Troll Lord Games

Hi trol, I was looking for module ideas for a gathering of druids and shamans in my mesolithic (with metallurgy/magic) campaign (can be any edition). Whilst I have got some general sociopolitical interactions at the core, I need some extra stuff to get ambience and traction out of it (at least two s...

I disagree with many of the posters here - most of the NPCs in my campaign are 'classed' - they have identities and abilities that reflect their histories - consequently they are rarely 'slain' by the PCs in initial confrontations. There is no wasted time in generating their abilities - through disc...

bumping ... good discussion; spell level as save doesn't really effect my casters as there is a perpetual sense of threat/death/risk that has nothing to do with the actual challenge/level/HD of the foe. so in a sense i agree with pawndream here - it is not really about the mechanics just about how i...

Firstly, great discussion. My campaign is early Neolithic with metallurgy (non-medieval) so requires quite a few 'aesthetic' changes. I don't really see these as 'house rules' more a reflection of technology and social constructs in such a context (no 'knights' , 'illusionists' etc). In terms of tru...

This is very entertaining as a form of nostalgia - as this was the first time I ever played C&C - I was both Jalen the hunter (deceased) and Orin the druid. As Pdiddy noted, most of the other players had come from 3E but I had only played 3.x a few times and was a 2E guy throughout the 1990s. Li...

I usually go the other way on this. Hermit, you are giving them third level 'max hit points' (at first level?) and a generous amount of equipment. It is a fun adventure kick if the characters are stone cold broke! Generally means they have to find some work even if just strongarming at the tavern (i...

This I think is a really interesting observation that I thought worth sharing and getting some thoughts from the TLG community. In one of my recent games I found myself using imperial measurements and I had this suspicion that the players weren't really getting a feel for the scale of things, spaces...

Thanks for the comments and link. I found it interesting that there were two views around how this relates to the 'magic level' of the campaign. pawndream: "The house ruled method makes characters more resilient against magic and probably works better if you run a more high magic campaign."...

One of the (legitimate) critiques of C&C I have encountered is the absence of 'progressive' saving throws generated by the SEIGE engine. This is particularly the case when a non-PRIME character is going up against a spell-caster of similar level. For example a 10th level Ranger makes a save agai...
