As mentioned above, C&C is easy to house rule and you should feel free to do so if something doesn't fit your play style. However, while you're giving it some thought there are a few things that might help. While C&C magic is designed to be deadly at all levels of play, casters have some rather...

As far as basic D&D goes I liked Mentzer a lot more anyway. :)

I'll cast my vote for Castles & Crusades. It's about as easy as anything you can get with a powerful game engine and it plays just like the old school editions of D&D. You can find out more below: http://www.trolllord.com/index.htm Whatever you go with, happy gaming! :)

I'm afraid you're not using correct terminology actually...or not using terminology correctly as the case may be. Outdated and obsolete both mean that a product has been replaced by something better and that the old product is no longer of any use (or not still in use). This describes the model...

Krieg, like many, you're reading those statements wrong. As Akrasia pointed out they were directed at players for the most part. However, the phb does indeed have all you need to get started on your campaigns. The ads don't say it's everything you'll ever need...just all you need to get started...

Ah I did mean to address the omission of multiclassing rules. I personally agree that such rules are necessary to a class based rpg so I agree that the lack of such rules hurt. But, having said that, the three reasons the Trolls left them out are a) they weren't quite right and were taking a...

I don't want to get into any system wars because I honestly don't care who likes what edition of which game but I do want to correct something I've seen pop up here a few times. The C&C phb is not, nor was it intended to be, a nostalgia game. Nostalgia is defined as: A bittersweet longing for...

Particle_Man, your idea has been posted in the CKG forum along with your name (screen and real) in case there is any credit to give. Thanks for letting me post it. I really think that's something which should go in the CKG. :)

That's an interesting house rule for attribute modifiers. Have you thought about joining the C&CS so you can get in on the CKG talks? If nothing else I'd run over to the TLG boards and post that...assuming you don't mind the Trolls throwing it into the CKG if they choose. ;) As for weight...

I'll be living in the Richmond, VA area myself in a few months. ;) As for multiclassing rules the following are my house rules. They're based on the last playtest version of C&C but I tinkered with them to fix certain problems and came up with something that more matches my playstyle. My group...

The reason C&C doesn't make each attribute point different (11 to a 12 for example) is for simplicity. I'm not saying the Alternity system was a lot more complex but it was more complex and C&C is trying to trim the fat so to speak. Keep in mind that also only applies to bonuses. In a way, each...

Ok that one works. :) First off we have polymorph from the 3.5 SRD: Polymorph Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Willing living creature touched Duration: 1 min./level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell...

Whoops....righteous might wasn't carried over to C&C I'm afraid. Perhaps it would be a little easier if you just gave me a small list of the spells which annoy you most and I'll pick one and post both the 3e version from the SRD and the C&C version. That way you don't have to keep guessing and I...

So post a 3e spell you want to see the C&C version of and, as promised, I'll help you with your questions. ;)

Thanks for the binding information Davis, and sorry to everyone for passing out the wrong (at least I assume) information. But, my point still stands, the binding is the best I've seen in a rpg book in years. :)

I've heard that the phb is saddle stiched but, honestly, beyond that I don't have the knowledge to back it up. One of the playtesters passed this information around (not the Trolls, so if it's not accurate don't give them grief) and it's a source I trust which is the best I can do really. Well...

I actually found that 3e made good DMs pull out their hair and bad DMs just changed what they didn't like and were still bad DMs, but that's just my experience and, as Akrasia says, that's all that counts when talking about how "good" your game of choice is. ;) So, of course, C&C isn't going to...

When I played 3e I liked the "epic level blurb" in the back of the, then new, Forgotten Realms hardback. It was simple enough, changed just enough mechanics to make things interesting but left most of the core systems the same so you didn't have to relearn the game at level 21. ;) As for a C&C...

From what I know the boxed sets that are to be shipped will be more cleaned up but I can't really confirm that. And I've no idea on the shipping regarding either I'm afraid...I'm waiting for all of my orders too. ;) The idea behind level being added to attribute checks isn't a bad one if you...

Thanks guys, I was on the way to drop that information. :) So it seems all non-combat rolls will indeed fall under the 12/18 mechanic and there are considerations for why level is added to attribute checks. Mac has also mentioned that characters making non-class checks (like a fighter trying...
