Troll Lord Games

No you haven't missed it. The proofs, if you will, have not yet been properly credited. Once I add the copyright info and compile them into their final format all the art credits will be added. The Taern logo = my creation + some clipart from www.clipart.com (the train of horsed men) Sword and sword...

I could make a blank Adobe form with font included. These products (I use that term loosely) will be free. I don't have a license with Troll Lords - these are just fan made. Call it a practice run. I've been looking for a license, preferably OGL or some variation there-of, for the last year or so. T...

<r>For outdoor maps there's AutoRealm which is free - <URL url="http://autorealm.sourceforge.net/index.php">http://autorealm.sourceforge.net/index.php</URL> .<br/> <br/> It's a serviceable tool and will get the job done.<br/> <br/> I've gone up a level (both in learning curve and price) and am going...

Third pc frontpage done - I'll be checking stats prior to putting them all together.

Later

<r>Tangent alert:<br/> <br/> Previously in this thread I mentioned a crash of my main PC (bad memory DIMM that took about 4 hours to troubleshoot) which I use to create all this stuff. In real life I'm an IT person and I'm the worst at taking care of my own hardware. <br/> <br/> After 28 days I fina...

Front page of 2nd PC done:

Thanks - it's really just a riff on the original, golden-rod character sheet. Now I really have to shrink the tiffs, pngs, and other graphic elements so I can get the size down.

Rough development has been done on the main chapters. So far I've got: History Geography Politics Religion Magic Each one is only clocking in at 10-15 pages so the overall book may be somewhat shorter than the 128 pages. Although I have to add Monsters, Persona's and maps yet so it may come out some...

It's been slow going. I had a bad memory DIMM in my main PC that put me down for a month. I'm in IT and I am the worst at fixing my own stuff. I just used my old PC and my laptop until I finally couldn't take it anymore. I'm running on 1/2 memory for the next day or so but I figure I should be able ...

<r>I can't go back to running 3E/3.5E unless it was just the core books (PHB, DMG, MM1-x). Making villains takes too long for me. Especially when the villains are usually classed monsters or humans/demi-humans. I could hand-wave it but I feel that's a disservice to the players who have to meticulous...

<r>Note this is a draft - I've caught the typo's and have not added the copyright or art info.<br/> <br/> What I'm looking for is feedback on the formatting. These will be the pregens handed out to players. I'm really going for an intro to C&C and keeping the characters as straightforward as pos...

<r>Well the characters are coming along nicely for the Noises from the Shadows adventure. There will be 6 pregen's (see sample below). Most of the maps are done and the rest of the pregen's will be done by next week (gotta make time for actual playing this week:) ).<br/> <br/> Later and good gaming!...

There are a couple reasons why I think it's spectacular. 1. Nostalgia value. This box hearkens back to the WoGH folio and boxed set. It is not as overarching and indepth as some of the Forgotten Realms products and allows me to be the master of my domain. 2. Boxed sets are just cool. I love boxed se...

<r>I picked up DCC 35 at GenCon this year. My goal is to run it with 3.5 but only, and I mean only, the core books (Monster Manuals 2-x can be used). This will limit the amount of overkill on all the extra feats.<br/> <br/> My C&C stuff uses BECMI, 1st, and 2nd edition AD&D material only so ...

Rhuvein are you discussing the Woodfield Mall or Gurnee Mills? Those two always seem to carry C&C stuff. On a different note it took my FLGS (www.fortressgames.com) a good 3-4 weeks to get in a copy of the PH. I'm pretty sure they go through Diamond/Alliance. I had Game Universe ( www.game-unive...

<r>Some flurries here in Wisconsin on Thursday but no accumulation. I'm still trying to troubleshoot my main pc's motherboard/memory problems. God bless working for an IT company and we're supplied laptops:).<br/> <br/> Back to my batch of Oktoberfest I'm brewing up (procrastination will make it a N...

