Troll Lord Games

Woo Hoo!!! Testify, brother!

No, can't do the Gith. WotC won't let anyone use them. Not part of teh SRD, which really sucks. I really wanted to give them a bit of an Airdhe-makeover. Incorporate them with the Winter's Dark somehow. Alas... WHAT??!! Y'mean I'm gonna hafta convert the Githyanki on my own from my original Fiend F...

Hmm, I'm guessing it's one from the old 'Fiend Folio', but which?

Githyanki?

Thanks for the table of contents link, Demiurge. Nice contents from the titles. I like pg. 81 - "How not to use NPCs". I mean, of course I learned that, but I think such a chapter will be especially useful to a new CK...and once I get a group together, I'm surely going to mentor one or two...

Me, I'm just overjoyed to have found C&C. Having started with AD&D 1st Ed. and never seeing the need to more overly complicate things with any of the following editions, I have a boatload of old modules (can you say, "Hidden Shrine of Tomoachan" and Judges Guild, etc?). So now I ca...

Does anybody here have something made from snake skin? Or has worked with snake skin or lizard skin? (They might know...) RE: If you consider the hide is a living part of a dragon's body, the AC is so tough because it gets renewed, heals, etc, yes? And would the now-dead hide lose that? So, maybe pa...

BINDING PROBLEMS!?

Heck, you Trolls got the originals....so just page through until
you get to the section on BDSM and bondage and such and...

wait! You did put in that section, didn't ya?

"The book be cursed!!!" - So, you're telling us that every time we
pick up the CKG we better have a remove-curse spell (MANY of them)
handy if we want to switch books and actually use the PHB or M&T?
That's how cursed items work, right?

I'm with Omote on this: very much intrigued reading how the adventure is going. Thanks for sharing.

The Copper (or Green) Archons (concerned with love, art, and feminine matters), says: "I'll now give you an overview of the comic, 'Archie'."

Seriously though, good stuff here. Nicely done. It's like the Illuminati meets Time Bandits.

Here's my 2-cents: Most folks are naturally helpful if asked. So, call each one in your gaming group and invite them for a coffee get together or such, explaining that you need their help with campaign ideas. Just that, no more, do not mention C&C. If pressed for more info, tell them you'll tell...

...and for the item to have a personality/ego, I figure somebody gave up their life to imbue it -- an aging hero who wants to keep on fighting, etc.

Treebore, I don't know of any myself, but I always used the AD&D 1e DMG sections covering properties of herbs, stones & gemstones, etc, whenever some player wanted to craft an item. IIRC, hematite was reputed to have some healing properties or helped healing, so I'd rule that a healing-prope...

Hey, serle, I drive a Volkswagen!! But, heh-heh, am not
offended by that remark since it ain't a Jetta.

Yep, I'm old school - my VW truck is a '62.

Damn, Kris, you got some wowzers in here! Thanks, these are quite cool! Many years ago, one of my players (fighter) found a magic, intelligent sword. A few games later, the thief found a magic, intelligent dagger. They were a matched-set: male persona sword, female dagger. The fun was that the fight...

Nice ones there. One I came up with many years ago: Magic Hat - in appearance, just a somewhat battered black top-hat. Once per week, the wearer can reach in and pull out a white rabbit which, if thrown, will be persued by any and all monsters that are persuing the hat wearer until the rabbit is cau...

Or, you could just put 'em all into a rock tumbler and spin 'em
for 5 minutes....

GameOgre - oh me, oh my...yep, I totally misread that 2nd half of
your posting. Thanks for pointing it out - or, as Scooby Doo might
say: "Retro".

Should've read the torture section instead;

you always start small with torture and work your way up.

In other words: use the Defrost setting first, not High.

...GameOgre, you may be right -- haven't seen the CKG yet, so
I cannot comment on what the Advanced rules are.

yeah, way back when I had players they wanted just the basic us .vs the m stuff -- bit by bit I could build up the world by repeated interactions with certain NPCs, areas and such. I think what saved me was after the 3rd D&D game I ever ran (not 3rd Ed. but THIRD actual DMing of a game) - was th...

Personally, I'd like to think that the pre-CKG C&C rules would be that elegant, simple (but not simplistic) template used for tournament play, and other multi-player games outside of one's own home-group. That way, any C&C player could play (or run) a pick-up game with ease and familiarity o...

• Old school: the one before high-school • Retro: what Scooby Do says when there's trouble • Clone: Clone: • Simulacra: Deja same • Indie: Dr. Henry Jones Jr's "short name" • Sand Box: what I have to clean for my cats every day • Fluff: what I clean out of the dryer vent • Flamewars: what ...

...yes, quite popular. So popular that they want us to fly over there
so they can marry us and fly back.

Happi gamer, me love you long time...

The WHO also said it best: "...meet the new boss, same as the old boss..."

Of course what you want is the other part of that song: "We won't get fooled again, no, no."

I'd use what Lincoln already said:

"...government of the people, by the people, for the people..."

(I think that encapsulates what you're aiming for)

An example of this disconnet/reconnect change-stuff using RPGs actually is something I've done...although that wasn't my motive - 24 years or so ago (GawdsAndGawdesses, has it been that long?), when a member of a once-a-week game night, I decided to put together a different scenario the next time I ...

(geez, I had a loong response all typed out and the browser timed-out, so here goes again) - Thanks, Joe, for expanding on what you were after. When I said eggs will always get broken, I meant any change will always cause stress whether it's a personal revolution/change or societal. You're right, it...

"...without breaking any eggs?" Nope, I don't think that's possible -- we're talking about a revolution here, both personal and societal...and you've gotta tear down the norm in order to replace it with the new. There have been bloodless revolutions, yes, but never any that weren't stressf...

umm, maybe because it's "Sword and Sorcery" and

not "Hammers and Sorcery"?

And, to add to what's already been alluded to:

Nobody says, "Hey, babe, wanna see my hammer?"
