Troll Lord Games

Awesome to hear. Let's hope that it is just the beginning of an upward trend toward normalcy.

Well, there's always room for improvement, right?

Ten foot pole first. You never know.

"Rolling your own" can be very rewarding, and instructive. Grounding yourself isn't the biggest issue in my experience. It's cutting your hands on that #$%! stamped sheet metal in those narrow spaces. Best of luck!

I just thought I should perhaps say why I find the other-people-do-worse argument/excuse a poor one, so as to clear up any misconception that I feel perfection is a must. If all we ever do is look to other products (or people, co-workers, siblings, etc.) and say, "Well, at least I'm better than...

No, the point is that every single print product, from novels, to text books, to RPG products will always have errors in them, from small to occasionally big. To expect any book, let alone an RPG book, to be error free is simply unrealistic. Like I said above, if I demanded perfection from RPG's, I...

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, and I submit this respectfully as a huge fanboy, but those other products' poor editing does not excuse TLG's. I don't care about those other games. I don't play those other games. Wanting the best product possible for the system I do buy and support has not...

If you are happier without her, it's definitely the right thing to do. As to the kids, my Uncle waited until my closest cousin was 18 before divorcing my Aunt. My cousin said he wished they hadn't stayed together "for the kids" because it was such a miserable environment. You deserve to be...

I would actually prefer a product to be late if it will mean better editing and art. But that's just me. ;) Mike Being late with TLG on a kickstarter, does in no way improve the product or produce better editing or art. You need only open any of the 3 sisters or Aihrde to know this. TLG and editing...

Ok let me back up and put it this way; I think that if you are going to run multiple KS's overlapping and back to back, that you would be considered a bit more credible and honest if you deliver the completed ones within time frame you originally set. Running 2 years out is not acceptable if you st...

Well, that brings up another frustration I have. I have gone all in on KS's. They cost $50-$100. Then the print run happens and the books sell for $39.99 but then 1 month later I see them on sale for $29.99 or even $19.99. I feel kind of taken advantage of at that point. I feel your pain. What I ha...

I had checked the store before. They are only on there as digital, which is why I asked about plans for reprinting them.

I can't recall if all of these were house rules or they are in the PHB. Here are all of mine: 1. A roll of natural 1 on any attack or siege check automatically fails. 18. Attributes are determined by the players (Thank you, Treebore, for making me see the light). 20. A roll of natural 20 on any atta...

There's pros and cons. I never worry about a TLG kickstarter as far as will it be delivered. However, a big question is always when it will be delivered. Kickstarter is a fantastic way for the Trolls to put out product without big financial risk. I do wish more projects were a bit farther along in t...

Drop down a around 5 categories to "Oh, the memories" and have fun,

Great news, Treebore. Fingers crossed for some good conclusive results from the CT. If you feel like you need more explanation, ask the nurse. They spend m ore time with you anyway. I am a little biased in that regard though.

Thanks, Rigon. And my wallet and wife may curse you for the NobleKnight link.

Some of us came to the TLG party a lot later than others. I have about 6 issues of the Crusader in print. I am not a big fan of digital, so getting the rest of the back issues I need is sort of... well, I've not lost hope entirely. Are there any plans to reprint the earlier issues? I'd surely love t...

I'm set. I don't want to get bogged down in minutiae, one of the best reasons for using C&C! And if it's not in the rules and I was combining rules from other games and systems in my mind, I am happy to not worry about it. My players get all the near death they need from the normal encounters.

Player's Guide to Aihrde
After that it'll be the S-series, and Rune Lore

Aihrde. I enjoyed the A-series. I further enjoyed the Codex of Aihrde. My group is on A11 and after A12 we're putting the current game on pause and running a new group of characters through a homebrew series of adventures still set in Aihrde. It will run "concurrently" with the old game, a...

Thanks for the replies, all. You got my brain back on the right track.

Wow. Really glad this thread was resurrected. Treebore, you're a genius. Thank you for opening my eyes. I'm about to start a new campaign and allowing the players to choose is a great idea. I know most will roll, because they like some randomness, but I can see them upping some a bit here and there ...

Maybe I am carrying it over from previous games. I know the Wilderness Survival Guide (I know, I know) had some rules. The older I get the more everything starts blurring together. Thanks!

I found the bit about rest in the PHB on page 134 regarding healing a point per day, but for the life of me, I cannot find the section about trying to sleep in armor. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

I did get mine yesterday. I'm pretty excited. I know the elf-class will see some time at my table for my players who like wizards without all the bookkeeping and those that enjoyed the Elf in B/X/C/M/I.

I checked the Kickstarter and I was in there for the Player's Guide hardcover. I ordered the pre-order of the Codex from the trolls themselves. So, I think I'll be getting a Player's Guide too. Awesome.

According to FACEBOOK just now, The Player's Guide to Aihdre will be at GENCON. The Trolls confirmed that the books are now shipping to backers! https://www.facebook.com/castlesandcrusades/?fref=ts I guess this means that they will be on sale to the general public very soon. ~O Great news. I think ...

Wait a second here. What kinds of fountain pens? If you happen to not know, the Rhodia Webnotebook in A5 would be a great substitute for this. Maybe they'll make a C&C sticker we could buy and stick on them?
