Troll Lord Games

<t>Tonight I'll be running a Christmas C&C game that I've entitled "The Lich That Stole Christmas".<br/> <br/> The crew that was to bring this year's Yule Log hasn't come back. And of course the PCs will go off looking for them. Instead they'll find an ancient ghost village that shows up on Chri...

Wow. That looks really good.

I agree! It looks great.

Just last month I ordered Harnmaster from Columbia Games. Not only is the setting really good but the system itself oozes "middle ages". And it's fun!

Me three. I just ordered a pile of Green Ronin stuff for my C&C games. Next stop, TLG's site. Orpheus wrote: That's kind of what got me too. I thought, "Hey, I can use this as a Super Universal Console of sorts and play all of those old, classic adventures i never got to experience via chea...

I know that. I was wondering if it looked like the gun Serleran seen bouncing lead off a maximillian full suit.

Ah! lol

It's a paintball gun. Modeled after a Thompson SMG. CharlieRock wrote: Was this it? It is a SMG that does kind of look like a AK.

It would not scale well, without serious modifiers for high-level characters.

In which direction do you think it wouldn't scale? You think that high levs would crit too often?

<t>Hi all, it's been a while since I posted some game mechanics ideas. <br/> <br/> Last spring I picked up Paizo's critical hit deck and I'd like to put it to use but I'm not so keen on hinging its use on rolling a natural 20. Here's what I've got:<br/> Double Edge Combat Criticals<br/> <br/> A succ...

Happy birthday, Serleran.

Now, maybe if a rifle had been used... maybe. Of course, that same stuff was fairly useless again...

paizo has done a set of critical hit cards. When you do a critical hit, draw the card, look for the right type of damage, and that's the effect.

I use the crit hit deck for my C&C games. They're a lot of fun and really do add a lot to the game.

Hey, guys. Less yappin' on the forums and more workin' on the CKG!

It is a great book/gaming resource for sure!

Many would argue that political, idealogical and psychological propaganda have no place on gaming fora.

I'm posting propaganda? Or am I misunderstanding you? Or taken too personally?
Back on topic, good job, TLG. You guys do an awesome job.

This is a very decent thing, but this comment concerning U.S. allies is rather strange: Quote: filling the role that the U.S. largely vacated in order to focus in Iraq? In short, since when are the countries listed the only 'allies' of the U.S.? I agree with your sentiment but this statment is pate...

I'm going to give Mongoose Traveller a spin. It'll be my first leap into the Traveller universe.

I picked up Mongoose's Runequest and I'm liking it.

Same here. Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan make a great duo.

Nevermind.

Life is grand and C&C is great.

Enjoy the game!

Hear! Hear! C&C is indeed great.

Though I just realized that I put this post in the wrong forum.

Oh wait. There are issues with life and iPhones.

Telling what like what is?

How are you comparing the new iPhone to old iPod batteries? Quite a leap in logic.

And why the slam? The guy was happy to be posting with something cool.

<t>To be honest, I picked up C&C on a whim because of the low cost. But again, to be honest, an extra $5 per book wouldn't have scared me off either so it's kind of a murky catch-22 thing.<br/> <br/> I'm also a business kind of guy, so, ya gotta make things right to stay afloat.<br/> <br/> PS<br...
