Troll Lord Games

<t>Sorry, Serleran. I had forgotten that you were heading it up now. I didn't mean anything personal against you. You have most certainly tried to get it going. <br/> <br/> I have no knowledge of website stuff or I would have helped.<br/> <br/> However, every time I have volunteered to do something ...

<t>Omote is quite right.<br/> <br/> If you've let it be known that you want to be in the Society, even if you haven't heard anything, you should consider yourself part of it. Several of us have volunteered a number of times to try and get things rolling, but the Trolls seem to indicate that often th...

Just had my 6 and 8 year-old boys party today.

They had Star Wars and Space cakes.

Do you have to make a siege check to get the piece with a Troll on it?

<t>I never seem to have a clue what these debates are about. I guess I don't got to enough forums. Maybe four or so on a daily basis. I used to try and look at more of them, but I got all weirded-out because everywhere I went, the two greater gods of rpgs, Serleran and Rhuvein, were already there. <...

<t>For me, I have always enjoyed, I think it is Treebore's idea, that after a character successfully attempts an action that mimics a feat through siege checks a dozen or so times, they get that action as a personal feat from then on, although a siege check is still required to see if it succeeds.<b...

Welcome Saarlander!

Nothing personal - it was just way too scripted for my tastes.

Yup, glad to hear your son is doing well.

It is amazing what they can do with little ones, even rebuild parts that didn't form right in the womb.

Don't become a stranger, you Mr. 1613 posts!

Exactly my thought, but everybody's homebrew can be different.

Hobgoblins, I think they should be able to ride horses -maybe even have a kind of cavalry of their own.

<t>Off topic a bit, but when I was serving in MO, the Catholic diocese tried to get me to try to become a priest even though I was married with one child. Apparently the last Pope was pretty open to ordaining protestant pastors to try and fill the gap. There was no guarantee that I would be ordained...

I am so sorry to hear that.

Glad you all liked hearing this. I thought it was worth sharing. It is amazing how often people have a bad experience of church. Believe me, you don;t want to hear most of my stories.
