Troll Lord Games

<t>Congratulations on the purchase! The boxed set is my preferred version of the game. I enjoy "regular" C&C just fine, but something about that boxed set really just clicks with me. I'm a believer that less is more and the CE boxed set delivers. <br/> <br/> If you are looking for more classes, ...

Probably 20-30 minutes of learning curve. Have the played any version of D&D before? If so, a quick 60 second expl...

I just hope it doesn't mean the value of the prints goes down, too much. I doubt it will, but whatever. I think the OCE's will remain valuable. Even t...

What are all the classes? There are. From the PHB product page: The Castles & Crusades Players Handbook allows players to c...

I used to play when it first came out. Not a bad game, I'm just not to much into computer gaming anymore.

Pretty much my opinion. I've played it enough to see that it never really changes, no matter where you are or what level/class you are.

I like to think of her as Aleena's hot sister.

Haha! I LIKE it!!!

Perhaps...though my question was about special abilities combining with racial abilities, which apparently has the opposite answer of Listen checks.

But what character could (or should) be "iconic" to C&C?

*drool*

I trust this would also include an Elven Fighter who takes longsword (or a bow) as their weapon specialization? The +1 and +1 do not stack?

One more vote (and further derailment) on Monks: I'll pass. Reminiscent of a certain scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the guy with the funky flashy moves & kicks still gets shot with the crossbow.

Absolutely! These are the TLG boards, not Dragonsfoot where the mere mention will incite riots. Many of us here aren't overly fond of 3.5, but it won't offend us either.

I dig Dragonsfoot, but the hyper-sensitivity over something so silly sure makes me laugh.

<t>I prefer the two (or three depending on how you view the CKG) book path we have now, with the only support from here on out being primarily through adventures, and also revisons, accesories (dice, screens, etc), sourcebooks/campaign settings, and novelties (minis, stuff like the personalized book...

<r>My goodness, jus looking at their feedback now. <br/> <br/> Wow. <br/> <br/> Sure they have 2,600+ positive this month, but they have over 600 negative/neutral feedback too. That's crazy! I have trouble getting up the nerve to bid on something from someone with more than one negative feedback, mu...

Yes, so much rage! You can calm the beasts within by taking a note from Philotomy Jurament: go Mac!

Somehow the silver hair was the most important thing for her...but at least she's into her character.

Hehe - yeah, gotta use whatever you can!
Congrats!

<t>Basically, at the time, there was jsut the boxed set for classes, so I made small "kits" that modified each of the four classes into a similar class, but with new abilities. Rangers, Paladins, Bards, Druids, etc...stuff that is now available in the PHB for the most part. <br/> <br/> I've lost my ...

Another reason why I will order TLG products only from TLG.

Ink

A great suggestion not only for TLG, but anything! Haivng to deal with a middle man is never worth a small discount!

Not to play the hippy, but it IS wrong!!!

Yeah, that happened to me too the last time I went to replace my printer cartridge.

Somewhere, there is a landfill of these things! *weep*

Also, MUST...RESIST...URGE...TO...PLAY DIABLO!

Not refusing - just exercising patience for the "REAL DEAL"!
Don't cave, Inkpot - I'm with ya, we'll pull through this!

Playing it, or punching out the game pieces! Yeah, it's a fun game, although set-up can take a while.

Hehe, I spared her that misery. But explaining the rules nearly short circuited her. We stopped around page 14 and played Ticket to Ride instead!

I think maybe I'll run a descent boardgame game for my fiance and see how it goes. In the end of the day, I'll be happy to just be left alone to my geeky ramblings!

If you can win her over with Descent, I'll be most impressed! That one gave my wife a headache!

WOW! I'd never seen this thread before. You make some really nice stuff.

I *HATE* making maps! (mostly because I'm terrible at it) Consider 'em "yoinked"!

No preference, really. I'm pretty abstract by nature and not having it spelled out to me in exact hexes is no big deal.

<t>I agree that attitude is the #1 factor in play style. Sadly, I don't find this to be the case with 3.5 D&D.<br/> <br/> Want to toss Skills? Feats? AOA's? Good luck, they're all so tightly intertwined into the class balance, tossing one of them would throw everything out of whack. What good is...
