Troll Lord Games

<r>Having the PC's crawl up from 1st level, I've noticed how much slower the progression is than 3.X (where you got one level up for every 13 encounters, roughly). Add a high number of players (six), and we're slowly chunking along.<br/> <br/> That leaves me to with options: give XP for treasure, or...

Or try Titan Games, which is always selling OOP stuff.

<r>I'm a dunjinni fan, in fact I posted a map I used in a recent game on these forums:<br/> <URL url="http://www.freeyabb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=777&mforum=trolllordgames"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.freeyabb.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... llordgames">http://www.freeyabb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=77...

<r>Well, people fight better than her, can cast spells, and every time she uses her Legend Lore ability and comes up short, another player tries it without the level bonus and does better.<br/> _________________<br/> <URL url="http://strangequests.wordpress.com/">http://strangequests.wordpress.com/<...

I was was just thinking, "my PC's just missed the stirges in my last adventure."

And as a CK watching a 1st level bard's player get increasingly frustrated with her character, let's give them all the help they can get.

<r>I think the confusion on SSS's part is because the PC's discovered that one of the suspects had a talisman that could cast purify food and water, and guessed that the device could cast its opposite as well. In the "story" it couldn't, but the killer knew that the victim had a dispel magic effect ...

<r>I've decided to expand the Strange Vistas campaign to offer more than just a simple blog. So here's the new website:<br/> <URL url="http://strangevistas.pbwiki.com/">http://strangevistas.pbwiki.com/</URL><br/> <br/> On another thread I asked about a person being disguised as someone else.

No, I'm betting that the disguised PC (a ranger) doesn't have CHA as prime

<r>Now here's an interesting conundrum:<br/> <br/> while I like your basic notion, the math doesn't add up in this case, because everyone is first level. To give a +2 and no level bonus, the non-illusionist PC essentially has the same chance as the illusionist (+1). Perhaps I'll just have the non-il...

<r>I know the Illusionist in question reads these boards, but I do have a few questions.<br/> <br/> First of all, the rulebook says that an Illusionist can use "a combination of magic and props to impersonate others." Can he disguise someone else (say, another PC) to look like someone else?<br/> <br...

I'm making a note now: Frankie dies first.

<r>Truthfully, I wonder if it'll get stale quickly. It seems that they did a nice send-up of the genre, but to do that over and over again would get to be a bit much.<br/> <br/> And honestly, the violence started to wear thin for me too.<br/> _________________<br/> <URL url="http://strangequests.wor...

<r>Obviously most people who are here are fans, so you are unlikely to get a bad review, but honestly the switch not only got some new "retired" players into the game, but really re-energized my own GMing. As I type I'm putting together an adventure, and not having to look up and calculate the feats...

<r>I've been wondering about this, because I'm about to send the PC's on a fairly long expedition away from civilization. I would hate to penalize the PC's on account of my own storytelling.<br/> _________________<br/> <URL url="http://strangequests.wordpress.com/">http://strangequests.wordpress.com...

<r>I'll chime in on the "dated" notion. Reading my R. Talsorian rulebook is funny, because in "2020" we have mechanicial devices that have been far surpassed in 2006. I think we have also realized that our fears and concerns in regards to a global, more technologically advanced society are well, rat...

I will not let rules get in the way of my cleverly conceived scheme!

Besides, that never crossed the players' minds, thankfully.

Sort of like "Grizzly Adams."

I'd also browse the forums. Amongst other things, you'll find the collection of previous "free downloads of of the week" in there.

SWWEEEEEETTTT!!!!!

I know what I will be downloading when I get home tonight - and for only $14.95 WOW!

Remember, that's the expansion pack. You need the basic dunjinni program to use it.

I always like HackMaster's "explanation" that the wizard's instructor gave him a full spellbook, and that the PC is slowly deciphering how the spells work.

<r>I actually got plugged into C&C when I a long thread at theminiaturespage.com regarding what was the best fantasy game out there.

After a very heavy role-playing intensive session, I found players more interested in roleplaying that just rolling on their Charisma, because their rolls sucked so badly.
