Troll Lord Games

Sorry for the thread necromancy but what levels is the module pitched at, I couldn't find it on any of the listings?

Also, is it any good, anyone got a quick review? I googled but couldn't find a proper review from anyone.

From my point of view, no, not in my game.

nice one, I am also a game suitable riddle collector. I'll track mine down in the next day or two, select the good ones that aren't repeats and I'll post em up here.

But IMO solving riddles via a dice roll takes all the fun away.

yep lookin good now.

Probably do ok as the base for a pirate class IMC, if I just swap out one of the abilities for appraising or something.

<t>I'd assume the fighting on board ship allows them to climb and fight in the rigging just as easily, whilst others would suffer penalty.<br/> <br/> They have alot of combat abilities but no navigation or sailing type abilities.<br/> <br/> Perhaps you could keep this class as a dexterity based figh...

Very cool, thanks. Suits the tone of my upcoming campaign nicely.

<t>Interestingly the Transmute Flesh and Stone spell also specifically lists wisdom as the save, rather than the standard arcane magic.<br/> <br/> The spell is obviously not a gaze attack so I can only assume they meant wisdom to be the default save for stone to flesh effects. Although I suppose a C...

Splitter!!

<t>I like the idea behind the class, as a greek treatment of a monk (and agree the dnd oriental style monk is generally a clunky fit at best in most europeanish campaigns).<br/> <br/> I also feel you went a bit far with the powers. <br/> <br/> This may be a YMMV scenario but if an unarmed, unarmoure...

<t>The maps come as a seperate zip for download.<br/> <br/> I purchased the module as part of a bundle (a bundle I no longer see for sale there so perhaps they fixed/knew of this problem). <br/> <br/> At the time I had to ask for the download link to some of the items in the bundle to be resent (not...

this problem has been rectified.

He should also do all the parties negotiations, parleys and intimidation attempts in a Macho Man Randy Savage tirade voice.

Thanks, perhaps they are selling an old version?

Yeah I guess I just find Troll Lord in the member list.

<t>Just a query for the troll lords, I recently purchased the PDF of Mortality of Green from rpgnow.com. It is 18 pages but seems to be missing the maps which apparently come with the booklet version (24 pages). <br/> <br/> Is this deliberate? An oversight? Should I be taking this up with rpgnow.com...

NICE! thanks for posting that!

no worries, my head swims when I try to imagine anything bigger than a goldfish bowl so it really helps me wrap my head around how to scale things.

<t>Pretty nice treatment IMO, I'll probably use a few ideas at least for my next campaign. Hope to see a few write ups like you have done for individual devils.<br/> <br/> Did you do an overview for your treatment of devils like you did for demons here and I missed it, or just the individual treatme...

oh yeah

Has there been a C&C treatment done for mind flayers- official or otherwise- done yet? Copyright issues maybe? But some folks out there must have done them up by now. Anyone come across any good ones?

I suppose it depends which edition your personal reference comes from. I always get reminded of 1e considering the spell lists correspond so closely with the 1e seperation of spell lists.

Ah thanks, guess I wasn't the first to come up with the idea. What was the source of "shadow step"?

I can see a very nasty "master of shadows" bad guy coming up IMC.

I was thinking no, since it is a 6th level spell but that is actually an interesting idea. What do you think?

<t>Thanks, I tried to be as simple as possible with the descriptions, in keeping with what descriptions of spells in C&C I have read (just a random sample from the PHB really). <br/> <br/> It DOES leave open a few conundrums (is the "rider" in this plane? ethereal?

<t>I suppose it could work, maybe suit a swords and wizardry conan and hyboria type campaign. <br/> <br/> Not sure about all classes turning undead, I might have it that undead were only turnable if you were lucky enough to discover the secret method or item or whatever that turned each type, force ...

Um, you guys are all mixed up- Black Flag was a hell of a band though.
