Troll Lord Games

I house ruled that any magic items must start from a Expert item, so the magic armor costs in the book are all wrong , problem solved.

Grumble.... I thought I had all the books I needed.

-Mike

I hear ya! It's always sad when a game store closes. Still have found memories of all my favorite, long dead, stores.



-Mike

Is that like do you want Ice Cream with your Cake? Of course I want Ice Cream damn it!!!

-Mike

Awesome that's al I can say.....

Thanks for taking the time to tease us with the delights of your thoughts on this one. Clearly more then a few brain cells went into this.

Looks like we are almost back. As far as I could tell the host messed the databases up somehow. Looks like we are getting a restore that is a day or so old. Hopefully the theme will get restored also.

And keep in mind that they don't need to master the rules to the point of running a game. All they need to do is know enough about what to roll when, or at least be able to take direction from the DM or other players as to what to roll when. Heck, some of my adult players don't know which dice to r...

"Sure you can! This is Castles and Crusades, and you can be aything!" So he loaded up with weapons and sneaky gimmicks. Sure, I let him have anything he could find in the PH. He's my grandson! And then he started the game by waking up to find himself locked in a dungeon cell, having been ...

Wondering what the general opinion of this is.

Can Non Spellcasters use a charged Ring of Spell Storing?

Do you have more then 50 PM's in your Inbox? I think the default settings is to allow up to 50 then hold the new ones until there is space...... This can be adjusted, or changed to delete the oldest first,

Both my first characters died in my first adventure, this was 1979 in middle school. Zorro the Dwarf Fighter went down in a room full of berserkers about half way through the dungeon. Then sadly Ozar the human thief died when leaving the dungeon, there was "merchant" who was held captive t...

The BTB price difference from AD&D to C&C is pretty significant also

AD&D 120gp for 2-24 arrows
C&C 1000gp 10 arrows

Not sure if that's a factor in how you;d run it. I personal have them be reusable, it's easy enough to lose them, break them, etc...

Now he tells me

Updated pdf version on drive thru. Not 4th. They added bookmarks, etc. Only question I have is...anyone else's update come without the front and back covers? Those 2 pages are missing from the new version with bookmarks that I downloaded. -Scott I think they remove those now for size... Or somethin...

In my games spells seem to be a bigger issue then hit points for most of my players. Out of spells, time to rest.

The XP for the lurker seems wrong it is listed as 150 + 10 in the newest version and 150 + 3 in the first version. BUt 10 HD is min 600 -Mike Thanks MG! I think Peter got that one. But this book is lumbering off to press today. No more corrections. Thanks to all for your help! Trollzah. I will submi...

It's a dungeon that begs for the party to use Fire Trap/ Glyph of Warding/ Lock to add to the confusion of the temple faithful. ;) {SPOILER.. CURENT PLAYERS AVERT THINE EYES} . . . . . . . . . . . Also for anyone that has managed to get the Mirror of Mental Prowess they know it becomes much easier. ...

ToEE is interesting I've been going through it recently also trying to decide if I should run it soon or not. It's one of the dungeons that can be TPK, meat grinder if the party does the wrong thing. (Somehow forcing their way into the ruined tower and down into 3rd level on their first tip for exam...

The dragon at the moathouse might be an extreme challenge, if the party decides to be stupid and battle it.

?? I'm not remembering a Dragon?

-Mike

I remember Wizard's Quest, I used play that with a friend back in 1980. Haven't seen one in a long time. Very cool. (Top Secret and Gamma World also bring back memories.)

-Mike

Do away with Initiative, it made more sense in 1 min combat rounds, in 10 second rounds I just call everything simultaneous and with DM fiat as need to handle things like lost spells or great move on the pc's part no counter attack. Speeds everything up.

I find that I start feeling pigeon holed when using established pantheons. Me too! My biggest issue, though, is finding that the players often get apathetic (for lack of a better word) about a large pantheon of gods. They don't seem to care that much about a large suite of gods. I don't know if it'...

In the long run it will even out, bring half the village works great at 1st and 2nd level but as you noticed it will cut down the XP awards and the money thus slowing their progress. Easy adventures in reach will dry up and they will have t face tougher foes, These tougher foes will start to waste t...

Egg of Coat is our local expert on mini painting so if you are lucky he'll spot the thread and comment. Here are my answers in no particular order. No do not mix paints it becomes a pain to deal with. The thickness of the paint is super important you want to be thin like milk, the testors need paint...

I'm skeptical, there is no way you get a pony in the normal edition. I hear there will be special limited edition that has the pony.

I still can't get myself to remember "CK" or "referee" or "Nutball Behind the Screen." It's been "GM" for me ever since I gave up the title "Dungeon Master" because that seemed to urge me to torture my players. And I can't get the Spanish Inquisitio...

I'm in the always a CK/DM/GM these days, although I'd love to be a player in a detailed and log running campaign. That's my favorite thing. Last time I played like that was the early 90's, but I've had 2 one off's since then, otherwise all DM'ing for me but at least always in the same homebrew world...

words fail me

No Bard in your game? I like Class-and-a-half Bard/Druid Bard/Wizard Bard/Illusionist as solid options for people who want their Bard's to have more spell power.
