Troll Lord Games

The form before this one was at freeyabb but it looks like that site is no longer a forum host, it's gone. Archive has a crawl of it from 2014 well after we moved. (The conversion was late 2010 so we are talking 10 years ago now) https://archive.org/details/troll_lord_games_forum-20140127 I also sti...

Nuked... I kind of figured it was a spam account but I allowed it in anyways, fool me once - pewpew.. Now it just looks like you're talking to yourself serleran

Love the map you posted. Your game sounds like it will awesome, feel free to drop o details as they occur. I'm curious to see how and where you drop the the C&C modules into the Greyhawk environs

No "vital organs". [But I could see Vampire's being an exception because they have odd kill requirements]

By the Book says... When making a back attack, a rogue must use a close-quarters melee weapon. This weapon must be shorter than the character’s arm. A rogue can only use this attack on creatures with a discernible back.The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot, an...

Well that's terrible news. R.I.P John

Yes spell damage hits them. Don;t over think it, magic is magic. When you go down the fireball creates fire, you get into modern physics and chemistry and that is the road to madness in a fantasy game. Keep it simple, is it a spell? then it's magic.

I had a little time today I tried to recreate the colors as best I could using the Prosilver theme. I'm willing to install some other themes as we move also for those who have any favorites. At least it looks more familiar now.

DF and K&K and this are just old forums that got faced with the need to update. Basically they all where running php 5 and phpbb 3.0 all of which is end of life and therefore insecure. I updated to php7 and then did the forum software to the newest version (3.3). Sadly the excellent "style" we had d...

Forum upgrade was complete this is a test post feel free to pile on it. As noted in the warning message the cool green Style is missing but I'll get it worked out.

I have used the "multi-classes" from Astonishing Swordsmen. I just replace skill checks with C&C Siege Engine checks. I'm not familiar with that? I have the AS&SH 1E boxset but I don't see multi-class (subclass?) would love to hear more. --- As for me I ran Class-and-Half BTB thus far with C&C and ...

Goodman games had The Mysterious Tower and there was a C&C port of it. (Also related module Haunted Lighthouse)

I'll did thru my stuff and see if I remember so others.

I'd probably allow it, it's a truck load of spells to throw for a single combat advantage. (I mean compare all that to a wizard throwing fireball) I will add I don't have all the spells in my game so they'd also have to be researched and approved -- that just because a TLG book has spells doesn't m...

And now the song is stuck in my head... DOH!

A18 .... yum

I agree, it does seem like the days of forums are running down, other social media seems to be easier to manage for companies but with 250K+ posts at 17k+ topics here there is so much interesting info. Half the time when I think of something to ask I search and find a long thread about it already. G...

Nice. Yep, it seems most of the lower hit dice creatures convert easily. And just an FYI ~ Gary's leprechaun in Castle Zagyg casts invis, poly, ventriloq, maj & minor image as an 11th level illusionist. And they pick pockets as a 7th lvl thief (rogue). :) Raise Dead Thread cast.... Where did you fi...

It's possible that Mr. Martin just looked the other way when it came up. IANAL nor do I know him but I have read that he is an RPG fan, he certainly played D&D from back then and maybe he just chuckled and moved on. (There some great stories about Zelazny playing with the Santa Fe group, various tab...

Not sure the names Githyanki and Githzerai can be protected did TSR / FF lift them from a novel. Should be easy to do a C&C version if you leave out the history and just stat them.

So given the level progression of 1/0, 2/1, 3/1, 4/2 etc. how does this work? Let’s say we have a Rogue/Wizard. Would it be half of the supporting class if at the same level as the Main class? So if moving from 1/0 to 2/1, it would be the full amount for Rogue to advance to level 2, and ½ of the am...

Twice in 40 years... Once in the 80's (AD&Dish) another part-time player had a Half-Orc Paladin... "Snort, Snort, Unhand that Madien"... It usually got a laugh at the table. The other was more recent using C&C we I dm'd player with Half-Orc fighter. He was pretty tough for sure.

The conversions and EXTRAS are all in the Monsters for C&C sub-forum, I tried to compile a list below. KaiserKris did extensive work and really you could make a book right out of his stuff. Here are links to my generic conversion on the AD&D.. Angels: http://www.trolllord.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=...

If you sift through the Monsters for C&C sub-forum you'll find lots of Demon / Devil posts. So very high level stuff, the Demon Lord posts are awesome. I'll refrain from linking at this point but look out KaiserKris' posts for sure.

Do it!

You are not making it easy to resist buying stuff I have no place to put... But I do want it so let me figure this out

Clarification: From what i understand the C&C Classic Basic White Box Set included with this KS is not a reprint of the earlier C&C White Box; it is it's own thing. That's kinda why I am excited about this KS. I love the original C&C White Box, but it needs a new coat of paint, a bit of expansion (...

I've been trying to not look at Kickstarter.... damnit rolled a 1.. Need to decide between the Basic and Advanced now. [Shakes fist at Traveller] -Mike :twisted: I'd go for the Advanced version. You get everything in the white box plus all the Adventurer's Backpack material. Meanwhile, I've started...

Have you seen the cost of Dr. Pepper lately.

A moderator would not be able to fix this issue. Notice that sieg has never logged into this board, the issue is that when we spun up this board we took *most* of the old forum posts as RAW DATA and inserted them into this forum. The posts you see from that era are just posts no controllable signatu...
