Green spine C&C books, right?

The Kickstarter linked to back on the 23rd was only a preview - it wasn't open to backers yet - hence there were no backers for several days. NHG noticed the negative feedback this had produced and took it down.

It IS live now though, so check it out.

We did discount the PDF. Both at RPGnow and Drivethru RPG. Its 20.00. Check out these links and you'll see the relevant links: 12 Days Blog. 1st Day is the discounted CKG both Print and PDF. Thanks, Steve Yep, my mistake - I didn't think to look for one off bundles. I only looked at the main CKG li...

We generally don't discount major items until they have been out for a year. This allows them to make it through the retail market without too much complaint from retailers and from those who paid for the item when it first came out. The perfect bound pricing is a bit of an exception. That version ...

hmmm. to be more than the perfect bound is probably an oversight or mistake. This has been well documented/discussed in the past. The latest oversight/mistake is to exempt the CKG from the 'site wide' 50% off PDF sale. I'm just wondering why the CKG is exempt. I live in Australia and shipping out h...

All titles (but for the CKG) are 50% OFF their regular price. This sale will only for a few days-to a week so be sure to get yours today. This is the perfect chance to stock up on Castles & Crusades PDFs for all your favorite product lines!

The Trolls could make some more sales this way, or maybe they are worried that it will undermine sales of the full pdf...?

Are there any plans to sell sub-sections of the CKG as pdf products?

I'm interested in getting the 'crunchy' chapters, but am happy to skip the sections on world building and so on. Given, that the full pdf is $30, am I the only one who'd like to see sub-sections at, say $10?

Release due for August it seems:

Free updates to a pdf product is considered 'standard' by many purchasers of pdfs. "Free lifetime updates" won't be seen as an added feature by many buyers who expect this even if they only played $10 for the pdf.

We've actually found that we enjoyed playing Talisman without the expansions. They seem to bog the game down with needless complexity and our experience has been that the games take anything up to an extra hour to play if you use the expansions. Also a great house rule we've experimented with is to ...

Converted adventures would be ok, but I'd REALLY REALLY like a C&C setting book for Hellfrost. I bought the Hellfrost Player's Guide and really enjoyed the setting premise, but I sold the book because my group is averse to learning new systems - we pretty much only play D&D-like systems - an...

About the digest books, I'm curious, is the formatting different (with increased page count) to allow standard reading, or are the pages, and text, simply reduced in size keeping the same page count? From what I have heard it is the latter (same layout, just reduced to fit digest-sized pages). Yes,...

The new green theme is MUCH better than the default one! And very trollish.

I like landscape screens too.

Anyone play this? it looks like it would be fun, or is it a one trick pony with no replay value?

In my experience with the game it falls into the "one trick pony with no replay value" category.

Thinking out loud:

For creatures with a 'P' prime:

If size M then Prime saves are Str and Con

Nice podcast, Sieg. I enjoyed it.

There's also the "Reserve Points" optional rule from 3.5 Unearthed Arcana: Quote: RESERVE POINTS This variant gives each character a capacity to recover quickly from injury. This capacity, measured as reserve points, replenishes lost hit points quickly after a fight. Thus, characters may b...

See, the thing is you only put a little bit on your toast and it's all good. You don't spread it on thick like peanut butter or Jelly (known as 'Jam' to us Aussies, I think).

You certainly don't go eating finger-fulls of the stuff on its own!!

Any of you guys ever tried Vegemite?
It's a spread (for toast or bread) made from..... leftover brewer's yeast extract. Great stuff and the epitome of Australian-ness.

<t>Ha. How random - praise for Australia and Australians. Of course, I think I live in the best country on Earth, but I might be biased.<br/> <br/> I am an avid follower of "The Crusade", lurking and contributing occasionally to this forum.

That's nice and simple, but those become some hefty bonuses to the attackers when you get surrounded.

As should be the case, IMHO!

Traveller wrote: Quick And Dirty Spell Point System Characters have mana equal to their Intelligence score (if a Wizard or Illusionist) or Wisdom score (if a Cleric or Druid). So a Wizard with 16 INT would have 16 mana. A Cleric with 12 WIS would have 12 mana.Each spell costs mana equivalent to its...

The Birthright setting (written for AD&D 2e) is my favourite.
