Troll Lord Games

so does this mean, that us unlucky schmucks who live north of the border and are subscribers to the crusader mag, should have received issue #5 by now?

not again ...........

<t>thanks everyone,<br/> <br/> while Rising Knight is a nice module to start a group with, I personally don't think its a great convention module. I'll look into the Beacon mod that is available and keep hunting around as to the characteristics that make a good convention mod. Ultimatly, I think I'l...

<t>Hey Everyone,<br/> <br/> The mods that I currently own for C&C (nearly all of them) none of them seem all that suited for a 4 hour convention slot or a quick demo module to show new people the C&C Game.<br/> <br/> I think that needs to be changed! <br/> so I've got a couple of questions,<...

<t>I've run this module and made extensive comments elsewhere. I think if there was ever a second printing, I'd do 1 of 2 things<br/> <br/> a) remove some of the outlying farm info, and perhaps summerise it in a table, and use the space to detail the awakener a bit more, and have a couple plot hooks...

groovy,

that actually sounds like fun. anyone ever play this, or something like it? does it 'translate' well

Cheers,

J.

<t>thanks guys, all good suggestions. I'm thinking about keeping things 'fantastic' in nature. so it will still be with swords and stuff, just not all those pesky demi-humans and goblins to fight at 1st level. I think that is where the 'funk' really resides... boredom with the standard C&C/D&...

<t>so, I'm still loving C&C, and still wanting to play and run games, however, I'm pretty bored with 'traditional' fantasy.<br/> <br/> I'm not all that excited about orcs and elves and dwarves and all that... and I'm not sure what to do...<br/> <br/> So I ask, what have you done in the past when...

<t>I've been playing for several months now in a Riddle of Steel campaign. lots of fun, especially the combat <br/> I've also quite enjoyed the following "indy" games<br/> <br/> - capes<br/> <br/> - in a wicked age<br/> <br/> - dust devils<br/> <br/> capes is truly gm'less while the others are "gm l...

that's pretty cool Omote...

I might have to do something like that. I've always had a hard time remembering where Orc #2 w. 3 HP's left is from round to round when its just written on some scrap paper.

Cheers,

J.

<t>I voted no. I'd rather that space be used to add a new magic item or a new monster. If I wanted to know how many orcs there was, I'd just find the largest battle with orcs in the module and make sure I had that many figures on hand. <br/> <br/> I normally chalk this stuff up to prep time for the ...

-2....

-5....

<t>funny topic. on another thread on another forum there was a GM who was discussing how he liked certain levels of crunch in his games, because for him, it constitues a form of solo-play.<br/> <br/> Interesting notion, that the things we hate most about 3rd edition, for some, it enables the game to...

<t>my problem with starting a brand new player, for his very first game out with level 1 characters, or low level characters for that matter is how weak they are.<br/> <br/> now, don't get me wrong, it's fun as all hell playing a level 1 mage, but is having only 2 first level spells for a complete n...

<t>[quote="rabindranath72"][quote="jman5000"]<br/> <br/> I know revealing hard and fast numbers are "trade secrets" (don't know why, as nobody can take those sales away from you once earned), but a general synopsis on TLG, how it did last year vs projections (or whatever) and the plans for the futur...

<t>it gladdens me to know that a core book that is built for ck's is selling out. more ck's means more players...<br/> <br/> it can only bode well seeing 2nd printings of all the core books. now if we could only get our grubby, greedy, and greasy hands on more core books <br/> Cheers,<br/> <br/> J</t>

<t>you are the GM correct. isn't it you who gets to decide what game you want to run?<br/> <br/> See, 3e even warps the balance between how games get decided <br/> if they want to play in your game, and they want to play fantasy, then its C&C. if they want to play another system, then pull out a...

I have a store in Canada (Burlington Ontario to be exact) where I would gladly demo many a C&C game...

please let us know if us poor canuks can also partake in this fun.

cheers,

hehe. I might take you up on that Serl, as I live only 20-30 minutes from the falls.

I'll even buy you a real coffee from Tim Hortons;)

<t>well, a friend of mine just opened a game store so I guess I'll have to start supporting him .<br/> <br/> but like most game stores, he has 90% D&D, 5% Gurps, 2% White wolf and 3% other games in stock, but no C&C<br/> <br/> Hey Trolls - the "Biggest" game store in this area is just scream...

<t>however, IMO, the advantage of going with a UPS or Fedex type of service is that the product WILL get delivered. I've had too many ordered items never reach me to suspect it's customs holding things up and not the postal service.<br/> <br/> My guess, is that there is a duty being charged and the ...

seem to recall reading that Steve was wanting more module writers as well. seems that the demand is outpacing the supply.

guess that's a good thing.

Cheers,

J.

<t>I WILL wait for the conversions to support the line.<br/> <br/> this is very good news indeed. I was worried that the C&C experiment would end at the 2 released, as there seemed to have been quite the spell in which no new 'news' was posted on C&C material over at goodman games.<br/> <br/...

thanks everyone.

Treebore - my 2 will be 15-16 months apart... how is it with kids being so close together? Love the idea, shitting my pants with the idea

hows that for a paradox?

cheers,

J.

just found out my wife is pregnant with our second child!

a bit earlier than our 'family planning', but WTF, it's another kid and I'm over the top excited.

Cheers,

the mods that I play, I try and stick very close to the printed word. the modifications that I make are basically the 'set-up' to get the party involved. after that, why ruin a good thing?

Cheers,

J.

<t>just in time for me to get my crusader 4 copy delivered (sigh... lets hope 3rd time's the charm...)<br/> <br/> after this past experience, I'm really not looking forward to the next delivery of the magazine... Canada doesn't seem to like your subversive literature Little Rock! doesn't like it one...

now this kicks serious ass. count me in... big time...

Cheers,

J.
