Troll Lord Games

It might be worth its own thread. But I'm still curious on how C&C is supposedly broken, since I need a good laugh. well, this might get me lynched, but here it goes anyway - guess when you have a reputation for being a S&%t disturber - you've got to live up to it. IMO, C&C is broken be...

cool. thanks for clarifying. this wasn't clear to me..

ok. a google we shall go...

cheers,

<t>thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.<br/> <br/> So, to summarize and to test if I understand correctly, for someone who has never played in the wilderlands settings before, it is still recommended that he purchase either the classic booklets or the boxed set. Everything that you will be produc...

<t>ok, so I've been looking forward to the WoHA for a while now. hoping that the presses will start running and the product will become available.. but I do have a couple of questions regarding the setting.<br/> <br/> - being a total Wilderlands newb, will your products stand alone as is, or will I ...

If I plumb the depths of my memory and go back to when I read the codex, aren't those symbols the different flags of each nation?

at least a couple of them looked like that???

<t>ok, the ENTIRE Canadian army - that's Joe, Frank, and Marty to those who don't know the Canadian army, are currently mobilizing and scurrying around trying to figure out how to counter the last big enemy - the big bad ruskies and it's antagonistic act of placing a flag at the bottom of the Artic ...

Thanks Antonio. that is what I had figured.

I have been toying with mashing together as a house rule the BXCMI weapon specialization, and the CZ skills (along with others), I like how you have the progression listed.

Cheers,

<t>the thing that worries me about the ckg, and for that matter this big gencon push, is that it 'feels' rushed - which IMO for TLG, does not bode well for the quality of the work. I'm really worried honestly about the CZ folio, and the Erde gazetteer because these both require substantial troll eff...

<t>IMO the phb and codex of erde where pretty close to the same... editing and quality wise (so too was crusader #1, canting crew and a couple of others).<br/> <br/> I thought there was a great leap forward with the 2nd printing and the M&T, but have noticed things slipping a bit of late - espec...

<t>[quote="Buttmonkey"][quote="Barrataria"]If I were CEO of TLG, I'd hire two people.<br/> <br/> One to answer emails. That's all. No cons, no writing or editing. Just answering emails.<br/> <br/> One to keep Davis' computer free of coffee and dog pee (I think that story is on the old board, probabl...

thought kingdom of heaven was great fantasy

for sci-fi, I *would* have said toxic avenger... but you know... there's only so much geek goodness even I would share with this august group of geeks before I worry about loosing my membership card.

yup cool. nope slam. nope on ipod, was a class action filed yesterday (or the day before) on iphone..

slam was on the telco's.

might want to read the posts again.

<t>I agree 100% with that... for me the *only* problem with it is the first boxed set is called "basic" giving it the impression of it being somewhat less than the *advanced* version that sat side by side in most of the game stores that I visited when a kid.<br/> <br/> Cheers,<br/> <br/> J.<br/> <br...

<t>ok, I'm going to drop this now, in this thread because I don't want to divert this, however, at no time was I inferring that the 'how-to' was only limited to the very narrow constraints on "playing the game"... in my mind at least, world building guidance for new ck's is essential information tha...

<t>[perhaps missing the obvious]<br/> <br/> I've just been through a pretty exhaustive thread and have been widely taken to task about how role players don't need how-to's to teach them how to play the game<br/> <br/> and yet, this is a near prototypical how-to<br/> <br/> I'm not trying to be argume...

not my lawsuit. just telling it as it is...

cheers,

J.

cool idea. what are you using as a source for skills, CZ v1 or other material. if it's other material, how are you classifying skills as prime, non-prime and general?

and if this was answered elsewhere and I'm just stupid,,, sorry.

Cheers,

<t>great post bowbe.... thanks for taking the time to share it.<br/> <br/> and to treebore... in some respects you are somebody I look up to, because you take the time to play with your kids (not that anybody else doesn't around here, but you make it very vocal and unashamedly part of who you are......

<t>kind of need a 3-pronged (or more) methodology.<br/> <br/> people need to be made aware of this form of hobby. if they don't know it exists, they won't want to play<br/> <br/> people need to think it's cool - because even us geeks don't want to be reminded in public life that we're geeks <br/> pe...

<t>A quote from Richard Garriot on Massive online games<br/> <br/> "If you look at the vast majority of MMOs that has come out since Ultima Online and Everquest, you can look at the features and they are almost exactly the same. Even though the graphics have got better and the interface is much slic...

<t>yes, yes yes a thousand times yes. <br/> now, part 2 of my point, the rhetorical point, is if we agree that "kids" today "think" different than the kids of yesteryear, then shouldn't the way a roleplaying game - that game of your imagination which most agree is in serious jeopardy - be presented ...

<t>not stupid, but narrow minded... hmm, let me think on that one <br/> No, I do not think there should be an entire book on the siege mechanic - if you go up to my initial post, I think I articulated pretty well that there does to be a 'rethink' on the way role playing games should be presented to ...

<t>and as much as you try and joke and covertly belittle my points through your postings, this is a tried and true methodology in a very great many fields. it is possible to distill VERY complex methodologies and concepts through a combination of usage patterns (the 'rules' if you were) and usage ex...

<t>the people who clamour for complexity should not be the people who design systems - because they are then designing systems for their own use and not for general consumption.<br/> <br/> anyway, in the world of system design, simplicity is elegant when done correctly. role-playing rules are system...
