Has C&C ever inspired you to...

[vivsavage]

... devise your own "nostaligia" RPG? I've been working on a game called Orcs & Ogres for a while and really find C&C a big inspiration, even if my game is really just for me (and anyone who is curious). C&C has taken what was fun about 1st edition AD&D and cut out the questionable aspects with such perfection that I'm not even sure if I'll bother finishing mine. Anyone else?

Good point! Perhaps I'm a glutton for abuse.

Absolutely... kinda. Really, since I think that C&C is the epitome of classic gaming for the modern age, I created (almost) "Basic C&C." Essentially my Basic C&C game is the C&C PHB, stripping out most of the text and rules. This makes it like the C&C box set, but MY version of the C&C box set. I'm not quite done with it yet, as it's been a work in progress for about a year or so.

I don't know if this qualifies as my "own" nostalgia RPG, but it's as close as I can get.

I have Illusions of publishing and making my own game. Then reality hits; I do not have the want to write; I do not have the want to make a game. I only have the want to butcher games. C&C is current favorite.

Although I have been thinking whimsically about doing a Traveller adventure to break the all fantasy genre for 2.5 years+. Trail, Secret, and Fate of the Sky Raiders.......

I'm working on some, but I have been since before C&C was finished being developed. Since then, I've been busy on other things, and haven't put any time on them. Mostly "beer and pretzel" stuff.

Well... C&C hasn't although reading the various bit in the Crusader has inspired me some. Actually about 15 years ago, while I was travelling in London, I picked up an interesting hardcover book on Fantasy Wargaming. In it included basic stats and framework which inspired to do my own RPG. I was already heavily into AD&D at the time but didn't really know too much about the origins of the game or chainmail at the time.

Suffice to say that I 'developed' about pages of material before I decided that I was perfectly happy with AD&D anyway!

Fantasy Wargaming...that book was odd. But a friend of mine got some use out of those tables for generating mental problems..

..of course he used them for Boot Hill, but hey...

I think that's what attracted me to the book... it was a bit odd and different. I think that's also why it inspired me a bit. It was a breath of fresh air of sorts. The same kind of thing that attracts someone to a new RPG which, even if you buy it, you may never use.

I think I'm going to pull it out a bit later and take another close look at it. Who knows, I might be able to pull something else out of it.
