<t>One thing that really caught my eye about C&C was the sub-$20 price point. And it was easier to get others to buy into C&C to check it out at that price point. That said, the M&T is mainly a CK's book. I think it might hurt more for the PHB to be $25 because that should be the bulk of...

It rocked! Way better than I expected! I actually felt good after watching it thinking, "It's been a long time since I've seen a classically entertaining sci-fi action movie."

<t>On multi-classing, I've never been a total fan of it, but accepted it as a way for a character to gain abilities of multiple classes which I liked. So I'm looking forward to seeing if there are rules in the upcomming CKG to just add abilities to classes to get what you want instead of the bulky m...

Wow, Kiefer Sutherland as the voice of Raistlin and Lucy Lawless as the voice of Goldmoon...interesting.

In best Cartman voice. "Sweeet!"

Well, now that I look over the products again, they are very much older products. I guess price cutting old stock isn't that bad of a sign. Especially if the newer stuff if still being ordered and carried.

That's a bitter-sweet post to read. Sweet because you got an awesome deal! Bitter because it means the store no longer wants to carry the products.

<t>Personally, I assume every melee attack includes many called shots. Because the object of the fight is to kill the other opponent, OFCOURSE, the attacks are going to be focused on the kill zones. I figure a critical hit represents success in hitting those kill zones.<br/> <br/> Just and FYI, I do...

I would add in here that if the off-hand weapon is light, the penalties reduce to -4/-2.

If both weapons are light, the penalties are -3/-1.

I likey! Consider this house rule STOLEN!

Cool to hear!

I didn't realize you live in Davis. I live in Vacaville. Got any C&C games going on in Davis that needs another player?

And the spell resistance is essentially magic resistance. I would have preferred it called magic resistance instead. ...

<t>I haven't been able to check these forums in a while and so while perusing them I noticed something interesting. Questions are being asked about C&C rules which are old skool D&D.<br/> <br/> Examples:<br/> <br/> - Ogres do 1d10 damage with a slam attack or damage as a weapon.<br/> <br/> -...

<t>I've always looked for the message boards at my FLGS's where ever I moved to to find players. My current FLGS has such an active network of gamers that I often find myself with too many wanting to game! At one time I was running 3 games/week! <br/> <br/> If you don't have a game store that suppor...

Interesting news. I like Paizo because they brought value back to published adventures in the 3.x market in my area. I'd LOVE to see them support C&C!

Here's a new documentary on the subject of global warming.

It's called The Great Global Warming Swindle.

They will auto-ship (if I can use that word at this point) on Monday next and start arriving in stores by week's end...we hope.

Well, better late than never! Alliance already has them set aside for my FLGS including one for me, so I'm set.

These are items which have a history and have become "magical" due to it's possessor going through something heroic or dramatic (usually dieing in the process) and the item becomes infused with some enchantment from those occurances.

I personally like that was well.

Certainly a 24 page module isnt as intensive as trying to put together such monolithic detail as City State et al.

And especially simply taking some of their popular d20 work and converting it to C&C. Simple, done, make some money.

That is really cool!

I looked at the document and it was very surreal. So familiar, yet so out of context. It's cool to see that old school is still being used. 8)

<t>I don't know about you guys, but I've never needed maps for small villages and thorps. Usually there are only a few, if any, buildings of importance. Is it really necessary? I find pulling out maps slow down the role-playing and only want to do it when truly necessary.<br/> <br/> Now, if the adve...

It wasn't that long ago that "global cooling" was a consensus.

Yep. There was actually a global period of cooling from the 1940's to the 1970's and then it stopped and started on a path of warming. Sounds like a cycle to me.
