Troll Lord Games

I enjoy a good dose of cartoon violence every once in a while... it's no Bugs Bunny, but I thought it was pretty funny.

<t>And again, as Jonus Blackthorn stated above, the ranger possesses the ability to move absolutely silently if he makes his roll. A cleric does not possess that skill, so the Prime Dex roll would allow the cleric to move quietly, armor and situation permitting, but not silently like a ranger could....

Ahlwyn will continue to use his bow until he cannot from a safe distance... then I'll drop it and start swinging. Let me know.

Saw this over the weekend, and it's an enjoyable flick imho.

Ahlwyn readies his bow, pulling an arrow from his quiver and letting loose an arrow at one of the oncoming creatures.

Ahlwyn continues on the path with his companions, eyes peeled for trouble but otherwise silent. He seems to enjoy this jaunt outside of town and breathes a sigh of relief at each breath of wind that crosses the companions' path.

<t>While I'm not interested in one hundred and fifty new variations on the core classes for C&C, I'm all for rounding out the archetypes. I think there should be a swashbuckling/dex-based fighter (just as I always did with AD&D), I would love to see the necromancer as its own class with its ...

Eibon,

Is there a way to grab a larger version of the map, I can't read the smaller version and attempting to enlarge it using my minimal paint skills only makes it bigger and blurrier.

Why is it that everyone knows how to draw nice maps except me?
Nice!

<t>We had this discussion some months ago.<br/> <br/> Secondary skill abilities are not class abilities. You don't throw out the common sense'ness' of C&C just because you add in secondary skills. For instance, just because a secondary skill includes swimming doesn't mean that no one can swim wh...

<t>I'm tempted to allow PCs to pick a secondary skill at first level based on their character history... that gives them just a touch of individuality. <br/> <br/> Thereafter, they can purchase additional secondary skills or bumps for the secondary skill they picked. It seems like a big deal for a l...

<t>Ahlwyn walks to the table and retrieves the parchment. He unrolls it carefully. Glancing about the map, he searches for bearings and landmarks.<br/> <br/> [I assume as a druid I'm familiar with the immediate area at the very least.]<br/> _________________<br/> ----------------<br/> <br/> Moorcrys...

Yeesh it's huge.
Looks good. Are you just messing around with it or do you have plans for it in some capacity?

<t>It's not in the rules, though nothing prevents you from doing so yourself.<br/> <br/> Since C&C isn't as stat-uber as 3E is, I might allow them to bump a prime stat every six or eight levels as opposed to four. <br/> <br/> But truthfully, I'm more for introducing magical items: librams, tomes...

<t>Yeah in some strange sort of turnaround, I've cracked open my 2nd Edition Complete Priest, Wizard spell compendiums as well as the Encyclopedia Magica for items... they seem to fit more into to C&C powerline.<br/> <br/> I agree that the trouble that arises with 3E spells is their bonuses need...

<t>"Indeed, with stories of the walking dead and a necromancer's lair, we would do well to travel with you, good priest.

<t>I don't think anyone is particularly worried... at least that's not the impression I get from the above messages.<br/> <br/> I am, however, interested. What happens to D&D tends to have significant repercussions throughout this small industry. I haven't seen anyone comparing C&C to 2nd Ed...

<t>On a side note, Monte Cook has just put up a "line of sight" article where he states he's reprioritizing his life and moving malhavoc press to the back burner while he pursues other interests. That combined with the 4E rumors, I'm wondering if he has some specific knowledge that the edition he ha...

Hopefully folks are taking this all with the grain of salt it deserves. "Someone I know had lunch with someone he knows and blah blah blah" isn't much to base anything on.

Not that big of a deal, I think.

Nice man!

Love the old school maps. On the ENworld thread you said you used CorelDraw. Do you still use that program? Have you tried Dunjinni or CC3?

Damn man I'm green with envy, I wish I had the talent to map that way by hand.
