<t>C&C's SIEGE mechanic is somewhat similar in that when a skill check situation arises you simply look at what attribute that skill in question should be tied to and apply the appropriate DC while taking into account if the attribute is a prime one or secondary one on the character.<br/> <br/> ...

<t>I am really liking the Critical Hit deck so far. It gives some really neat effects for when a player scores a critical hit and there are even rules for how a GM can use them against players (but monsters have a harder time doing so). <br/> <br/> Each card differentiates what kind of damage is in ...

Miasmal worms product?

What's that?

<t>Wow! What an awesomely cool explanation! Great job Greg! I think they should print that out and print it in later printings of LA!<br/> <br/> I havea couple questions. First of all....during my lunch break at work today I went to my local brick and mortar rpg store and bought a few goodies. I bou...

How about you explain to me what LA is all about....describe it to me please, Greg Ellis.

I had that same stumbling block. I like how in C&C, I already know all the rules!

Me too! I cracked the book open and it was like it all made sense and I already knew how to play. It didn't seem like it took me like 20-30 mins to read through what I needed to.

Happy b-day!

Lejendary Adventure kind of loses me right at the beginning with the huge amount of defininitions it wants you to learn. Most of it is renaming concepts we are all familiar with already but trying to get us to stop thinking in the old rpg mode.

<t>I would ideally like to leave skills completely out of the game and only use the SIEGE mechanic of rolling a d20+mods vs. a DC number basically (primes, etc.).<br/> <br/> The catch is to know what skill situation would fit what attribute?<br/> <br/> I am going to use the list in the book that des...

What do you use for a skill system?

Omote wrote: I use a FEAT list too, that is much like the 3rd edtion game. Generally speaking, like feats, and I like what they add to characters. Players just seem to love them so I fully incorporated a custom list into my C&C games. The rules are slightly different then the 3rd edtion version...

If you could e-mail me those feat and skill rules to BSGStarbuck5150@yahoo.com I can check them out while at work.

Thanks!

Awesome! I'd love to chat with you and look forward to those rules for skills and feats when you can get them to me.

Thanks!

Anyone else want to chime in too?

I am also considering prestige classes from the Warlords of the Accordlands setting. Any opinions on prestige classes in Castles and Crusades and any rules out there on it that anyone has made?

<t>Ok....one of the things I am looking at is customization and house rules for my campaign. I picked up all the books for the Warlords of the Accordlands setting while I was at Origins and I am thinking of using all of them for my initial Castles and Crusades campaign. <br/> <br/> One of the things...

I'd rather buy it at one of my local stores than order it and have to pay shipping and handling.

hehe

I wonder if I will see the new second printing in my local stores anytime soon. Anyone know what the spine number on the Monsters and Treasures second edition should be?

Wow...I was about to buy the Monsters and Treaures book...when is the second printing due for that? And what about the Castle Keeper's book too?

The descriptions mentions: "the only rules addition or change appearing in the 3rd printing are the new poison charts for the assassin."

How can I get these poison charts? This seems pretty important for an assassing character.

Printing err....

THIRD printing is out????????

What is the difference between third and second and how/where to get it?

I checked the spine and it is indeed 2nd. edition.

<t>hehe...it sounds like fun! I also read that it is also really supposed to be set in the world of Greyhawk, although not explicitly saying so, to avoid copyright issues.<br/> <br/> Also, does anyone know how to tell if you have a first edition or second edition printing of the players handbook?

I just read up on Castle Zygaz..it sounds very interesting. I wonder what the level requirements are for most of it?

<t>You mean the rule where it only takes 1 hour per spell to prepare?<br/> <br/> Also, is there an official campaign setting for C&C? I've read a little bit about Castle Zagyg but I'm not too familiar with campaign settings for it.<br/> <br/> I am sooooo torn right now.<br/> <br/> I am trying to...

<t>Thanks! I am pretty shocked how similar C&C is to 1st. edition D&D but done right! I am also shocked how easy it is to pick it up and figure out how to play in no time at all. The only rule I'm not fond of so far is the time it takes for wizards and illusionists to prepare their spells. <...

<t>I think I may be sold! I just started reading the players handbook and I am falling in love with the simple rules. I am finding that since I have a good understanding of d20 that with just a few modifications, I already know how to play the game!<br/> <br/> What I have been missing! It seems the ...

I like Saga Edition Star Wars much better than normal d20. I LOVE Savage Worlds. And C&C sounds much more like what I'm looking for than 3.5 D&D.

How does it stand up against 3.5 D&D?

Very cool!

I'm an old vet for RPGs and for D&D too. I bet I myself could learn it quickly if I sit down tonight and read it. I'm getting a fantasy itching and am wanting to either start or get into a campaign.
