Troll Lord Games

<t>Hello all,<br/> <br/> It's been a long while since I've posted, but I need some advice from you stalwarts. I'm running a C&C game with a group of guys who are now all third level. They're all old hats at role playing and Dungeons and Dragons. In other words, they've run through nearly ALL of ...

<t>Anyone up for a game of Castles and Crusades in the Denver area? We've got a couple of guys but are looking for a few more...<br/> _________________<br/> `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves<br/> <br/> Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:<br/> <br/> All mimsy were the borogoves,<br/> <br/> And the mom...

<t>Hey Serleran, do you have any Add-Ons or plugins installed on FF? I've got quite an assortment on mine, and it has in the past produced some "issues". I'm a big FF fan though....<br/> <br/> Have you tried Flock yet? It's built upon the Mozilla codebase, so it's pretty solid. Depends upon what you...

The worse part is that no matter what happens the other players (who are frankly better friends with me, even before the game) will never like this person now. This hurts the chemistry really bad and it sucks. And that's exactly why we con...

<t>Hey angelius,<br/> <br/> Like everyone else here, I've had my experiences with cheaters as well. The last experience was only about 6 months ago. We had this guy with us for a few years who was also a chronic cheater. He not only constantly cheated on his rolls but went out on the net and searche...

<t>ASL was a fantastic example of "ring" bound...(or am I mixing that up?) It's been awhile since I've dug into my ASL stuff.<br/> <br/> I'm absolutely in favor of a spiral bound book though. I always leave my books open to the pages I'm currently using while playing, unless it's a standard bound bo...

Besides, any truly good ideas in 4E will be easily stolen by me and easily integrated into doing what I am doing right now. I don't need to buy or play 4E to do that. So I...

As a kid I used to hang out w/ a friend of my mom's who was a huge Napoleonic wargamer. I was young (5th grade or so...) and he h...

<t>Wow Daniel,<br/> <br/> Fantastic work... That's really quite nice. And to think...I was just looking for a rock mine for my C&C game.<br/> <br/> Kudos and thanks.<br/> _________________<br/> `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves<br/> <br/> Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:<br/> <br/> All mimsy w...

<t>Played 4e (Keep on the Shadowfell) this weekend... A friend of mine works for a game store and he was allowed to "check" it out. He ran us through it for a few nights.<br/> <br/> You've seen my first observations of 4e, which were just that, observations. This time though I got to sit down and ac...

<t>National Geographic and Scientific American magazines... Popular science is pretty key for any shadowrun / future games.<br/> <br/> I'll second Howard, and suggest Burroughs and Leiber, for swords and sorcery stuff.<br/> <br/> The David Macaulay books, City, Pyramid, Cathedral, etc. are still, to...

<t>As an aside, I can't tell you how much teaching my 9 yr old and 7 yr old to play C&C rekindled that RPG fire in me. After many years of playing, I had become jaded and nothing seemed new... But now, every time we sit down at the table for a couple hour session I'm reminded how much fun this h...

<t>Hey all,<br/> <br/> I was reading a thread over in the Castles and Crusades forum from Treebore about magic items, and Serleran mentioned something about a set of books that I haven't seen in many many years: The Encyclopedia Magica Volumes 1-4. Now here's the question, do any of you luminaries /...

<t>Modules are top of the list, but.... I'm a Wilderlands kinda guy, and anything that's setting generic enough to easily plop into the current "setting du jour" is super valuable to me.<br/> _________________<br/> `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves<br/> <br/> Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:<br/> ...

<t>Hey all,<br/> <br/> I don't have this specific adventure, and was wondering how well it might fit into the Wilderlands of High Adventure.<br/> <br/> Cheers<br/> _________________<br/> `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves<br/> <br/> Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:<br/> <br/> All mimsy were the bor...

<t>You know guys and gals,<br/> <br/> Everyone has said this in one way, shape, or form, but the simple fact of the matter is, different games appeal to different folks. Isn't that also the idea behind C&C? It's a framework on which to build YOUR game. Which is quite likely not the same as MY ga...

<t>Hey all,<br/> <br/> Regrettably I don't have scads of time with which to write my experiences on Saturday. First off though, I was unable to play on Saturday due to family commitments. BUT... I did get to observe for 3 hours or so.<br/> <br/> Rather than get knee-deep into the rules themselves I'...

<t>That totally threw me when I visited the site... I kept looking around for the application that was playing the music. I couldn't find it, and the first thing that went through my mind was "Eeeek! Trojan horse!" <br/> Once I figured it out though (It's not immediately "obvious"...), I certainly e...

<t>I know that I'm probably going to get chastised a bit for this but, I'm going to be playing in a 4e demo this weekend at our local game store (Enchanted Grounds...for any of you Coloradoans who might be interested.).<br/> <br/> I found C&C because of the announcement of 4e and therefore, have...

<t>Hey Realmsbard, I'm in Colorado as well, just out of curiosity, where are you located?<br/> <br/> Or would you rather I take this line of question to a different channel? <br/> If you like you could reach me at jeff dot faller at gmail dot com.<br/> <br/> Game on.<br/> _________________<br/> `Twa...

<t>I don't know why no one has said anything... but this really sounds like you guys had a hoot of a time. You ran a wonderful game and the story was fantastic.<br/> <br/> So since you're playing both, Savage Worlds and C&C, how would you compare them? <br/> <br/> Looking forward to your next in...

<t>Great feedback all! Thanks...<br/> <br/> OK so let me add to this then, what I intend is to use it as an adventure locale rather than the centerpiece in a campaign.<br/> <br/> My next set of games are going to be a lot lighter and less structured in terms of uber-plot. Something akin to the DnD o...
