Re: Anyone else feeling spammed by TLG?

What I did was unsubscribe from the feeds of completed Kickstarters. That helped a ton.

I love the Trolls, but when I see 3 e-mails from them about the same thing, it's time to take action.

Re: New C&C Logo and graphic vest. ANd many other questions!

Hi, all. Been a while.

I wanted to commend the Trolls on the new logo. When I saw it, I automatically thought of the Greyhawk logo, which I'm guessing was the intent.

Keep up the good work!

Re: Best psionics system for C&C

2. They seem to fit well in modern and scifi settings, but not so sure about fantasy. Then I ponder ERB's Barsoom setting, which clearly makes use of psionics and I can't quite decide if it's fantasy or not. Tough call. There are plenty of instances in fantasy literature of people with mind powers....

Just wanted to say that it was great seeing Stephen Chenault again and meeting Breakdaddy in person. :)

Re: Any C&C podcasts?

what's a podcast? Lose 50 XP. (Kidding!) Seriously, a podcast is a radio show that is downloadable to your computer and able to be put on a mobile device, such as an iPod (hence the name). People can make them in their own homes for a minimal cost. My advice would be to start with a really good one...

TLG used to have a series of testimonials on their site for C&C. I was one of the contributors. Yet I can't seem to find them now. Anyone know where a guy could find them at?

Any C&C podcasts?

Hey, all. Just de-lurking a bit tonight.

Saw something about a C&C actual play podcast, which got me to thinking. Are there any C&C podcasts out there that aren't actual play?

Thanks in advance.
