Troll Lord Games

<r>This was planned as a short two, to three session C&C game with two players based in part on an old module, Little People, from Polyhedron #64 waaaaaaaay back in October 1991.<br/> <br/> We ran this one back in January. <br/> <br/> The PLAYERS<br/> <br/> A lineup changer this time. My ex-gf d...

<t>well we're in the middle of the first game with this class. it's been a fun one and i'm running into problem areas i anticipated.<br/> <br/> mainly the number of times the machines can be used.<br/> <br/> i really need to put a more severe restriction on this one but i knew i would have to come u...

This is added to the chart the same as the Wizards bonus spells from high Int.<br/> <br/> Int bonus of +2 gives extra first and second spell level use, etc.<br/> <br...

<r>Hey all. One of my regulars has requested an inventor type class, originally wanting an Artificer but we slowly turned it towards a less magical and more steam-punkish powered class.<br/> <br/> Putting our heads together we cobbled the following, based heavily on bits from the d20 pulp Inventor c...

<t>waaaaaay late to the thread but.......<br/> <br/> i'm using a variant of the Call of Cthulhu D20 Experience variant, ie. there is an option in CoC D20 to raise the PC's a level every two adventures.<br/> <br/> i'm doing this but it's a level every 4 adventures. we're still keeping track of XP on ...

<t>nice!<br/> <br/> got the original minigame you did and much look forward to this.<br/> <br/> 1. do we really need a how to roleplay section? will it be most likely experienced gamers? if so then a how to rp section seems like a waste of space. <br/> <br/> 2. a how to gm section on the other hand ...
