    Things I LIKE about Mongoose

    After Matt and Co. implemented the Sons of Cimmeria program after the less then spectacular release of Conan last year, I've got nothing but love for the 'goose. Any company that goes to such lengths to correct an error is tops in my book. Of course the quality of their BABYLON 5, CONAN, and...

    C&C house rules -- what are yours?

    That sums up C&C it in a nutshell, IMO. After a few sessions of The Keep on the Borderlands we've got a few more houserules: Movement is per third edition rules. The 30 ft. full/15. ft. half move isn't cutting it for us. ENC rating = STR attribute (thanks Akrasia :)) Initiative is per...

    30th Level Adventure in the next DUNGEON mag!

    I'm looking forward to it, mainly 'cause as a DM my brain tends to seize up around 15th-level or so. My players are talking about taking their Eberron characters to epic levels, so I'm grateful for any epic adventures that come along.

    [Castles and Crusades] The Encumbrance System has to Go.

    They do. According to TLG's errata, they carry 8 ENC worth of stuff, and if worn reduce their encumbrance by 1.

    Gamma World - Thoughts? Review?

    TPTB at White Wolf thought the were "silly", and were left out of the game for that reason.

    [Castles and Crusades] The Encumbrance System has to Go.

    I dunno. While I agree some encumbrance systems are a pain, I wouldn't go as far as to say "they never work." I'm also loathe to use GM fiat, mainly because with an established system the players know how much they can carry right off the bat - without me having to constantly remind them as...

    Gamma World - Thoughts? Review?

    Ditto here. GW d20, while a decent product, was too different from "old school" GW for my taste - Darwin's World on the other hand, gets the old vs. new mix right. Definitely worth a look.

    [Castles and Crusades] The Encumbrance System has to Go.

    I like it. STR = ENC makes MUCH more sense, IMO. <yoink!>

    Help me with my Castles & Crusades dilemma

    I voted for Greyhawk. I'm running C&C as an old-school Greyhawk campaign, and it's working very well. My players are enjoying the nostalgia, and the system makes conversion from 1st edition/2nd edition a snap.

    [Castles and Crusades] The Encumbrance System has to Go.

    I just finished running my guys through our first game of C&C - everyone LOVED it, with the exception of the encumbrance system. Under the current system, it seems that no matter how strong you are if you wear medium to heavy armor, carry a weapon and other *minimal* adventuring gear, you're...

    Dungeon #123 preview?

    Check out The Storm Lord's Keep from DUNGEON #93. It's a 3.0 adventure for levels 21-23.

    Dungeon #123 preview?

    According to Paizo's site #122 was mailed out on the 22nd, so it should start arriving in mailboxes shortly. Scuttlebutt on #123 is that it'll include The Quicksilver Hourglass - a 30th-level epic adventure. I'm definitely looking forward to that.

    Castles & Crusades - Assault on Blacktooth Ridge

    My copy arrived on my doorstep today. :) On a cursory examination, I like the adventure but hate the stat-blocks. Maybe it's the grognard in me talking, but I prefer a more "stat" heavy block (a la 1st/2nd ed) rather than the "narrative" blocks used in the adventure (and in the Yggsburgh...

    Do you game in Greyhawk?

    When I get my C&C game up and running I'm doin' the same thing. Seems to me C&C just begs to be run "old-school". :)

    Edition wars! Games other than D&D

    - I love Paranoia XP and I think Mongoose did a terrific job with it, but I love 2nd edition more. Don't know why, just do. - The first two editions of Gamma World are *vastly* superior to all subsequent editions, with 4th coming closest to the original two.
