<t>I'd allow it, depending on why they wanted to. If it's for the abilities, forget it. If it's for RP, okay. I'd just have them use the regular old elf in the PHB and call themselves a drow. Let them be from underground and have jet skin + violet eyes, etc. but no special abilities (maybe the darkv...

<t>FWIW, gold is currently at an atypical high in the market. Also, silver has lost value over the last few years due to advances in digital photography.

If you're interested, I wrote a short single player 1st level module a while back for Basic D&D. It should be easily converted to C&C. It's got a couple chances for combat, but isn't a "crawl." The maps are kinda crude. One day I'll upgrade them. BH1: Greenlee

<t>O gawds, everything from the news to comic books <br/> Lately, the gaming material I've been mining has been reading my way through all the Mystara GAZs (I'm on GAZ11: Darokin now).

<t>I think you're on the right track. The PCs won't necessarily become that much more powerful as individual combatants, but become more powerful within the setting. Whether that's being a guild maser or landowner or warlord, etc.; or whether the PCs go off plane-hopping and encounter new and differ...

Isn't Dark Heresy already out-of-print?

Fantasy Flight Games bought the rights to the WFRP & DH stuff (as well as Talisman, iirc), so the games are resurrected in that sense. I have no idea if they (FFG) have released a 2nd printing of DH as yet. Their website may say.

Thanks, serleran. I'll run it that way. I just want to have answer for when/if the PCs go in that room!

I noticed under the listing for Phase Spiders, when they shift to the ethereal that whatever would "normally" affect the ethereal plane affects them in that state. What sorts of spells, items, effects would those be?

bighara,

You are officially my 2nd favorite person this week. (First place goes to the Vet who saved my wife's cat from a near-fatal infection.)

Thanks for the info!

who can ask for anything more?

<t>Sounds like good times. <br/> <br/> I just picked up a copy of G1-3 Against the Giants from a FLGS used shelf.

C&C in the GDK, that's how I roll! Seriously though, you don't need to change much. Rangers I'd use as is. If it helps, here's a player doc I worked up for playing Knights in Karameikos. IMC, GDK Knight PCs must be humans of Thyatian descent. Quote: A knight of Karameikos can be either a Knight ...

Nothing weird for me; just dwarves, elves, hobbits, and humans.

Same for me. I run in Karameikos, so I prefer to avoid half-elf and half-orc as PC options (just to be in keeping with the old B/X feel). Gnomes are there (Highforge) but I prefer them as an NPC race too.

Troll Con = July, huh? So maybe a GenCon release?


PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?!?
Maybe one of my friends who sometimes goes to Indy can snag me a copy.

...and a pony!

<t>Without getting into a system by system comparison, I think the BtH progression in C&C is designed to encourage stronger archetypes. C&C clerics may not be as strong in combat as fighters, but they have other areas in which to shine. The fighter is about fighting, so let him be the best a...

I can't help but sympathize. I still have a crush on Morgan Ironwolf from by basic set.

Ah yes. Morgan or Aleena, the eternal conundrum.

Yup 1978 for me too (Holmes BD&D). The AD&D PHB came out just a few months later, iirc.
