Re: Main Gauche supplement for Zweihänder, a read-through
Rgr, I should have easily picked up the inquisitor as the witch hunter . Heck, the artwork for the profession is the same as that when witch hunter is mentioned ... I guess I'm not that bright ... Godsworn ... It isn't as straight a line on that one. You have to have divine magic to qualify. Howeve...

Re: Main Gauche supplement for Zweihänder, a read-through
Okay, I think Witch Hunter is "Inquisitor", pg. 168, and I think the Paladins are the "Godsworn", pg. 159.

Re: Tunnels & Trolls 5th Edition compact paperbacks cheap
I've never tried T&T but remember seeing their stuff at the local hobby shop in the early '80s. How different is it from D&D or C&C? I'll try to explain, specifically using the 5th Edition. 6-8 Stats depending on edition. Stats are 3d6 rolled in order. Most editions are compatible with ...

Nice review, thanks. Are the conspiracy rules tied to the system, or are they useful for C&C as is? There are a few of things that tie it to Zweihander's system, though not inextricably by any means. They are: -The Investigator Profession's "True Detective" Trait confers additional be...

The next Chapter is the second-longest in the book, and probably the longest set of NPC creation rules I've seen in any game. Does that pique your interest? Because it damn sure does mine. That's a deal breaker for me. I'm very much a rules lite kind of guy these days. NPCs in C&C modules are t...
