Troll Lord Games

I believe that is a basic primer for the world of Erde. There is one or two more similiar pdf's available as free downloads at the Trolls website, one has a lot to do with the Dwarven language. I think the other has to do with the gods/religion.

<t>I still play 3e, I just don't DM it. I have a large investment in 3E books. Over 200 books and modules for 3E. C&C doesn't make those books and modules obsolete and it made my old 2E, 1E, and OD&D stuff come out of retirement on top of it all. It is why I compare C&C to the "One ring ...

<t>There is nothing "cool" about my gaming table. It s dinner table with a battle mat with drawn in rooms on it, dice, a handful of character figures, and a bunch of "monster" figures ranging from a minotaur, to an Ogre, to Orcus, to a bunch of hob goblins and skeletons that I use for anything the p...

I put it on the mainland side of that "pass" between Trier and mainland Outremere.

<t>I was afraid of heights and enclosed spaces. The Navy cured me of both. They put me on submarines and made me work at the top of open and empty missile tubes. I'm still afraid of heights, but I am able to be rational about it now, I don't freeze or start to shake like I used to. Enclosed spaces d...

My wife is waiting for a solid date to be given to see if she can do a dog show around there, then we can write stuff off as a business trip, especially food, mileage, and hotel fees.

<t>What kind of Alchemist do you want? Do you want a wizard type that does everything via potions, powders, ointments, and elixirs? Or do you want a spellcasting wizard that is just good at making alchemical things? Or are you looking for some other flavor?<br/> <br/> Now if it is the first type I w...

I hadn't looked it up but if I recall, I think I'm only looking at about a 5 hour trip for me. That rocks. No, I am not a fan of Merle Haggard. He's country, right? I like a fair amo...

That is a 1,165 mile trip for me. I would probably have to drive it alone, too. It would take me two days each way.

I have a hard time believing phobias like that are true. Guess it is because I can't understand why they would be afraid in the first place. Maybe some sicko did some sicko stuff to her when she was very young.

Never mind. My dumb butt clicked on the stupid link and actually read the friggin info. That is a cool looking place. Now I just have to do up a trip ticket to get a mileage estimate for the drive.

Hope I remember how to spell Muskogee, or whatever the friggin name is!

That is a heck of a lot closer than lake Geneva. I lot can change between now and then, but I would have to guess that I can absolutely, poitively be there.

What is the best way to get a hotel? What is the best one to stay at for convenience to the Con?

<t>THE PG to the WL has an Amazon and Sage write up that a C&C conversion could be based on. Anyone have the Dragon mags on CD? There are old Alchemists and witch write-ups in there. Even though I think Ser's Witch would do the job just fine.<br/> <br/> Ooh! I have that "Compleat Alchemist" book...

Poor, poor, addict. No. I really mean poor! Do you even have money for food?

The write up for it on the website sounds very promising.

Seriously, I think part of growing up is realizing it is a healthy and good thing to still play like a kid. Growing up just broadens the field on which you are able to play. For me, RPG's is a field of play I don't want to leave.

Especially on a work night.

<t>Finished it tonight. Details tomorrow, but no deaths (technically there was, but I let them re-roll the save versus the dragon wagon) and during the last resting period of the party I decided that since they were past all the traps the Kobold leader and Shaman decided that an 8 or more hour lead ...

<t>Make people comfortable with the truth that we never really grow up in terms of playing/having fun. So be comfortable with the child inside and when some moron gives you grief do the adult thing and tell them to "F" OFF!! Meanwhile, game as often as possible until the day you die and they pry the...

<t>Geleg,<br/> <br/> Good for you. The only reason I am able to game is because of my wife and 10, 13, and 14 year old gamer family. Nearest gamers I know of are about 50 miles away. Not convenient with gas prices being what they are and owning a 16 miles to the gallon Ford Converson Van gas guzzler...

The Druid is my personal favorite.

<t>A very valid warning, HP's are on a very different scale for 3E than C&C, especially at higher levels, so that difference of scale definitely needs to be taken into account when deciding what HP the creature or character is to have in C&C versus a 3E game.<br/> <br/> I wasn't bringing up ...

<t>If your not talking about classes then am I to understand you don't have an old D&D version available? Or even a 3E?<br/> <br/> Since it does sound like you want to know how many xp's its worth when killed than I think looking at the M&T xp rules (with errata added) and then looking at th...

<t>I think it really doesn't matter as long as you come up with the correct xp award for killing it. <br/> Now I know Ser and Peter have dropped hints, bits, and pieces of how to determine the xp for a class, put I don't remember if a pdf of that info has been made. I would guess you already checked...

<t>I wasn't trying to invalidate your statement. In fact I said it was true. I'm just trying to point out that HP is not the sole determinng factor in how deadly a given encounter can be, there are many variables, such as traps and tactics, that can make the HP almost meaningless in terms of how thr...

You telling me you never watched that twisted cartoon series called "Pinky and the Brain"?

I'm not going to be able to finish tonight. Surprise company coming tomorrow, so we have to make the house "presentable".

<t>Your right, it won't. Because of the tactics and/or traps used, not the HP's.<br/> <br/> Take the believed method of Mastadon hunting. That sucker had a lot of HP's, but apparently it was very afraid of fire and they scared it over cliffs at night, killing it with the fall. Or at least hurting or...

<t>Smart people hunt bears with bows and nice throwing spears and don't engage the bear in hand to hand. Smart Ogres fight bears the same way. Bears don't know how to use range weapons, they can only hope to run you down and maul you. So smart hunters with long range weapons kill bear with no injury...
