Troll Lord Games

<t>The younger gamers like crunchy, plain and simple. Maybe it comes from the introduction of card combos in MtG? That used to be keen. Maybe it's cause younger gamers tend to be introduced to paper rpgs via computer rpgs where crunch rules (no pun intended)? They're more tactical oriented?<br/> <br...

Gah! Where's the 12th day stuff?

Nothing "core," but there are some non-ripped-from-previous-editions stuff in 3rd party books, and what WotC has made that is not "core," generally, sucks.

Uh... What? I no follow.

Found it. It's in the attribute checks section of the rules.

<t>What are everyone's favorite 3.x rules? I talking about individual rules that you like and might house rule into C&C. An example for me is smallish creatures getting a bonus to hide checks. What are yours?<br/> _________________<br/> ::: Shane<br/> <br/> ::: Rational thought, not superstition...

<t>So I got the little collector's edition boxed set in the mail the other day and I read through the books. One thing I noticed... maybe I'm missing something...<br/> <br/> The Rogue's Abilities say what they are and how to do the roll, but there's no mention of how they improve with experience.<br...

Yes, yes, I was just kidding. I've had enough RPG hating over at the Hrnforum to last several life times.

Your avatar looks like it hates it all so that's fitting.

<t>So, as C&C fans, do we hate 4E with the white hot intensity of a thousand fiery suns? What's the party line?<br/> <br/> Hee, ok, that was just kind of a joke.<br/> <br/> I don't plan on playing 4E, but I'll certainly buy the core books to read and 'just have'.<br/> <br/> What about you guys?<...

<t>Hey, cool!<br/> <br/> When I'm ready to switch over I'll revisit this topic. I'm guessing we'll probably play to about 6th or 7th level with D&D before doing the switch. But the players could surprise me and demand we switch right away. Anyway, I'll be back with this.<br/> <br/> I like the id...

Go for broke, man! Use 3d6. From the Unearthed Arcana. It applies to 2d10 as well. Quote: In general, this variant leads to a grittier D&D game, because there will be far fewer very good or very bad rolls. Not only can you no longer roll 1, 2, 19, or 20, but most rolls will be clustered around t...

Yeah, I'm waiting, too. I wanna get a bunch of C&C stuff, but I'd rather do it all at once.

3d6, back in the 1e days. Just for consistency (bell curve and all that). We even tried using 3d6 for atack rolls, but it just wasn't the same.

Then C&C the heck out of Hrn!

I was toying with the idea of doing a C&C guide for Hrn and calling it:
Peasants & Pottage - a game of bad teeth and death by infection

That'll be funny. Our wizard is a cross-eyed Gnome with a limp.

<t>I've just recently started my first ever D&D 3.x campaign, the Shackled City adventure path, using Fantasy Grounds II. So so far so good. But I know the players - my wife and my best pal - are pretty keen on old school gaming and have expressed interest in continuing the Shackled City with C&...

I've missed out on Harn. I do know there is a big box set of Harn down at the gameshop right now though.

That's all you need. Worth it for the map alone. I wouldn't bother with the rest, though, assuming you can find it.
