I've gotten bored with the topic at this point, so: what Akrasia said, what tfoster said, and what national acrobat said. I'll always love WotC for opening up the OGL, but I don't enjoy new D&D much. No insult to those who play it - it just doesn't work for me personally. I won't go into the...

I never read unearthed arcana, but it sounds like that is the concept. Scadgrad's rules are "High" ruleset, fairly close to 3e with abilities and feats. They look very good, especially the combat side. I haven't really dug into them yet, but I will be very soon, since we're talking house...

Keep in mind that fairly soon your rogue will be a level or two higher than most other party members becuase they advance so much more quickly.

I had a suspicion I'd seen a frost worm before! My mind was starting to boggle from trying to remember which ones I'd seen before in 25 years of gaming. :)

This is interesting - I think there might be one extra refinement to the thought, though, looking back on my early gaming years. Might it be that (for a brand-new gamer learning cold) that it's easier to start *playing* a rules-lighter game (here I mean one like C&C or Savage Worlds), but...

An excellent point. You may have explained the odd results of the experiment. Mr. Dancey thought he was watching gamers, but saw only himself ... :)

Castles & Crusades is a fun game and I enjoy playing it... :D Where the heck is my sig line, btw... Oh, there it is. That was weird.

True about everyone feeling like a target. I mentioned JD and MoogleEmpMog because they frequently take the 3e side in debates about C&C on the OGL boards, so they're particularly familiar as the ones who don't make ad hominem attacks and are relatively objective. I think most people aren't...

"Rather do nothing than play" is good for a +3 sword of superiority. You've got to get up to the "poke in te eye with a sharp stick" region for a +4 vorpal sword of superiority, though. Nevertheless, you are hereby knighted into the Order of the Knights of Wrongfun, and recieve your sword...

Not for your post. Too fair. ;) You have to say that people who play C&C are playing the game wrong before you get the prestige class and the sword. Or pick any game, really. Rifts is a popular avenue to the Citadel of the Knights of Wrongfun. (That's how I got my wrongfun sword -...

Yes, I think people who bash on other systems deserve it - if I were bashing on D&D, you'd have a valid point. :) I don't know. Are you bashing on C&C? The posts I saw from you were along the lines of "some people prefer rules-lite, some people don't, and there's not an objective answer,"...

I think it's a prestige class, but it would be fun to figure out the feat chain... :D

:) There you go! You can now join the ranks of the Knights of Wrongfun and wield a +2 sword of superiority! :)

Wow, when I last left this thread it wasn't a festival of C&C bashing. Scadgrad, Akrasia, let the Knights of Wrongfun pontificate, and just ignore it. When you see someone state that changing a game by removing rules is subjective, but adding rules is objective, you've just got someone who's a...

Hey, Scadgrad, I think I extended the deadline to the 15th for the CCS Gazeteer, so we might pick up another submission or two. On my submission, I uploaded a map that looks like a 4 year old did it, and fixed the format for layout. I'm not ready to try and figure out how to do the house rules...

I have a review I'd like to post for Troll Lord Games' Castles & Crusades Monsters & Treasure. I can't create the product - it looks like only mods can do that now (?) Could I ask someone to create that product for me, if that's how it works?

I will try that - thanks!

I still can't make a review show up on the Reviews page, so I'm posting this here. I think if someone else creates the "product," I can then post it on the reviews page. Until then: Monsters and Treasures By Robert Doyel and Stephen Chenault 128 pages $19.99 Monsters & Treasures is the...

Well, in one sense, Mr. Dancey's comment doesn't need commentary - he's betting money on it and we'll see if his research was right in the sales numbers, which is the measure that he himself uses. I think it's odd to see people defending either rules-lite or rules-heavy in the context of D&D...

I have been thinking about houserules, since C&C is designed to have houserules built into it. I was grousing to myself that there's not a good compendium of houserules yet, and then thinking that reading one would be sort of a pain in the butt, and then I had the thought (it's a thought that...
