<t>The Amazons delivered my C&C PHB 2nd Printing today. Korgoth is pleased! I like what I'm seeing. This is fantasy roleplaying from the good old days... but cleaned up and improved.<br/> <br/> I like the way the bard class is handled: a normal class (unlike 1st ed), and more of a skald than the...

I like good ol' 1st edition myself!

<t>Just some random barbarian musings:<br/> <br/> While I see the point of C&C having its own identity, and that's surely a good thing, the reason I took the plunge was a combination of D20 Fatigue and a desire to use all of my old BECMI and 1st & 2nd ed AD&D materials without having to ...

For example, if the PC's secondary skill is Tailor/weaver, then advancing as a Cleric wouldn't improve his skill as a ...

<t>I think of Metropolis by Fritz Lang. There's a basic confusion between man and machine: society becomes unable to tell the difference between a human being and a tool for its use.<br/> <br/> I think that runs through all the later literature in some form or another.<br/> _________________<br/> "I...

Thanks, all. I'm looking forward to it! Treebore wrote: You'll feel like you have been "reborn" by your third gaming session. Welcome! Also, have you seen www.cncplayer.net That's good to hear. Because I've been kind of losing my interest in role-playing of late (I've painted up lots of ni...

Incidentally... does anybody know if this is going to be a regular series?

Korgoth of Barbaria is the best cartoon ever.

But perhaps Korgoth is biased!

I particularly appreciated the old school heavy metal soundtrack intruding at various points. That pushed it over the line from "funny" to "classic".

<t>Something I thought might work, which is a house rule I made up for older editions of D&D and Gamma World 1st ed.: instead of adding your STR bonus to damage, you add the amount by which you hit... so if you rolled 5 over the number needed to hit, you do +5 damage.<br/> <br/> This means that ...

Ah! Thanks.

<t>Based off of reviews and posts I've read online, I took the plunge and ordered the C&C PHB 2nd printing off of Amazon. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm excited.<br/> <br/> Mainly, I'm interested in the game because I want something lighter and quicker than 3.X, that preserves the Old School fee...
