Try to incorporate them into your existing groups, maybe?

<t>What about Imprisonment? That's similar to a coma-like state. Just modify it to seem like a suspended animation type spell.<br/> _________________<br/> later<br/> <br/> SSS<br/> <br/> ----------------------------<br/> <br/> "Size matters not."<br/> <br/> -Yoda, Jedi Master</t>

<t>C&C is like...being in the final encounter at the end of a 3 year long campaign, everyone else in your party is at negative HP's, you only have one HP left, you're out of spells, you win initiative and now you need a natural twenty to kill the great evil villian<br/> <br/> ...and then you rol...

<t>The thing about C&C is the simple rules and minimal reference material. That's great for us, the consumer, but bad for the company. to be realistic, they are in it for the money. The problem presents itself when the product has been out for a while and people don't need anything else. So, to ...

<t>Looking for players in East Tennessee. I would be happy to join a C&C group as a PC or to CK.<br/> <br/> I'll be living in the Sweetwater area for the next year or so.

<t>This is probably one of my biggest gripes about C&C. I think that if the arcane magic is different, then the spells should be different. Meaning wizards DON'T get invisibility!! This just makes sense to me that if Illusion is such a large "school" and if the magic is different then how can th...

Thanks Serl...

Anyone else running this campaign in C&C?

<t>I've been reading the Lost City of Barakus and I want to run it. Problem is, I'm having some trouble with conversions. Converting NPC's is easily done except some of the character classes.

<t>I travel a lot for work, and I like to stop in some of the LGS's when I'm on the road. I've had 50% success at using the yellow pages combined with a web search for "game stores near ____".<br/> <br/> I will say that most of the gaming I've done has been M:tG. I've played in the past.

<t>Welcome to the crusade!<br/> <br/> I'm with DangerDwarf on the suggestion of running the Beacon at Enon Tor. It is well written, simple, and easy to modify. It was the first scenario I ran in C&C (but I've ran lots of D&D games).<br/> <br/> Learning a new system is exciting and a lot of w...
