<t>Just so happens I called Steve on Monday to check on my Crusader sub (I want to sub for a year, 12 issues, but there aren't any provisions for that. Yet.), along with checking to see when the Dungeon Mapping Sheets will be available (mid-October, perhaps. A relatively short delay.)<br/> <br/> I m...

Naleax wrote: I was wondering how some of you CK's or DM's roll dice. My prefrence is to roll all attack and damage rolls in front of the party. I generally roll all rolls that could give players information that they are not privy to behind the screen. An example would be hiding. A player does not...

<t>I suppose I would be considered a roughly average-to-somewhat-stingy CK when it comes to experience awarded and treasure gained. Granted, the overwhelming majority of what I've been running have been Casey Christofferson's modules (Haunted Highlands, Crater of Umeshti, and Deeper Darkness) droppe...

sieg wrote: As the primary author of the Knight class, I must say I don't like how it got changed so that they only can have a "Riding Horse" at start. C'mon! Its like requiring Fighters to start with only leather armor. It compromises one of the arguably main points of the class. Well, t...

<t>I voted Barbarian. While the class, as written up in the C&C PHB is somewhat different from the write-up in the 1e UA, it still leaves me cold. There's less of an emphasis on the Barb's "mistrust" of magic (practitioners, as well as enchanted items). But beyond the additional HP, there's litt...

<t>Last year, once our gaming group had decided to switch over from 1E AD&D to C&C and, incidentally, during the "2 For One" product sale, I ordered a pair of the core books and CK screens through the web site. Since the ordering process wasn't sufficiently clear, Steve sent me an e-mail ask...
