Troll Lord Games

Bummer that Courtney Solomon is still involved. But maybe they’ll get things right this time. I’d love it if they somehow got The Gamers crew involved with it, even as just part of the supporting cast. I am not optimistic. The old "Fool Me Twice" bit... Besides, a fellow gamer [with whom ...

Just in time. The movie industry is imploding due to crappy products. I pray that the Director and writers are very familiar with the game (although I'm not holding my breath) or it will not get the feel correct.

Taking into account like you said, that the people involved are good guys, I don't understand non-artistic flubs that are editorial in nature. MANY here have offered for no fee, editing work on new products before release.

How 'bout Joe?

I'd let them have whatever mundane gear that they can themselves carry (within reason. No backpacks full of expensive magnifying glasses, etc.). About 50gp equivalent in cash and a 25% chance of a magic item valued at 1,000 gp or less.

Notice they didn't grab the CKG.

Yep, makes sense. The worst you get here is 'gators.

It certainly doesn't help when they are intentionally under funded by Billions and ordered to scratch people from the rolls, both VA and SS. SPECIFICALLY us Veterans. Its no wonder why they don't have enough Doctors and Nurses and other staff to take care of us. Hell, even the food for us stuck rec...

The piney woods where I live its 94 degrees and 97% humidity. It's tank tops or keel over.

Very clever plot line. High production value.

Welcome! I hope the shipping goes better this time around.

Nice to play a game where guile & subtlety are important.

Whenever you rotate ties you must ALWAYS rebalance if you want to make sure... Most of the time it is fine but not always.

TrollCon as in Troll Lords...

At low levels it is MUCH faster. Yeah, the first three levels can zoom by in about three adventures. After that, it starts to slow down. Hmm. That'd be my first tweak. I always liked the idea of characters being 1st-level long enough that 2nd feels earned to the players. It is also, by FAR, the har...

"Dark" has certain connotations in the English language...

Dec 31 will be last day SJG's can sell its PDF's of Traveller.

I've seen it played like that before. I've done it too. Never had an evil cleric with a good group before though. That would last about 10 seconds.

Annok, you can always use the rule that if a spell caster takes damage in a round when they are casting a CT 1 spell, they lose the spell. No concentration check. That creates a dangerous situation for spell casters who meet high level fighter types. That 10th level Ranger is going to pepper that wi...

Kill 'em all and let the cleric sort them out!

That's why I require spells that require a full round to cast (almost all of them), go off at the END of the full round. At high levels this can generate a M.A.D. situation...

KeyIXTheHermit wrote:But you do adjust them? That is, the reduced Con means lost hit points for the character?

Yes. That is how it has been done since AD&D days. Since C&C is really designed as AD&D 3rd Edition, I carry that flavor/paradigm forward.

I don't adjust the HP during the "encounter". If it is a permanent Con drain I adjust a day or so later.

One of the (legitimate) critiques of C&C I have encountered is the absence of 'progressive' saving throws generated by the SEIGE engine. This is particularly the case when a non-PRIME character is going up against a spell-caster of similar level. For example a 10th level Ranger makes a save aga...

Helpful tutorial Traveller. thanks a bunch!

Hope I make it to Count. Then I get cereal!

What, you never heard of the Count of Monte Crispos? (rimshot)

Count is above a Marquess? Someone needs a lesson in precedence.

Congrats on your title!

Could be fun. Or, funny.

I'll be honest my minion character would spend a lot of time running around yelling and plotting devious evil things

All the better!
