Re: HH in GH!

Re: Sticky: C&C cancelled due to WOTC lawsuit.
I was tricked. I guess it is bad on me that I do not put such ass hatery off the table as it concerns WotC. I wish WotC WOULD do something this stupid. It would put C&C's name out there ever more and would make for a great counter-suit and income for the Trolls. Any judge with more than one bra...

Re: Sticky: C&C cancelled due to WOTC lawsuit.
my first experience with C&C was around 2009 or so You created your account here in June of 2008, so you must be off by a bit. Perhaps, he signed up here to talk about TLG's d20 Lion in the Ropes or Mortality of Green and not C&C! :D Nah, I plead crappy memory and throw myself on the mercy ...

Re: Black Box classes in action?
Looking at them, I assumed that they were mostly intended to be NPC classes, for CKs to create memorable henchmen, since they all seem to be somewhat overclocked versions of the core classes.

Re: Do you fudge die rolls? Creature Stats? On the fly?
Fudge only when necessary to make game better. Better is good. Fire is bad. ~O "...Richard Baseheart is good." I steadfastly refuse to fudge in a way that harms the players. But if I really don't want them to die for some reason (what can I say? I'm an old softie... :D ) I'll fudge a natu...

Re: Quick suggestion for the M&T
I'll have to check my copy when I get home -- I don't remember tables like that being there, though there is an extremely cool and useful (though not for the purposes I was looking for
) "ecologies" section for most of the M&T monsters.

Quick suggestion for the M&T
Now that everything's gonna be printed in color, if it's not too late, could I make a suggestion for the next printing of the M&T? Encounter tables by environment might be nice -- breaking down the monsters into the different environments they most likely would be found in.
Just a thought.

Re: How can C&C possibly work?
I can only speak for myself and my group, but after repeated rules arguments playing 3e, we went to C&C and at this point, will never go back. It works near perfectly for us. In fact, I've been able to play 1e AD&D modules completely on the fly right at the table with no issues.

One thing to remember with most monsters is that while they may have low intelligence, they're not imbiciles.
