<t>In my group the only player who really gets C&C is one who just joined with no previous experience with RPGs. Everyone else in the group played 3E and are used to having a rigidly defined set of things they are allowed to do. Since the C&C rules don't specifically tell them what they can ...

Can they be reprinted in landscape instead of portrait orientation so we can see over the top of them?

Welcome Goatface! I hope you enjoy the boards.

<t>I've had a really bad experience with the Bendy Dungeon Walls illustrated by the OP. The plastic is low-grade and super-brittle, and the hinges break off REALLY easily. After about three play sessions less than half of my wall sections were still intact. Part of the problem is that the post that ...

Welcome Morgrus! I hope you enjoy C&C as much as I have.

<t>Fantasy: C&C (classic old school fantasy with the best system mechanic I've ever seen)<br/> <br/> Sci-Fi: Traveller (incredible wealth of background material; easy to play)<br/> <br/> Modern: GURPS (you can make any character you can conceive - even yourself)<br/> <br/> Horror: Call of Cthulh...

Oh wait, show of hands, who's a C&C fan because they got fed up with D&D?

Hmm. : D

I can eat Doritos while rolling dice - does that count?

Luther wrote: This makes for the ultimate utility, but does it really unbalance the wizard at high levels as well? I'm on the fence about that one. Anyone else got a couple of copper on that subject? It certainly does make the wizard a lot more potent, especially at high levels, so this system woul...

<t>Hi Luther,<br/> <br/> Your rules look pretty workable to me. I especially like your rule for off-hand weapon defense. I'll probably use that rule in my own game.<br/> <br/> I've used a similar spell-casting method for a campaign in which Vancian magic wasn't appropriate (specifically, trying to r...

<t>I was flipping through the spell descriptions looking for precedent in other, similar, spells and noticed that Animate Dead only allows the caster to create a number of hit dice worth of undead equal to his level. This seems like a fair compromise for my Magic Stones dilemma - allow a maximum of ...

<t>Thanks for the reply Serleran. I was torn between applying an arbitrary duration to the spell or allowing only three at a time. I made the decision on the spot without putting much thought into it, but it seemed to work out all right - the Druid had prepared Magic Stones for all of his 1st level ...

<t>I just ran my very first C&C game last night, so naturally I have questions today <br/> During an encounter with a whole lot of zombies the players were awed by the effectiveness of the party Druid's Magic Stones spell against undead, and since there is no duration on the spell they wanted hi...

He was also very insightful and articulate. I remember him on an episode of Politically Incorrect - the politicians he was debating looked like complete asses compared to him. I was sad to hear of his passing

So would we C&Cers be "hippy artist pretentious freeform cooks"? I'm pretty much cool with that...

I kind of like the idea of being a hippy artist pretentious freeform Castle Keeper. Do I need to grow a goatee and wear a beret to live up to the title?

It sounds like the Harn and Goodman modules will be good ones. What should I consider if I qualify for the third?

Paizo's Revenge of the Kobold King is pretty decent.

<t>Interestingly enough the C&C quickstart rules got snapped up pretty quickly at my favourite store. I was pleasantly surprised given the recent 4E excitement. I am starting a C&C campaign at the store tonight so that might have generated some interest in checking the game out.<br/> <br/> T...
