Troll Lord Games

<t>Im a vast fan of Michael Moorcock, and his Eternal champion stuff (elric, hawkmoon etc etc)<br/> <br/> I rather enjoy Chaosiums BRP system, and the Stormbringer RPG, but I cant help but wonder if C&C might not also work well, for an eternal champion based thing. You could borrow liberally fro...

I like Reaper's paints a lot. Vallejo is good too.

GW paints arent bad at all, but Reaper tends to last me longer for the same cost.

10 and 15 would seem good options for a more heroic game. Likewise letting 20's always work (which I pretty much assumed in any event)

<t>Well, we played through our first adventure and it went like a beauty. Just like playing AD&D, but with no worry about looking things up. Im sold <br/> I decided to finally break out my original AD&D Forgotten Realms box set, and use that. For monsters, my oAD&D monster books. I didnt...

<t>overall, what WOTC does or does not do, have no impact on my gaming. The games I have settled on buying and supporting are Castles&Crusades, GURPS (at least for books that I find cool), Warhammer roleplay, and, possibly Runequest, depending on what the new book does, that 3e didn't.<br/> <br/...

<t>That thread mirrors a friend of mine, who is a big 3.5 D&D guy, and general WOTC fanboy (mind, i dont count the word fanboy as a negative slur. Im a Chaosium and Warhammer FRP fanboy myself )<br/> <br/> I guess to legitimize your own hobby, you have to find something to crap on, to make it va...

Normally, I dismiss anything said by Dancey out of hand, but in this case he is propably raising a good point. But then, outside of WOTC's Marketing department, who cares ?

I'd be tempted to just let each player pick one or two "background" skills that they are good at. When doing stuff involving these, that warrants a dice roll (important distinction), they get a +2 or whatever.

So you might be good at building boats and herding cows, or whatever

Seskis, thats not a bad idea. I may just try something like that.

oh heck yeah
I have an ancient copy of some Metamorphosis Alpha stuff lying around too. Wouldn't be an overly hard thing to convert, I'd wager

An "upgrade kit" would be nice, with any actual changes

Since Monks can use a magic weapon if they find one, just not a lot of the common types, I'd personally limit it to be just "counts as +1 for purposes of being able to hurt the critter"

This struck me earlier today, while reading some years old issues of Dragon.. have anyone done anything as far as a C&C based Gamma World game ? It could only rock..

Looks good I may have to drag out the three DL modules I do own (1, 2 and 3) and give them a spin

That works
And I realized the monk movement is on the chart in the book. I completely overlooked that

<t>The book recommends 3D6, arrange to taste. Im sure grognards do 3D6 in order (if you're truly old school, your Referee rolls for you )<br/> <br/> I've thought of something like the 4D6 drop lowest, but rolled in order. Rolling stats in order tends to result in characters that you wouldnt normally...

<t>Just came aboard the crusade. Im a big fan of oAD&D and Basic/Expert D&D, but C&C seems to do all that, but at the same time be easier, nicer and have a lot of neat options, without going into "attacks of optimized opportunity" land.<br/> <br/> So far, I dont have the monster book, as...
