    D&D Books That Don't Really Get Used

    Let's see. D&D books I don't use... hmmm.... Well, recently (last 3 years or so) all of them. Still own them, and look at them for ideas now and then, for whatever reasons I might have at the time, but I don't "use" them. When I actually played D&D.... I didn't ever use PsiHB, DMG, MM, MMII...

    Castles & Crusades - Who interested in a PBEM?

    Only if I can play a Paragon Curst Were-Mimic Half-Illithid Half-Black Pudding Kobold Illusionist/Shadowdancer/Oozemaster. Otherwise... I'd be bored. ;) Hehe. Actually, I'll think about it. Not sure yet.

    Power Curve in C&C vs. D&D

    If, by power level, you mean "do the characters accumulate more power" then yes, it is linear, with the spellcasting classes growing exponentially as they gain access to more powerful spells, often, ones that outright kill or do so potentially. Against foes of lesser status, characters become...

    Is the Illusionist Dead?

    While true in principle, the fact is different. In fact, it was not even Vecna that did the killing, but some sort of Undead (Vampire, or Zombie, something...) using the Hand of Vecna. The use of the Time Stop spell is an inescapable situation, and indicates poor design... but, the designer does...

    Is the Illusionist Dead?

    As always, the selection of the Illusionist, as a single class character, requires a far more intelligent and capable player, than say... an evoker, simply because one must understand how the spells work, and how to best manipulate them, because they often do not give direct control limits...

    Atlantis: Second Age (The Arcanum of old)

    Arcanum Hey, Erica, did you ever get those Astrology spells I converted up? Or, did you never get them in the first place? Sorry, been rather busy working on C&C stuff to go surfing around much. But, to be on topic-- Arcanum is a beautiful game, jam-packed with tasty tidbits of useful...

    C&C house rules -- what are yours?

    C&C House Rules Most of my house rules at the moment consist of conversions of 1E and Arcanum materials, plus a ton score of Monsters. I do also have a wide variety of spells and magic items. Since I typically run games in a homebrew half-port of Ravenloft, I also make use of various...

    I got to playtest Castles and Crusades!

    No. To both. Gary is involved with the design process, but he is not the designer. The Trolls are. All the playtesters are also involved with the design, but finalization is in the hands of Steve, Davis, and Mac. Castle Zagyg is written with C&C stats, and may be dual-statted with LA, but...

    I got to playtest Castles and Crusades!

    C&C First, some seem to not understand something... C&C is not d20 lite, and it is not AD&D lite. It is a game derived from the OGL, in the attempt to emulate the playing style of 1E. Does it have its own complexities? Yes. It has to. 3E and 1E have their own, as well. C&C was designed, in...
