I just had a Hrn Forum flash back.

And my C&C loot is coming? Tomorrow will be 1 month! I understand xmas delays, but that's a bit excessive.

S'ok, I can wait. Just wondering if I fell through the cracks or just wasn't waiting long enough.

I have the boxed set and the FGII ruleset to tide me over.

Am I the only one who hasn't received their xmas order? I've emailed the troll twice about it, but no response as of yet...

Anyone else still waiting?

<t>Holy cow! I'll buy 4E for the same reason I've spent money on tons of other games I never intended or had the chance to play over the past 25 years. If you don't do that sort of thing I openly question your gamer credentials. <br/> _________________<br/> ::: Shane<br/> <br/> ::: Rational thought,...

<t>I host a truly vast campaign journal for David Baldwin, an online friend. It's a Hrnworld campaign titled Nolomar Rising (using modified OD&D, coincidentally) and his been ongoing since 2001.<br/> Nolomar Rising<br/> <br/> The entire journal used to be individual html pages (until session 83)...

I found Age of Heroes an excellent resource to run a very myth oriented quasi-greek campaign in the mid 90s. Are you planning a historical campaign or something just loosely based?

That is brilliant! This should be a sticky.

<t>It amounts to the same thing, but I'm not really a d20-er. I've hardly played d20 at all, actually. I do, however, have a long history with skill based games and I have a tendency to focus on rules and game design.<br/> _________________<br/> ::: Shane<br/> <br/> ::: Rational thought, not superst...

I haven't received anything yet. Alas and woe.

<t>We're going to run this week's D&D game with C&C, to kick the tires so to speak. I want to convert the characters. As far as ability scores go, do you:<br/> 1. just use the same ability scores and then change the modifiers or <br/> <br/> 2. change the ability scores to match the modifiers...

<t>I've been thinking about this all day and I've come to the conclusion that I think I've forgotten how to role play. Too much time gone by, way, way too much working on and focusing on rules. I think I have a hard time relating to a game without the rules-tinted glasses. I seem to do ok as a playe...

Variant rules, tested house rules, tips/tricks, suggestions. Maybe seperate PDFs.
