Troll Lord Games

<t>Robert,<br/> <br/> I've never really played in a campaign that cared much about encumberance. Not sure what your stance is on it. Will there be any movement adjutsments for heavier armor? More specifically, if I outfit my cleric with full plate, will the character's movement as a human still be 3...

<t>Group:<br/> <br/> I'm not sure what spak_man will do with his cleric, but one of my goals is to outfit my cleric with a decent amount of group friendly items (scrolls/potions/wands/staves) to help heal/revive party members. The upside with having two clerics is if one of us bites the dust, I supp...

<t>More food for thought.<br/> <br/> 1) Do vampires suffer the same effects from the spell "Daylight" (reverse of Darkness) as they do from natural daylight? <br/> <br/> Aside from the spell, the Helm of Brilliance is another interesting item to consider, although it is costly.<br/> <br/> 2) Does th...

Hahahah. I loved it!

<t>Ok Robert, next round of questions. Having not played in a game you've run, I don't have the advantage of knowing your house rules and such, so some of these may be very basic questions.<br/> <br/> 1) How do you handle scroll usage?

<t>Alright, I'm just starting to think about this, so the questions might come rolling out one by one.<br/> <br/> First quick question pertaining to vampire hunting. Assuming the stake in the heart thing is still deadly, what kind of modifiers would a character have to attempt such a called shot in ...

Maybe it's just me, but when I listen to them I can't help but think about Gilligan and that smokin Ginger stranded on their island!

Am I alone on this one?

Question: Will that permanent Haste spell jaybird's experiencing carry over to his character in the game?

<t>So has anyone placed an order yet? Can someone please describe in detail what they did to have the order correctly priced for Paypal? Is it my responsibility to figure out what the final purchase price should be when executing a payment?<br/> <br/> Sorry, feeling a little slow this Monday morning...

I guess this is where I belong as well. Haven't given a whole lot of thought to character creation yet, so I'll keep my options open to fill in as needed.

Any group strategies that I need to be aware of?

In my opinion, if you run Rising Knight unmodified, it's a death wish for most level 1 PC parties.

I'd recommend Beacon at Enon Tor as the PCs should have a higher chance of success. Role play out the town intro if you feel the need to add role play goodness.

"I only roll 20s in bed!"

Nough said.

Looks like I can probably do Thursdays during that time frame as well. If there are still seats available on Thursday nights, sign me up.

Happy Birthday big guy! Consider this an acceptable way of kissing my DM's ass.

Robert,

I'm definitely interested, but like most things the schedule will drive my availability. I'm East Coast time, and Monday nights are probably best for me.

I too have been anxiously awaiting this one. Being a big fan of the chronicles, I just hope it's not a huge disappointment.

Wow. That's pretty damn impressive.

Reminds me of some 3-D maps K&C put together for their Keep on the Borderlands module. If I could dig that up I think others might appreciate it.

<t>One of my players opted for the mega damage lucerne hammer from the PHB (d12). I certainly don't have an extensive background in medieval weaponry, so I figured I'd ask some experts about the hammer.<br/> <br/> From what I've been able to gather, the lucerne hammer appears to be a pole arm. Focus...

<t>There's always Beacon at Enon Tor. Great for an introduction module. Should the current tower owner not survive, I could certainly see a possibility of the PCs claiming ownership. Great opportunity for roleplay with the Borth residents as well seeing as they'll still want the Beacon lit every nig...

<t>Hey Tank,<br/> <br/> Congrats on the game. Sounds like it was a huge success.<br/> <br/> I'll be in your shoes sometime in the next week or two running my first session. Like you, I'll probably only have one PHB for the whole group to work with. Can you elaborate on what these cnccheatsheets were...

<t>Bummer. So what you're saying is my Illusionist character will likely never find a useable scroll from a canned module? Naturally, I'm sure the CK can work things in, but overall I highly doubt any treasure will be specifically written in for the Illusionist class. Or are there C&C module exa...

Came across this spell after asking you....

4th level Wizard spell: Resilient Sphere. Seeing as Scrying (also 4th level) was also on that scroll, perhaps that's the spell they intended?

<t>So I'm confused. I've read through the PHB trying to figure out the answer to the following questions.<br/> <br/> * Do scrolls have to be categorized as Wizard or Illusionist, or is Arcane sufficient?<br/> <br/> * Can Wizards/Illusionists cast any arcane spells from a scroll of a spell of the opp...

<t>Due to the magic system in the Midnight campaign setting being primarily feat based and open to all classes, I've found that to be a difficult conversion to C&C. Not saying it can't be done, just plan on spending a decent amount of time on it as compared to other conversions.<br/> <br/> If yo...

<t>Hmmm, I'm definitely tempted, but I might need more exposure first. I've yet to play in a C&C game, even though I've been reading the manuals for quite awhile now. Not to mention that playing by skype is pretty new to me as well. I've got years of experience, but all of that has been face to ...
