. But I can recommend it as a relatively rural place with gamers. Considering this is Gary Gygax's home state, gaming is popular in some areas in Illinois. The town of Carbondale is prime ...

<t>I think that it's unfair that people say that dwarves wouldn't mate with non-dwarves because of their "xenophobic" tendecies. I think that it could instead be called jingoistic or nationalistic. <br/> <br/> And plus, aren't elves rather "xenophobic"? And yet we have half-elves. I agree that it wo...

<t>I agree that it can be a chore. I mean, two "breeds" of half-elves is complicated enough. But all the same, it would be interesting. Plus, what if it were a homozygous (spelling) dominant or recessive trait? What if, like the Roloffs of Little People, Big World (I love that show), there would be ...

<t>Nice story! Everyone has a different story of how they got into table-top rpg's. One of the things that got me into Castles and Crusades was the fact that the rulebook was far less expensive than the DnD 3.5 books. And now with 4th edition DnD out, well, end of story. It is way easier now to pers...

<t>I suppose that my argument is either an argument for half-dwarves or against half-anything else. Because why would an elf go with a human and have a child? I mean, they live much shorter lives, they have different values, etc. But of course, there would be exceptions to this. As there should be w...

Tremors was obviously his greatest performance. And his cameo as Julio in No. 2 is just great.

Just kidding. There is no cameo. Except for the Graboids.

Friggin' shriekers. We want graboids.

<t>Okay. Considering that this is an off-off brand of rules questioning, I decided to keep it out of the rules thread. The question: Why are there no half-dwarves? I mean, wouldn't dwarf women be the ideal wife? And it's not like they're terribly unsightly. I mean, look at the female dwarf Reaper mi...

Sounds awesome. I've been toying with the idea of running a sandbox-style game. Do you mind if I steal some of these ideas?

Why thank you. I thought that the name of the module was a little too ridiculous to pass up =) .

<t>Yeah, they're expensive. But you can't put a price on awesome.<br/> <br/> Plus, as far as expense, the reaper miniatures aren't toooooo expensive. I usually just use a pre-painted figure for the bad guys, the type you can get from ebay, like old Mageknight or DnD miniatures stuff. Afterall, what'...

Share his conversion? Probably not until we're through with it. Afterall, we don't want to know what's going to happen. And I agree, it is reminiscent of ye olde-tyme DnD modules.

Once we're done with it, I'd be happy to let you know what he's changed.

<t>I've owned the C&C books for about three years now, but I hadn't really started playing frequently until the release of 4th edition DnD (shudder). And by playing, I mean running the game, seeing as I'm almost the only one running in my area. But a few days ago, I actually got to play in a gam...

<t>Personally, I don't give xp for treasure. My players were a little starved for XP for a while, so I started adding a few more lucrative opportunities for XP. You might try these out:<br/> <br/> Bad Roller XP: There's always one person in a group who rolls notoriously poorly. So to brighten their ...

<t>I had the good fortune to play a game of C&C the other night. It's been a while since I played (I mostly run), and it gave me an interesting perspective on the rules. And with this new perspective, I began to question a few things about the rules.<br/> <br/> I am an enthusiast of historical w...

<t>Alright, I got my first reaper miniature the other day, a female dwarf cleric. I liked the quality so much, it was the first mini that I bought and painted in one day. And I am notorious when it comes down to painting, or rather not painting. <br/> <br/> So seeing as this miniature turned out so ...

<t>So I recently picked up a catalogue of Reaper Miniatures. <br/> <br/> I was wondering if there was anyone else out there who used these miniatures in their games. I have used miniatures before, but I have been limited to those pre-painted DnD miniatures, and those are fairly limited in selection,...
