Troll Lord Games

Half orc is my wife’s race of choice. Best looking half orc I’ve ever met :mrgreen: my group back in the day never played humans, I always did because no one else ever played them and I wanted some aspect of our game grounded in reality so I made the “sacrifice” and played my favorite class/race hum...

The decipher rpg for LOTR did this. They used agility (dex) for accuracy then str to modify damage. I wasn’t a fan. 3e also did this with their weapon finesse feat. Again, I wasn’t a fan. That being said, using dex to resolve attacks isnt going to make a huge difference. Depending on which stat bonu...

I'm working on what i call siege light. I use modern attribute bonuses (12+1, 14+2, etc), but only allow the pc to add 1/2 their level to rolls. I've also removed bth values and replaced it with the siege light roll.

Dont over think it. CnC is meant to be simple to engage in role playing not roll playing. I default to add the level in most cases. Just follow the rule of cool and move on.

Has anyone allowed their barbarian PCs to add their CON to the AC? Has it disrupted the game balance? I know it can be done in DnD. I was thinking of allowing a barbarian to do so if they elect to wear no armor, so their CON bonus would be used in addition to their DEX bonus when modifying their AC.

I do 1 of 2 things. RAW or limit encumberance to the PCs STR score then tell the players they can only carry a number of items equal to their STR score. Keep it simple. Resource management shouldn't slow down a game. If you want that, go play settlers of catan.

For another prespective, I allow intimidate to continue as long as the barbarian swings at the intimidated target (regardless if they hit or miss). Large bad guys aside a barbarian with a bearded axe does a lot of damage (especially with a high str) so foes tend to die quickly and I try to encourage...

I can't believe I missed this

The Elven Princess by Dark Sword Minis. I love these models. They always humble me. I always feel like I have failed to do them justice.

Time for piazo to capitalize on the 5e ogl? Good luck to them!

Question, what is the probability that we will see a small digest sized manual for cnc? Maybe the old flip manual reprinted as a pocket edition? Even though I have 4 copies of cnc in some form or other, I would buy a pocket edition, especially if it was a flip book of the phb and m&t!

A mending Priestess, fresh from the battlefields of the Land.

Here are 2 mage knight repaints. A temple blade master and a crystal bladesman. I cut my wargaming teeth on Mage Knight so the minis have a special place in my heart . I really like them. There is something about them. I have a small collection of them so I'll be pushing more out.

I can start doing that. No problem! 90% of them are from Reaper minis, games workshop or dark sword miniatures.

My new group has a few sessions under their belt now and I must say (and I've said it a hundred times). I absolutely love the SIEGE engine. CnC is by far my favorite D20 iteration. It strikes such a great balance between mechanics and narrative. If you've been trolling around and can't decide if you...

The Firecaller. An orc-ish wizard!

Great job!

You never know when you will need a barkeep and his server/maids!

Here we have my latest 2 minis, a villager carrying a child, and a grizzled veteran.

In a world of adventurers, some folks are needed for saving. Know your role!

Of course I paint on commission! I also do requests as sometimes I don't know what to paint next. If you are looking for something specific PM me and we can set something up. Additionally, what kind of zombies are you looking for? I have zombies from the first run of Reaper bones. But, I am in an in...

Either one really. What do you need for your campaign is the real question. Here are two more. A head strong teenaged archer and her dwarf companion.

Try the rune marked class for a dragonborn.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated!

I want to run a one shot with my group featuring a local village being terrorized by a dragon. The heroes go out to investigate and learn that the dragon is actually a giant lizard and not a dragon at all. That being said, I looked thru M&T and Classic M&T and couldn't find any stats for a giant liz...

I was reading thru arms and armor and I noticed a lot of the armor and weapons listed in AnA are different (stat wise) than what is listed in CnC PHB. Why is that? For example, the broad sword is listed as 2d4 in cnc, but 2d4+1 in AnA.

I sat down for the first time in a long time, and to boot it was with brand new role players! Oh yes, 2 new initiates for the crusade! We rolled up 3 new characters and played a quick rescue the princess scenario. The party was made up of an elf wizard with an average state array, a half-orc barbari...

A villager for the ages!

Mel hit the nail on the head. CnC captures that old school gaming feel. When I bust out CnC I feel like I'm playing in Ralph Bakshi's animated Lord of the Rings. I feel like Madmartigan from Willow. It has such a nostalgic feel and pays homage to our roots but in a contemporary math kind of way. I d...
