Troll Lord Games

<t>I wanted to post after reading Crusader #8. I am beginning to become very concerned as to the quality of products produced by TLG. At first, I was accepting towards the errors in the C&C PH, et. al. I'm not talking about rules errors and the such, but spelling errors and other "high school en...

<t>Interesting comments... <br/> Apparently I'm not up to the intellectual standards around here. I loved the entire series so much that I have read all the way through at least twice and a few of the early novels three or four times.<br/> <br/> I like Salvatore's story telling ability, especially h...

<t>I believe that new players want those characters with the awesome stats. Everyone wants to play the Conan or Raistlin of the group...<br/> <br/> but more experience players sometimes enjoy the challenge of role-playing a character with stats they wouldn't necessarily pick for themselves.<br/> <br...

Ahhh! The Beacon. It's a classic.

<t>In a game I played in one of the characters was a mage who loved music. He created a magic item called a party duck. Whenever the command word is spoken, everyone within the area of effect (not sure exactly, but it did cover an entire tavern with around 100 people in it) will be effected by sever...

Another options...Let her play two or more characters!

<t>I had a similar experience with my wife when she first played. I just asked her a few questions:<br/> <br/> If you were in a Xena type world with magic and monsters and warriors with big swords, etc. what kind of person would you like to be.<br/> <br/> Her answer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer! So I r...

<t>Keep in mind that the multi/dual classing guidelines are just that...guidelines. You can do anything you want in your campaign.<br/> <br/> Having said that, I recommend a different style of multiclassing. Make her a level x mage and level x fighter and allow her to allocate her experience as she ...

<t>Whew! Panic attack forestalled. I was afraid I had purchased conflicting material...Now I understand.<br/> <br/> Thanks for the help!<br/> <br/> Now...I like the Golden Familiar because it presents itself as an excellent home base for the PC's (and a great place for them to invest a lot of funds ...

<t>OK...someone is going to have to explain this to me. I understand that Castle Zagyg is the default setting for C&C. Aihrde is a d20 setting. Are they related somehow? Are they two different settings or one in the same?<br/> <br/> I don't have a lot of cash to spend on gaming. One of the reaso...

<t>I recently received my copy of the CK screens. I really liked the adventure "The Golden Familiar." I do have some issues, though...<br/> <br/> What exactly is an Ungern? They aren't listed in the M&T or in the Yggsburgh book. Is there something else I need to get?<br/> <br/> what is the adven...

<t>I just got my CK screen yesterday...It is amazing! All a CK needs to run an entire game is found on that screen! (well...throw in some imagination and a little bit of ).<br/> <br/> Anyway...the reason I mention this is the CK screen has a list of str modifiers for giants that could easily be extr...

<t>that was cool!<br/> <br/> Congrats! Good players are hard to find! No need to rewrite.

<t>Personally, I would be wary of the character, but the player sounds like he could bring a new level to the game. I would definitely place the character on probation for the first several sessions. This way, if it doesn't work out, there is no hard feelings. Re-iterate that your campaign is a hero...

<t>I believe that natural 1 or 20 are intentionally left "unruled" to allow for more CK flexibility in houseruling.<br/> <br/> I personally use a Game Mastery Critical Hit deck. I don't use the rules that come with it specifically. I allow a player to draw from the deck if they roll a natural 20 tha...

<t>Grey Elf,<br/> <br/> Not exactly what I'm looking for, but close. I'm really looking for something that allows the flexibility of point systems with the ease of handling of the Vancian system.

<t>I'm not too hot on the Vancian magic system and I am searching for a points based system to incorporate into C&C. I recall reading somewhere about someone who uses a points based system where the mages must have staffs with runes carved in them. This sounds interesting to me.<br/> <br/> I wou...

I second Beacon...It's a great starter for players and CK's.