Funny you should say that. Just last week, prior to my trip to Vegas, I got a BIOS error on boot-up. A quick look-up using my laptop on Dell's website and viola - I'm the new owner of a fried motherboard on my main PC. Waiting for replacement parts as I speak. Later, Treebore wrote: Hope to see you ...

<r>Most of the maps I've been posting have been using Dunjinni. It's a great program but make sure you've got plenty of RAM...it's a pig when you start using more and more objects.<br/> <br/> See my threads in the Modules section for some examples of it's use.<br/> <br/> For overland maps I've been ...

<r>Hey Brian - welcome from a fellow rpgnetter.<br/> <br/> Ptolus was designed if memory serves to take advantage of every trope that D&D adds and make some sense out of it. C&C's compatability with 3.5 is defintitley there but you may lose some of the flair that you get from all the templat...

I've downloaded those from www.paizo.com both the Wizard Spell Compendiums and the Clerics's as well. 7 books containing all spells from BECMI, 1st, 2nd, Dragon Magazine (for the first 200 or so issues), Polyhedron, campaign settings (Planescape, Greyhawk, Birthright, Forgotten Realms, Al Qadim, Spe...

<r>I've made sure to use only the user art packs so I can post and use in adventures. The logo requirements are part of the licesning agreement, i.e. if you are going to produce material you have to include the dunginni logo.<br/> _________________<br/> Greg Volz<br/> <URL url="http://www.naturaltwe...

<r>This map will be used in the upcoming Noises from the Shadows. It's an outdoor winter encounter. The tower was inhabited by an alchemist. Coming soon is the tower interior and the integration of the other two levels of the small dungeon started in a different thread.<br/> Ruined Tower PDF - file ...

<r>If this guy has been playing every weekend for the past 27 years, that works out to an average of 16 hours each and every weekend...my solution, have the DM bring a naked woman to the game. <br/> <br/> The chances that this guy has a girlfriend or wife that's willing to let him game every weekend...

<r>I'm thinking a trip to Hel or Valhalla is in order. Dark Elves (and no not drow but Dark Alfar/Goblins) will be after this relic as a breach to get into Valhalla. I'd be thinking more Indiana Jones vs. National Treasure. Big bads want this bad and Odin was notorious for leaving things around.<br/...

<r>I'll be posting my magic houserules (in the form of a chapter of Taern, A Land of Myth & Magic). I've got most of the Path Magic system, inspired by the Wolfgang Baur article, done. I'll be sending it out to people to try in their games and run it through some playtests but it's more flavor t...

<r>A short session on Friday night (must learn not to stop at the bar before gaming). Recap - wrapped up Rudwilla's Stew. One guy did almost buy it from the poison. A 4 rd onset time and a roll from the bugbear chef to whip up a crude syrup of ipecac combined to save our intrepid halfling. Note to s...

<r>Clyde Caldwell lives (or lived it's been a few years) near my neck of the woods.<br/> <br/> His art and Jim Holloway define what D&D meant (and C&C means to me).<br/> <br/> Later<br/> _________________<br/> Greg Volz<br/> <URL url="http://www.naturaltwenty.com">www.naturaltwenty.com</URL>...

<r>I run my game every other week so gaming isn't usually a problem. When I don't game I'm working on a website, updating an adventure, trying to think of ways to include each player into the game.<br/> <br/> There's plenty of stuff to keep up the excitement.<br/> <br/> Later<br/> _________________<...

<r>Can I get a link to <URL url="http://www.whatifgames.net">www.whatifgames.net</URL> - it will be the imprint used for stuff I actually create. (edit there I actually published the page I wanted:) ).<br/> <br/> Later<br/> _________________<br/> Greg Volz<br/> <URL url="http://www.naturaltwenty.com...

<r>It appears I missed that landscaped screens had already been done. PeelSeel2 is sending me a copy of his. I'm not going to recreate the wheel but I will add houserules too it.<br/> <br/> As for the fronts all the art is available at the Goodman Games site - <URL url="http://www.goodman-games.com"...
