From the Encyclopedia of Arda Orcs: Little is known for certain of the beginnings of the Orcs, the footsoldiers of the Enemy. It is said that they were in origin corrupted Elves captured by Melkor before the beginning of the First Age. In appearance, Orcs were squat, swarthy creatures. Most...

Playtester View My group and me, we playtested BCCS and TW. It is indeed as Patrick pointed out: You have to play a different style in comparison to Core D&D. As we first started with BC my players did the normal D&D thing: Sword out and whack the enemy. That was really deadly. Not only for the...

Thank you all for this threat! I thought this was just my problem, forgetting important spells/items/abilities of Monsters/NPCs and let my players kill my little ones easy. Happened with a Ghost Dragon. Completely forgot Withering Gaze and frightful presence. Same was with me as Player and...

Knowing most of Montes products I don´t think that this will be the straight run-of-the-mill campaign setting. The campaign and the city are both solid stuff (if you like high end high fantasy), but Monte won´t announce this as "something never done before". So I think we can expect a lot more...

Hmm, lets see. Monte wants to give the DM and the Players the power to make their own choices from a great variety of sources. The Classes of Arcana Evolved are one such Example. And the product zeroes on the heart of the 3rd edition and the core rules. Can it be, that he wrote a book about...

And I was worried, that there were other than CR100 meatgrinder Traps :) In the olden Days, me young and Player, I lost a couple of PCs to the darn Troll. Today I have made my peace with Grimmy and will use his Stuff against my Players. One of which is my old DM. Now I can give him fond...

Do they leave monsters (pf Legacy) behind nowadys? Poor lonely Shuluth (of Legacy)!

Tharen the Damned of Legacy? Tharen, the Damned Legacy? Tharen, Legacy of the Damned? Hmm, Damned of Legacy: Tharen. Does not work for me, won´t buy the book. Stupid legacy stuff... Apart from that, I really hoped for a Weapons (of Legacy) only book. But it seems we get the usual Stuff: Weapons...

I just read the thread. Also I own the Book in German, I never came around to read all of it and never played it. Here is the offical site of the German company who produces Engel, maybe you can get something out of it: Feder & Schwert

and The changes in the Magic System are simple and elegant. There are no Spell Slots any more. A Spellcaster theoretically could cast Spells all day. But of course there is a limiting Drawback. Also casting generally takes longer than one standard action. And there is no such thing as a...

I do not know how the True D20 works, but I think most Gamers know D20 pretty well. So GR used this instead of the True D20. The main idea behind Thieves World (and all other adapted products by Green Ronin) is to fit the rules to the setting and not vice versa. This means they changed the...

Well, I really looking forward to the four upcoming Thieves World Campaign Books by Green Ronin -Thieves World Players Guide (the main Campaign Book), Murder at the Vulgar Unicorn (adventure), Shadowspans Guide to Sanctuary (history & NPCs galore) and Thieves World Gazetteer (more of the...

The price you pay for this artifact is a steep one. Attack and Save penalties. HP and Skill point penalties. This is kind of forced. You carry the weapon, you level up. "Bing". Attack penalty, Skill point penalty etc. A different approach was done by Monte Cook and his take on intelligent...

Ooops, yeah, I can imagine this. But it would take far more "american rubbers" to kill someone than "british rubbers". Have to consult the translator more often ;-)

I happen to know a Pawnbroker. Mr. D. Vell he loans Cash without you having to pay it back! All you have to do is sign some contract (written on starnge vellum with red ink). There are a lot of footnotes, but Mr. Vell said that those are just the standard conditions and that one should not worry...

To finish my little tale: My collegues, meaning my fellow adventurers and me buffed ourselves up. Four of us got into flanking position and started stabbing away with ballpens and rulers. Another stalward fellow showered him with rubbers to break his concentration. The first two rounds saw two...

I just tried to sneak attack my boss with a ball pen. He had no visible armor, a low Dex (íf you see him you know) and if he has a class it is Expert with maxed out ranks in knowledge(accounting). My move silently and hide checks were good enough and I definetely hit him (My BAB +0, Str. +0, MW...

If you think about it, Heydricus is something like a modern male little red riding hood! It is all about the big bad wolf that gets his ass kicked for good. With Crim playing the Grandma.... Instead of Grimm Tales we have Grim Tales. Thats all, perfectly suitable and educating for the young...

Thank you very much (contact)!

(contact) is there still a link to the TRF or PDF files of Return and Liberation?
