Troll Lord Games

<t>I found one that says "Banned from posting for 511,592 hr and 21 min". I so wish that actually happened to one of the WotC reps, some of them totally deserve it....<br/> <br/> Yeah, occasionally their subheaders are amusing, but I usually find them mildly irritating. Something about the "Ha ha! I...

Yay, lots of EnWorlders know who you are.

In a positive way, no less. I definitely couldn't say the same for myself.

Holy crap, thanks for the link!

That's the sad state of the world these days.

<t>It's gonna be $10 a month. Since I believe there are programs out there that accomplish the same thing for less money, I'd probably go with something else. And from what I've seen of Magic: The Gather Online, I wouldn't put much hope in anything digital that WotC releases.<br/> <br/> The way I wo...

I quit d20 and started playing D&D again. Castles & Crusades.

Perhaps that's a better way of putting it.

<t>I'd definitely be interested in this. I'm available at any time, though weeknights are probably best. I've never used SKYPE, but I'm sure I'll be able to figure that out.<br/> <br/> As for characters, I'm best as either a Fighter-type, Cleric, or Wizard.<br/> <br/> EDIT: Will a webcam work with S...

I already quit D&D, so I couldn't give a single rat dropping what they do about new editions.

Long live the Crusade.

Couple people on ENWorld mentioned 4$$hats. But I just call them sheep.

I love how the example conversation has absolutely nothing to do with the actual characters, but only about their stats. A perfect representation of what WotC produces nowadays: a bunch of hyped-up special abilit...

Oh man, HeroQuest was such a great game. We used to have it, missing only the wizard figure, but the game got lost in the move.
Pathfinder looks interesting, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to plop down the cash for it yet. Let me know if it's good.

With adjectives like you use, third eye, its no wonder so many "3E people" think we hate their game.

But, they're so entertaining.... Lizards of the Hoax is definitely the best name for WotC I've ever seen.

<t>As for myself, I prefer a mix. I like elements of Gothic Horror being mixed into a fantasy setting, and I tend to lean toward Steampunk with Renaissance-age firearms, airships, and the like. Level of magic really depends; sometimes it's really interesting to have a low-magic setting where magic i...

<t>I know the divisions are a bit arbitrary, but bear with me hear. I think I covered all the bases, anyway.<br/> <br/> Just curious what types of campaigns and settings people like to use in their games (C&C or other RPG). If you like several different types equally well (or an ideal setting wi...

Thanks, perhaps I'll take you up on that.

A lot of people are really not happy about this 4e decision, and I've already pointed a few this way. So, I think this situation could be good for C&C, if it's handled correctly. Getting some of the other 3rd-party companies to switch over to C&C would be a big winner.

<t>I've been wanting to do this for a while, and recent fiascos have given me an opportunity to escape back to my stories.<br/> <br/> Aervenia is a campaign setting of my own creation; although it's not finished yet, I'd like to present some of the ideas I've been having for it.

We're about halfway through (family decided to read it together), but we're surprised at how little information has been revealed. It's kind of slow and murky, I hope it picks up soon.

I have a feeling Voldemort is gonna die in a way similar to Quirrel: unable to stand the purity of love. He's probably gonna end up doing something that will get himself killed, would be my guess.

I'm gonna answer these a bit out of order so that my points are more clear. gideon_thorne wrote: Voldemort was going to kill Harry for that very reason. To use his death to MAKE a Horcrux.

<t>Sweet, I didn't know this was coming out. More and more I am amazed at how much support C&C gives to the gamemasters, instead of just trying to appease the players with endless variations of stats. It's a nice thing to see.<br/> <br/> By-the-way, is there any idea of approximately when this w...

<t>Harry's not a Horcrux:<br/> <br/> 1. Voldemort wouldn't have tried to kill Harry that night if he planned to make him a Horcrux and a spell like that could not have happened by accident.<br/> <br/> 2. If Harry is a Horcrux, Voldemort would have known and would not have made any attempts on his li...

Shoot, and my order for the two non-leather books just shipped yesterday.

<t>Main ones for me were probably The Hobbit, Chronicles of Narnia, and Harry Potter. I've read a tiny bit of the Icewind Dale stuff, and I've wanted to read some of the dragonlance books. As far as Sci-Fi, main ones were Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire trilogy and Michael Stackpole's X-Wing serie...
