Agree. That's why I don't understand the changes being made to the latest edition. They are trying to be like WotC and trying to conquer the gaming world. It's overly ambitious for what C&C is and has always been and I just can't see it paying off for them. If you haven't looked through the...

I don't see any mention of complexity being an issue... but you're absolutely right if that's the case. That said, the latest redesign does a pretty good job at making this game even more accessible... Also, not a VTT person myself, but would probably want to switch to Foundry, so that might be...

For me, I was disappointed in their combined A series Adventures in one hardback book. Finally, the perfect chance to fix all the issues (like an incorrect map), but they didn't.... :confused:

This is unfortunate since one of the major selling points was actually hiring an editor... Yeah, I've seen that too. In another place he was laughing about how much his current fans hate a lot of the changes, so they are very aware of the hill they want to die on, haha. Love them dearly, but...

Well of course, but I think it's a pretty safe place to start, especially considering the rules are free.

If you're not happy with how powerful PCs are, absolutely! Mastery of the rules and party coordination are a must just to squeak by multiple combats. After years of running 5E, I can't tell you how happy I was to finally see a party scrambling around trying to take down a monster that was...

If you have to play 5E though, I'd suggest: Limiting rests. I like the Middle Earth's rule where you can only Short Rest when in safe areas (i.e., not dungeons). Not rolling for stats, use point buy or array to keep them bounded. Only average HP on LevelUp. Never give out magic items that...

Honestly, just play a different game. Making OP characters with lots of powers and mowing down baddies is kind of the point of 5E. Take it from someone that had 10 pages of houserule notes and was still rolling my eyes at how easily my Lv12 mobs were being massacred. Pathfinder 2E would be the...

Agreed. It was my getting off point as well. Taking the core game to Lv20 knowing full well it plays best 1-12, distancing it from D&D (not needed since under Creative Commons, right?), and continuing to refuse to innovate even a tiny bit really makes the newer version a downgrade in every way...

Just picked this up myself: Plan on writing a small review here once I get a chance to read it!

My advice: 1) Attributes: Use one Target Number (TN): 15 Humans choose 3 Prime, 2 Secondary, and 1 Tertiary Attribute. Demi-Humans choose 2 Prime, 2 Secondary, 2 Tertiary. Bonus to rolls are: Prime (+3), Secondary (+0), Tertiary (-3) 2) Checks: CK should only ask for checks when they are...

This is, from my experience online, how 99.9% of C&C players do it. The other 0.1%? That would be the Troll Lords and why this rule will never change. :D

I do have to say though, the chap on the far right is one of the few D&D characters I've seen in recent memory that actually looks like he's been in a fight before. More of that please.

So thankful for posts like these that help me laugh while WotC drives my two favorite franchises off a cliff. This makes me want an officially licensed Castlevania TTRPG even more...

That sounds too fun. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to making this tomorrow.

Just got my hands on a copy of this game for cheap. Looks really different from what I usually run! Anyone here still playing? If so, have any tips for my first few games? Oh, and would running this game for just two characters work?

Just passing through here, and not sure if it's been mentioned already, but Zeb is part of the Gamer's4Harris group, for what that's worth...

Sounds like it! I haven't done anything with it yet, but plan to make a few Race as Classes in the near future. Is that what you used to generate your class here? As for the Second Edition, I only had the core book of ACKS, so getting this 1400 pg, full-color behemoth of a game has me pretty...

You mentioned ACKS. Have you looked at ACKS2 yet? I was blown away by the extensive Class/Race creation tools in the Judge's book.
