6/8/2002 Mokkurkalfe: Missile Pool stuff
There is this one little thing I can´t understand. The book says that you can avoid missiles(arrows and stuff) with the Partial Evasion maneuver. But what about those cases where…

6/24/2002 Mokkurkalfe: About improving profencies....
It's those defaults that are messing up my head again. If I take sword-and-shield(SAS) 8, then I get mass-weapon-and-shield(MWAS) at 7. If I then improve MWAS by one I get…

6/26/2002 Mokkurkalfe: A tiny little SA problem...
I got a problem here. You see, one of my players doesn't seem to be very fond of the SAs. He really doesn't care about them and is more concerned…

7/31/2002 Mokkurkalfe: Two-on-one
There's something that bugs me about the rules regarding fighting two opponents. It's only the one who's alone that roll dice. That means that if there are two PC's against…

8/1/2002 Mokkurkalfe: Requests/suggestions for the Combat Simulator
Oy, Brian! I have now played a little with your excellent tRoS simulator, and have a few suggestions/requests/whatever. First, please include the optional rules of fatigue, hit location modifiers and…

8/5/2002 Mokkurkalfe: The tRoS Compendium
I'm wondering if anyone's interested in a tRoS "compendium", similar to what Blizzard(www.blizzard.com) has on their webpage to all their games. TRoS combat system alone is deep enough to warrant…

8/8/2002 Mokkurkalfe: Which one's best?
ST and TO(big brute) or AG and WIT(quick guy)? The main(combat) reason for AG is the Reflex, and thus WIT is equally important. But for an increase of one CP-die…

8/9/2002 Mokkurkalfe: Greed...But not really
This was on a thread some time ago, but there wasn't any satisfying answer. Personally, I imagine that many adventurers are similar to colonists; poor lads and lasses who go…

8/13/2002 Mokkurkalfe: Spiritual Attributes by the hundreds!

9/2/2002 Mokkurkalfe: Logistics
Could anybody come up with some good numbers on how much upkeep would cost in tRoS, including lodging, food, equipment maintenance and whatnot? And perhaps some end-of-the-week/month cost, like armor…

9/15/2002 Mokkurkalfe: The Riddle of Steel, SMG's and lasers
I'm planning to run an X-COMish (a computer game) game with tRoS rules. The lethal feel of tRoS should fit well here. For guns I'll just use the missile weapon…

9/26/2002 Mokkurkalfe: *realistic* armor penalties
Jake! (or anybody else qualified to answer) You've said a few times yourself that the armor penalties in tRoS are a bit to hefty. If I wanted more realistic penalties,…

10/7/2002 Mokkurkalfe: All dice on offence!
What should a gol grunt NPC do against a PC with more dice(CP 14) and a very good bastard sword(TN's 5) that uses all of his dice on one attack?…

10/14/2002 Mokkurkalfe: Seneschal exercise
The thread about offence got me thinking. Let's say you(as the seneschal) were a Gol Captain with some 20 Gols grunts under your command. One day, Evil Villain(TM) orders you…

The translation of my game and gameworld from my former system into TROS have gone pretty well. But now it's time for sorcery. The TROS system is cool, but if…

4/23/2003 Mokkurkalfe: Electronic money-changer
Personally, I like to fiddle with coins n' stuff in RPG's. Otherwise, you can't give the players the feeling that they're adventuring to get the next meal on the table.…

8/7/2003 Mokkurkalfe: Help me inspire my players!
Currently I'm running a campaign which has a pretty relaxed style. Many ingame jokes, and it would probably pass as an action comedy. However, the final session is approaching. Afterwards,…

Is leather armour flexible and "soft" in tRoS or more rigid? Also, does "hard armour" refer to hard as in metal or hard as in rigid?
