Troll Lord Games

Dristram wrote: I'm the same way, but over the years, I found that the battles took so frickin' long that my roleplaying situations suffered and I would use the rolls to speed things up to make sure there was enough time to get in the battles. One of the main frustrations of 3.x for me. Quoted for ...

<t>I think they are simple and good enough, i like the reduction for wooden shields, makes them worthy something when compared to a steel shield. The multiclassing rules sound nice, but i still think the big problem with C&C is that none really liked how multiclassing used to be before 3.X and w...

<t>I have received your mail and am done with converting the files to text, I made the tables in word and saved them as rtf, also I made a zip file with pdfs separated by prime requisite.<br/> <br/> The RTF file also has a template to be used for any other classes you might have in your games. I pla...

<t>Xp on the monsters is fairly low by the book, meaning you have plenty of space for other rewards, including story, achieving goals, clever defeat of an opponent, getting treasure or whatever it is that you want to reward them for.<br/> <br/> If you are bothered with how fast combat alone can make...

<t>Heh, I like to say that with munchkins you always get a lot of great knight lords of somewhere, with level 1.... <br/> 3.X begun as what I thought would be my dearest dreams of a system and ended up being a big disappointment for me... <br/> <br/> And Treebore, treating alignments like that was h...

<t>One thing I learned is to try and make him comfortable around the people before playing, start the game an hour later than they all arrive, talk about gaming in general and real life with him and the others for that time, when the game gets going everyone will get going easier, specially him.<br/...

<t>Actually I failed to find a good reference that the Xp given in a monster entry accounts for base Xp plus a number to be added for each hp point the creature has.<br/> <br/> After that the doubts and feelings went all down hill...<br/> _________________<br/> "We cannot live only for ourselves.

<t>Players do not dedicate their time to the game as much as GMs, this includes related topics in boards, the occasional player exists, true, but most of them can be seen asking for some help and then vanishing again, back into the real world. <br/> _________________<br/> "We cannot live only for ou...

I believe the Realms had thri-kreen in one of its Monstrous Compendium appendices back in the day. Plus they're in the 3.5 Monstrous Manual II. And what is not in the realms? Give them anot...

Dristram wrote: I agree that the mechanics of 3.x made roleplaying less important in games in general. But I'm surprised by the comment that D&D is not for those who want to roleplay. Ever since the beginning for me in 1983, EVERY D&D game I played in or ran had at least some focus on devel...

<t>Treebore,<br/> <br/> I do not use alignments because I take the whole evil and good scheme with a pov touch, but it is not only that, as I said the whole color, way of dressing and all for races is also a thing that bothers me, an evil elf has to be visually distinct of a good elf, else you would...

<t>Make sure you and the other players stand by and listen to him, ask him what he thinks, be keen on whether he is okay with speaking IC or he prefers a third person approach, you can always change that later, ask him to do what he thinks would be cool and not what he thinks is allowed.<br/> <br/> ...

<t>I am not old school, I am 26 years old and started gaming with AD&D 2nd edition, 14 years ago, I never was much of a rollplayer, but I have friends who say D&D is not for those who want roleplaying, happily I disagree, unfortunately 3.X made this even worse.<br/> <br/> The single aspect o...

<t>For some reason i feel M&T deserves a clear statement of how the Xp entry for monsters is given, I felt really stupid when I read through it two days ago and did not understand, but in the end I was not all that stupid, the entry is really not so clear, with the new monsters and all.<br/> <br...

<t>There are, for me, moments that are mechanical derivations, like a combat, and others that are simply the result of story development, like the king's death.<br/> <br/> Else we would also have to tell anyone with a dead character that he could not do a dying in the ground scene, which would suck,...

<t>I always hated how people confused an archetype on the game system with a category in the game world. Once I made a thief aiming to be a treasure hunter, I did not steal a thing from anyone who was alive and the Dm in a session came to me and with this NPC called me thief.<br/> <br/> That pissed ...

<t>FFG once in a while hold a 5 dolalr sale where 1st edition Midnight is also rather cheap, though i am not certain it goes that cheap, the book is not less than 2nd edition, the rules are older and less evolved, true, but most of the setting information in 2nd edition is alrady there, the quality ...

<t>The thief goes faster because he starts with less than the paladin, he got a lot of abilities, true, but they are all dependent on their level, by gaining levels faster he actually makes up for the other classes abilities and the bonus to hit and hp gained covers their lower combat prowess.<br/> ...

<t>I ordered a couple of books from Noble Knight, they refunded 3 dollar and some cents to my account and the packaging is surely the best I have received so far, individual plastic for each book, paper envelope, then bubble wrap and then the box, which in my case was not really a box, being 3 books...

<t>I am not happy with the fighter as is too, but the class is the only one to get a BtH on first level plus weapon specialization, meaning +2 to hit and +1 to damage over all other classes.<br/> <br/> The combat dominance ability could really get improvements and there are more than a handful of ch...

I have sent you the mail. 8)
