Troll Lord Games

<t>see, now, you got what I was trying to say all wrong - sometimes words are not the best way to get a message across.<br/> <br/> I just think it's hard to descern sometimes when the author of the book keeps talking about all these things that are differen than what is in the book, and it leaves me...

<t>Serleran,<br/> <br/> not sure how to say this without it sounding like a dink - so hopefully with this preamble, you will know it's not ment as a dig or anything.<br/> <br/> Pretty much any topic that we've had regarding any monster in the M&T, whenever you reply, the answer invariably indica...

<t>discussion forums who discuss religion or politics quickly discovers Godwins law of newgroup postings...<br/> <br/> in essence its: As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving n*z*s or Hitler approaches one.<br/> <br/> what does that mean?<br/> <br/> As a Usenet...

<t>the fighter with a cha prime would also make for a cool city type character - the local thug, dock worker or blue collar brute who just 'knows' the ins and outs of his city and can find anything.. he's gotz the connections dontcha know?!?!<br/> <br/> Canting crew is good for these kinds of things...

<t>its funny, I had this same problem/argument over about a year and a half ago. I think there were a couple of poor choices made to facilitate 'balance' of classes to attributes.(now don't go off shuddering like that. the word needs to be used sometime!)<br/> <br/> monk - con anyone, or paladin cha...

<t>personally, I'd keep it the same - tracking, why in a city, this is the process of asking people if they have seen so-and-so walking by, looking at puddles in the street and seeing wet foot marks heading east, or seeing the torn edge of a cloak at the top of the fence.<br/> <br/> Traps - setting ...

[quote="babbage"]What about Rule 1?

In the event of a serious problem, refer to rule 0.[/quote]

nah, this is supposed to be a rules lite game afterall. Don't want to confuse those players overmuch

cheers

<t>I think it's important that a screen serve both the CK and the players, as such, I propose that the CK side contain many tables, elements and charts which will help the CK run a successful game of C&C.<br/> <br/> on the players side, there should be in large 500 point type listing of rule 0<b...

<t>don't read King - I've never liked having a chapter each paragraph ...<br/> <br/> I'm still ploughing through Robert Jordan, on book 10 right now... there has been a decided decrease in story progress in the last 4 books... there's nothing like reading in the first 4-5 books in 200 words about wa...

<t>JRR.<br/> <br/> Love your sig. Bards tale was the best game... <br/> <br/> I remember hitting that battle about 100 times as an XP pump. Teleport to just outside the door, enter, beat them up, teleport to the enterance, leave the Castle, heal, Roscoe's, back to castle, teleport fight..... repeat....

<t>I would very much enjoy that. Very close to the Tarantula is a University which has very good common areas where I've played before (toronto indy role players meetup group).<br/> <br/> the Tarantula isn't easy to find, unless you know where to look. there is no street sign, no 'frontage' or anthy...

<t>Hey Ruban, I live in Burlington, and work downtown (corner of Spadina and Adelaide) (hmm, 3 of us who play C&C - plus I have converted another who lives in Hamilton to only run/play C&C, darn... that's enough for a table... )<br/> <br/> the Hairy Tarantula did have C&C at one time, ev...

quick update - had a pm waiting for me on the boards - didn't check that - so yes, Steve has replied to me to start the ball rolling.

cheers,

J.

Canuk here - 2 emails to steve - no reply, post on this thread - no reply - missing my issue #4 as well.

haven't heard anything.... anything at all...

Cheers,

<t>its funny. I was reading the threads and at one point a dude mentioned that a lazy game design is one in which rules don't cover certain circumstances - that if you have to rely on DM fiat to adjudicate, then the system is at fault...<br/> <br/> I then declare D&D to be a lazy, incomplete sys...

<t>[quote="Troll Lord"]Rhu/JMan,<br/> <br/> I think this is my fault. I did a bunch of orders before Gencon (Davis is down in Dallas, or was until yesterday) and though they were packaged they were not shipped. Davis just took them to the post office now. They will ship NON media so you should get t...

just guessing - softback, based on what I preceive to be a print on demand business model.

but I'm just guessing.

<t>angelius,<br/> <br/> if you live in the GTA area, you might also want to check out Pandamonium, which is in it's 24th year or something like that. It's a pretty decent gaming con that's held in Feb. <br/> <br/> My understanding is that last year was the fist time they added 'gaming' to the anime/...

The whole "fish kiss" episode from Gencon makes a whole bunch more sense now
Cheers,

hehe, be really evil. Get him CZ vol 1. once he reads it's awesomeness, he'll be forced to purchase both the PHB and the M&T. it's like crack for old school role players... once you're hooked, you can't say no.

Cheers,

J.

<t>I was there last year, had a great time meeting Tami and her husband, but I also missed seeing Gary... <br/> <br/> I'm glad it's on again. I was worried it was not going to happen, as I kept checking periodically, but must have just used the wrong search terms <br/> I'm hoping to get some C&C...

shadows of the halfling hall for me, oh and the little demo module from EGG in the codex... everything else has been homebrew so far. Mysterious tower is coming up.

cheers,

snif, snif, I guess I'm the last one waiting by his mailbox for the crusader package to get delivered...

i'll sell you my '01 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. the family got larger and a 2-door is no longer sufficient. my poor baby of a car now has to go, and i'm so sad about it...

Cheers,

J.

Cheers,

J.

[quote="Akrasia"]As has been mentioned, you don't need the CKG to play the game. It is not as essential as the DMG is (was) in D&D. However, I would like to see it at some point. I'm especially hoping that it includes additional material for running campaigns (overland travel rates, ru...

<t>[quote="mordrene"]hey, I checked out the photos and I have to say I love the napkain battle mats. Where can I send my 20 bucks to get some.[/quote]<br/> <br/> umm, to me!

LOL,

Now I want one for my 5 month old daughter..
