Troll Lord Games

My younger son started playing 2nd Edition ~10 yrs of age. The key I found was to only have them deal with a small amount of material at a time. Starting them with the fighter class is best as they learn the core mechanics with the least amount of stuff to remember...

The Nook and Itunes are much easier. But I've put a halt on all these releases until we can fix these problems. Should be sometime next month. Thanks! Steve I have a nook (e-ink). Can TL's post some screen shots in the appropriate product area when done with conversions? I'm expecting lots of B&...

Does Thorin Oakenshield look a little too Johnny Depp-ish, or is it just me?

You know it. Weird that they didn't make him look like a dwarf but, a human. Director screwed up.

Yes, it was. Hence my comment, "I can't comment on as you haven't given sufficient info (rules) in order to quantify what in game effect this would actually have."

Gotta disagree. Cleric and Wizards are not equal in power. Clerics have far fewer offencive spells. The cleric also will still need to reserve spells to heal. You missed the point. It isn't regarding relative power between the 2 classes. It is the mechanic affecting both. The need to choose BEFOREH...

Great picture. Have a good celebration.

Dead Horse wrote:I dont really see how this will be making clerics more powerful. It will make them more useful,

More "useful" = more "powerful". It would be similar to MU's casting at will instead of memorizing. Same mechanic, same power boost.

But as for the 2nd. Graphics don't translate to kindle very well, for one thing. It takes a lot of particular formatting of the base file to put graphics in, otherwise the kindle conversion process just flings all the pictures in the back in a big jumble. The pictures, being odd shapes, also make t...

I have been kicking around the idea of removing the clerics(divine casters) spell list. Instead of letting a divine caster write up a sheet of spells they memorise. I am going to keep a tally sheet of of the allowed number of spells per day. I will tally the spells as used. When a divine caster wan...

+1 to both of these points. As with anything, there's a learning curve. As the Trolls have figured out kinks, they've released an updated version to include the ToC. If it's something I really want, I bookmark it. Yes, I understand that I'm paying for the product, but the beauty of the eBook (Kindl...

Thanks for the info. I always get lots of gift cards for Barnes & Noble at x-mas. I have a nook. I was wondering how the indexing was, given that for this type of book, it is pretty much a must if using on an e-reader... Maybe I'll edit my PDF versions with full indexing and try to convert to ep...

If it's simply dulling the light part of the fire, then at the end of the day, you're just preventing humans from being able to see you at night. So what? Any demi-humans in the party make the spell, for all intents and purposes, useless. The heat signature from the fire will scream out at anybody ...

Did it once ~30 years ago. Got kinda boring as you eliminate all magical monsters, treasure, everything.

You hadn't checked out the CKG before? I've got one of the non-Walsorth CKG's. Still haven't read it cover to cover. I've perused it. There are things I would use to be certain. Expanded equipment and prices for wines, food, lodging, and the like, the expanded classes(as long as I can find publishe...

Just purchased CKG PDF. Awesome book. Like a well thought out hybrid DMG & UA. WELL worth the $!

If it dulls both the light and the heat portion, then it's certainly a higher level spell that would merit putting it into a regular spell slot and going without a casting of some other offensive spell (even if illusionists shouldn't be doing much of that). If it's simply dulling the light part of ...

That being said, since it's something that doesn't exactly serve as an offensive spell, why not drop it do a 1 hr/level duration, and make it a 0-level spell? It seems like more of a cantrip to me than a real spell that a character would have to burn (no pun intended) regular slots on. That would w...

Lord Dynel wrote:Back Attack specifically states that it is a melee attack

Um, that's my point.

What I meant was the original piece of wood would be consumed well before the spell duration completes, thus the actual effect should focus on the flame not the material. In reality it just gets reduced. It is still there. The progressive spell is improving with the caster leveling up, not becoming...

Arduin, I like the spell, though it seems quite powerful for a 1st level spell. Compare it to Darkness which is a blanket 20' radius and lasts 10 mins/level. This spell is a much more focused spell, and allows most of the benefits of having a fire, without the penalties, plus the long duration, muc...

Here is the text:

I have not bow hunted, though I've practiced archery numerous times. I see this as an issue with the armor (mobility) which I believe could significantly hamper any combat activity, from swinging a sword to firing a bow. The physics of being "hampered" still applies - you will simply not ...

Why can the concepts of "mobility" and "swiftness of arm" not apply to ranged attacks? A ranger would need both to draw a bow as much as to swing a sword. They can apply. But, not really relevant to shooting a bow once per round for +20 damage. It matters not how fast you draw a...

Wow, I dodn't even think about ranged attacks. I assumed Combat Maurader only applies to melee attacks, but I guess the ability really don't state that. You were correct. The answer lies in the armour restriction for the ability; "The use of this ability is dependent upon the armor worn. Weari...

So what they're saying is no OGL, multiple times they stated that the game mechanics will be different, they don't have levels, you won't be able to import characters, they won't use the same feats, spells, etc.

Not really "D&D. Sounds cool but, not what I'm looking for.

"Pathfinder Online has been described by Goblinworks as a sandbox with theme-park elements, with a developing skill system rather than levels. "

??? Not really using the rule set.

I stop short of steam & powder weapons. So, early 18th century sans gunpowder (which doesn't work in my world).
