Troll Lord Games

Just stumbled on this video from a year ago.

With a short preview of the sights of Lake Geneva.

Looks nice, but a bit cold out Chicago way, Rhuvein!

In a world where magic plays such a prominent part, and the gods are very present in daily affairs, there would have to be some pretty compelling reason for all races to not avail themselves of the available magical resources in the world. Why not have both strong racial archetypes and full class av...

There will definitely be some hitches with such a project. One issue is saving throws. C&C has 3e type magic (not as deadly) combined with a quite steep saving throw differential (deadly) . Adding in 2e type magic (more deadly) and keeping C&C saves (still deadly) rather than 1/2e (magic run...

Hmmm, I'm remembering how cool the character creation phase of Icewind Dale was. Excellent artwork/computer graphics. I wasn't that good at that game (but hadn't utilized cheat codes), so I gave it to my nephew who really liked it. Anyone else play this and if so, what did you think of it? Thanks. ...

Kayolan-

Can you post the spell books of the goblin wizards? I think they had fireball and magic missile, can't remember the other ones they cast

Thanks

I'm in Vegas right now, so don't have the books to do it with me. When I get home I am going to give a serious look at just dumping the SIEGE engine into the 1E AD&D "rules". Not like CS Perkins did with his AD&D 3, but keep it 1E AD&D, and just use the SIEGE engine for all sa...

For maptools: make sure everyone can connect to the server before game night. Otherwise, you might spend the first 2 hours of the session setting things up Not a bad idea to have everyone's tokens premade, with macros for common dice rolls (attacks, saves etc.) already built in to each token (includ...

Having some issues with SKYPE and compy! Trying again to get connected! :P Shame you couldn't make tonight's game Rhu, it was a great session. Slimy, Aramis, and I had a fun time. Skype has been acting up for a lot of people lately, hopefully next time it's not a problem. We definitely needed Rhuve...

In Old school it was up to the GM to adjudicate Player ideas... so it was rules light. I notice that we are unable to do much beyond taking damage.... Can we try tactics in order to improve our chances. So work smarter not harder.... Not sure if this is directed at the CK or not, at any rate... I d...

I'm back. In to Aihrde!

We've erred. back to the Inn ( of the Green Dragon )

Game is on tonight, if anyone is able to make it. Someone asked me last session about the possibility of exchanging some of the items they found for gems. That character wanted to search for a person that could facilitate such a trade. Here is what he has found: Elmorth the jeweler is the lone fema...

Oh, I'm very OK with keeping our characters! For sure, I may have mis-understood the intention in going forward. And I must say WOW to Aramis. Usually I agree with everything that you say, but I really didn't care for B4. It might that I don't care for Moldvay. I liked Isle of Dread, but that's pro...

love it! Let's go now, at 4th level but with laser rifles

I'm good with Keep or any GH module at low levels (or any of the higher ones, scaled down to low levels - been thinking about doing this lately. Haha, Isle of Ape as mentioned above)! The thing is, for me anyway ~ B1, B2 or B3 can be run over and over and still be fresh (to a degree anyway), becaus...

slimykuotoan wrote:Sorry, I was thinking Keep was a first level module.

Ah, but this is the return to the keep on the borderlands. Totally different

That's ok, you didn't miss anything EXCEPT US AGGROING EVERY GIANT IN THE ENTIRE STEADING Except for a strangely hippyish Cloud Giant who wonders why we can't all just get along. Our plan was simple, but fiendishly clever: Make all the giants so mad at us they all rush us at once, and we don't have...

That's ok, you didn't miss anything EXCEPT US AGGROING EVERY GIANT IN THE ENTIRE STEADING Except for a strangely hippyish Cloud Giant who wonders why we can't all just get along. So, you missed that part about me driving 9 hours to get home after having Jay try to pickle my liver all weekend. ;) Se...

I'm not sure I would want to redo all the modules I've already done. I've never run Keep on the Borderlands before, are you saying you wouldn't have any fun if I ran it? There are many modules to choose from. Which one's are on slimy's Forbidden List? I'm guessing Keep on the Borderlands is one of ...

I want to start this in the Wild Coast, with maybe Keep on the Borderlands as a starter. ?! :) Sounds like fun I want your input on the idea of starting over with new characters or not, if we did, I think that an optional method from the Castle Keeper's Guide might be used for generating attributes...

Well, I liked the module. But you will be happy to hear that we are now in Greyhawk, so you can choose any module you want. Next stop Barrier Peaks? :lol: Ooh, so you finished the module? Did the PCs live to tell the tale? Yep, Barrier Peaks . . or Isle of APE ! :? http://andreaseeger.files.wordpre...

Heh, I didn't even know or realize you were using Aihrde. Greyhawk is fine. As a player, I'm less concerned about campaign world as I am concerned about the module being used. I haven't been very thrilled with about this module, but Kayo - it's not because of you. You are a great CK and thus have p...

After thoughtful consideration, I've decided to not use Aihrde as a fantasy world setting for the campaign from this point onward. I've tried it and gave it a good go, but frankly it doesn't resonate with me the way it should. I've decided to go back to Greyhawk for all future games, I feel that I ...

looks like that one is already right near the top of the benchmarks list

We have a game on most Saturdays you could drop in on with the estimable Kayolan as the DM. But beware, it is a low power game, so we tend to run away from most threats like giants, and ogres, and even particularly grumpy looking house cats ;) http://www.trolllord.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t...

Great game again guys! Another fun session. We got a lot done last night and had a few very close calls. Glad to have Smoke back among the living. It was unfortunate that the +4 armour we found could only be worn by a dwarf and we had none in the party at the time. Fortunately we were able to trade...

Game on!!

You're getting a second wind

We recently discussed this a bit in the online forum: http://www.trolllord.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=14855 All options have their proponents but as a player, ease of use/doesn't take half the session to get everybody set to play is by far the most important feature. For the GMs, I realise ...

Well, I tried to get the knight an awakened war mammoth for a steed but it was not to be
