Uh...WOW!
I think I hate you now as I'm sure the release of this will be a ways off and I now CAN'T WAIT!
Seriously...that's uber cool news!

Anyhoo, the most important "greenhouse gas" is water vapor, not carbon dioxide.

Although, just today gideon_throne did drop hints that race as class would be present in this box set.

That's awesome! I wonder if they will be in the CKG as well.

I do not recall ever introducing myself properly here....

Hi, diggin' on the C&C lately. I am mostly a OD&D & 1E guy.

I like long walks on the beach by moonlight.. etc. (and lotsa bourbon.)

cheers.

Heh, welcome fellow old-skooler!

<t>That song gives me goosebumps! I've heard it ever since I can remember.<br/> <br/> Last year, I tried out with my local Special Forces unit. I came close, but didn't pass the initial evaluation and learned it's not for me in this period in my life. Out of 100 who did, 7 made it. Of them, for 4 it...

Sounds like a very fun night! Your players are great.

Hey Gelatinous Q, you're in my age group ( I just turned 37). Welcome to the Crusade!

I keep it hidden. Too much info to the players kind of hurts the suspense of the situation.

Sorry Treebore, I wasn't responding to you. Just to the poster as to how I believe it's handled with some of my own stuff thrown in.

Actually I was meaning pre-orders from TLG direct.

Ah! You're one of the lucky ones to get a first run sent to them, yet unfortunate because of postal delay. Sorry to hear it. Stamp costs must not be high enough for good mail service.

<t>As 1e AD&D, when a rogue makes their hide check, they are HIDDEN, period. Some will make it, some won't. For an ambush situation, I'd give the PC's a Wisdom check, modified by a terrain CL, to notice the rogues who fail their hide check. A failure for a rogue in that situation to me means the...

Um, yeah, me. The game distributors haven't gotten them in. But hopefully this week!

Troll Lord wrote: Why have the screens not become available yet? A variety of reasons. First the printer sent me an advance box so that I could have them for Dundracon. He overnighted these.

I have a question for the Trolls.

How is it that some people have gotten their screens and the major game distributors haven't even gotten them yet? I'm talking about ACD and Alliance.

pineappleleader wrote: IMHO -1 to initiative is hardly a penalty at all. If you throw "good" dice, you won't even notice the -1. I didn't do that to be a large penalty. Just an irritant. One where a tie roll will automatically be a loss for the one with the two-handed sword. I don't add D...

<t>All a bastard sword was, was a regular one-handed sword with a hilt designed to allow a second hand. The only thing I can think of for the reasoning is to deliver a more powerful blow. In game terms, the question is, how much more powerful?<br/> <br/> So, another way to look at it would be if a s...

And rolling more dice allows the fighter types to enjoy what the wizards do with their spells.

<t>That is cool! Thanks a bunch for sharing! <br/> I've been thinking of using armor as damage reduction and adding an "armor penetration" value to weapons as in the Conan RPG.<br/> <br/> I've also thought of the armor having a SIEGE save to prevent damage.<br/> <br/> I've also thought of attacks ba...

Oh yes, for anyone who wants a large list of AD&D style optional rules to add to their C&C game, Hackmaster is jam packed with 'em! Besides the KoDT theme, the Hackmaster rules are damn solid. But a simple rules lite system it is not.
