You might want to try out Voices of the Three.

R-

I'm actually running that one next weekend. One of the players will be a newbie to C&C but played 2nd edition for years. It seems like a good intro.

<t>Well, the result is the same it's just that the description of the process seems a little muddled. In the description in the back the 6 is the Challenge Level and 12 is the Challenge Base. Una rolled (after modifiers) a 20 so you can look at two different ways: She beat her CB of 12 by 8 (20-12= ...

<t>I use some classical music as background, but I have also gotten some of those mp3's that are available at rpgnow. They have one that's all tavern sounds and others that are ambient background noise and music. I just keep a couple of easily accessible playlists arranged by mood on my iPod with ea...

Yeah, I've checked out Blackmoor's Night a little bit, but I think that I'd rather listen to actual renaissance music since sometimes that BN stuff gets a little too "euro-rock" in nature for me.

I had those babies. Very cool. Although these new ones have a totally different art style. Now where i...

I always thought that Max Shreck's version of the vampire was the absolute creepiest.

<t>I agree with pretty much everyone here on all of their points. The portability of pdf's is nice, but I don't like using my laptop for a gaming session. What I like to do is have my core books in hard copy and then I can print out any modules or extra material from my hard drive. We've got a prett...

Yeah, that one is really funny. I have friends who are Warcraft junkies that made me aware of that episode. Too true, too true.

Good to hear! I wish you a speedy recovery to full health.

No, in AD&D3 the TN is a flat 15, and you get +5 for your primes.

Yeah, you're right. I can't remember where I've seen that recently. Maybe Medieval Murder Mysteries or Go For Yer Gun. I have egg on my face...TWICE!!!

gideon_thorne wrote: Try this method. 12 for the class's prime, 15 for the secondary prime(s) and 18 for non prime. Isn't that the one that cperkins uses in his "AD&D3" file? I rather like that one. EDIT: I just realized which freakin' thread I'm in. To csperkins: I like your adaptati...

irda ranger wrote: Disagree with Treebore. Currently the 2-book format allows for a "complete game" with only two books. That's a Good Thing(TM), since it lowers the cost of entry for new players who just want to play C&C "as is." A UA-like CKG would then be for CK's who wan...

I've seen that before too. I like how the two regulars are all smug and full of themselves. Too true, too true.

Sounds good to me. Unearthed Arcana is my favorate D20 "Nuts and Bolts" book.

Careful...I think that they're talking about 1st edition Unearthed Arcana.

Must...have...mushroom....

Uh...Do you really have them all in .pdf files? That's pretty cool. I'd really like to get my hands on some old Dungeon magazines in .pdf format.

They've all been spoiled by the gorgeous and oft times distracting images in the Wizards books. It's a tuff crowd to please. Well, some people will always buy form ...

<t>Good luck!!! At first I don't even say, "Castles & Crusades." I just kind of go, "You wanna play some D&D?" Then I let them in on the truth: "This is D&D guys, but it's called Castles & Crusades." Then I give them the Mad Irishman's character sheets and they never really know the ...

<t>I just do the adventures modules in .pdf form. We have a printer here at home so I just print those babies out (I print on both sides to save paper). I'm like you Lurker, I don't like to have my computer sitting in front of me during a gaming session (I prefer my DM's screen, pencils, scratch pap...

<t>My grandmother battled esophageal cancer in the early 90's. I'm sorry to say that she didn't make it, but she had several good years and a long period of remission. But every year doctors have gotten better and better at treating cancer and every year they seem to have more information to go on. ...

serleran wrote: Yep, 24 pages. Some of it is the random monster tables, though. That's just as good as well. Coming from 2e I'm a little more familiar with the monster tables than the dungeons tables. That's more of something which I've gotten a chance to look at in the past month that I finally go...

<t>Welcome to the Crusades Lurker. Hmmm. Where in Georgia are you? Warner Robins? Moody? I live in Marietta myself so if you happen to be at Dobbins then you could come and join in a game sometime, but since that's primarily a reserve base now, I imagine you're not there. Now as for that stack of bo...

<t>The overall cost shouldn't be too bad for the print version, especially since they could probably just consider it an advertising expense. I like hard copies for my core books, but .pdf form of adventures is ok by me. I wonder how the cost gets allocated for those however since beyond the initial...

I've got a 24 page dungeon generator. Looking for feedback and playtesting. NDA assumed if one wishes to look.

I'd like to see that! Twenty-four pages?

*smiles* If folks want some authors who are a fair bit different in their fantasy try these. Simon R Green, David Gemmell, and Kim Harrison. ^_^

Thank you. I will.

<t>Hey, everyone has to eat and if that stuff sells then so be it. I just can't believe that the fans of fantasy literature can keep re-reading the same stories over and over again. I have a friend that reads that stuff by the barrel full, but I can only take so much of it. Even after I reread LOTR ...

gideon_thorne wrote: *chuckles* All fantasy, modern or otherwise, in some way apes litterary, or mythological works from an earlier time. Such a comparison is moot. Well, a lot of them share the same archetype of a story: You are special; you have a quest to save the world/your home; here...have a ...

So our anniversary should be celebrated on August 24th rather than in November.

Shhh. Don't let her hear you say that or you'll have to buy TWO anniversary gifts a year.
