Troll Lord Games

<t>The Matrix aside....<br/> <br/> Im thinking of the original Dawn of the Dead zombies. When they were gassing up the helicopter, that zombie got his head chopped off by the whirling copter blades while trying to get the people. Or countless movies where zombies stick their hands/arms in shutting d...

<t>I think "mindless" is even a step below "animal". I don't think mindless Undead have any "instincts" except slay the living. You can teach a dog to sit, roll over fetch, track,etc. without "clerical compulsion". Maybe I treat Undead differently or the wrong way. But to me, they have no survival i...

<t>Mindless Undead? I'd say they'd go until they fall.<br/> <br/> If a Necromancer ordered a Zombie into a situation where it would be destroyed(such as entering a fiery inferno),it would still go. IMHO a Zombie doesnt think about self preservation. If Zombies spotted a potential victim on the other...

If I can bother you a minute...Whats a Gallowglass??

Nope, I appreciate it. Feel free to add some. I'll take requests too.

Thanks!!

<t>Return to White plume has very little to do with the original. Very little. There is even a 4th magic weapon and a whole section of dungeon not covered in the original. If your players played the original , they won't notice alot of things that are familiar.<br/> <br/> Return to Keep is pretty cl...

Its under "L" for Lycanthrope. Im kinda skipping around a bit too.

The Return to the Keep on the Borderlands is pretty good too.
Its fun to compare them to the originals.

Oh, his operation was a success then? Congrats.

Dragon Mag #106 -Plethora of Paladins.

Elf chick with horse and psudoragon familiar on the cover.

The Paladin could use a tweek.

Smite Evil is weak. Compare it to the Ranger's ability vs. Giants & Humanoids. Those foes are common in most campaigns & the abilty is always usable. Starts at level 1, not 9 too.

I gotta look for that Paladin article, I know have it.

How witty & entertaining.....yawn....ZZZZZZZzzzzzz.

MERP Middle Earth Role-Play Game had counters. Didn't Steve Jackson Games have Cardboard Heroes?? Probably others too. Good idea for a seperate project.

C&C Jr. is in development.

C&C Basic.

Ahh, thats nothing! Show your real devotion to C&C! Get a C&C tattoo! Any volunteers?

I love the old classic modules. Just picked up "Return to" White Plum Mountain and Keep on the Borderlands. Good stuff.

Great. Now Im cross-eyed. Jerk. I guess I'll get a job working at a gas station.

8 days from the USA to Canada is a miracle. I've shipped many packages to Canada & cross-border shipping is a nightmare.(usually)

Have fun with the books. Now you're somebody!!

Its like cutting your own throat. WOTC is way bigger then TLG. Crusader should have enough content especia...

Personally, Im against other games being covered. I'd like the Crusader to stick with Troll Lord games. If I want other stuff, I'll buy their magazine. Maybe just me.

Mine says 2007 inside.TLG80103. How do I tell which printing it is?

Does he ever wear armor??? Maybe a AC boost while unarmored like a Monk.

<t>Maybe I have a strange way of doing things, but I have never given XP for finding gold or magic items. Having wealth is its own reward. I just gave XP on how well the player performed in the adventure. If he accomplished the parties goals, or his own, overcome traps, defeated monsters(not always ...

Another DEFINITE BUY by Troll Lords added to my list.

Its C&C BASIC. Key word- BASIC. Thats why Races are "classes". It will let newbies learn the basics(that word again!!) before moving on to the hard stuff(hard covers??)

Personally, I can't wait. Sounds great.

<t>Questions about the CK Guide is going to ome up, over and over....<br/> <br/> Don't let it bother you,it shows interest & growing popularity of C&C. Be bothered if no one cares about the CKG.<br/> <br/> p.5 C&C Player's Handbook<br/> <br/> "WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PLAY??<br/> <br/> ..... ...

Even if you would sticky it,they wouldnt read it & they'd post anyway. Its the same on every forum,the same questions repeat,over & over & over....

A Charm Person or Hold Person spell works wonders too.
Or gold, lotsa gold.....
I think the Fighter is fine as is. Well, except Combat Dominance could use a tweek.

<t>I had a player who consistently picked a Fighter. Usualy a Dwarf Fighter, but thats a different thread. I asked him why. His reasons were bascally this.....<br/> <br/> He didn't want a Paladin, too goody-good, too many rules/restrictions.<br/> <br/> No Cleric, some of the same reasons as a Paladi...

I love Greyhawk. I have the Living Greyhawk Gazeteer. Good stuff.

"As you look into the spiders tunnel, you think you seem a slight glimmer, as of light on metal."

That should be enough. Sometimes you gotta hook em a bit.
