A rewards program would be good, but not necesary for me. I do it cause I love it. I run my own local web site dedicated to getting people together to role play, but I understand that not everyone is like me so a rewards program would be great I'm sure. However, Instead of giving stuff out for free,...

Taking C&C to the masses

<t>So I ran another game of C&C / Eberron at my favorite Local Gaming Store, and once again it was a hit! It looks like this is going to be a monthly thing from now on as the demand is high and I can't even fill the need! <br/> This past weekend, they fought a purple worm, serpents, a T-rex coup...

<r>I use Eberron and absolutely love it! The Artificer was one class I initially didn't like until I read the most recent Eberron novel with a prominent dwarven artificer character. After reading the book, I sat down and looked at the artificer in depth, and then tried to re-create it for C&C. I...

Creating a Homunculus & what about Famililars

<t>Hey!<br/> <br/> I'm currently creating my version of the Artificer class from Eberron, so that it works with C&C. One of the things an Aritifcer can do, is at 4th level he can create a Homunculus. I read the M&T entry but I don't know if any C&C books detail this process in any way.<b...
