Troll Lord Games

I decided not to use the standard Palladium alignments for my revamp of Robotech but instead the Revised Recon alignments (which I think Eric Wujick created). These work better, in my opinion, for the military setting.

Decided to whip up a Robotech II: The Sentinels game at my local FLGS (assuming I can find players...if not...maybe Skype). So, in an effort to make sense out of the jigsaw puzzle that has become the 2nd Edition Robotech RPG , I'm going through and combining aspects of both editions (with alignments...

Hmmm...went back and looked at the entry on Wormtongue in the old Lord of the Rings RPG: Two Towers Sourcebook just to see how Decipher's writer's viewed him: Magician, Noble (total of 3 advancements). He only has 3 spells, but they are whoppers: Command (no gestures), Voice of Command (no gestures)...

Or run something in Middle-earth without clerics. Lots of barrow wights, nazgul, and so on... There was an old Tales of Middle-Earth Campaign module (for Decipher's The Lord of the Rings RPG ) called A Rescue on the Barrow-Downs where you have to rescue the hobbit Wheldon Proudfoot on a stormy nigh...

Congrats Julian!

Although its not an official C&C class, I would add Noble (like that in Blackmoor or DragonLance 3.x) to Assassin (he is basically a Spy).

Technically gaming (since its related to gaming):

Many thanks to John Kovalic (saw it as an update on his Facebook page). Funny!

Congrats again man! Thanks, again. :lol: Though, I wish Pally would have used more artwork from your GCM collection. Yea, I'm none too happy that alot of stuff from MOSPEADA got left out, again! Missing was Colonel Wolfe's fighter ( Eulogy & Enter Marlene ), Wolfe's body armor ( Eulogy ) and at...

Well, got another Special Thanks credit for Palladium's Robotech: The New Generation Sourcebook (they even got my name spelled correctly this time) since I loaned them a great deal of my Genesis Climber MOSPEADA artwork collection. Guess I've about used up my 15 Minutes of Fame.

Personally, I make the AC the same as in melee combat since (to me at least) there is no fundamental difference between whacking someone with a sword and moving in and grabbing them by their short hairs, except that you (the grappler) are sacrificing the advantage of keeping out of knife-fighting ra...

Heeeyyyy, that just got me thinking... Castles & Crusades Oriental Adventures book? I'd hit that! I definitely would too. I'm personally going with this lineup since I think it pretty well gives the players enough options for adventure. I'm also in the process of hunting down AD&D/d20 compa...

Okay, some of you saw my thread about the fact I'm planning an Oriental Adventures campaign. I've got alot of resources I'm calling upon so now its filling in the cracks and such. One thing I think that could potentially be added to my game is the Gupta Steel Bow (yes, it was a real weapon used by t...

Heh, well butter my butt and call me Susan.

Okay, been thinking about doing an Oriental Adventures themed campaign (watching Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time). As such, I thought bringing back Comeliness (after a fashion) would be good as well as adding a Luck attribute. Thing is I don't think they should be tied to any Saving Th...

See, that's why I have the Brawler class instead of Monks for base C&C (moving them instead to C&C Oriental Adventures). Basically, the Cestus Gladiators of Rome were the idea.

Yes I do, but I mitigate this by having more classes: Priest, Crusader, Healer, Shaman, Gladiator, Beast Master, Merchant, Bandit, Loremaster, Gypsy and so on and so forth. As well, I offer expanded race selections: Draconians, Dracons, Centaurs, Half-Ogres, Half-Giants, Half-Dwarfs, Pixie-Fairies, ...

Funny enough - 4 Elements in traditional alchemy: fire, air, earth, water; 4 States of Matter in Chemistry: plasma, gas, solid, liquid

"The agreement includes the publication and distribution of all twelve of the Castle of the Mad Archmage dungeon levels included in the previously released pdf of the same title, plus two additional levels that Joseph wrote exclusively for inclusion in the Black Blade Publishing release of the...

Okay, after reading that d20 SRD on 3d6, I think I'm sold. As some of you remember, I hope, I was planning on using 2d6 instead of d20. The biggest hurdle would be making sure I don't have to recalculate everything. This was what I came up for as Bonus to Hit for the various classes: Fighting Men: +...

If I were gonna do that, Keolander, I'd make criticals go straight to HP... scare the bejeezus out of players when you throw a 20. Yep, that's what I do. It favours the melee classes and makes the power curve slightly shallow since you could proverbially drop a 12th lvl Wizard as a 1st lvl Fighter....

How about as an Adjunct to the Totem Shape Ability, the Druid picks One (and only One) Totem Animal, but can shift at will. For those that play WoW, yea, I'm using that idea: Druids of the Fang: Serpents Druids of the Talon: Avians Druids of the Claw: Bears Druids of the Pack: Wolves Druids of the H...

I suppose I'm weird, but I separate Hit Points (which is a PCs Constitution Score) from Wound Points (Hit Dice + Con Bonus). Sure, it means overall that players have a bigger base of points, but I think there are plenty of ways in which PCs go *SQUISH* that don't involve anything other than a Saving...

Interesting. I sort of like it as a non-spell casting adjunct to the DragonLance Kender Nightstalker class.

Nice, though I think I might change spells to Inventions ala Blackmoor 3.5's Clock & Steam

<t>Hmmm....I guess I'm weird in that I used a modified 1E AD&D setup for ability score modifiers. The main thing I did was delete Exceptional Strength and Constitution bonuses so that people other than Fighting Men got some of the advantages of higher scores. I also moved, whole, the Wisdom Bonu...

<t>I just considered something as a revision of Initiative. Instead of lowest going first, why not like standard d20 with highest goes first? Casting Time/Weapon Speed would be subtracted. To whit:<br/> <br/> Roll 2d6 + DEX Bonus (if any) + Class/Race Bonus (if any) - Weapon Speed/Casting Time<br/> ...

And lo! another has taken up the Crusade. Welcome, welcome. Come join the insanity.
