Okay stupid quesiton, are those made of plastic and foam?

Battle report to come soon.

I swear the naked dwarf wasn't my fault.

<r>Extreme style <br/> The first hour will be straight RAW C&C until the group finds an strange pylon ... and then it's world of Ioan where the world is dying an skyships ride the currents and the sky is lit by swirling cloud day and night. <br/> <br/> It's my own mix of the new Mars pdf, Iron L...

<t>Middle Age European fantasy with a pulp/Swashbuckler feel? I can't think of one off the top of my head.<br/> <br/> Perhaps a BESEM fantasy game or BESM d20 could do it out of the box, though.<br/> <br/> The original over the top fantasy setting in this vein might have been Fung Shui, where you co...

<t>A cool twist on standard fantasy, which is always a plus in my book.<br/> <br/> Check out 50 Fathoms from Pinnicle for more ideas on how to merge fantssy with island nations, including pirates.<br/> <br/> My only complaint, per say is the name of "Elfland," which doesn't seem suitably exotic for ...

Golem or robot, regardless ...* Jynx wrote: When I found C&C I thought PERFECT! C&C has allowed me to run super fast paced games that really allow the pulpy aspect of Eberron shine. .... So all that to say - I LOVE IT. I LOVE C&C. If you have any questions just ask me since I've been run...

My first DnD game was at a Boy Scout camp. They mentioned flaming swords and flying carpets and I was there.

Better yet, that's the story that gets me excited to run C&C.

Prep time, we don't need no stinking prep time!!!

Forgive the double post, but I want to give a shout out for Jynx's Eberron material.

Not all of it is my style, but the parts I want work for me.

As for Eberron, contact Jynx on the board. He's gotten a great head start on playtested C&C material for the setting.

Quote: Nelzie Posted: I fully agree with concobar, warforged are just a "Fantasy Magic" based robot/android creation. Which is usually called a golem (or a living statue) in fantasy litertature. A myth that's been around longer than robots. Quote: American Heritage Dictionary n. In Jewish...

Before I forget, another tip that gets pass around for converting on the fly is that you base the to-hit bonus on the HD of the critter and ignore THACO.

bulletmeat wrote: I kind of agree with the concept of making magic rare usually makes if more 'special and fearsome'. If all this power is available to everyone, what fun is it to wield as a PC? I've gone back and around on this sort of thing. One of the reasons I left old DnD was because only the ...

Professor Phobos wrote: Allow for D20 based conversion of old AD&D/Classic D&D material? I'm also curious as to how easy it would be to convert stuff from, say, Eberron or Midnight. Depends on how closely you want to adhere to the original. If you want something very close, it could be more...

I like one of the suggestions in the 3.5 Unearthed Arcana book. You simply give them a metamagic ability they can use 3 times a day.

Turanil wrote: Never thought of that before, but I find that it fits rather well. Another case in point. I see it more like The Shadow, Doc Savage and Indiana Jones. All of that over the top pulpy goodness. Powers above the normal man, probably. Taking the fight to things that threaten your soul an...

<t>Thanks for the feeback.<br/> <br/> My inherent "balance" was that all the races got some bonuses, especially since C&C has no "challenge rating" system that one has to meet or beat for an encounter.... Besides, who says all encounters are supposed be overcome on the first try. If you add in t...

serleran wrote: The best steampunk setting/game of all time is Castle Falkenstein. After that, I would suggest Masque of the Red Death AD&D2e, though its not really "punk." Ah. I was thinking d20 only. But shame on me. My first game of 3.0 that I ran was a CF conversion with only the ...

serleran wrote: Eberron is to pulp what d20 is to Amber Diceless. I do not hate Eberron, but I do find it has next to nothing to offer me. The majority of ideas are not new to me, and the whole seems rather hodge-podge, with a sort of forced feel. The golem PCs is a huge turn-off, and the tech-magi...

<t>Reaching back to the pulp roots of DnD with a little steampunk, psionics and kitchen sink thrown in, Eberron seems right for Crusading in.<br/> <br/> It even has the feel of some of the homegrown games I've been in with graft and elemental binding. (The longest running old ed. DnD game I was in h...

<r>Try <URL url="http://www.meetup.com">www.meetup.com</URL> to set up a Castles and Crusades group, though you should find to label it as "Dungeons and Dragons" group. <br/> <br/> Down here in South Florida, there are several such groups. At least one for every county and a couple of extra for the ...

<t>Character Races<br/> <br/> Beyond the regular C&C races there are four new races, the golem-like Warforged, the half Dopplegagner Changelings, the spirit-melded Kalashtar, and the lycanthropic Shifters.<br/> <br/> Since Eberron is an over-the-top setting, so should be its heroes, so we provid...

<r>In looking over the Mayfair adventures for sale, I saw some were actually Science Fantasy/Planetary Romance. <br/> <br/> It got me thinking and tempted to put together a C&C "Barsoom" world. Regardless, here are the sources one would want to check out for stuff to steal. <br/> <br/> Mayfair G...

I haven't done this yet, so take it with a grain of salt ...

Have your players make 5th to 6th level characters. For those who love options to chose from, this gives them some abililties to try out and it shouldn't take much longer during character creation.

Professor Phobos wrote: Thanks! That reminds me; I very much like the Changelings from Eberron. Has anyone done a conversion? Not to be a tease, but I have a few pages of notes on how to Crusade In Eberron, including Changelings. The most original parts are my "Advanced Race Abilities" th...
