The best purchased adventure you've CKed (C&C processes)

[slimykuotoan]

...using the C&C rule set.

If you could also provide a 'why', that'd be great!

I'm just curious as to how C&C works with various modules (D&D and etcetera), and also which factors make it successful as a system.

For me, I've had quite a few successes, but one of the best that comes to mind is 'A Lion in the Ropes' -which surprised me as well!

Aside from being a really interesting adventure to CK (I got to be a wizened, local lord fast approaching senility -my take on him anyway- a pile o' nasty ungern and goblins, an ungern chief -I got to use my giant voice for this one- and well, also a lion), we had a chance to put the Seige system through its paces.

What really hit it for the group, was the fact that we encountered a lot of situations which called for some brainstorming as to how characters could accomplish various of tasks not covered in the rules: battling in a river/muddy area, spotting stuff in unusual situations, using grappling hooks to hook gargoyles set on a wall, and then pulling them down, dealing with characters with split kness, etc. (we used a critical hit/fumble table).

This is where the Siege engine truly shined.

No surprise in the above examples for us old time C&Cers on these boards, but it was rather the sheer fluidity and quickness of this logical process that floored us as a gaming group.

Indeed, combat, etc. was so seamless that we were 'in the flow' throughout the adventure (that moment when you're so 'into' the game, you lose track of real time, and of the fact that you're sitting in a chair and not really in Aihrde battling stuff).

Honestly, this was a mesmerizing game that had the players actually sweating with strained looks on their faces, and one which would've made Jack Chick proud...
