Troll Lord Games

I like Horror roleplaying games and even though I haven't actually played it yet, the Unknown Armies game simply oozes atmosphere.

It is one of the best roleplaying books I have read. The fiction in is just downright creepy at times.

Thanks. Are you sure I won't miss any character development or story continuity by skipping ahead to the forth film??

Well let me put it this way: I cannot for the life of me remember any of the character's names from any of the parts I've seen.

Thank you for the answer. I actually did check the errata but somehow missed the entry concerning this.

I am sitting here reading the Equipment chart on page 41 (PHB 3rd edition) and only the Mace, large has the superscript 7 (double damage while on a charging mount).

Shouldn't the 2 lances also have this ability and what does the ** next to the damage in both lances entries mean?

<t>I love to read Robert E.

We play today right?

<t>GM (aka me): "As you stand over the lifeless body of the evil merchant who you found out had stolen the magic ring, you see his young 8-year old daughter standing in the doorframe. She is absolutely terrified at the sight of you standing over her dead father with a bloody short sword in hand."<br...

A big problem with the group I was DMing was that they would not run from any encounter ever, but still get upset if they died or came close to death.

Ok so the party was a little unbalanced due to the lack of a cleric, but still.

Having glanced it over, I wasn't terribly impressed at first, but as I skimmed further in I got more intrigued.

I felt the same way at first. It all looked so simple. But the secret lies in how the ideas all work together.

<t>I just also bought the Mythic Variations, and I have to say I was a little disappointed by them on the first read through. The first few pages had some excellent tips on running Mythic in general and GM free games but the setting specific stuff seemed disappointing.<br/> <br/> If anyone is intere...

I meant that I've finished reading the Conan collections and now want to read some Bran Mak Morn or Kull which are completely new to me.

Which one would you recommend?

Man shipping would be too high to Germany so no thanks. But you have reminded me that I need to get some new Howard stuff.

<t>What do you folks do when a Module from D&D calls for things with percentage chances? Do you just do it by the module or do you use SIEGE checks? Also how did saves work in D&D & AD&D?<br/> <br/> SPOILER ALERT Highlight to read<br/> For Example I was reading White Plume Mountain a...

<t>No this is a little different.<br/> <br/> While it does contain some charts which throw random words at you at certain points, you have to use your gut feeling of working it into the storyline in a way that makes sense.<br/> <br/> So it doesn't throw "A Ghost appears at you" at you, but rather so...

<t>Well basically you ask the system questions and then depending on how likely the DM (or the player/s) judges it to be you get a yes or no answer which the DM (or again player/s if playing without DM) must then use logic to fit into the adventure. It also throws things like random encounters and e...

<t>Have any of you tried this out or heard about it?<br/> <br/> It's basically a system that helps you adlib adventures.<br/> <br/> The theory is you can run an adventure with just a simple idea and theoretically without a DM.<br/> <br/> Now I read through and the idea really does seem great to help...

Well I'm thinking saddlebags have the capacity of two large pouches. That seems about right, but an official or semi official ruling would be nice.

So how much fits into Saddle Bags?

I'm assuming they can be combined with a regular saddle?

Just placed my order.

PHB, M&T + 6 Adventures.

That should keep me busy

<t>Hey ssfsx17,<br/> <br/> I would be glad to join your game if you'll have me. I would probably just play a straight cleric.<br/> <br/> What Setting are you using? What are some typical deities etc.?<br/> <br/> Also should I pm you my character sheet or just post it in this thread?<br/> <br/> (Also...

Yeah I was thinking of 6 GMT in the evening i.e 18:00

It could be as late as 22:00 GMT to start if it's on a weekend.

Please let me know if you have an opening ssfsx17 that would be great

<t>Hi,<br/> <br/> I'd love to try out some C&C as a player, but most games seem to to take place at bad times or are full.<br/> <br/> Are there any people who would like to play in / run a game starting at around 6-9 GMT?<br/> <br/> This would most likely be on a weekend I'm guessing.<br/> <br/>...

Hmm okay that's not really a great time.

I thought that maybe you guys started in the afternoon, but that's alright.

Will have to look for a different game I guess (or start my own).
Thanks anyway.

I would love to join your game but I would need to know at what time you play since I live in the GMT+1 Zone.

Let me know if the slot is still open.
