Troll Lord Games

Aragorn/Strider will always be my favourite.

Faramir was another from the books, but I didn't like him as much in the movies, and I didn't like Boromir in the books, but I liked him in the movies.

Wow, very cool. I'd completely forgotten about that rpg.

Definitely.
Both graciously accepted my praise (Larry especially so). I contemplated dropping Gary's name, since I've been working with him, but I ultimately decided not to. I didn't consider myself worthy.

This Con always has some very interesting guests. And still attending, one who I would very much like to meet and get HER autograph - Anne McCaffrey!

I missed her this past year, but I did meet Margaret Weiss and Larry Elmore. Both were very nice.

<t>Hello Trolls!<br/> <br/> Firstly, I'm starting to make plans for DragonCon '07, and since I'm now living in the Atlanta area, I was wondering if Troll Lords was interested in getting a table in the dealer room to advertise their products?<br/> <br/> Being a writer for Gary's Yggsburgh project (I'...

<t>I've been a big Robotech Fan since it hit the TVs here in NA. I've seen all the episodes (including Sentinels), had all the comics and novels, the Robotech Art books, and the rpg books. I'm even part of the Robotech team for SETI. heh. <br/> I picked up the Robotech Remastered dvds for The Macros...

"Hmph..." Kelvan was conflicted if what he was seeing was a good end or a bad one... but being a feast for flies didn't set well for him... well, except for the orcs.

He keeps his axe ready, watching out for the others while they check the tracks and the bodies for survivors.

All I ask is that you put in specific sections for class AND racial abilities. Most of the sheets out there seem to leave one or the other out....

Or only provide one tiny area for you to try to cram both into it.

Kelvan stows the pouch of coins in his beltpouch and takes the orc bow and arrows (unless anyone else speaks up about wanting them). He'll also retrieve his own bow and arrow.

"Aye, let's go." he says, following towards the noise.

<t>You have to click on that "Add Entry" button next to the each poll entry in order for it to show up when you post. I've made that mistake as well, forgetting to click that button on the last entry.<br/> <br/> In any case, I roll hit points for the monsters. I figure, if the PCs have to roll, so d...

Kelvan starts rolling the bodies, looking for any loot and any clues that might point to the orcs' tribe.

He glances towards the noise down the road. "Didn't we just leave that party?"

Edit: whoops.... clicked the wrong button, I guess.

I edited my last IC post with those rolls.

Cool. Thanks. Did you want a couple more, just in case?

<t>Having finished off his two opponents, Kelvan takes his bearings. He notes the globe of darkness and tunes his ears to where the shout comes from. Setting his hammer, he charges, making sure to pick his feet up as he passes through the darkness (so as to lessen the chance of tripping over somethi...

Happy Birthday!

I'm good with the descriptions you're providing. I do that when I run my pbp games. I have them state their basic action and give me rolls and then I compile the round together, giving descriptions of the combat.

Hey! Happy Birthday!
Mine was last month. I used my b-day money to get two copies of Neverwinter Nights 2 (one for me and one for my wife, so we can play together). Too bad our videocards won't run it. bleh. Oh well, Xmas is soon.

Hope the other presents were good!

If Kelvan can get a shortbow shot off at one of the orcs charging him before they get there, he will, then switch to his hammer. If he can't, he'll drop the bow and switch to his hammer.

<t>Kelvan follows the others as quickly as he can. He's ready with his shortbow, but also to toss it aside in favor of his warhammer when it becomes necessary.<br/> <br/> Initiative is 4.<br/> <br/> Attacks (+2 for shortbow (d6 damage), +6 for hammer (d8+4 damage))<br/> <br/> Roll 1: 11<br/> <br/> R...

Kelvan lets the halfling get about 20' ahead of him, then follows along. He does keep an arrow nocked, although only loosely.

<t>"It's easy to tell a tree from a troll... trolls give a yelp when you whack 'em!" Kelvan says in lame jest. Still, in reply he hangs his warhammer on his back and strings his shortbow.<br/> <br/> "Be off with yah, then." he says to Olladahn. He doesn't appear angry or offended... simply impatient...

Kelvan rubs a finger under his nose.

"Well, I ain't goin' back without crackin' some evildoer's head open... so let's be off!" he says to the others, and takes point, leading the way into the forest.

<t>Is this just an asthetics thing? I'm not sure I see the difference (although the table does bring out the nostalgia in me. heh).<br/> <br/> As for the formatting, unfortunately, the code of these forums ignores it when you insert a lot of spaces (in order to have the AC numbers line up in your ta...

Kelvan shoulders his warhammer again.

"We can only hope." he comments, glancing up at Rolin.

"This blasted fog'll get us trampled or worse, though." he grumbles, now turning his head about from time to time to watch down the path behind them.

Hey Shawn,

What do you think of giving dwarves an encumbrance rating bonus, as per my thread here?
