Troll Lord Games

Ok, here is the start of what I am calling FantaSIEGE... Please constructive feedback is welcomed, and needed. I haven't worked out the full mechanic for spell casting yet. Not sure if I want to use Drain as laid out in the SFM or have some sort of a power-well that gets Drained. If the latter I may...

So I had been working on this in the past, before getting pulled to other concerns. I pulled up the file before running to work this AM and found that I worked my way through the Field Manual to the Nova Points section. Basically a bit of rewrite, and some notes on the conversion of attributes to/fr...

It's a fairly big part of the concept I'm going for to have the fairly big boosts at level 20 (I also added tentative Ascension powers to t...

<t>I like it!<br/> <br/> Only things I would consider changing are adding-<br/> <br/> Traps (as a Ranger)<br/> <br/> Resist Elements (as druid) at 3rd level<br/> <br/> Woodland Stride (as druid) at 5th Level<br/> <br/> This would give them some additional skills that would be exceptionally beneficia...

Indeed I use FF, with ABP, but with the fast and furious updates to FF that have occurred, there are times ABP is a bit behind and isn't compatible so you have to wait some time before...

Good, Hopefully with a good board posting traffic will pick up a good bit.

Whole heartedly agree, I have not been as active since the ads have been more intrusive!

<t>It shouldn't be to hard to generate a point buy system, if you wanted to use FoB as a miniatures war game rather than a supplement to C&C. You can approach it in many ways, but I will give two examples.<br/> <br/> The first requires more prep-work as you need to codify abilities and such as d...

I was thinking it would be cool to incorporate a projector for as a game aid, but also wonder if it would be more of a distraction. Aside from Power Point, the lapto...

<r>Another way you can take it also would be with the 1st/2nd/4th Edition Gamma World rules, or the d20 Gamma World stuff if you can't get/don't have the early TSR GW. Also, the Mutant Future rules from Goblinoid Games is a retro clone of 1st Ed. Gamma World. <URL url="http://goblinoidgames.com/muta...

Secret Skeleton wrote: U1 Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh is not only my favorite adventure, but also pretty rocking awesome, to boot. It is full of great opportunities to screw with the players. As I have stated on other posts, U1 is just incredible. A grand puzzle to figure out, especially if you ca...

<t>That is really bad. Out of four pieces of information, they got it wrong on three, four of five if you end up including the drivers license number. These are the reasons why some people have a negative view of the police. I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt myself, they have volunteered ...

It's not going to be anything like what they were hoping for. And Glamdring? You're going to have to defeat the trolls to get it, an...

ThrorII wrote: OK, the C&C PHB gives each helm style an AC value (+1 to +7), with an asterisk that says that helm ac is only against head strikes. There are no RAW for head strikes, meaning it is a CK decision. I seemed to remember that a head shot is -4 to hit. I think it was one of the Troll'...

Traveller wrote: If I didn't, would I be here talking to you about it? One of d20 System's great failings was in the elimination of deleterious consequences to a character. In d20, what do you have?

Uh, whats up with the main web page? Now don't get me wrong, I'd love for it to be the days leading up to GenCon right now, but...

<t>rule light(er) version, or at least a not so verbose version. Really only 11 rules, so not bad.<br/> <br/> A character may have a number of classes limited only by prime attribute selection and xp.<br/> <br/> At any time after gaining enough xp to gain one level over and above their previous clas...

<t>Well, unfortunately Dragonward also kicked our behinds! Oh, we got through the puzzle rooms on this portion of the adventure with little issue, and some really cool puzzles including a large labyrinth, you know like those little boxes that pivot on two axis and you have to maneuver a ball bearing...

<t>Well, yesterday went by to fast, yet at the end of the day most of us couldn't believe it was just day one of the con!!!<br/> <br/> Started our gaming on Wed. night with C&C, running the GenCon gang through their first C&C game. I had decided upon using the old TSR "A" series of modules, ...

<t>Sitting in my hotel room in Indy, eagerly awaiting the opening of GenCon, listening to the other gamers snoring their heads off after a long session of C&C last night I get the idea to check on Gygax Games. Being sucked into C&C after hitting the Trolls booth a few years back, seeing the ...

<t>How many coins per EV? Well that really depends on how you view your coins... huge disks, or small like modern coins?<br/> <br/> Still, if you liked 1E with 10 coins = 1#, using my calculation from my previous post, taking the baseline of when one is considered to not be encumbered...<br/> <br/> ...
