I'd love a copy as well.

P.S.: did you see that WotC is re-releasing Dark Sun in 2010 as their new campaign world for 4e.

First C&C games

<t>After a break, our D&D group picked-up C&C hoping for a "less-crunchy" game than what has evolved recently.<br/> <br/> We are playing A1 with the Rising Knight intro.<br/> <br/> We have now finished our 2nd session, and have added some house-rules (which is easy to do in C&C) based on...

Question about teleport

<t>A question about Teleport, Dimension Door, etc.<br/> <br/> Most teleport-type spells allow you to bring along your posessions. Defining "posessions" has prompted many arguments in our game. Here are a few examples:<br/> <br/> Can a wizard teleport away if he was manicaled to a wall? If so, do the...

Re: Stat Blocks in Modules

<t>I have only read one module (A1) so far. The stat blocks are minimal, but usable. <br/> <br/> While I like a narritive approach (it is great when it states the monster's tactics), some "at your finger-tip" stats really save a CK time:<br/> <br/> HD, HP, AC, Saves, Attacks, Damage, Movement, Brief...

<t>What about a system where there are no downsides to multi/dual-classing? For example:<br/> <br/> - XP is divided between classes as desired.<br/> <br/> - Saving Throws: Your classes are added together to determine level. <br/> <br/> - Class abilities: only use the class level (overlapping abiliti...

<t>When dealing with a small group of players, multi/dual classing is almost essencial.<br/> <br/> Our group (YMMV) often lacks healing power. Most players would like to take a single level of cleric but they don't care to advance that class much beyond 1st level.<br/> <br/> From a CK point-of-view,...

Sorry to dig this post up a year later, but I was wondering how the BlackTooth Ridge + Caves of Chaos combo worked?

I was thinking of doing the same thing, so any suggestions/reports would be very helpful.
