Troll Lord Games

<t>A bit late for introduction and I don't post as most of you, but here are some details about me...<br/> <br/> I'm a Pro RPG Freelance artist. My real name is Eric Bergeron. I have over 1000+ Illustrations published. Although not many know who I am as I try keep a low profile most of the time sinc...

<t>I actually purchased all of the AD&D 1st ed. 6 times. Ironically I don't own them anymore either. <br/> 5 times was for having many copies since I ran 1 to 2 games daily at the time. (I had several gaming groups for a total of 68 players that I DM for.) My books fell apart like dry leaves. Th...

<t>Hey trolls, <br/> <br/> I really love my castle Zagyg book. But a few things would need some updates, like the knights having the knight class, updates to the skills system, the social class system etc... All in a neat box set since the next few books will be sold in such way. I'm sure other thin...

lol!

<t>This is odd, as I don't see why the game needs that much power to run. Judging by the screenshots I've seen so far, the graphic department looks average for today's standards. Maybe because they are using a lot of bump mapping? But still, I've seen far better graphics on other games lately that d...

Rhuvein,

I think it should be possible to have private sessions, even if I don't play much online myself. At least it was in NWN1. I pretty much just build modules. At least when I can, these days it's impossible for me.

<t>Rhuvein,<br/> <br/> The thing is, I've always played with minis and 3D props. Now it's been like almost 20 + years..., so it's probably why I'm so picky. I usually sculpt my own minis and terrain anyway. But once in a while I buy some pre-made "flat" terrain to surprise my players with.<br/> <br/...

<t>I've purchased a pack from WotC and I must say that I'm not a fan of this product. (I gave it away the moment I unwrapped it.) The only good thing to it is the thickness of the boards. <br/> <br/> The overall dungeon look of the tiles is way too boring and way too generic. Looks way too much comp...

Steve,

did you get my PM lol?

I'd love to have access to the CKG forums, so I've been trying to e-mail the trolls forever, but they don't reply at all? Even to other e-mail subjects for that matter...

It seems I missed a lot of other things too! Thanks!

I wasn't around for a while, Im quite busy with work these days. But do you guys have a link for this?

Thanks.

Let the games begin!

<t>For my players they either do it as in the PH or they do it with my following custom method...<br/> <br/> 1d6 +7 So this way, no one gets a 3 lol, and this keeps the power gamers at a fine distance! <br/> Whatever method they chose, I also let them train their stats like this...<br/> <br/> Withou...

<t>In the M&T book everything is listed all right. Your grizzly bear would give XP like this... <br/> <br/> 280+6/HPs<br/> <br/> If the + isn't listed, then go for +1/HPs. Add +1 for each special ability. <br/> The Monsters and Treasure book is great and everything seems to be crystal clear, at ...

<t>I don't use the basic C&C XP system so I hope I'm not leading you the wrong way. But basically if I were using it, it would sound like this to me...<br/> <br/> If a creature has 125XP+5 per hit points (Say a wounded creature with only 6HP to make this quick.) (125 + 5X6) = 155 XP total.<br/> ...

<t>The most important factor for me is the siege system and the quickness of character creation. As a Game's Master I can concentrate my efforts on story telling/making rather than hundreds of time consuming rules which in my mind takes away the spirit of role-play. Oh and the books are far more aff...

I did a good one and sent it to the Trolls. Davis told me he would try to distribute it somewhere. It's a sheet intended for Castle Zagyg, but has all the info you need for C&C as well, I mean everything you can think of!

I wrote one up, but it is not "official."


Should help you. When I get to the Gods and Demons book, I'll have it more refined and specific.

Any chance you'll add Orcus to that list?
