Re: New Codices

Got my Codex Sinarum on Thursday. It's okay, not great. As a specialist in Chinese history and culture (though not religion), I don't want to be too critical, but I'll offer initial impressions. {Snip} Wonderful summation, thank you! It's shame there's some innacuracies in there, but I guess 95% of...

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know there's been support logs ongoing for a few days with the host providers about the forums continually going down. They have hopefully fixed this now, but if it happens again, please bear with us while we continue to talk to them about it.

Thanks.
Bifford.

Hey all. The Trolls looked into the issues causing the forums to go down. They think it is sorted, but thdy had to use a database backup to do so, so there may be a few missing posts. I'm Not sure how many.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

It's a question that comes up time and again, so I felt it important to stop it fading away, or multiple versions of the same question appearing.

Re: Explanation of C&C Class abilities for new players/GMs

I had missed that Turn Undead was a Wisdom check. Absolutely right.. not to be tried by others. I'm still not sure how moving "silently" is distinguished from moving "very quietly" from a game mechanics perspective. If a rogue and a fighter each try to get past a sleeping guard,...

Re: Characters using other class abilities

A little admin note, to say I've been watching this thread closely. It's been quite polite and respectful, so far, and I applaud you all for that.

However, I can see it getting near to tilting on a knife-edge, so please tread careful or I'll have to lock the thread down.

Thanks, all!

Re: Continual Flame

Keep it civil, all. Remember that text is a hard medium to use and it is easy to accidentally insinuate something you didn't mean to/read something that was not intended.
