Troll Lord Games

<t>Crusader 9 is out; I got mine yesterday. But I know mine was thrown in with an order I had just placed so I'm not sure if all the regular subscriptions (I just renewed mine) have gone out as well or I just got lucky.<br/> <br/> I haven't read it cover to cover yet but, so far, it's looking good.<...

Then a hearty thanks to all!

Indeed (I still say Traveller did most of the work but I'll take one of them thar beers).

<t>In the past, I only really cared about non-glossy pages because it kept cost down and I like the feel better. But, recently, I was digging through a 4e PHB and my buddy's daughter splashed a drop of water on a page. Even just trying to dab the water off caused the ink to smudge all over that fanc...

<t>I'm late to this one so if this has been touched on a million times before...sorry about that. <br/> But am I hearing right...the glossy pages in the PHB 3rd printing and the M&T 2nd printing were mistakes?? If so I'm glad to hear it indeed...I hate glossy pages, they're not near as water res...

Well if it hasn't been said before, Traveller, your efforts are much appreciated!

I've said it before, but it's worth saying again...thanks much for the fine job on the errata. Makes my games run that much better.

<t>I don't have any tables but I do have a critical hit system I use. First off, a 20 in combat is an auto-hit while a 1 is an auto-miss. In addition, if a natural 20 comes up it's a possible critical (as long as the character in question could hit on something other than a natural 20). The characte...

Aqua Vitae wrote: I perused Gygax's PDF, but I am still personally inclined to let the PC who is dual-classing simply utilize the HD (and not just the post-name level HP) of the new class. Perforce, a Knight 10/Rogue 1 would have 10d10 + 1d6 HD. Does anyone see a problem allowing this? If I read th...

<t>Undead Jackal eh? Not a bad idea...I'll look into that. I'll probably have to finish my phylactery first though. <br/> Yeah, I made it back from Poland a while ago and was even still around here for a bit while getting settled in the States. But with jobs, kids, family, moving, etc, etc, etc my g...

<t>Hehe...I'm forced to agree with my fellow play-testers; we were never able to agree on anything when it came to multi-classing. Not even whether to leave it out or not. <br/> I can, however, break down the three systems which TLG has put in print (excluding the melded class method) as I see them....

<t>Thanks for the answers. As for Jackal's Knights I'll get you all the updated info sent along here soon.<br/> <br/> Also, I'll look over what you need done and see if I can get at least some of it taken care of for you. If you have any specific requests feel free to shoot me an e-mail. And no need...

I'll take carrion over fiber anytime.

Well, you know, it costs 5 cp to mint 4, so I just went for the throat.

<t>Do we know where the C&CS stands as of now? I did get (and replied to) the recent e-mail sent out so I know I'm in good standing. I was just curious about a few things.<br/> <br/> 1- Does the web page listing the members still exist and, if so, where the heck can I find it? lol<br/> <br/> 2- ...

Sure thing, happy crusading!

<t>I wrote the "Characters with More Class" article in Crusader 4 so I can field any questions you might have about that one.<br/> <br/> As Serleran mentioned, multi-class characters are always going to be more flexible than a single class, which is why many don't like them and why I'm very careful ...

You can pick up the errata here:

I'm just getting back in the swing of things so I'm not sure if that's complete but knowing Traveller I would guess it is.

Nice to see some of the same old arguments going on. lol I'm looking forward to the CKG myself. While I'll say I think my game will benefit from it, I also have to say I don't think it has suffered while waiting for it. Just my two gold.

I ran my gaming group through that one early on in our C&C days and they loved it. I don't remember for certain but I believe I used the M&T zombies as well.

Luck to you and let us know how it goes.

<t>Howdy all!<br/> <br/> Many of you may not have any idea who I am but some of the old folks around here will remember many battles during the forging of C&C! <br/> I'm finally caught up on life after moving across the ocean and have returned to my full time gaming habits.<br/> <br/> Anyway, ju...

I'll second that one.

<r>Dungeon Crafter 1.41 can be found here:<br/> <URL url="http://www.dungeon.gr/archivesh.php?cid=9">http://www.dungeon.gr/archivesh.php?cid=9</URL><br/> <br/> At least I assume this is what everyone is talking about as I've never used it.

I'm using NBOS Fractal Mapper for my campaign document and it's great. It is, however, not free and does require a little playing with unless you're already familiar with mapping programs (but I guess they all do).

<r>Inkpot, you've got alot of good suggestions up there. But I saw you mentioned combat cards above, and finding them to make things more complex. I've got a really simple one I use for my games that you could eaisly modify to suit you (it's just a word file). If you'd like a copy just e-mail me at ...

<t>I use open-ended damage for all mechanical missile weapons to make bows and the like the feared weapons they should be. I just allow another damage die to be rolled if max damage is rolled on the first (or last).<br/> <br/> If two max damage results are rolled not only is a third rolled but a con...

Welcome to the Crusade...I'm sure you'll find the game is everything you're looking for and more.

I was thinking a dexterity check myself there Serleran.

Excellent idea. I might use this idea in my campaign even though I'm not a big Dragonlance fan. Great work!

<t>The CKG will, indeed, have its share of optional rules but, at its heart, it will be a helping hand to all CKs. Due to the NDA I can't say much more than that (nor am I sure what will and won't make it from our old talks anyway to be honest) but it has always been the intention to make the CKG mu...

Needed or not, I spoke to Steve a few days ago and I'm told talks on the CKG will begin in a matter of weeks. So, while it's still some time away, it is coming.

I've read the first book, and this looks like a good translation. Can't wait to see it.
