Re: Returning to C&C
Damn. I was searching for a really good excuse to buy the books with the new covers...
Seriously though, I’m glad to hear the game is as I remember it.

Returning to C&C
Hi I use to play alot of C&C, but for the past 8 years (jeez!) I’ve been playing D&D, Shadow of the Demon Lord and Call of Cthulhu. All are great games, but I’m getting ready to return to some good old-school RPGing What’s changed about the game since I left? I been thinking about getting th...

Re: What Video Game(s) are you playing
I'm anxiously awaiting my print copies of the new Call of Cthulhu at the moment
To make the wait feel shorter I found an old game on STEAM called CoC: Dark Corners of the Earth, that I've never played before.
A good and quite spooky game! Not suprisingly the graphics look quite outdated.

Re: What I learned from DCC RPG
I've had an experience with DCC that's quite similar to what Buttmonkey describes, though I would also like to add that even though all the crit-tables and spell-tables in DCC might be a lot, fun they also tend to slow down the game. I'm really looking forward to seing what kind of beast DCC Lankhma...

Re: Shadow of the Demon Lord
My favorite d20 games are C&C and D&D 5th. I like them because they somehow "make sense" to me - I find rules easy to remember and use on the fly. I hope SotDL is like this? I also like dark and gritty settings and Schwalbs previous work. I'll give this game a shot, and cross my fi...

Re: Shadow of the Demon Lord
I had the opportunity to play with the writer at gary con last year. It's a great game and I got in on the kickstarter for it. The mechanics are very simple and its easy enough to run with little preparation. It can be as dark of a world as you make it and there are mechanics for it to be run in fa...

Shadow of the Demon Lord
Does anybody on this forum have any first-hand experience with this game. It gets great reviews from most people, but I know that some people just read the books and believes that a game that reads well also plays well - which, unfortunaltely, is not always the case (I'm looking at YOU Dungeon Crawl...

Re: How'd you get into Castles & Crusades?
In 2003 I was growing tired with D&D 3.5. I searched the internet for alternatives, found TLG and signed up for playtesting C&C. I loved it (I still do BTW) and bought the White box, when it was released. I played countless sessions until 2006, when my son (and my daughter 2 years later) was...

Re: Please post the titles o' your favorite C&C adventures.
A big +1 to Shadows of the Halfling Hall from me.
I remember The town of New Brayer (Briar?) served my old group as a base of operations for many adventures. Many of the NPCs from that adventure had major roles in some my own spin-off adventures.

Re: D&D 5th Edition Discussion
There's an optional level-up system in the DMG that I use: First session takes you to level 2 and second session takes you to level 3. From this point it takes two sessions to go up one level. That's 36 sessions to level 20 if my math-fu is correct (which is very unlikely). It works fine in my grou...

I can see that. Some people like having a lot more specific rules to fall back on. Like 3.x games. That just was never the intention of the creator of D&D. Funny. IIRC 1e had a rule (and a table) for damn near everything. The only difference being, that 1e rules were alot harder to remember, du...
