Re: New Kickstarter GG's World Building 10

I'm a "no" right now. I just don't think I'd use any of them. Maybe Canting Crew? Might rethink that one.

I had hoped to dig into the Marmoreal Tomb months ago, but still haven't gotten to it. Any thoughts so far?

Re: Character Manager Not Working

I would ask this question on the Trolls Discord channel. You're likely to get a quicker response there.

Thanks to @Ancalagon for running a great game Friday night. Great adventure, lots of fun. If you get a chance to play at his table, do it.

Re: Rosetta Stone?

Most of the adventure's I've DM'd have been old 1E modules. I have run some Advanced Adventure modules as well, which I think are written for OSE or OSRIC. Makes no difference to me, as much like Lurker I just flip the AC. I can run these on the fly, and have only run into "trouble" when t...

Re: Wands/Command words

Do you need a command word to operate a Wand? I know in AD&D you do, but the description in the M&T doesn't mention it. This came up in my game yesterday. The wielder was under the effect of a Silence spell but wanted to use a wand. Thoughts? I like using "Abracadaver" as the comm...

Re: Wands/Command words

Thanks guys. I had played it out where the wand worked even with the silence in effect. In retrospect I probably would rule the other way, but it played out well and a lot of suspense and fun were had.

It was Christmas Day, 1981 that I received the Moldvay magenta boxed set. Here, 43 years later I'm still getting RPG stuff for Christmas....
Awesome! I got mine around the same time too, but not for Christmas. Must have been a bit later.

Re: Time Tracking

Yea, depending on who the party is "working for", they've had to pay treasure taxes at times too. Since it's typically a 1 on 1 game, I sometimes lose track of time with everything else that's going on. I found a time tracker from Necrotic Gnome (free download) that might be exactly what I...

Time Tracking

How do you keep time in your game for stuff like combat rounds, torches/lanterns, and spell effects? I've seen some people keep track on paper, others use a die, and some others just kind of hand wave it.

Re: Best psionics system for C&C

I haven't used psionics since way back in my AD&D days. Not sure what kind of modern systems are out there. I don't believe C&C has an option, even in the CKG.
