<t>I read the first three or first four. First four, I think, but stopped. The first two were excellent, but for some reason they stopped being as interesting. (And this from a guy who still thinks the Wheel of Time, even including books 7-9, is interesting.) My wife loves 'em, though. The last one ...

Indeed. Happy Birthday.

<t>I'm in the group that isn't thrilled by the price increase, but I'll still buy the M&T (and future hardbacks, like the CKG) even with a price increase.<br/> <br/> I would like to see PDF options available at some point. I know there is concern about piracy (and lets not have that discussion h...

What do you use for a skill system?

So far, the book as written, with additional skills (swimming, etc) taken from the player's background.

I use minis (DDM prepainted plastic ones), with dungeon tiles, WWG terrain and anything else I can get my hands on. I love 'em, and for our group it adds an element to game play (YMMV). I just don't have all the same silly rules about how many people can be in a space anymore.

<t>C&C is much less, um, Anime inspired than 3x seems to be these days, which I think is what you're asking. <br/> Its a lot more "traditional" of an FRP game. Not to say you couldn't Eberronize it if you wanted to (a recall a thread where someone said they did just that), but out of the box its...

<t>C&C is a game in and unto itself ... but it will remind you a lot of 1E and 2E D&D. A WHOLE LOT. Its basically the old D&D shell, updated with some more modern mechanics - ie, the SIEGE roll, which is a unified mechanic for skills, ability checks, busting open doors, and all of those ...

daddystabz wrote: Perhaps Savage Worlds fantasy is more for me. Try it, then try C&C. In fact, you might even try to play the same module/dungeon/scenario in both, and see what you like more. I love SW, but I like the older school feeling of C&C for most fantasy. I created an old school SW ...

<t>Besides the aforementioned suggestions (and for the record, I've never had good luck finding players at a game store), here are a few more:<br/> <br/> You might also search yahoo groups to see if there are any in your area. I know here (in Austin) there is one, and when I was looking for another ...

<t>I haven't played LA, so I can't speak to it. But I'm a huge SW fan (converted my group over a few years ago), and just recently started with C&C.<br/> <br/> SW and C&C have some big differences. SW is still a bit faster, furiousor system overall, but C&C is a bit more freeform in what...

<t>I finally received my copy of the Player's Guide. I bought the boxed set a while back (2 months ago, I think), and CSIO a month ago, and have been dying to get a campaign going, but after reading through most of the boxed set, realized I needed something with a higher level approach - like the PG...

<t>The more I think about the combined-XP multi-class idea (ala race as a class), the more I like it. For the most part, not much would change, but levels would always be consistent, and HD would be easier to deal with (choose a class to take the hit die from, and always use that).<br/> <br/> I'm go...

It's way more fun as a card game than as an RPG. Haven't played the card game, but have both run and played the RPG. Its a blast, but requires a ...

I've got one.

I think the original Slavers are still my favorite. So much so I'm going to run it as soon as my players are high enough level in my C&C Wilderlands game.

<t>I use a variant of EGG's rules, with a few addition bits thrown in/changed. Basically:<br/> MULTI-CLASSING<br/> <br/> Some very rare individuals (PCs and the occasional NPC) are able to multi-class, that is, operate and advance in two different classes simultaneously. Characters may only choose t...

Start by converting their current XP figures over directly, and see where that puts each one.

<t>I'm an unabashed 3x convert. I played it for a few years, never found my grove with it, and moved on to Savage Worlds and now C&C. So, I'd say go for it - give it a shot and convert it.<br/> <br/> Of course, you're on a C&C forum, so I suspect you're going to get mostly the same advice he...

Or you do the classic trick, and shoot them either far into the future or the past ... preferably at the beginning of some cataclysm, forcing them to use the last wish to undo their previous one!

I tried a few times to download it, but never got past the Account Creation page.

The Flumph.

<t>Gawds I envy you. I've been trying to get the Wilderlands PG for the last month+.<br/> <br/> I ordered it from RPGShop.com, and a month after not getting it and a bevy of lame excuses (including "the shipping system changed your zip code" - yeah, like I believe that one), I finally gave up and or...

<t>Honestly? Probably a fat wad of cash.<br/> <br/> Given my training in D&D wishes (from both sides of the screen), its one of the few wishes I think I could get right. Wishing for world peace (whirled peas) or other high falutin' ideas is a recipe for disaster, as is wishing to change somethin...
