    The C&C poll

    The above seems like an overbroad and pretty unfair generalization of the things that make people want to play C&C. Certainly not applicable to anyone I have ever met who plays the game. You must know different folks...

    The C&C poll

    Obviously, and I realize that you note this in your post, that is not really the way to sell C&C. When I talk to others about C&C, its about the ability to "pick up and play without learning lots of rules", "not being limited by concrete feats and skill selections but by the limits of your...

    The C&C poll

    For me, I enjoy the fact that the rules don't get in the way of the roleplaying/storytelling and seem to be designed to emphasize that element of the game. I realize that 3.5 is no less of a roleplaying fantasy game but the rules are so extensive that, as a practical matter, if you want to keep...

    The C&C poll

    I like C&C and enjoy visiting the Troll Lords forums - they have built a nice community of users who are, on the whole, a solid group of folks. Yes, there are a few zealots who come off overly bombastic and preachy, but what group doesn't have its share of "those guys"? As for the game, again...

    Reaper starter kits - worth it?

    Yeah...I've just never found one that is really that comprehensive. Maybe that is just my google-fu or maybe I am just looking for something that doesn't exist. In either event, thanks for the help...much appreciated friend. :D

    Reaper starter kits - worth it?

    And the instruction manual...any thoughts on it? Basically, I am looking for an alternative to the Games Workshop book (How to Paint Citadel Miniatures) which I personally did not find particularly helpful. Thanks again, -M

    Reaper starter kits - worth it?

    Basically, the title says it all. Are the Reaper mini starter kits worth it? I know a lot of people have posted links to some great online resources, but what I am really looking for is a good how-to guide from start to finish (using basic techniques obviously) that I'll have in one place...

    HBO's Rome

    I think so (just my opinion). I feel like there were enough characters and story threads that you could go back and re-watch the series looking for a slightly different angle. Also, as others have remarked, the series is definitely more graphic and more "street" than a typical movie/television...

    Required Pre-3.5 FR Gaming Materials

    Thanks for the reply. I apologize in that I should have been much clearer. I am referring to pre 3.0/3.5 material. AD&D material more accurately. I love the books you have mentioned though, so that is a good sign... :D

    Required Pre-3.5 FR Gaming Materials

    Hi folks. I picked up D&D again w/ 3.5 which means that I missed a lot of the pre-3.5 FR stuff. I am now trying to assemble as much material as I can that will give me "flavor"...crunch is pretty irrelevant. If you were putting together a mandatory list of things to get from E-bay, WoTC...

    Artist Needed for Web Logo

    I am looking for an artist who could do (for lack of a better term) a web logo for the home page of a campaign website. This would be the banner image that you see across the top of the home page. The campaign is set in the FR. Honestly, as I have never paid for art, I am not sure what...

    HBO's Rome

    Ditto. I loved every second of it. And I think the boxed set is now out (as of the last few days in the US). If not already, they are at least advertising its release on television so it must be soon.

    Best pre-3.0/3.5 FR Products

    I essentially missed out on all of 2E FR stuff. I play 3.5, but am looking to compile all the good 2E stuff that I missed and that is still available (either as a free download from WoTC or as a PDF from RPGNow or some other vendor). I am especially interested in things that are flavor heavy...

    Romance & Relationships, redux (now empty)

    I think the difference lies in the context in which they were posted. If you post a picture of a female ENWorlder hanging out at the ENWorld booth at GenCon, no big deal. In all likelihood, the person at issue does not consider her presence at GenCon part of her private life and does not care...
