Highest emotion I ever witnessed was this: circa 1985. I was a 14 year-old DM with a group of four, all of whom were a year to three years older than me. Player A killed Player B's character. Player B, packed up his stuff, and left to walk home. I told him he didn't have to, that he could...

Mr. Gygax, you are indeed a cunning linguist, pond sides be damned! --Ghul :P

Hi Gary, Are you wiffling me? I said Ilf and not Wylf! :p I'm using the Essentials boxed set, but I do also have Lejendary Rules. Okay, so then Alfar are all Unordered avatars?... Back to the drawing board! ;) Love this system, BTW! Still think I want to make an Ilf enchanter of sorts...

LA Avatar Hello Gary, When rolling up a Lejendary Adventures avatar, can the "additional ability" (the one that starts at a score of 10) count towards those abilites required for Avatar Orders? For example, I rolled up an Ilf that I'd like to be in the Mage Order: 1st Ability: enchantment...

Heh. Where I come from, it goes like this: 40 copper commons = 10 silver nobles = 2 electrum luckies = 1 gold orb +++++++ 1 gold orb + 1 electrum lucky = 1 platinum plate. ++++++++++++++ For small change: 250 iron drabs = 50 brass bits = 5 bronze zees = 1 copper common --Ghul

If D&D came before LotR, then Gandalf would definately not be carrying a sword! :p --Ghul

Point taken and appreciated. And mayhap I will throw in a few crits here and there as time permits. I have been known to do so at Amazon, but those are fiction reviews and music reviews. But don't, my friend, discount the power, the fun, and the enjoyable hostility of the forum RANT! I'm...

Well said. I may get around to such a thing sooner or later. And let it be well understood that any criticism I have stated in regards to the critic in question are solely aimed at the criticism as written, not the author himself. I'm sure he's a fine fellow, and good RPGer, to boot. His...

So, in order for one to be recognized as a reputable criticiser of critics, one must himself first become a critic, thus drawing the ire of those who disagree with his critiques from time to time. It sounds like an interesting life of endless catch-22. Alas, I'm afraid I'm not very...

This review was terrible, IMO. While it is clear that the reviewer had a copy of the C&C Players Handbook in hand, it is even more abundantly clear that the reviewer has never played the game. The criticisms are often ill-founded, erroneous assumptions are sprinkled throughout, quotes are...

Customization of the C&C system is one of the aspects that has attracted me. Henry, your players don't have to feel limited by the lack of options in abilities. You could introduce feats. Feats may be used as replacements for character class abilities per the CK's approval. Or, you could...

So far I'm finding that 1e is the easisest to convert. 2e isn't hard, either, as long as you don't get inot the Skills & Powers/ Combat & Tactics stuff. But it's a hoot to crack open the old 1e modules and have them playable again. 3e gets a little tricky. It's the feats and prestige...

I bought the the Castles & Crusades Players Handbook and the Castles & Crusades Monsters and Treasure about two months ago. I've had a 25 year relationship with D&D and I've been running it through every edition they have published from the red box to present. I became somewhat dissillusioned...

Personally, I'd pee in his Corn Flakes. Not a lot, but just a little squirt when he wasn't looking. But that's just me. ;) --Ghul

I popped by my local FLGS in Londonderry, NH. At the Game Castle there were about six tables of gamers, each table about twelve feet long and hosting 1 DM + 6 to 8 players. There were old and young alike enjoying the game. It was a nice mix. I had my 3-year old with me, so I couldn't...

Man, I could picture it now. Watching out my window, awaiting the arrival none other than Gary Gygax for night of gaming a Mexican feasting. And here comes, EGG, pulling into your driveway, gets out of his car with a bottle of scotch in one hand and bag of books and dice in the other. I'd...

Thanks Gary, Okay, so the town of Yggsburgh is going to be developed block by block. Gotchya. So how about Yggsburgh's environs? Take the Bald Hills for example. Besides the Zagyg adventure references listed, there isn't a lot of detail, which is great, because it allows me to further...

Mr. Gygax, As we all (well, most of us) know, after you left T$R, there were a few environmental volumes released under the 1e banner. The Dungeoneer's Survival Guide and the Wilderness Survival Guide. One of the concepts that these volumes expanded on was the non-weapon proficiency, which...

Mr. Gygax, With the above words in mind, I have a nagging concern about my Yggsburgh soon-to-begin campaign. As you have mentioned in this and previous threads, you are overseeing the development of 19 freelancers working within the setting. I was wondering if you could let us know which...

Mr. Gygax, In the Castle Zagyg: Yggsburgh book, the knights of Yggsburgh are all classified as fighters of various levels. I was wondering why this is. Shouldn't they just be standard C&C knights? Also, I'd like to mention my Yggsburgh placement in Greyhawk. As you have helpfully suggested...
