<t>I agree that it is up to the party to disperse the treasure. Usually I recommend especially if they are new players to distribute any coins evenly but keep a party pool for money as well to pay for group items. It also makes it easier for me as the CK to subtract basic expenses from that pool tha...

Now if a teengage girl can underarm a big ball 60', a sling, which multiplies the force many times, can certainly whale that ...

Lord Dynel wrote: Javelin world records are in the 90-ish meter range. That's nearly 300 feet. That's not accounting for any accuracy. Taking accuracy into account, I'd say 100 feet, at most, and I would even consider that the long, long range. Which is about what it is now as 90' is the max range ...

<t>I can see a reason to increase the ranges but I also see a reason to keep them where they are. You then also have to take what really is the weapons maximum range vs. effective range into the mix as well. In the end you are going to need to balance possible realistic vs. playability. <br/> <br/> ...

<t>Depends I usually just let everyone go simultanously. I figure out what the npc were planning and then let the PC go only stopping an action if an npc was doing something that would stop or effect their action. Record damage then have the NPC do their thing and finally let the player know if any ...

Is that true or am I delusional? No you are correc...

Thanks for the reminder about the training. I noticed that but then I usually on these types of adventures ignore that rule but one playing that enforces that rule will have trouble finding time to let them train or will find their character very much outclassed at some point.

Anyone have ideas to improve these adventures or advice in running them for those using them right now?

I mean you take the Airde setting and use Runequest or GURPS, the way the setting will play will be very different. I don't care what peop...

<t>I think they are pretty good. The plot is a little bit rigid but if you are taking a group of players who want to be heroes they will fall in line pretty easily as the party gets in a sense pulled into the events of the area. <br/> <br/> One danger is if the party isn't careful at times they can ...

I think I liked the red better myself and I think either will stand out at a gamestore more than the originals.

Glad things worked out.

Lord D. - just read through these last week and have some thoughts. Why don't we take up the discussion over in the Modules forum?

I just started a thread about those modules a couple of days ago feel free to add your thoughts there.

<t>I missed why they are changing the covers but I kind of like the new look but I also like the old one as well. <br/> <br/> I see one advantage to having a new design for this next printing as it seems the greatest amount of changes and errata correction is taking place and will help avoid confusi...

<t>I would go with the basics first. unhook and unplug it and let it sit for a few minutes then rehook and replug with no ink in it. Turn it. Only then I would then put try and put the new ink in and see and then the old if it does not work. <br/> <br/> After that I would have to see the error messa...

I am not sure but I would say both half regenerate but the soul of the body can only reside in one of them so the other half would come back souless as a type of undead or animated type creature which would desire to destroy the PC.

I wish I saw this sooner as I only live about an hour from you.

<t>Thanks for the update. I will have to get that boxed set. I do really like the adventures which was what caused my concern as I know my players. Some are younger and won't understand some things without explaination and it is those guys especially my one son who is trying to learn to be CK would ...

Thanks for all the welcomes and it will be great to be able to bounce ideas of you so that my games do not get stale. Right now I am running one group with 5players and myself and hope to have another one about the same size running soon as well.

<t>It is for a couple of reasons.<br/> <br/> 1st, I think C&C is a great game.<br/> <br/> 2nd, I needed to cut down on the amount of games I have since I only have time to play a few. C&C fits that bill to allow me to play variety of old style games I like with a updated and fairly clean rul...

<t>I am running my players through this set of modules currently and I have to admit I miss the older maps though the new ones are great as well.<br/> <br/> I wish both sets were in the new modules. I like the more realistic map for location in the newer one but I like the d20 maps for handouts. Som...

<t>ok I am going through the module and have found these in db4: <br/> <br/> Pg 13 Zneduri is a 2 level rogue/ 2nd level Illusionist.<br/> <br/> Pg 16 Gundric is a 3rd level fighter /4th level artisan. <br/> <br/> Pg 26 Elundra is a 1st level Ranger/ 4th level artisan.<br/> <br/> So this also begs t...

I know they are in th db series of modules at least in DB4 but I will check to see if they are in any other of the DB series.

<t>I don't have any of the Zygag books and I know I can make a home rule but my question is on official modules using multiclassing and which rules were used to do so. I am asking for a couple of reasons. <br/> <br/> 1. If I want to make other NPCs that are similiar I would like to know what method ...
