Re: Class Ability Check Question

So there are some good points being made by others in this discussion. If I think about it, another option is to take the newer school approach (Advantage/Disadvantage): When using a class ability, the character rolls 2d20 and uses the higher of the two rolls. Another option would be the equipment-b...

Re: Class Ability Check Question

I always adjudicated class abilities checks as being made as if tied to a prime attribute even when not. All other checks for that attribute would be made as usual but class abilities are always treated as tied to primes.

Re: How do you start new players?

They dont even necessarily know at first what is going on. Ive seen this method used more since The Lazy Dun...

This is a great team for collaboration. The Frog God guys are great and more C&C is always welcome. Is Casey Christofferson still over there? That guy runs a heck of a fun game and is a generally all round good dude.

Glad we can help alleviate the boredom! That's what we're here for. First, forgive me ignorance, but should we assume by "ICRPG", you mean "Index Card RPG"? Just wanted to clarify in my addled brain. And I've honestly never played a ICRPG. The closest thing has been the old Saga...

Bored and thinking about streamlining my game

Was sitting here a bit bored and was thinking about what I would do to optimize C&C to better fit my gameplay style. I really like the way that ICRPG streamlines and handles skill and ability checks. It occurred to me that I could integrate that system into the SIEGE engine system and come up wi...

I agree that C&C is what "AD&D 3" should have been instead of the 3E that we got. I have a hard time with go-to games because often it comes down to my mood. OD&D has been my go-to game for decades because it's so easy to tweak and house-rule. While C&C is certainly in my ...

Re: Jim Ward is in the hospital again...

Jim ran a game for about 10 fortunate souls (of which I was one) at Troll Con a few years back. Even though my Ranger died at the hands of a bumbling cohort, the game was top notch and truly fun. If any of you cats ever get a chance to roll a character at Jim's game table, do not squander the chance.
