Troll Lord Games

Of course the Fear power is limited to 5th level and below.... FEAR AURA: Any creature with five or fewer hit dice or levels is subject to the horrific aura of terror that surrounds the lich. So if you are throwing a Lich at 4th and 5th level characters, well they are dead already aren;t they ;P -MIke

Break out the buff spells... They are there for a reason.

Very sweet... I like the final pic with snow, that completes the journey nicely.

Happy News! Best wishes on the whole household.... [Two sons sounds like you've got a good game group building!]

UPDATE!!!!

6 Days to go, $84,500+ pledged... All kinds of extra goodies listed now. BUT if they get to 100K then a wooden black and gold box like the original 5th edition box set will unlock...... Anyone who was thinking about it should jump in!!!

Awhile back some of us went through the listed Magic Item creation system in detail. You'll find the thread here

[rant] You know what I'd like to see, take the d#$m flash app off the homepage. Seriously it takes forever to load. I'm sure there is an html5 solution for that. [/rant]

Apologies if that should be complaints.

I'm all good with "it's magic baby" I was just surprised that 3rd had them so small but I guess that's why they have the advancement rules. 2nd edition has them as "These giant birds are 60 feet long from beak to tail feathers, with wingspans as wide as 120 feet. " Which is bette...

I was looking over the Roc to get an idea of the size of it. the M&T doesn't really say other then large. 3rd edition has it as 30ft tall and 80 foot wingspan which is way too small to lift an Elephant. If an typical eagle can only lift 3-4 pounds a Roc would have to massive to lift an 13,000 po...

Funding is going fast and furious, good old Flying Buffalo, I'm in.

You can plug you kindle in and drag pdf's into the documents folder. They will appear on your kindle nothing else needed. However because of the screen size and fact the pdf does not scale prepare to go blind. :) The iPad with it's bigger screen is a better reader for these kinds of RPG pdf's. You i...

Latest Word is "Go"...! John posted on Facebook that he is shipping today. Not sure how many went out but the fact that some left today is awesome news!

Umm change the level requirement to enchant :) I think technically RAW is 9th level Wizard/Illusionist at least that is what page 88 M&T says. [12th Cleric/Druid] But it also says x3 level per enhancement bonus which opens the door to changing how you handle this. In my game a 3rd level wizard/c...

Any chance it was filtered as spam on your end?? Not that I don;t fully believe the web server is most likely at fault I'm just saying....

These are all great points, especially on the role of the cleric, which is one of my favorites and one of the most difficult to play well. I will add that with my house rule that allows swaping in the last 3.5 years it's been used less then 5 times and never for healing :). [Of course the current gr...

You guys really need to fix your store front. It is once again failing to send me a new password request. I went through that awhile back also. The only thing Steve could do to fix it was to delete the account and have me re-register. Yeah, :( Something certainly seems to get foobar in user databas...

I take this one step further in my game :) ## Reading a spell from your spellbook, or praying for a different spell. Characters may swap spells if they successfully make an ability check [INT/WIS] with CL being the level of the spell. Failure means they lose the spell for the day, success means it w...

Anyone who is interested can find the 4th Edition Tunnels & Trolls Rules on Drivethrurpg now, here is the best part, at the original price of 4 bucks. http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/108306/Tunnels-%26-Trolls-Rules-Version-4 This was T&T in 1977, warts and all. I love the art work and ...

In reading the situation I think the Orc Chief would quickly loot a few obvious things then get himself to safety with the intention of send back some lackys to deal with the clean up..... This gives you a chance to let the Cleric live. The gnomes could come to check on them and find the mass carnag...

Sorry. Been busy with training for the new job... Anyway, Omote is right about the Palladium book. And, here is a snapshot of the cover of Monsters! Monsters! Galore! http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f200/serleran/MM-MG.jpg I see.... Well I see 1 at ebay and 1 at noble knight, neither price seems ...

Monsters! Monsters! Galore! [Flying Buffalo] What is this "Monsters! Monsters! Galore!" and how does it differ from their classic and recently reprinted "Monsters! Monsters!" ? If there isn't a difference then you can grab a copy off of Flying Buffalo's website as of right now. ...

Crappy to me would be 3 or more stats of 8 or below without a 16+ is a single stat. I find on average we get usually 1 16+, 1-2 13+ and the rest in the middle with 1-2 9- As I said I used 4d6 drop 1... Here is a pretty typical sample, this is 7th level Gnome Druid in my game who has amulet of wisdom...

I didn't bring up damage and weapons just because I was just talking class based theory & framework, but I agree Pixie without their bows should not being do damage or at least not much. I was thinking that Pixies would roll a 2d4 for strength which should give most of them a -1 or -2 to damage....

Monster PC's in C&C are detailed vaguely in the CK. Which is just how I like it as a GM :).... I was throwing some ideas around for a Pixie Cleric when thought I should jot some of these ideas down, then I decide I might as well share them. First thought, 3rd edition had all kinds of rules for t...

I basically agree with ya Treebore. PC's are meant to be heroic, it's part of the game, A bunch of crappy stats and the players feel less heroic. However I do not mind a low stat or two as a player or DM, I think it can make for a more interesting character. My all time favorite character started wi...

'Rats in the Walls' !!! One night long ago I was driving home very late and it was damn foggy here in SoCal and Rats in the Walls was being played on NPR..... It could not have sounded more scary. Between the fog, the deserted roads, and being totally exhausted the setting was just right for the scr...

I don't think you need any advice, you know what you need to do :) I will say that 3 players + 1 DM is probably a sweet spot. Games are fast paced and fun, all of my son's favorite games if been 2 or 3 players. Once you've started the new game the odds are are that if Player A & B want to actual...

[One issue would be, however, is what benefit does a magical suit of ring mail (for example) provide over an expert crafted one? Does it have both the +1 from expert crafting and another +1 from magic? At this point, the idea of adding damage reduction has some additional merit for me. Maybe the tw...
