<r>Aye, C&C is a great system. I have been porting things over from my original AD&D (1st Ed) modules, with hardly any conversion work at all.<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Aladar<br/> <br/> Warden of the Welk Wood<br/> <br/> Baron of the Castles & Crusades Society<br/> <br/> The Post...

<r>mordrene,<br/> <br/> It worked out ok. We only got to about 14th level in that campaign. The cost for the higher level spells caused the spell casters to manage their spell resources more carefully which seemed to be a good thing. The spell users were able to cast a lot more lower level spells an...

<r>M,<br/> <br/> Since I am considering using these for C&C and not using "Feats", I was curious as to if anyone thinks the non-spell users (i.e. Fighter, Knight, Thief, and Assassin) need any kind of a boost to equal out?<br/> <br/> After looking at the Book of Experimentasl Might, I am thinkin...

<r>Well met Dee & Franois. <br/> <br/> Dee,<br/> <br/> I am sure that gaming is hereditary, at least it was in my case, both my sons play. No one who plays RPGs is boring. <br/> _________________<br/> Lord Aladar<br/> <br/> Warden of the Welk Wood<br/> <br/> Baron of the Castles & Crusades S...

<r>In the past, I have used a system where all spell casters get half their Int or Wis (depending on class) rounded down times their class level in Spell Points (SP). So a 4th level Wizard with an Int of 18 gets 36 SPs per day.<br/> <br/> A spell costs its level squared in SPs to cast, so a 2nd leve...

<r>After looking over this, I foresee one problem. What about the non-spell using classes. They will need something to equate to the disciplines. May be a few "feat" type disiplines are in order for them to choose from at every even or third level.<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Aladar<br/> <br/> ...

<r>I still use my 1st Ed AD&D GM's Guide, and all three of the MMs for my C&C game. Plus some stuff from the RC as well. <br/> <br/> Can't go wrong with the classics.<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Aladar<br/> <br/> Warden of the Welk Wood<br/> <br/> Baron of the Castles & Crusades Soc...

<r>I also wrote a paper on the misconcpetions of D&D back when I was in college. <br/> <br/> The group I think he was talking about was BADD (Bothered About D&D). I had a run in with one of their members back in the early 80s. Poor woman wouldn't listen to reason, kept pointing her finger at...

<r>Well met. Welcome Dirgesinger and Thongor.<br/> <br/> I think you will find these folks very friendly and helpful in all matters of C&C. <br/> Thonger,<br/> <br/> You cannot screw up English any worse than we Americans do every day. <br/> _________________<br/> Lord Aladar<br/> <br/> Warden o...

<r>serleran,<br/> <br/> That is a fine tribute. This definately should be included in C&T II so that the Qigyg can be immortalized forever.<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Aladar<br/> <br/> Warden of the Welk Wood<br/> <br/> Baron of the Castles & Crusades Society<br/> <br/> The Poster form...

<r>I also purchased a copy. Good stuff. <br/> <br/> I am thinking about using the disciplines in my C&C game also. I don't know about the 20 levels of spells though, might complicate things too much. <br/> <br/> I also like the idea of at least using base CON to boost starting hit points, but I ...

<r>For those of you who are interested, here is an excellent Star Frontiers site done by Bill Logan. He has done some very good work on remastering the Star Frontier books and modules, plus he has his own SF magazine, the Star Frontiersman.<br/> <br/> Give it a look:<br/> <URL url="http://www.starfr...

<r>I have found, in my limited experience, that most of the old AD&D (1st Ed) modules will work fine with C&C. <br/> <br/> I will also add that Tegal Manor (original JG copy) is one of the best "crawls" I have been in and ran as a DM, and I am looking forward to using it in C&C. There is...

<r>I am another big fan of the various Volo's Guides.

<r>The second movie (Roughnecks) went straight to DVD release, and it sucked.<br/> <br/> I read an article way back when that basically said the CGI guys couldn't afford to do good jobs on both the armor and the bugs, so they chose to do the bugs and just skip the suits. <br/> <br/> Geleg,<br/> <br/...

<r>My welcome to froglegg as well.<br/> <br/> I have found C&C to be more old school (1st Ed AD&D and the old D&D).<br/> <br/> It uses a more simple d20 like system called SIEGE which is a far easier, faster, and more of a well flowing system than d20. <br/> <br/> I will echo Matthew, an...
