Troll Lord Games

Still confused about what's in the box. Definitely rules, plus tiles & counters of some sort?

Central New Jersey here...seems like South & Midwest might be overrepresented?

<t>I made an auto-roller for non-magic treasure per the M&T's tables (which, since it include the tables & relationships of the tables contained in the book, I'm not sure I can share it), but I think others might find the average non-magic loot value for each treasure type useful.<br/> <br/>...

<t>On topic: math is great in games, but if you want fast gameplay, math anyone needs to look up or think about for more than a few minutes, is probably not conducive to great fun. This is largely an audience of C&C players, so thats probably a bit of a duh.<br/> <br/> Off topic:<br/> <br/> I th...

<t>Another issue that can occur is a router outage or other issue somewhere between you and all the popular parts of the internet. Because of how routing works, this can cause some folks to lose connection while others see no performance affect.<br/> <br/> Put another way, it might not be your ISP o...

The healing doesn't bug me as much as the power words...I can see the healing, but the Power Words come from raw arcane power illusionists explicitly avoid.

I read that same bit in the preview here, and I'm a bit confused as well...

Unless secondary attributes mean something more like half-elves special +2 to a secondary attribute? That seems to make sense since this appears to be a powered up setting.

Double damage dice on a 20 (but it goes both ways), no critical fumbles due to endless player whining. 'Why would my arrow hit him, I was aiming for the other guy!?' Etc.

<t>I wouldn't let them rapid shot, because C&C has relatively few attacks per round, and that steps on the fighters class ability.<br/> <br/> If I were to make that a check, it would be a CL 10 check (level of a fighter who could do it normally), with failure resulting in -10 to the attack roll ...

<t>All my games so far have been in a world loosely based on colonial->antebellum America...but with medieval weaponry, feudalism, and no guns. <br/> <br/> There isn't really a map, and aside from the few truths about the world I've made known (like the couple of kingdoms where action happens, why t...

<t>Maptools is pretty good. Maybe overkill if you don't need a tactical map, or you & your players like rolling in IRC or with the real item. Big upside: no having to explain to players what to roll when if they don't know the game as well...but for C&C, its not too tricky to figure out.<br/...

<t>If the strike hits, its weapon damage - armor value of the target's armor (which does 1 point of durability damage to the armor itself) = wounds.<br/> <br/> Physique would only be added to the attack roll, and not increase damage, unless the SE ruled that an unarmed attack also applied.<br/> <br/...

<t>Hey all. I love the StarSIEGE rules, but as I've been generating Items/Races/Powers for my setting, I've hit a few stumbling blocks.<br/> <br/> 1. Bionic base races. Is it 'cheating' to give these interference points to start, or is that better handled with penalties to cyber empathy & social...

It seems like monster/item SR were written with different SR systems in mind...especially the "on caster level checks made to overcome spell

resistance" in the spell resistance bonus line of the robes of the archmagi on page. But I'm probably reading that wrong.

I love the campaign log! Sounds like your adventures went really well. I also dig the graveyard, which hearkens in my mind to nethack/adom/roguelikes. Quick question: How long, in real time, were these sessions?

<t>The DC is a little different, sorry for the confusingness/messiness of the post.<br/> <br/> Here's a slightly better version. 0 level spells count for 1/2 spell level, rounded up when checked. The modifier for previous spells is shared between all types, so casting a level 9 spell (at level 17) w...

<t>So, I was trying to make a psionic class that didn't use power points or effectively cast spells(which is a pretty lame mechanic), and came up instead with what looks like an okay alt-casting system. I'm not sure I'd ever use it, because I can't really see players taking spell failures well, but ...

Thanks for all the advice! All the players have complained about pace, and between the threat of lurking doom, a stricter no metagaming policy, and mastery of the tools, I'm hoping our next session will get along better. And maybe the PCs will see level 2!

<t>Hey all,<br/> <br/> I've been playing a bit of C&C with some friends, and its gone mostly very well. We played a bit while together at school, someone else ran a one-shot Tomb of Horrors (which went well for the half we did of it, but we lost our sheets at the end of the year ). My somewhat s...

<t>An illusionist in a game I run used similar tricks in order not to be useless.

Thanks all for the affirmation (I maxed at 1). I was afraid maxing at 1 might make weinies out of my players, but even maxing my monsters, it seems to have panned out...haven't killed one yet.

Didn't realize there were so many ways to roll for hp, either.

<t>Hey all, I'm new to C&C (went with it over alternatives because minis and mountains of rules ain't for me), and pnp rpg'ing in general, as are my players, and I was wondering how people handle their HD rolls. <br/> <br/> My players were rolling, and the barbarian got a 3, while the cleric got...
