Troll Lord Games

I have a number of sourcebooks planned to expand and further focus different styles of play. I just need to get the Trolls on board with them. Working on it.

Another question. Why the skills, and "feats" One of the best things about C&C was not having them. Then don't use them. They are in the optional rules chapter. The game will work just fine without using backgrounds, knowledges, and Traits. These just represent another (explicitly opt...

So far as I'm aware, no, they won't. They were exclusive to the pre-order package.

I like the base 15 myself. The more I see of Amazing Adventure I can see it's rules showing up in the next C&C edition. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but do you always add your character level or do you not when it's secondary? The only time you don't add character level is when you are attempti...

I submitted my homebrew one for inclusion; Pete decided to go with his design.

Yeah, magic, psionics, and gadgets are not assumed to be part of the game. AA is a toolkit--use what you like and dump the rest.

I read where prime gives you a +5 and that the base is 15. 1. Why is this different from the 15 +3/-3 in the CKG? 2. Where is the part about secondary? Is it a -5? Hi, Nightstorm! Try not to overthink this--it's not that different from C&C. 1. Amazing Adventures is not Castles & Crusades an...

Keep Calm

and

GAME!

Steve said all the pre-orders shipped before it went to distribution.

Amazing Adventures shipped to distributors yesterday. So it should be available in stores in a week or two. I'm not sure if the screens and adventure are out to distributors as well, but if they're not yet I presume they will be very soon (they are done; I know that much). Remember to go to your FLG...

The Pulpomatic Adventure Generator

That's a great idea generator.

RESPONDED.

I'll definitely post the link as soon as it's live.

Hey, all, I'm doing a kickstarter to fund the self-publishing of my second novel, entitled The First Battle . This is intended to be book one in my forthcoming series, The Chronicles of Charlie Morning and Mr. Night . Here's the sales blurb from the kickstarter, and some background about me for thos...

Steve just posted on my facebook page that they are packing pre-orders and getting ready to ship to distributors.

Traits have the benefit and drawback. Backgrounds and Knowledges give you specialized bonuses.

Serleran, I love it--especially in campaigns that use the Sanity rules. Work something in where fetishes carry some sort of SAN cost with them...that'd be horrific and awesome.

Neat ability, but I'd be more inclined to build a new class around it...if it's restricted to Arcanists only, it kind of defeats the purpose of being a Generic Class Ability...

IMO, an excellent resource for any gamemaster running a plup game is Lester Dent's Master Fiction Plot For those not in the know, Lester Dent was the creator and primary writer for the Doc Savage series of pulp novels. Amazing Adventures specifically references Dent's Master Fiction Plot in the GM ...

Not so far as I know. I believe the Trolls said it was going to press last week (though I could be in error about that).

I actually was just discussing sword and sorcery with my gaming group yesterday. I'd have to sell the Trolls on this, but I wouldn't mind doing a C&C/AA crossover sourcebook to cover sword and sorcery pulp. I also want to do a "modern pulp" book at some point that would bring the AA ru...

Planetary romance and retro future would be very interesting sub-genres to tackle, actually...

I could be wrong (will need to look into it) but I believe the John Carter books are public domain now, which means we could, theoretically, do an actual Barsoom sourcebook...

Sounds like an interesting idea. I'd be curious to hear how it works in actual play. Although, to keep things standardized, if I were to do something like this the base difficulty would be 15 + monster HD (standard SIEGE check difficulty), with the check being a standard Dex SIEGE check, adding AC b...

I personally am against a meta-setting for Amazing Adventures. The specific design goal was to be able to use it to run any kind of pulp you like. It's designed as a toolkit game without specific setting-based assumptions. That being said, there will be something more akin to meta-settings in the va...

My own recommendation would be for Pugilists and Arcanists not to be able to multiclass with anyone, as these two classes require a lifetime of devotion on the part of the practitioner. Anything else would be fair game.

Transdimensional TMNT. Great sourcebook for what was probably Palladium's best game.

I think it'd be cool to do a sci-fi sourcebook for AA, covering things like It Came from Outer Space, Flash Gordon, etc.

But I'm not sure what the plans are for StarSIEGE and I don't want to step on the toes for that particular project.

I'm thinking I need to add two classes. One is the mastermind Class. Think bard, but people actually listen to what he has to say. This way I can stat up the crew From leverage and the A-team as pulp heroes. And got a class for Hannibal and Nate. The Socialite fills this role, if you look. It has a...

Love it!

Sorry, all of that is on the Trolls' end--I have nothing at all to do with the production process

Sorry if I came across as challenging you--not my intent. It's just strange that it wasn't included. I do know that Pete got it all in there, and it should be incorporated into the print version, so I presume the PDF will also be updated.
