Looks great!

Where's the map on your site's header from?

<t>Simply converting them to a C&C class should strip out most of the munchiness. <br/> <br/> If I were converting Drizzt, I would use my house rules (see the sig) to make him a 16th level Ranger (Primes in Str & Dex) and a 0th level Magic-User (to reflect his basic training at the Drow Acad...

Very, very cool. I will be using this. "unrelently" isn't a word though. "relentlessly" would work in that sentence. Quote: What happens when a cleric turns a dread wolf? Does the metal link allow a save, negate it, or what? Also, is the mental link one way, from creator to wolf,...

How'd you get them over the pit traps? I mean, I know they're agile and smart (for equines), but the...

simrion wrote: Yep, Travellers screen IS awesome! I printed it out and made my own with some cardboard, acetate overlays to protect the printed pages and put some old 2E fantasy artwork on the outside. Thanks Trav!!! I just stapled it over my D&D 3 DM screen. Won't be needing that anymore ... _...

Whereas Goblinoid is spoken by half the residents? Dude, that's harsh.

QUICK NOTE: I noticed that the Campaign Setting info is not appearing on the "Home" page of the group. Click on the Pages section's "View all" to see that info.

<t>All sounds fine to me. <br/> <br/> I like keeping track of EV, but that's because my players are pack-rats, and would carry every weapon and suit of armor from every enemy they killed (to sell once they get back to civilization) if I let them. Having EV, and enforcing rules for backpacks, saddleb...

Lots of good links here:

I suppose you could have an avatar be the one trying to return Bane to the realms instead of Fzoul. Or have Fzoul just trying to summon an Avatar. Pretty much any angle can work. That so...

We have a winner! Welcome to the Crusades! This system was written with you, you specifically, in mind.

Perfect. The PC's are currently just a bit north of Melvaunt, by the Moonsea.

Never heard of the other two; sorry.

<t>Hey folks,<br/> <br/> Quick "bird's eye view" question on the C&C modules available from TLG as I don't own any of them yet.<br/> <br/> Simply put, how adaptable are they to a OD&D/AD&D 1e version of the Forgotten Realms CS? I know they are set in Erde, but how strongly does that come...

Quote: So, here's the big question--for a guy who usually runs pretty extensive campaigns, how vital is Monsters & Treasures? I notice there's a M&T preview which is nice, but over a longer period of time, is this definitely something I'd want? I'm all about being easy on the GM (as long as...
