Troll Lord Games

<t>I'm considering lightening my load during session prep. I want it to be even easier to prep monsters than out of the box C&C, my laziness knows no bounds.<br/> <br/> I'm considering using the HD number as the number of hits needed to kill the monster. ie 1HD monsters go down in 1 hit, 6HD mon...

<t>I respectfully disagree Fiffergrund. I see no problem with a hit that causes damage not being reflected as damage in the narrative. When I DM I try to narrate a memorable, engaging, and fun story with the players. <br/> <br/> In some situations it is great to narrate a long battle by describing a...

Drat, I'm unavailable at that time, ah well.

Time?

We play Wednesdays, the times are not rigidly defined. For example, last week we started play around 8:30pm (GMT-6), but this week we will likely start earlier, around 4:00pm (GMT-6). I still have to get the mass email out tonight, but that looks to be the time.

If you do decide to purchase the software, the next step is to PM me so I can get you the setting info and we can arrange a time to create a character for you by next Wednesday.

I think Orhpeus' first post in this thread from early Thursday morning was still referring to those wee morning hours as Wednesday night. The game we're talking about took place Wednesday night and looks likely to do so again next week.

<t>I just ran an FGII game using the C&C ruleset in which the players were awesome! Coincidence? <br/> Also, the game I ran had three players, that's a good number but there is still room for more if any readers of this thread would like to participate. Out of curiosity Orpheus, would you mind a...

I'm getting a Wednesday night game started. Have one player waiting in the wings for a companion or three. You know, so he doesn't die at the first Goblin. We're going to be using FGII to play and Skype to communicate.

<t>Wednesday is the day, the time is open to determination by the players (I'm free all day).<br/> <br/> Fantasy Grounds II, fully updated, is required to play. Also required is Skype, a free VOIP program.<br/> <br/> You do not need to purchase the C&C ruleset to play, but there are some benefit...

Just wanted to express my agreement with those who said picked Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. It just wrapped with the November release of Confessor and was nothing but a good read from the first book to the last.

FR gods are a very active part of the setting, importing them into a setting not designed with them in mind would require overhauling many things in the setting.

Dragondaddy, you win the internet. Thank you.

<t>Have it, love it, but unless you've got a different version than I it does not provide the kind of template I'm talking about. So, while I agree that it is a hugely useful book for designing a homebrew setting, it does not address the specific need I have.<br/> <br/> That aside, 3:7 Common Uses f...

<t>I'm looking for a template for designing a homebrew world. Something that would have categories for things like maps, history, politics, magic, religion, etc. I'm hoping it would have subcategories as well.<br/> <br/> Basically I'd like something like this so that I can keep organized when making...

Shoot me a PM when that happens, if you can handle an extra game that is

Any interest in bundling the downloads to save? I guess I need to look into whether they offer the bundle savings for multiple copies of the full version.

<t>I know everybody here likes to roll with Open RPG and Skype, but I'm thinking of picking up a copy of Fantasy Grounds because of the sheer beauty of the program and interface. If anybody here would like to play I am thinking of getting one of the package deals which would keep the cost down for e...

Seconded.

Ahh! Pun-Pun has followed me!

Just got my PHB! Yay to the nth power where n->infinity!
I'm excited.

<t>No worries there, my group has been wishing there were new books to buy for our game since we have all the 2e stuff we can find already If the conversion goes well there are going to be four new Troll Lords customers and one in particular who'll be eagerly buying anything with Gygax's name on it....

What could I do to make the transition easier on the fighter in the group with a 18/79 Str. It seems like in moving to a straight 18 in C&C he'll be the only one taking a power cut.

So give them the C&C sales pitch (pretty easy) and let them decide if they want to switch now or take some time to think about it?

Also I should be highlighting that it will be less math, and it will streamline our combat and role play?

<t>I would like to convert the current game I'm running from AD&D 2e to C&C. I plan on introducing this idea to my group, who have to the best of my knowledge never heard of C&C, this coming game session.<br/> <br/> I would like to know how long you think it will take to convert the char...

Any room in this campaign for a new C&C player? I'm currently making the switch from 2e D&D to C&C. I'd love to join the game if you have room.
