Troll Lord Games

<t>What I have found in play is that any monster that requires a save will likely be more lethal in C&C then its counterpart in D20.<br/> <br/> Otherwise, I find C&C monsters to be less lethal then their D20 counterparts in most cases. For example, I use ogres quite a bit in my campaign. If ...

<t>I have up to Chapter 4 converted to C&C. If you would like me to send you what I have feel free to ping me.<br/> <br/> We are taking it slow, I have thrown in plenty of other material. I mostly look to Goodman Game modules, Dungeon magazine, and even some of Paizo's new modules for ideas. Spe...

Quote: However, "adventure path" campaigns designed for 3E use a completely different set of assumptions for the pace of advancement. To me, it's a lot easier to just accept the break with assumptions/feel, rather than spend a lot of time and effort trying to mimic that advancement with t...

<t>I took out a subscription for a year of KQ. I have the first two issues. I havent had a chance to really read the second one. I mainly took out the subscription because I like Wolfgang's work.<br/> <br/> Both have an ecology article, similar to Dragon. The first issue covers the Derro and the sec...

Paizo is putting out some top-notch goods. The new issue of Pathfinder is indeed yummy.

I like their new modules as well. I thought their W1 module was fantastic, it has a nice sandbox approach with a timeline of events that keeps things moving along.

<t>In our current game where everyone is 5th level at the moment, I would definitely *not* say the fighters are weak. They are really the backbone of the party when it comes time to fight it out. <br/> <br/> The wizard does have his moments where he shines in battle, but there are many encounters wh...

Sounds fun, let me know how it goes...I am interested in running Age of Worms at some point myself, so any lessons learned would always be helpful.

<r>My Shackled City game has been going dandy. The biggest problem I have to workaround is that the level of the characters doesnt "keep up" with the level the APs suggest or were designed for. I just deal with that a few ways; by extending the timeline of the AP and introducing other avenues of adv...

DCC 26: The Scaly God

A Dungeon adventure (name escapes me, was written for 3.5, involves lizard men in a swamp, for 3rd or 4th level characters, might have the word Morach Tor in the title).

<t>I dont find BattleLore to be very complex, in the sense that the rules are very simple and easy to pick up on. The game does a great job of introducing the rules, by having the scenario book that comes with the basic game start out with scenarios that only use the basic rules, then each additiona...

<t>I like to play a lot of the board games people are mentioning here, Zombies, Runebound, Talisman, Warhammer Quest. I have played a lot of Runebound and Descent from FFG.<br/> <br/> Lately though, I have been playing BattleLore. It hits a certain sweet spot for me. All those little army figures be...

Yea, the "Transmute" threw me.

Cool though, thanx very much Geron. I figured it was likely just an oversight on my part.

<t>I have been running a C&C game for a little over a year now (meets once every two weeks). It is based off of the Shackled City campaign, and I have tossed in all manner of other products. DCC modules, GameMastery stuff, Dungeon and Dragon mag stuff, even some Necromancer Games stuff like bits...

<t>Just curious, and I may have missed this in one of the books, how does one cure petrification (being turned to stone, like from a cockatrice bite)?<br/> <br/> I took a glance through the spells and didnt see a stone to flesh of flesh to stone type of spell.<br/> <br/> Thanx in advance for any ass...

Quote: I guess I'll just figure this one out myself I hope you will post what you figure out and put into actual play, I would be interested to see. I like some social mechanics myself as well, right now we have just been doing Charisma checks when the character attempts to manipulate an NPC into d...

<r>For the most part its easy, here is a post on the subject at the DCC forums, <URL url="http://www.goodmangames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=785">http://www.goodmangames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=785</URL>. I thought there was another post on the same forum about this topic, but now I cant find it....

<t>Before the actual game I convert the monsters, and do a scan of the text for any items that might be a problem (like mithril shirts, alchemical items like tanglefoot bags, spell effects, etc.). I also like to note the magic items being used in the adventure and there value in 3.5 since I am using...

<t>** Shackled City spoiler (maybe?) **<br/> <br/> I am currently running Shackled City using C&C. We are on chapter 2 at the moment.<br/> <br/> I have just been using the formula CL = DC - 15. It has worked just fine, no problems at all. It makes a number of the locks very very difficult to ope...

<t>The players added up their EVs for the gear they always carry around, it wasnt really hard, the rich bard ended up being the only one encumbered cuz he had bought so much. But for loot, just stuff in a bag what you think would fit and go, no one wants to stop the game to add up EV values of that ...

Neat program. If I ever run 3rd again I will buy it. My small brain can not keep track of all the numbers.

Having a set of C&C libraries would be neat too, not sure if I would use them a lot, but the option would be neat. Its a steal for 10 bucks.

<t>Two weapon fighting works great if you have a high dex and low str. In my current game, the thief uses an off-hand weapon when in combat. His dex bonus is +3 and his str bonus is +0. So he basically gets a second attack at a penalty, but it doesnt affect his main attack at all due to his dex. <br...
