I'm hoping amended poison will be downloadable but they didn't do that with the added equipment from the second print. So I'm not holding my breath.

I just had a thought about calling the PH the Crusaders Handbook. Ok, time for bed now...

That's a cool idea, but I don;t know for about the PHB. Maybe a supplment down the road? I dunno. Or how about for the next special edition to be released... THE CRUSADER EDITION! Nice.

Frankly though, I hope there is a little bit more work put into the 3rd printing. By that I mean, there still lingers a few glaring errors from the Leatherette Edition, that while pretty much insignificant to the game itself, need to be addressed.

Whatever you know of, compile them and send out. I'm sure they will make it in if they are addressed.

I should do that, but I worry about whomever is working on the errata getting several sources at a time. Sometimes when a bunch of people submit eratta it gets mixed up and confused.

Hi all. First post here. I'm very interested in C&C, but I don't own any products...yet! I plan on ordering the Players Handbook, but upon reading this thread I may just wait until the 3rd printing comes out. I'm in no huge rush, as I probably won't be able to actually play a game until summer anyway.

I do have a question, though. How many printings of the Monsters & Treasures book have there been? And are any new printings planned?

Hey trolls,

If I am not too late, I would love to see a description for all the weapons /armor and gear pieces. I am not English and one of my players keeps asking for a darn Diggery-do, what the hell is a diggery-do? Probably a tool for digging? Because I think I am going to shove one to my player's where the sun does not shine soon!
If Peter would be willing to illustrate them, it would be a big plus! "Hint" to Mr. Bradley...
Please add a functional Character Sheet; the one provided in the 2nd Printing is lacking a few important info. like class abilities and so on...

I sent the Trolls a full character sheet months ago for C&C/Zagyg including all the info (from wt, to abilities, to social class rank of Zagyg...); however I never heard a word about it. (Should I send it again?) I will need a troll bane sword soon me thinks!

Ahh the same thing I noticed. Three blocks for equipment and non for class or racial abilities.

There has only been one printing of the M&T thus far. The second printing of the M&T and the third printing of the PHB will both be going to the press here shortly.

A Diggery-do is not a weapon, its a musical instrument. Its a long wooden pipe that makes a low droneing noise. If you have ever watched the Crocodile Dundee movies its the thruming droning sound playing in the background when they are in the outback.

Haha, but it could be a weapon. We had fun posting about this interesting instrument on DF some time back. I've carried one in several games and some CKs did indeed grant 1 D4, if used as a weapon - it's bamboo after all!

My English is that bad, uh? I think you confused my request about the description for weapons/armor and gear (The later meant as adventuring gear or inventory to be more specific.) However, thanks for letting me know what it is.
Rhuvein, 1d4 you say? Hummm, "me gots" a wicked plan. I will diggery-do that on that player... Mwa, ha, ha...
Oh and hi, Strongheart. Welcome to the serious boards.

Well.. one could always use a diggery-do to shoot enormous spit wads at people?

So will you be illustrating the gear section in the 3rd reprint?

As a matter of fact, the diggery-do can be seen in Crocodile Dundee II. Its the tool used to communicate with others. You could whap someone upside the head, though... but you can do that with a lute too.
