Troll Lord Games

<t>Once again, the answer given doesn't really answer the question.<br/> <br/> If the definition of humanoid given isn't the intent, why offer it in the first place?<br/> <br/> What I'm after here is the BY THE BOOK, defionitive answer to what creatures are affected by the Combat Marauder class abil...

<t>I'm playing a Ranger in Johnathan of WhiteHaven's Crater of Umeshti campaign. I looked through M&T to see what the Combat Marauder class ability would include and here's what I found:<br/> <br/> Rangers are +1 to damage versus Humanoids PER LEVEL.<br/> <br/> Humanoids are defined as: a creatu...

<t>1. Non-glossy, thicker paper. My copy has taken a bit of a beating,<br/> <br/> and the crappy (sorry) paper is not very durable. It's also difficult to<br/> <br/> make corrections on the glossy paper. This is my #1 complaint.<br/> <br/> 2. a. Reorganize the sections. <br/> <br/> Races before clas...

<t>In my game there were magical toilets, water faucets, and bath tubs (as well as a plumbing system to support them) n a "dungeon" that was an underground stronghold. The style of play I've been involved with for thirty years implied 'potty breaks' and the like in the form of "morning ablutions' wh...

<t>At my table (and that of my associate, Johnathan of White Haven), we use a very simple 'delay' system. All characters roll a d20 for initiative (we like the spread a d20 allows) every round. If a character wants to wait and see how things play out during a round, when their 'turn' comes during th...

How can a sphere have a razor edge?

<t>At what level can a Magic User scribe scrolls? Brew potions? 1st edition had some data on this, but C&C is (purposely?) vague on the subject.<br/> <br/> Could a first or second level spellcaster attempt these activities?<br/> _________________<br/> Meet me at Stonehenge at Midnight.

On page 48 of the PHB it says: (column 1, paragraph 2) Quote: ... a character can simply read the spell into a spell book. Doing so copies the spell into the character's spell book, but destroys the scroll in the process. This sounds like the way I remember doing it in 1st edition way back in the da...

<t>Years ago, Johnathan of White Haven and I ran twin dwarvish Fighters that worshipped Jehovah, Yaweh, etc., (they were of jewish-greedy faith-alignment). We took them out adventuring in a small party. We wandered around fighting whatever popped up and somehow found ourselves in 1930s New York! All...

<t>My group is exploring a wizard's tower. Two weeks ago, (Saturday, the 8th) they encountered the wizard's homunculus, his name was Gygax! I couldn't help myself, I looked over at the (physically) empty chair we set at the table, the character sheet, and the dice and it just felt right. I hope Gary...

<t>With sadness, I post the following:<br/> <br/> MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- Gary Gygax, who co-created the fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons and helped start the role-playing phenomenon, died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva. He was 69.<br/> <br/> He had been suffering from health pro...

The Keeper's Advice column seems to be off to a fine start! Let's keep t going and get the Trolls to see how valuable it is...

<t>After reading some rather heated discussion in another thread, I feel that we need to get this out in the open and attempt to get some resolution of the issue that came up.<br/> <br/> There is a tendency here to turn left at Albuquerque when someone posts a question about the rules. <br/> <br/> I...

<t>In an effort to add 'depth' to the game, we implemented a skills system (adapted from 3rd edition)in my 1st edition game about ten months ago. We quickly found that it bogged the game down, and took away the spontaneity of off the cuff roleplay.<br/> <br/> We pretty much ignored the skills after ...

Quote: I give starting magic-users a 'tuned' magic staff in place of the ability to call a familiar. The staff lets wizards do some neat stuff at lower levels that allows them be much more involved with the game once their spells are cast - 20 magic bolts per day, some minor abilities based on the ...

<t>In my (newly coverted to C&C) game, I award personal XP to each character for damage done to monsters. For example: Balthock hits a Frost Giant and does 15 points of damage (weapon + STR Bonus + weapon bonus). The player records this damage, keeping encounters separate. At the end of the sess...
