Troll Lord Games

<t>Well... I've been running an adventure filled with tripping and so this is how I've house ruled it so far... somewhat modified from the way I did it to take in some ideas in this thread...<br/> <br/> TRIPPING...<br/> <br/> The attacker rolls a d20 and adds his DEX modifier. Defender's armor class...

Those are awesome!

I don't paint, I collect the WOTC ones. Their cool especially when I've got the needed quantirties, but no way are they as nice as yours!

Great job.

<t>It's funny you mention this today of all days. I just drove one of my best friends to the airport, to return back home to Germany. As posted in one of my earlier messages on these boards, I ran a one time high level campaign where my friends character was old and dying on his death bed. We flashe...

<t>I found that spell casters were the real big hitters, but still had the weekest ACs & HPs. They can attack but have to be very carefull when they decide to withdraw or how much they risk getting mixed into the action. Spell casters should spend half their time attacking and the other half boo...

<t>I ran a one night 20th level special game with 8 players! It wasn't too bad and the fights DO NOT drag as in 3.5 .... well except that the spells took more time to resolve due to us being inexperienced with most of them. The amount of damage you do at higher levels, seems to offset the HP and the...

OUCH!
That's why I have my OWN account that my wife can't touch!

Sorry to hear about that. Man! I guess she aint getting a christmas gift this year!

The way I read it is that if the horse is not a warhorse, then he has trouble controlling the horse and suffers the penalty.

<t>Isn't Nox Arcana a metal type band and doesn't their tunes include lyrics? I'm not much into lyrics but I do constantly look for new material. I'm running low on new music for my game.<br/> <br/> The Dracula soundtrack is being plugged quite a bit in this thread - now I got to get it!<br/> <br/> ...

<t>Well.... I did it!<br/> <br/> Of the three remaining players in my campaign, 1 is leaving for Germany; the other is only there part time. When we concluded our campaign 2 months ago, the main character died, the part time players character survived (but he was only 2 sessions old) and the other s...

<t>The original 'red box' for D&D.<br/> <br/> I lent it to a friend of mine in high school who wanted to learn to play the game. 2 weeks later he tells me his mom tossed it in the garbage because it is 'EVIL' <br/> I never could find another copy so I went and got the AD&D books instead. Rec...

<t>I was wondering what others might think of this idea I have<br/> <br/> Basically, a player of mine is leaving for good. Hes going back home to Germany so I wont see him anymore and his dwarf character will never be a part of my game again. The last time we played with his character, another playe...

<t>Hey!<br/> <br/> Just a quick question...<br/> <br/> I already have 2 copies of the PHB and my players have finally gotten one for each of them as well. I however at times work on my stuff from the office so I don't have my books with me. I was wondering if the C&C Lite version has all the spe...

Maybe that's why he runs the game!
Thanks. I'm considering downloading it and for only 10 bucks, why not!

We'll see...

<r>I was roaming around the net today and I came across this game system that is designed for kids<br/> <URL url="http://www.firefly-games.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=47&osCsid=7328230b74383d1dfecbfde62eb322d1"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.firefly-games.com/catalog/pr ... e62eb322d1"...

<t>I've been away from TV for so long, aside from the occasional Survivor night with my kids who love it, so I was a little reluctant on returning to it, but I did. I ended up recording a bunch of new series that seemed to be interesting and were NOT reality TV (I've had enough of that!). I quickly ...

<t>He did say to his wife at one point, that he wasn't going to be around too long so he has to teach his daughter all he can now. It seemed like he's planning on moving out soon and he's the only one with internet access in town. He's definately an interesting character.<br/> <br/> I just hope this...

I read a rundown and I hope they rerun it. It sounded interesting.

It was OK. I find the whole concept a little disturbing, but that's what keeps me watching.

In the last episode, it looks like the USA is retaliating against an as of yet unkown enemy.

<t>I've never really worried to much about time keeping in an RPG unless it was critical to the game. I've tried various ways to keep track of time, but none that have satisfied me. I'm going to run a short 4 hour adventure one day soon at a local store, and it is imperitive that I keep strict time ...

Did anyone catch this? I was at a funerl visitation and missed it. I tried DLing it from innertube but my connection doesn't run it right.

I also missed it but I watched it off the CBS website. Try it.

I'm glad I did.<br/> <br/> They basically took the old I6 module and added to it, changed VERY LITTLE and it is now much more robust... IMO!<br/> <br/> Of course they released it to make...

<t>Here is a question on scrolls...<br/> <br/> I don't have any of my books on me (I'm at work...) but I came up with a kick ass idea for continuing my Ravenloft game this Friday, but it requires a Raise Dead. The characters are in possession of 2 raise dead scrolls and 2 characters are dead. One is...

<t>I also bought the new ravenloft book and I Love it.<br/> <br/> To say that 'I bet it will suck' without giving it any chance is just not right.<br/> <br/> Personally, I think the fans of the gaming genre saved D&D, not a company. It got passed on from generation to generation, and will contin...

<t>Hi!<br/> <br/> I've never really paid much attention to magic books, but last night my wizard player was detecting magic and I didn't realize what he really wanted. He had just leveled and was looking for spells to add to his collection. I have never really thought of a wizards magic books as bei...
