<t>Favorite two authors of all time:<br/> <br/> Harlan Ellison<br/> <br/> Joyce Carol Oates<br/> <br/> I collect HP Lovecraft, in particular the Arkham House editions of his works, so he's in my top 5.<br/> <br/> My favorite science fiction novels as an adult:<br/> Hyperion & The Fall of Hyperio...

<t>I'm new here, so please forgive an ignorant question: Does this mean (per the thread's title) you took a creature from another source and converted it to C&C?<br/> <br/> If so, where did the creature originally appear?<br/> <br/> As I begin delving into C&C, one of the things I look forwa...

A forthcoming 9x12 sized C&C Basic boxed set will fill that void.

Something akin to the Holmes and/or Mentzer sets?

meepo wrote: Congratulations on the purchase! The boxed set is my preferred version of the game. Interesting to hear. I liked the box set, and I could certainly see how it'd be enjoyable to run. Heck, I used the OD&D boxed set back in the day until all the AD&D books were released, so I can...

gideon_thorne wrote: The CKG isn't really a necessary core book for the C&C system. Hence TLG not being in a real big hurry to put it out. ^_^ That's cool. It was just something that caught my eye. Another question concerns the editions of the PHB and M&T. The PHB is in its 3rd print (great...

<t>I also noticed a Castle Keeper's Guide will soon be available. <br/> <br/> It obviously contains contains supplementary and optional material, but it also gives me pause when I consider that one of the problems with D&D (any edition) has been a proliferation of unnecessary rule books. I'd hat...

<t>I'm glad to hear there are "new schoolers" active in C&C. I'd been curious about that (the demographics, I guess I should say).<br/> <br/> The other reason for my interest is Castle Zagyg. <br/> <br/> I've waited 30 years to see this dungeon, so I can't wait to finally get the chance.<br/> <b...

<t>Thank you all for your willingness to help.<br/> <br/> When I first received the Collector's Edition in the mail, I was surprised (and maybe a little disappointed) that there were not more choices for character classes and there were so few monsters (I love monsters).<br/> <br/> What I did like (...

<t>All,<br/> <br/> I'm a new member to this forum, deciding to join after purchasing the Collector's Edition of C&C prior to going on vacation about 3 weeks ago. <br/> <br/> From what I read in the collector's set, the game system appears to be quite appealing, and I'm looking forward to the arr...
