Troll Lord Games

The main character (Pine) is supposed to be a bard, which has a stereotyped cast as a jester/ragamuffin/hobo clown... and, with recent(ish) movies such as Thor: Love and Thunder, Guardians of the Galaxy (both of them), and Thor: Ragnarok being a mix of action, adventure, and comedy it seems natural ...

Holy water, protection from evil, and ranged weapons.

Regarding the undead spellcasters... don't group up tightly and use scouts, preferably the kind that can be sacrificed. Like... say, chickens.

Oh, and another type of creature which, to me, are quite fun - mephits.

They're basically demonic elementals.

Once had a half-orc ranger commission the creation of a minifig (think figurine of wondrous power) based on himself, made completely out of the horn of a slain troll lord. He could use it three days in a week for a maximum of 3 turns (total) but it came to life and functioned identically as he did b...

If you did use "race-classes", how/would it work along side normal race+class combos? So a race-class elf is a fighter/wizard.. what would distinguish the class from a fighter/wizard multiclass? Would you allow an elf-class character to then MC as a cleric or rogue? A bit of a loaded ques...

I'll cheat. Gary Gygax: he never said no but that didn't mean you had any chance of success without being extremely lucky. He did not coddle or cave to "lawyers" either - whatever he wanted, he did, and that could mean he was cheating.

It says a web version. If that is the case, it would seem that OS is practically meaningless. Although, it would depend on what they mean by "web version." Does it save a seed or something? Do you export as XML or other file format?

You've brought this up before... https://www.trolllord.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=17641&p=258411&hilit=dispel+magic#p258411 Apparently, dispel magic should use the primary attribute of its casting class so it is either errata or something that has not made it onto the backlog. Regard...

Oh, so that's where the Vikings' loot went...

After all these years, someone uncovered it. That's going to make one heck of a yard sale!

I don't know enough about it but perhaps that it uses a system generally similar to C&C but is lauded as "innovative" whereas C&C is derided for the same. There are some differences though and I can only assume the former gets its praise because 'saves' don't feel static...

Monster - goblin. If using extraneous material, the boggle or nilbog. The former because they can be reskinned in any way imaginable. I personally use them as technicians so they're more like "stereotype gnomes" from an ancient tech world. They fear magic. The other two because they are gr...

No, I am not asking anyone to write anything except a response, preferably with a link to some existing adventure of Choose-Your-Own style book that is similar to my request. For example, I know there are numerous solo adventures available for the Tunnels and Trolls RPG but I do not own them all, an...

I'd first remove the marriage between "all non-combat rolls" and the SIEGE Engine so things like "Hearing Noise" are not an attribute check nor use the Prime system which eliminates a good portion of the naysaying about the game. Instead, an "everyman" method would be u...

So... my wife's birthday is upcoming and we don't get a lot of time to play any games together with her now taking care of her dad during the week and working overtime (4-6 hours) virtually every day and I wanted to give her something that she could play, on her own, and still have that sort of &quo...

One of the more interesting takes, for me, is actually the original - the Oriental Adventures ninja version which forced the player to have a second class, only gaining XP for ninja when doing ninja things, the world generally recognizing them as whatever else they were, usually fighter (bushi) or t...

Rather than remove spellcasting per se, change the casting times to turns/hours, decreasing by use of specific types of items like amulets, scrolls, wands, etc. Any class capable of learning magic must first locate the spell somehow (lost grimoires are good) and then, once they know the spell, they ...

Just some recent purchases. d20 Conversion Manual , because for some reason I did not yet have it. Rage of the Rakasta because tiger people. Weird, I thought that was all I bought but discovered that it came along with The Knight of Newts and Sword and Shield as well. Good deal then. Heroes' Loreboo...

One of these days, someone will make a setting with assassin taking the religious role and being "priests of death." That would rule my cosmos if done right.

Old school.

"La Di Da Di" by Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh.

Kind of a shame rap is not made this way anymore, back before it took over.

Up after this is some Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Recently, some Van Halen and now, because it was just sampling whatever I happened to have as a MP3, a little UB40.

I did a little forum searching and came across this old one... which might be inspirational somewhat for an elf class.

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5495&hilit=dwarf+class [yeah, it says dwarf in the search but I found this one first.]

I'd be interested in knowing more about your Single Unified Core system, sir.. if/when you feel inspired. It definitely doesn't seem to SUC (sorry, couldn't resist!) I do not mean to derail your thread but I was able to locate an old one on this subject on these very forums. I haven't touched it in...

Funnily enough, the creation of the SIEGE Engine started as a 'single save' which was being touted, originally, as "Target 20" (not to be confused with Blue Rose RPG which actually used the name, not the design.) So, there is a bit of a precedent - the concept was dropped as being "to...

Rummaged through some old stuff that I've not listened to for a while and came across KMFDM's XTOЯT.

Great, you'll be around for more Zilla!

In the setting I was working on, which started as "Doldrums" and then became "The Windswept World," I have race-as-class with some variation like, for example, gnomes get different abilities based on the color of their cap which designates their clan/family lineage and dwarfs can...

Figured we needed another currently popular thread... since we have games, books, and video games why not? Anyway, I am listening to the final concert performance of Oingo Boingo which is their Farewell album, from Halloween 1995. I was not able to attend myself but my oldest brother (who got me ont...

The Vancian spell system was the nerf on the casters. To be fair, that is one of them. Once variable HD were introduced (Greyhawk supplement), another was added - the d4 HP / level. Before this, lack of ability to reliably improve AC (no armor, no shield) and (eventually) limited weapons (remember ...

The last time I was at a B&N store, I found an exclusive titled "Native American Myths and Legends." I had not opened it. I did today and going through it. There are some interesting stories one could base adventures around I think I just might.

Apparently my wife decided to be nice to me and had backed the KS for Judges Guild Volume 2 (proceeds of which do not go to JG but to charity, for those who might otherwise be offended) which is basically a compilation of Jaquay's works, all of which I had, but now in a huge coffee table book format...
