<t>Rising Knight is good. There's a thread around here somewhere that has a link to Beacon at Enon Tor. I ran that one a couple of weeks ago for a player who had never tried C&C, but had played Basic D&D for years (albeit a while ago). It went well and we managed to squeeze it into about thr...

<t>The cool thing is that there's plenty of newer stuff that hearkens back to old southern rock and honky-tonk country without being too stuck in a time warp. Check out Cross Canadian Ragweed, Reckless Kelly, Scott Miller and the wealth of others who manage to keep music from slipping too much into ...

There should be a full listing of them on the "products" page. I put my order in via paypal about an hour ago. Here's hoping for a speedy delivery. I'll be needing this baby soon. I managed to snare an old school Basic D&D player this weekend into the C&C fray. 8)

So How are the Screens?

Has anyone gotten their screen in the mail yet? If so, then how do they look? I plan on ordering mine in the next couple of days so I'm just hoping they're as cool as I've imagined. 8)

I was thinking about that one as well. Cheeplives said that he has it and it is SUPER crunchy. I like the "duel of wits" idea though. It seems like it lays out a way for debate and diplomacy to be handled with stats AND roleplaying. Neat idea.

That is awesome!!! I used to teach guitar when I was studying music and often used little games to get the kids to learn reading, theory and other principles which they probably wouldn't have been interested in learning otherwise. Good luck!

Well they've got the TLG stuff, which is cool. They don't have any of the original TSR modules though. Only that other system which is compatible with the old TSR stuff...and hence C&C.
