Troll Lord Games

<t>Well, you know me - I'm a Savage Worlds guy. I've integrated a lot of Savage things into my C&C game. I think it works great for fantasy (although I think the magic system needs some tweaking).<br/> <br/> If you want to make a HP-based system (or any system, really) it a lot more deadly, just...

Another good resource is the Wilderlands boxed set. Yeah, its a bit big just to get for wilderness encounters, but its chock full of ideas, not to mention random ruins and other goodness.

<t>I'm pretty sure the Deadlands books are in the pipeline. It is their flagship product, even more than SW itself. <br/> <br/> I get the impression from the SW folks that the PDF products aren't print substitutes - that is, if they didn't produce them as PDFs, they wouldn't produce them at all. I d...

<t>We haven't used the Way of the Brave yet, and probably won't switch in our current Savage Midnight game, but I will probably use it in whatever my next Savage campaign is. From what I remember from the SW boards, I think it comes out to an average of 1 point more damage per hit. But it is more pu...

BH - Do you still have your Evernight gallery up somewhere?

<t>I love Savage Worlds. Have I said that before? I returned to gaming after an almost decade long hiatus, and played 3x. Took me 2 years to realize how much I hated it. I almost stopped gaming again, but I found SW and fell in love. Its a great system. I love wounds, I love fatigue, I love Bennies,...

<t>Here are an example of some spells. These are the list of Novice level Wizard spells. The first is the spell name, followed by the power in parentheses (if different than the spell name), and if there is any other modification of the power, its listed after that. <br/> Novice Wizard Spells<br/> <...

<t>Joel did a great job on Dungeons and Savages, and I used it as a springboard for my own Old School Savage treatment.<br/> <br/> In my view, SW and D&D are way different beasts. In my first SW campaign (Evernight, SW's fantasy-with-a-twist setting), I didn't try to bring any of my strict D&...

<t>What DD said.<br/> <br/> Or put another way, Prime and Non-Prime are independent of bonuses applied. That is, whether a SIEGE roll is based on a Prime or Non-prime don't affect what bonuses get applied, it just affects the base target number (12 or 18). After determining the base target number, y...

They looked like the walking wounded last night, too. Lots of injuries to the D. That isn't a good thing for a team whose success is predicated on their D.

I hope Grossman picks it up. I drafted him in the last round of a keeper league this year.

<t>I think thats a good course. Better to try to address the situation directly (with her), at least, before scrapping it altogether.<br/> <br/> Have the other players indicated to you if they're unhappy with the distractions, too? Sometimes knowing that you're not alone in this can help, especially...

Car Wars is that way for me. Great concept. Complicated execution.

<t>Okay, having now seen the Source, I don't think its all _that_ bad. Its definitely nowhere near as bad as Highlander 2, and there were some parts that I liked. The cinematography is very nice. I like the crumbling world they portrayed - it reminds me a lot of what they wanted to do at the beginni...

I find it immensely funny that song ringtones are usually more expensive than buying the mp3 of the song itself.

<t>Good call on the Dragonsfoot reviews, much appreciated. I read through them this afternoon, and it provides some good ideas.<br/> <br/> Glad I wasn't the only one who immediately disliked Hall of Harsh Reflections. I haven't even read it, but the synopsis alone in the Overload document really tur...

Fat Dragon Games wrote: Agreed. I actually liked the series very much, I just always viewed it as a 'separate' universe to the original film. The series also had some great villains (also the worst-Richard Mull in the pilot was horrible), but I really liked the guy from Fine Young Cannibles as Xavi...

<t>Cool, thanks for the info.<br/> <br/> I'm planning on using some DCCs as "filler" material, not to mention the overland travel aspect other inherent fun stuff in the Wilderlands itself. That should help the leveling aspect, but also I think it will be nice to have the AoW plot more interspersed w...

OK. Got my order placed for LA More Beasts of Lejend and a 3rd print of the C&C Player's Handbook!!

Did you order it online, or call them? I tried ordering some Crusaders online, but couldn't get it to discount them (and didn't see a comments box).

<t>I've been tracking the Source for years now, and its sad journey from "big screen trilogy" to "straight to DVD" to "released on Sci Fi". I have it DVR'd, and will watch it, but my expectations are (and have been) incredibly low. <br/> <br/> I did pull out the series DVDs and have been watching th...

I like when players express a particular interest in something. Saves me some creative work.

How are you finding it so far?

Nope.

Although, I may add back Paladin spells, at which point ... naw, probably still a big no on the wands/staves.

<t>I like the shorter rounds/turns as well. In fact, I almost shortened them to 6 seconds. <br/> Your view on response time is interesting and thought provoking, though. My first instinct (especially after playing other games) is that I like combat brutal, deadly ... and fast. Back and forth 2 minut...

<t>I thought it might be fun to intersperse a long running arc in my Wilderlands campaign along with the DCC and 1e modules that I'm planning on using. Anyone have experience with the Age of Worms (or any other Paizo AP)?<br/> <br/> If so, think it would adapt to C&C easy enough? My assumption i...

I track XP, mainly based off monsters and story awards. A friend of mine has an ingeniously simple system for GP based XP - you get XP for each GP you spend on training. I'm going to use that in my next campaign.

I'll get at least the PH. Some of the developments sound interesting, some do not. It sounds at least like there will be things worth stealing.

I'm a mountain and forest guy. Or best of all, both. Dunno why.

<t>I like DCC 35 quite a bit, although unlike a few other settings, it didn't scream "run me". I use it more for idea mining. Its a good setting, and (obviously) fits nicely with the DCC modules (although most can fit anywhere). <br/> <br/> It struck me that the scale on Aereth is pretty damn big - ...
