who else loves the C&C...?

[Phantos]

I recently discovered C&C.
It's like finding 1E all over again!

(except I am alot fatter, older, hairier and intoxicated...)

anybody else digging it?

 

[ghul]

Yes.

And yet somehow I'm balder and hairier at the same time. How can this be?

C&C rocks. Been a fan for a couple years now. (since it was released, whenever that was)

Bit of a pain trying to find guys that want to give up their 3e time to play some though. You want a game of C&C, you have to intro non-rpg people to it...they're not so set in their ways. That's been my experience anyway...either non-rpg people, or gamers who don't care about a character "build".

As they say: Welcome to the Crusade!

Considering I've written two books for it and am penning a third...!

I liked C&C too. Unfortunately I couldn't find or convince people to play it. And so when some financial difficulties came my way I sold the books.

I think the last line in my sig area tells you what I think of C&C.

I think you'll find that C&C is very popular on these boards.

 

[mhacdebhandia]

Since you asked, no!

It's not the kind of game I like.

ho ho

I don't know about very popular, but its popular enough to be rated one of the top 5 RPG company/games in ***** magazine. Meaning in an issue I don't know if it has been printed yet, so I don't want to prematurely say anything.

The number of letters should clue people into the right gaming magazine in which to look for the info, though. If its been published, or soon will be. I don't follow the mag, just saw something posted by someone who works there.

Yeah, I like it, and am now running my 2nd C&C PBEM, I've been getting into the C&C mindset, which was initially a bit of a problem. The breakthrough was seeing how another GM ran C&C*, which gave me a better feeling for class balance, how things fit together, and how the game is meant to be played - eg I now realise that in C&C it's important to start PCs at 1st level, which is already powerful (like 1e AD&D), whereas in B/X D&D 1st level is 'mook' level (the average soldier is already F1, C1s don't even get spells) and in 3e it's promising but still very vulnerable, so B/X and 3e both suit starting higher, perhaps 3rd. Likewise C&C is designed around a 1-12 progression, really, not 1-20, that's how the Siege Engine system works best, so converting from D&D you need to tweak the NPC level distribution at the high end.
