Troll Lord Games

No prob. Sir Osis. Interestingly enough, I've never played that other game.

I don't think we need a supplement to "fix" anything. Heck, I'm aiming for PHB 15th printing.

<t>I didn't say that I wanted C&C turned into D20. Sheesh. Now we've got that fallacy out of the way... It'd be cool if the subject was tightened up a bit more or made more vague for interpretation. Something's up hence the thread.<br/> <br/> Also, with a bit of training it is easier to hit from...

I think this is a nice complement to Siege.

<t>To throw in my two cents...<br/> <br/> It does take some training to strike targets that are on the ground. I grew up riding but don't consider myself awesome but I could canter and guide a kontos lance into a pumpkin and I could shoot a bow from horseback hitting a similar sized target at very c...

I had not planned on picking this up, but it sounds too good to let pass.

My sentiments exactly.

Most excellent.

<t>To throw in my two cents...<br/> <br/> I can't go back to AD&D. Not that it's impossible mind you, but I wouldn't find it enjoyable. <br/> <br/> Right now I'm running Swords & Wizardry which does cut into my C&C time but I do know that I can't forever ignore the call of the crusade. I...

Mine is from my Flames of War wargaming days. I had a tough wehrmacht army and got the moniker which means "Iron Man."

The inclusion of firearms would allow the use of Castles & Crusades for historical based games which for me would be great.

To add, I want to see more info on the Siege Engine from the insider perspective.

Yep. Adjunct expanded. Also looking forward to mass combat and hirelings.

More specifically yet more broad, the bits that IMO make original D&D cool.

There will be C&C rules, but they are not yet available.

I'm seriously looking forward to this.

*crosses his fingers that they'll be in the CKG*

You might want to take a gander at the mass combat rules in Swords & Wizardry core:

I haven't had a chance to try them out yet they look pretty good.

<r>I've got A TON of PDFs and know exactly what you're talking about TreeBore.<br/> <br/> I sort my PDFs into separate folders usually by title or group i.e. Castles & Crusades, 3:16, Dragon Magazine, etc.<br/> <br/> With me being on a Mac, I use Spotlight to search all of the PDFs and I save th...

Thats my biggest complaint in regards to this hobby.

IMO, it's a good problem to have.

LMAO. Awesome.

I don't remove them at all - depending on the situation I may use them as is, as straight penalties to specific types of tasks, etc. As I mentioned upstream, I have the players dr...

I never checked out the fumble deck but my group found drawing from the crit deck anti-climactic when 7/10 times it always seemed to be yet another attribute damaging crit.

"Can I do double damage instead?" Was a commonly heard thing.

Mopar to your group.

All the time. Sure, sometimes a judgement call has to be made but it's not really about what's on the card. It's the drama that gets ramped up when a player has to pull a card from the deck to see what happens to their character.

I gotta chime in. It's a prefect tribute, Relaxo. Perfect.

Personally I wouldn't want to see a big giant "Oriental" book encompassing Japan, Korea, China. I'd prefer smaller titles for each.

And these days with the 'Net and reliable e-commerce it's less error prone and often faster to order something myself than wait for my non-RPG-driven FLGS to get an order in.

Welcome to the crusade and thank you for doin' what you're doin'.

I freaking love the board game Dungeon. It was my introduction to role playing type games. Way back in grade school my sister and I played the heck out of it. I even extrapolated a system out its rules after seeing D&D at the bookstore and having vague notions of what it was about.

*mimimimi* *ahem* Stage lights flashing. The feeling's dashing...

If/when you run a Macross game with StarSiege I seriously want to know the results.
