Troll Lord Games

<t>Isn't the best solution just to be very, very careful about what you allow in the treasure awards, and make it costly to enchant their own stuff? The responsibility always lies with the GM, er, CK, in any case. I am sure not going to add too many rules and conditions. It's not easy to pick and ch...

<t>I intend to use the old Bard games' Atlantis rulebook, the Arcanum, for a lot of filler material, and it has a rule that states, and I quote, 'In the Atlantean system, an individual may never carry or wear more than seven magic items on his person at a given time'. It goes on to state that scroll...

Thanks. Not the rule I saw before but I like it.

Is this the same product as the new After Winter Dark booklet?

Glad to hear you say that, because I don't like to hand out much of that sort of thing. It makes me hopeful the game isn't so intricately tied up with the stuff PCs have, like tetsnbn.

I know that, but I saw a houserule that I liked about it around here somewhere.

Maybe it was at Dragonsfoot. I have been in a lot of C&C forums the last few days.

Speaking of which, didn't someone post a houserule around here about how to stack helmets with armor? I remember seeing something like that, now I can't find it again.

Yeah, we can add half a dozen of those to my list, too.

<t>I may be a bit more pedestrian in my tastes than some others here, but in no particular order, as many as I can think of right now;<br/> <br/> Coramonde novels Brian Daley<br/> <br/> The Lost Prince and A Gathering of Heroes Paul Edwin Zimmer<br/> <br/> Star Fox Poul Anderson<br/> <br/> High Crus...

Yes. Thanks for the speedy reply.

I like this. Two questions.

How fast do you recover points?

and, to make sure I have it right, a 2nd level Wizard with INT 15 and CON 12 would be 15x2 plus 4x1= 34 spell pts.?

<t>Treebore, thanks for your suggestions concerning translating Stormbringer style combat spot rules to C&C style resolution. I am going to give it a try, and would like to start a dialogue here to kick the idea around some, maybe it could turn into something useful. I am not doing this at rpg.n...

Ah, am I imagining this, or was there a 'Dungeon Delvers' Guide' or something like that listed as upcoming last week? Because I certainly can't find it now...

I saw it yesterday as well, and it was pretty good. The strobe like montage sequences I found to be unpleasant. Otherwise a worthy addition to the series.

I am writing up my houserules for C&C, and started making up lists like this. In the end I just decided to let players pick the beginning spells. The poor things will have a hard enough time surviving as it is...

Thanks, Treebore. I have been thinking about exactly what I am looking for in a game a lot lately, and that all sort of came out in a rush.

Sigh. I bet I get flamed good when one of those guys notices.

I couldn't resist. I DID try to stay calm.

The part that really irks me is the 'they like it because they can't bear to part with that OLD game' stuff. That and 'heartbreaker', like a red flag in front of a bull.

<t>And I am going to make C&C my game of choice. 'Join the Crusade', although I admit I have to keep tongue well in cheek as I write that. There are some very specific reasons why I am choosing C&C now, after hesitating all this time. Maybe I will ramble about that in the rules section of th...

Serleran! That's not nice...

But I felt the same way, until they did that hippogriff and Hermione started growing up...

Sorry, I forget how to do that. It is at rpg.net, on the D20 forum, on the first page. The title is 'why the variable experience charts in C&C' or something like that.

I'll ask my wife to teach me how to post a link later, unless someone here posts it meantime.

<t>I guess I have joined the Crusade, as you guys say. I jumped in a thread over at rpg.net where some 3.5 fan was racking C&C over the coals about the variable experience charts. After resisting my impulses for a while I joined in the discussion, and I am expecting a flame party as soon as said...

Sure. You can pick it up at Noble Knight Games.

<t>Speaking of movies, I was toodling around the net last night and discovered that there is an American made version of Beowulf coming out next year. The guy they have for Beowulf is apparently Ray Winstone with some other guys' physique, using the magic of modern special effects. Winstone was real...

<t>Same here, about the disappointment, I mean. The game to get to have a simple easy to run to game for BRP is Stormbringer 1st thru 4th editions. It is to BRP and other percentile games what the RC and C&C are to D&D and other class/level games, IMO.<br/> <br/> MRQ has a bad case of six st...

Simple resistance table, a la BRP. With a difference of 10 or more, low guy has no chance to win, grades off nice, simple and easy to use.

<t>I posted with that in mind. Still, the movie was apparently not made with exact historical accuracy as a goal. That's all I meant. So, have you seen 'Doom'? I like Urban, a lot. It would be nice if he (or someone like him), not the Rock or Vin Diesal, became the next big action star. I would have...

<t>I'd say from the armor alone it won't be exactly historically precise, but that's OK. Remember '13th Warrior'?<br/> <br/> As for Karl Urban, here is a news alert for you guys. He was in 'Doom'. Not the greatest movie ever made, but if you like Karl Urban give it a shot. So to speak. I thought he ...

<t>I have a set of crystal dice...two 8s, four 6s, three 4s, three 10s, one 12 and one twenty made of some hard composite polymer that I bought in 1982 and have used primarily since. They are not even scratched. Incredible. Of course, I have a big bag o' exotic, specialist, and other dice but those ...

<t>Yeah, I read a book -I wish I could remember the title- in which the author speculated that the Roman gladius killed more people than any other close combat weapon in history. It was a book on the history and technology of swords. He thought other sword types such as the katana and rapier were su...
