<t>Any of you guys had problems registering before? My wife is trying to register and it always fails at the confirmation code part. We know it's case sensitive and we've tried it with dozens of different codes, and with different browsers but every time 'confirmation code is incorrect'.<br/> ______...

<t>I'm a big fan of H P Lovecraft, but less so of his Cthulhu stuff. That man was a genius. If you really want to be frightened, read some of his stuff - like 'Rats in the Walls' and 'The Sinister Case of Charles Dexter Ward'. Edgar Allen Poe's good too, 'Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered w...

<t>I keep the initiative as the straight d10. I know there are arguments for adding dex, but there are arguments for adding wis, or because you have better vision, or hearing, or...<br/> <br/> A straight d10 is enough for me. <br/> Also, I like to lull my players into a false sense of security by al...

<t>My background is a DM of 25(ish) years, using such varied systems as RuneQuest, Traveller, Shadowrun, D&D (1e, 2e, 3e, 3.5e), Palladium, Paranoia and a host of others. They each have had their strong suits and I have enjoyed them all (including 3e/3.5e).<br/> <br/> In my experience of C&C...

<t>I know we're talking about rolling dice to determine success or failure when the C&C system is all about not rolling dice to determine success or failure. But this is where I believe C&C's strength lies. Below a certain point I say 'you succeed' or (above a certain point) 'you fail' witho...

<t>Thanks, Jynx. I had actually seen that thread but I was trying to ascertain if I could avoid the whole 'add 3' bit if I was using 10/15 instead of the 12/18. Sounds to me like I can.<br/> <br/> I know 'add 3' isn't difficult, but I was pretty good at identifying correct DCs for the players when I...

<t>I've seen some comments along the lines of using 10/15 instead of 12/18.

I've also seen comments t...

I've never seen the 1st print. Is there any example of it I can see?
