Troll Lord Games

Thanks again for running the game.

By the time the game started I had forgotten that your wife was a newbie. She didn't do anything during the game that seemed out of the ordinary to me. She fit right in and I would have guessed she was experienced.

I remember loving a sci-fi movie called "Ice Pirates" when I was a kid. I have a feeling it was actually a bad movie. I haven't seen it in something like 20 years, so I'm not in a position to make the call.

Do dwarves get the +1 to hit racial enmity bonus when fighting hobgoblins?

Have you deactivated your Firewall?

I haven't done anything to my Firewall software. What needs to be done?

Hello?

Where do I find the list of servers? When I selected "Connect to server" under "File" I got a dialog box asking me to specify a server over a LAN, RPTools.net, or Direct. I've clicked on all three of those tabs and none of them gave me a list of servers to choose from.

Everyone meet Trout the dwarven cleric:

<t>I am kind of at a loss as to how to submit material describing an encounter or series of encounters. Am I just supposed to say in room #1 there is a group of 4 humanoid creatures that don't like adventurers, armed with blade weapons, and pretty tough to kill for novice adventurers?

Do you use encumbrance BTB? I don't think I saw anything about it in your house rules.

I am definitely in, by the way.

(edited to correct embarrassing spelling error)

I would like to play and am available. The house rules look fine. My only issue is I don't have Maptool. Is it freeware? If so, I am in. I'll probably play a cleric or a fighter barring any objections. Also, do you allow multiclassing? If so, what rules do you use for it?

<r>If your Little Brother is young, you might want to check out this thread:<br/> <URL url="http://www.freeyabb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3136&mforum=trolllordgames"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.freeyabb.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... llordgames">http://www.freeyabb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3136&mf...

<t>Keep the age of your Little Brother in mind. If he is younger than 12, I'd suggest fudging your dice rolls if necessary to keep his character alive. It can be rough on a kid when his or her character is killed. Also, especially with younger children, be prepared to completely chuck the rules if y...

What edition of Gamma World are you going to use?

if they were trying to keep with the D&D 3 book concept

They never were. The CKG has always been marketed as a collection of optional rules for CKs and it was never suggested it was either a core book or necessary for play. The title choice was obviously unfortunate.

That is very sad news. His Myth series (well, at least the first 10 volumes) was great and I remember waiting very impatiently for each volume to come out. Once he brought in cowriters, the series turned to crap, but the first 10 are always there.

I've also had great experiences ordering directly from the Trolls. The orders arrived in about a week (much better than the turnaround time for my FLGS) and the orders were always complete and accurate.

I'm starting a 3E Gamma World SKYPE game. My players may be up for a playtest of R&R when the time comes. Keep us posted!

Oh, one thing I would probably change is to allow wizard/illusionist multiclassing. I get why you wouldn't want to allow fighter-barbarians, for example, but the wizard and illusionist classes seem complimentary.

I just had time to glance through it, but I saw a lot of things I like in your house rules document. I'm going to have to go over it in more detail later and steal the best parts.

Once I have some things out of the way, I will be able to devote more effort to R&R. And yes, that pun is meant.

I am definitely looking forward R&R. It will be interesting to see how it compares to Goodman Games's post-apocalyptic game.

I'm going to be running a 3rd Edition Gamma World game on SKYPE starting in 2 or 3 weeks. Details are in a thread on Dragonsfoot:

There are gaps, at least through Paizo. RPGNow may have the missing material, but I suspect that they have the same selection.
