Troll Lord Games

So, here is my table from the CK's point of view. It is a platform with a sheet of grid paper off of a roll. That is covered by a large piece of plaxiglass. I can use wet-erase or dry-erase markers on it. Looks like the giant is about to break throught the portcullis; the party better come up with a...

So I am running Tegal Manor again at GenCon. Last year I used a 1e version Lich. I have reviewed the baddy in the M&T and I dont know about the party being able to survive that thing. It is the sheer terror of making the CL 18 saves vs. this thing. I get scared and I am the CK.....Mwahahahahaaaa...

We shoud take pictures of our game rooms/areas if we have them and share them here. I havew a corner of the basement (dungeon). It is nice having an area dedicated to my game.

I never really played 2e. That was about the time I got married and kids started to happen and I was so busy with family, school, and work that I gave up gaming for a while. I missed that iteration of the game. But I do understand it works better on the conversion for C&C.

I will be there Wednesday through Sunday. I ahve registered 2 grid games, one on Thursday evenig 6-12 and another on Saturday 6-12. I hope TLG gets a room and we can move my games there. I would love to do demos.

Well the Mind Flayer of the 3.5 edition, is clearly better to use unless you have imported psionic from 1e. The carrion crawler from 1e is best. I guess for some things like on the fly conversion, 1e seems best, but for power level, 3.5e is closer. Sometimes 1e conversion loses some power. C&C c...

OK, so time is running out on event registration. Early registration closed yesterday. I went ahead and entered two events, one for Thursday and one for Saturday. If the room is reserved, I am hoping my games can be placed there. This is something that really needs to get done lie yesterday. I have ...

Not taken as snarky, I work with engineers; I manage them. O guess I am snarky too. Anyway, I did not realize threr were that many. But yeah, the Umberhulk is missing. But we have the Owlbear. That was an original D&D creation too wasnt it? You know what is strange, is that saome iterations conv...

I prefer the spell like abilites versions. Psionics never stuck with my group and never seemed to fit right for me. I like the Mind Flayer though. So, why are the Mind Flayer and Beholder; IP? There are other TSR/WotC monsters that are used freely; so why not these two?

Hmmm...very nice ideas on both accounts.

Thanks guys!

Ok, so has anyone converted a Mindflayer to C&C? What to do with psionics? I thought I may make them into "like" spells and make them at-will spell-like abilities. Any ideas?

I like the grid for the same reason. Sometimes a combat is better explained with a 3d picture. It keeps some questions that would slow things down, from even surfacing. And, I have amassed a huge collection of minis, which are in very nice and easy organized drawers next to the table that I can get ...

Well golly, I had no idea there was controversy... I have both and as I remember, they were not all that different. I was giving thought to using a few of the classes. I want to dress up my NPC selection for my Wilderlands campaign. Keeping it simple however, is the key. I have been fiddling with di...

I use a grid on a raised platform in the middle of two 6 foot tables. Three players on each side. and me at the head. I have a huge collection of minis as well as a few dungeon dressings I like to use. I agree that too many fiddly rules for the grid is unappealing. I am burnt on attacks of opportuni...

Seriously, no one else has tried any of these out?

Hurry...the suspence is killing me. Do we have a room?

I got in at the unheard-of level of $200. My group needed books, they wore out the digest sized books....

Ok, so what is the plan? I was going to run another Tegel Manor adventure or something similar. I will hold off posting the game until I know what the Troll Lords are arranging. It would be great to have the games in the same room (grid and non-grid). But I am sure that would have to be coordinated ...

Does anyone use the C&C Rule Compendium? I like some of the classes I there and want to use them in my Wilderlands campaign, but I want to know if anyone has play tested them yet. Generally I will use them for NPC’s, but there may be one or two I would allow as player characters.

All three together.

It is just like a rogue at a certain level can move silently and hide in shadows at the same time. I think. Could be back attack.

Anyway, it means that he can lead the charge, inspire his comrades in arms and intimidate his foes while striking down his enemies in battle.

I made some changes; how does this look? AMAZON WARRIOR (Wisdom) The amazon female is a ferocious fighter. This class reflects that battle prowess and combines it with the innate psionic abilities of the amazon, heightened by her martial training. Amazon warriors are a nearly unstoppable fighting fo...

Ok, so how do we contact Steve and/or Davis and get this ball rolling?

Ok, I am runnin g a campaign in the Wildrlands and I am convering the d20 character class to C&C. I may have missed referrences to d20 here and want soem editorial help. Also, do you feel it is over-powered? if so, waht would yo crop, add, change? Thanks of for the help! AMAZON WARRIOR Level BtH...

I am really sorry to hear that. I ran two games and both were fantastic. I had one of the clerics actually coming up with chants and verses for turning undead. I sold 2 PHB's and a set of books (PHB/CKG/M&T). We need games on the grid to get the name out there. We need the room for demos and off...

Ooh....I knew I saw it. Thank your Sir Redwulf!

Diaper packed.

Ok, registration opens next Sunday. The Troll Lords spoke last year of having a C&C room dedicated to our Crusade. This is the time to get this rolling. I believe Piperdog was in charge. We cannot wait until the day before the con. Now is the time to get a room reserved. Anyway, I am willing to ...

Ok, the Hook Sword has a bonus to "overbear". I see no overbear mechanics in the game. This is the ONLY weapon with such an ability. I will ignore it, but this is what I am talking about. I assume overbear means to knock prone. I could not find it in Pathfinder but I remember reading it so...

Ok, so I did the unthinkable....I dusted off my Pathfinder Core Rule book (shame) and what they did was listed these weapons with special abilities like "brace", "reach", and "disarm" and give bonuses to them. I am quite happy with that as it can be easily codified back...

So, I think most of you know, I run a campaign in the Wilderlands. My current group is starting to travel so I thought I would get Tula, City of Mages ready. In Tula they have chromatic wizards. For those who do not know, they are wizards who specialze in a specific school. That is not an option in ...
