<t>I cannot play just one game system, no matter how hard I try. Castles and Crusades is a great game for any type of old-school fantasy roleplaying...but Savage Worlds works so well for pulp, and of course for Deadlands Reloaded (it plays like lightning compared to the original Deadlands). Haven't ...

I think your review is already up on RPGnet. I didn't read it all but is this a rules-heavy game?

I would say it is "rules-medium". Not as rules light as C&C, far less rules heavy than 3rd edition D&D. It seems to promote a somewhat cinematic style.

<t>As a matter of fact, I have run some Ramlar just recently. I am also good online friends with Tony Lee, who I started chatting with while playtesting WWE Know Your Role. I will have a couple character write-ups in their Allies and Adversaries supplement. I wrote a review of Ramlar that should sho...

<t>..at least for now. My players want me to convert the game to 3.5, although they said of their own free will NO Prestige classes and core rules only.<br/> <br/> I'm kinda sad about this, but I gotta gamemaster or I'd go nuts, so change I am.<br/> <br/> But I WILL find a way to get back to C&C...

<r>I've been running a Castles & Crusades campaign since September at our gaming club does that count as a demo? It is located in this store:<br/> <URL url="http://www.hallofheroesllc.com/index2.htm">http://www.hallofheroesllc.com/index2.htm</URL><br/> <br/> seriously, I would love to run a demo...

Kyle, I am going to be running isle of Dread for my C&C campaign and if you still have those conversions around, they could save me a lot of work I'd be most grateful.

Allen

I was in the process of converting lupins but Dennis Moore came and stole them all.

what? Oh, sorry I'm a bit punchy tonight.

<t>Ok, guess I'll jump in here..my name is Allen Shock and I am a 45 year old gamer from Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. I began gaming in probably the spring of 1979. The first thing I ever did with an RPG was roll up a Traveller character About two weeks later I played D&D for the first time...at that...

I'd just like to say that bulettes are very nasty in C&C...and both halves of our group's cleric would agree with me, if he could.

Allen

<t>The problem apparently is that feel that C&C is not really "old school" but is merely 3.X in disguise.<br/> <br/> From my perspective, I don't think C&C ever claimed to actually BE an "old-school" game, it merely said it had some features of "old-school" gaming. Yes, there are things that...

Just a question: why the OSR*C? Is it somehow verboten to discuss this? Considering that any compatible products are usable with C&C as is any first edition stuff, it would seem to me it would not be a bad thing...

<t>My problems with 3.0/3.5 have almost all been with the players I have played it with, not the game itself, but having said that, I am enjoying C&C. I did have one minor rebellion when one player said he didn't feel the game was good because you need SKILLS (not feats) to know what your charac...

<t>The description of the Bag of Holding in Monsters & Treasure tells what the weight of the bag is and what weight it can hold but it expresses these things in pounds. It does not give EV values, which makes it rather hard to use these items with the given encumbrance system, since the one in C...

ok, thanks. It would be nice if someone (even if its just a fan-based opinion and not official) would post a detailed list of which abilities are worth XP and which ones are not, but I guess common sense works too...although according to my wife I don't have much of that..

So if one wanted to do away with giving experience for magic items, would tripling the monster rewards be a good idea then?

Allen

<t>When calculating bonus XP for a monster's special abilities, which ones are used? All of them? Do creatures get bonus XP for having Deepvision? The rules in M&T are slightly vague on this topic, and it would be good to know more about how this works for times when one needs to convert creatur...

<t>My group dislikes...no, hates...no, absolutely LOATHES the idea of experience for magic items going to the person who winds up with that item. They are pretty much insisting that I simply pool item experience and divide it evenly among the PCs. Does anyone else do this? How many of you don't even...

<t>The issue I am having with experience is the stuff for magic items. I have been comparing XP values from the 1st edition DMG to the ones in M&T. Here are two examples of what I have found:<br/> <br/> +2 (+3) Dwarven Thrower: XP value 1,500 in AD&D1, XP value 6,000 in M&T<br/> <br/> Ba...

what issues would need to be addressed in the use of the War Machine with C&C?

<t>I am interested in the opinions of the wise folks here on the subject of when to allow characters to attain the next level. During the adventure? between adventures?

What is a Mogrl and where do you find its stats?
