If its in your gaming budget, you might check out the Pirates of the Spanish Main RPG that has recently been released. It uses the Savage Worlds ruleset, but it also has plenty of great ideas about campaigns and adventures and episodes and such.

I voted "Heard about it and bought a game", since I saw some guys (acquaintances at best) playing at lunch at school (grade school), and was very taken with what I saw. When I at Toys R Us at short time later and saw the AD&D books, I bought them (or that is to say, I convinced my grandmother to...

Why do you guys continue to feed the troll? You can't out-argue willful ignorance, so don't try. If someone doesn't want to believe that C&C is highly compatible with various editions of D&D, let them continue to be ignorant. Its been explained well enough in this thread and others. Practical...

I love Reaper minis. I just lack the time, skill and patience to paint. That makes these heaven sent for me. This is a nice set. Not the greatest ever, but not a ton of clunkers, either.

Its disingenuous posts like this that cause C&Cers to get defensive. Can you convert any edition of D&D to any other? Sure. Can you convert pretty much any one system to any other system? Of course. Does it take time? Yes. One thing I like (among many) about C&C is that conversion from any...

This might answer both your questions. ;) As for this.... I'll just say that I totally and utterly disagree with the statement. There are clear design differences between the editions that change the focus and feel, which changed not only how the game is played but how it is referenced...

There is another thread going about "what is old school?" (I guess there always is), but I think this sums up what I perceive the difference to be between new school and old school D&D very nicely.

I saw the post title, and thought exactly the same thing. C&C does a good job of integration more modern game design in with the feel of older school games, and it is really easy to convert any generation of D&D to it.

I tried at various points in the day, and only once made it past the cart to account creation, but that kept timing out. Ah well. :(

The thing that resonates the most for me about old school games is that the responsibility for decision and plot making was on the player, and the responsibility for rules and environment on the DM. It was more about puzzle solving and less about resource management. Players weren't entitled to...

I think (but I'm not 100% positive) that Troll Lord Games has plans to do this as well.

Eh. I don't know if I agree with that. Perhaps that is true of others, but not me or most of my group. I had stopped gaming for almost a decade, and 3rd edition brought me back into the fold. I tried to like it. I wanted to like it. Actually, it read great and I was impressed with what read to...

You can't really guarantee it (short of bringing on heavily artillery in the form of much higher level casters/soldiers, and most players will do almost anything to avoid imprisonment. I've managed to do it by having the authorities come and negotiate with the characters, asking them to please...

But then why uses classes at all? There are much more elegant mechanics to accomplish the same end.

Man, not even a good juicy rumor. :(

Hmm. The last month or so: The Wilderlands boxed set City State of the Invincible Overlord Lost City of Barakus Citadel of Fire Thieves Fortress of Babasomethingoranother Tarantis DCC 35: The Known World boxed set A slew of DCC modules AD&D 1E DD (my wife got me the one with Cthulhu &...

I do think - the way classes are used now, as repositories for abilities, rather than archetypes - they should be removed, and just exposed the abilities in trees or chains or whatever. The original point of classes was to have a distinct archetype, but when you're layering class upon class upon...

This is what worries me about the hobby and the future of it. Wizards is such a huge force in the industry, and so many game stores I've been carry almost exclusively 3x RPGs (if they carry RPGs at all anymore), that to a new-to-RPGer, it would definitely seem as if they're the only game in...

I'm a big fan of Over the Edge. Its a fun, edgy, oddball conspiracy game.

I would have said the same thing once upon a time, but the way the class system in 3x is used is ridiculous. Once upon a time the idea of a character's class was that it reflected their vocation - something they spent years (if not most of their youth) learning. Multiclassing was (typically, but...
