Troll Lord Games

<t>Here is the thread for all questions, finished characters and general out of character banter regarding this pbp.<br/> <br/> These are a few general guidelines I like (and have edited somewhat) from a pbp run by an aquaintance on RPGNet. I have changed a few of the basics, however I like the main...

<t>I will be adding In Character and Out of Character threads later on today for the pbp. If everyone has their character done, with equipment, please post it in the thread.<br/> _________________<br/> "All that we are destined to behold will reveal itself at the proper time," said Eibon.<br/> <br/>...

Weird Tales is definately still around, but it doesn't seem to have the same magic as the old one did. Maybe its just me. Of course back in the 1930s that stuff was so very fresh!

<t>My suggestion to the Troll Lord was that this section would accomodate all forms of online C&C gaming, mIRC, pbem, pbp and any other versions of gaming online out there so that we may all see what is happening online in the C&C gaming department.<br/> _________________<br/> "All that we a...

<t>Thank you for the change. I actually had returned the PM before I saw the section and Steve had asked me what the section should be called. I figured this way that other forms of C&C games online can be posted in the section as well, mIRC transcripts, pbems, etc. Just a thought to encapsulate...

<t>Welcome aboard. Your story sounds like many others, including mine. DnD has become a ponderous beast for many, and it is just much easier to unload the 3.x mentality and get into C&C and play a game the way you want to.<br/> _________________<br/> "All that we are destined to behold will reve...

<r>There is this: <URL url="http://www.swordandsorcery.org/">http://www.swordandsorcery.org/</URL> for your s&s needs. There are a number of new sword and sorcery stories in the works which will be released in the next few years. There is also a Yahoogroup that consists of S&S writers. (I kn...

<t>I am expanding upon a few maps and trying to incorporate challenges for everyone into the game, as well as making a chart for Akrasia's character's alchemical abilities that makes sense. Also sort of holding to see if there will be a PbP section, but that isn't really a big issue, I can begin eit...

<t>That does look quite nice. I had tinkered with the idea of submitting my campaign setting (starting as a series of adventures that branches out), but decided to go with the pbp game here instead. I am using my setting for a non-game endeavor that I would rather focus on than an rpg supplement.<br...

<t>Yes, add 100 to your starting gold and you will start with maximum hit points. <br/> <br/> These might seem like "gimmes" or taking it easy, but don't be fooled. You will all begin set up nicely and it will go from there. Akrasia, is there a type of spellcaster that you would like to be eventuall...

<t>Many have pointed out that one of my favourite authors, Clark Ashton Smith, mentions unions between the living and the dead too much.

<t>Your character looks good, Combat_Kyle. As far as starting gold, go ahead and buy your gear, but everyone should add 100 gp to their starting gold for this goal. Details will follow.<br/> <br/> I did not get the world preview up, in case you hadn't noticed, a friend took us out boating for a few ...

<t>Sorry, Ogden, currently full, but I am not stopping anyone else from starting a game. <br/> <br/> Akrasia, it sounds ok to post here for the rough draft version then to put s polished sheet elsewhere. While I might be the CK, the game is always a group endeavor.<br/> <br/> Combat_Kyle, go for a 4...

Akrasia, would you prefer here, or should I make an OOC and an IC thread in The Crusades section?

<t>The characters so far sound absolutely fine. Tonight in this section I will post a world overview and give a few of the campaign details. Your characters can be as diverse as you like and you can throw in a background if you desire, but part of your background will involve happenings in the town ...

<t>I can cut it off at five and go from there. How does everyone feel about a pbp here in the section on games? Maybe two posts a week? I have seen a lot of daily post games die on ENWorld and I don't want to put undo pressure on anyone, including myself.<br/> <br/> Shortly I will have an overview o...

<t>Maybe its the rum, possibly the wine (just kidding, it is only the wine, I am out of rum for the moment), but is anyone interested in playing in an informal Castles & Crusades game via a play by post (or email) format? <br/> <br/> Things would be a little different from the norm, not terribly...

<t>Good to see that you got it. Castle Zagyg is an amazing book for use with C&C. I received mine with the three book (PHB, M&T and CG) sale in the slipcase. A very handy book.<br/> _________________<br/> "All that we are destined to behold will reveal itself at the proper time," said Eibon....

Thank you very much, I had overlooked that particular thread, I appreciate you posting that for me.

No problem, I am used to being the the one who is against the current, it seems we have fulfilled our roles here.

<t>Either way, it is really rather hard to take a creature the size of a gnome very seriously. Short bipeds are not overly frightening, unless they are really out there, like those things in the Phantasm movies, or those creepy little wraiths in Ghost.<br/> <br/> The factor of being taken seriously ...
