Top Secret the original was great. The death of the Soviet Union kinda took the wind out of the sails.

No doubt if you use weapon specialization options from late 1e or 2e, the fighter is more of a death dealing machine. I dont think you brought second wind into your calculations. If you did so, honestly how could a 4e 1st level fighter die fighting goblins (up to 15 or so)?

Keep on the Shadowfell is very expensive for my new downwardly revised (due to three small kids) gaming budget, thus I want help assessing whether I'll like it before I commit to $30. I am asking you, if you've seen the module, to make an educated guess based on what I tell you about my gaming...

Ive hated paperless dungeon. THis is a decent adventure.

Thank God Monte can't quit. Enworld and the smiles of his fans are like crack to Mr Cook (fortunately).

what makes greyhawk greyhawk? Four things: 1) To quote shakespeare "the play is the thing." How'd we find out about drow? through an adventure series. Lolth and the EEG? The Slave Lords of the Pomarj? Tharizdun. Adventuring hints not 900 page cookbook setting handbook that'll never get...

Dungeon and Dragon are now irrelevant to me. Its free right now and I don't even bother to read most of the issues. I don't like the online site (it is hard to navigate and read). I loathe the delve format. I loved content from Erik Mona, James Jacobs, Logue, Pett, Schneider and the rest and...

My comments were not meant to rain on anyone's parade. As I said, I hope you succeed. If I saw a neutral third party that I respect give you a thumbs up, I might order an issue. That being said, I was questioning the business case. To me, price is the biggest barrier to experimentation. If...

Ummm, yes actually. In the business world, they would call Dungeon, Paizo's pathfinder or Kobold Quarterly (<$10 for four sixty-eighty page pdfs), a competitive reference point. I love old school, I wish the new publication well, I just don't understand why its a decent value. Why wouldnt...

Does 30 pp for $6.38 seem pretty steep to other people? Isnt that about what I paid for Dungeon which had high quality illustrations, etc and was about 3x as long?

Sounds awesome as long as you have a chance to escape. Who wants an easy win all the time? Now, think about another approach (invisibility, fly, stealth, etc) or just go after easier pickings.

What level PCs is the adventure appropriate for?

As you can see from Treebore and my comments, we play C&C on the same chasis but we have about ten or so medium sized differences, extra classes, feats vs. no feats, etc. Whats cool about that is you can steal from each other or experiment. For example, I will now add his wizard spontaneous...

I can't wait for the T-34 model of Panzergeist.

thus, the world's warforged would kind of be experimental castoffs or the magical equivalent of doodling.

you could make the warforged creation process pretty well known among mages. But the cost of construction is so high relative to their power that most mages prefer not to waste their time and or money, opting for a powerful golem once they are powerful and rich

Yes. It is easy to house rule and I strongly encourage it. Just keep house ruling simple in the spirit of C&C. For example: 20 very simplified feats from 3e Allow cleave and power attack for any pcs with strength primes and two-handed weapons Weapon specialization/mastery from Rules...

Gamma World (Omega World) Four neophyte aspiring adventurers (a clever pure strain human with a rusty knife and a staff, a two-headed mutant human with telepathy who can project laser beams from his eyes, an eight-legged mutant dog with an oversized jaw and an enhanced sense of smell and a 9’...

As long as they are all being made of, it isnt an edition war ;)

This thread would be funnier and perhaps more apropos for a light hearted parody if you had the "right" characters for each edition. In my experience at least every 1e party had at least one ranger, so it should have 2. The 2e guys should have be kitted out and and have elves in the party...
