Thanks to the folks at WotC. As someone who used that site for character sheets over the last few years, I've gotta say that I'm really annoyed. Good luck sorting things out Ema.

If a poll were to clearly limit input to players of a particular version of D&D I'd respect that and steer clear of it. I didn't read the OP's post the way you did and figured that a "$0" vote was included to show a lack of interest in 4th edition (just as a "$0" vote on the 3rd edition/OGL...

I don't agree at all. These boards are for fans of D&D in general. Polls that gauge D&D players' interest level in a particular version of D&D should be open to all D&D players. As someone who loves D&D but has gotten sick of 3.X and has no interest in 4th edition, I feel it's important to...

Where's the love for Castles & Crusades? For me, no d20 game screams old-school D&D more than C&C. I totally understand that C&C, for whatever reason, is a niche market within a niche market BUT it'd be great to see the game get support from the folks at Necromancer Games. No matter what, you...

I just hope that the book is a cool as the original Deities & Demigods. If so, I'm all over it.

I'm right there with you. I can't wait for the 4th printing of the C&C PHB (I'm digging the look of the layout), the 3rd printing of M&T and the 1st printing of the Castle Keeper's Guide. Should be a good year for those of us looking to play C&C.

I've had this problem in the past, and am kinda going through it now. One player in our group insists on playing every character as a joke character... to the point where he creates "broken," often ineffectual, characters in order to point out flaws in the game. What's worse is that he...

I'm almost to the point of giving up on D&D too... which is kinda sad. 3.5, after 8+ years, has become a bit of a drag for me and 4th edition, after several sessions, did absolutely nothing for me. At this point I'm trying to convince some of my fellow geeks to play Castles & Crusades... and...

Actually... this sounds a lot like Pendragon. I don't think you were looking for a low-magic game where everyone plays knights BUT it fits the bill for a lot of your listed criteria. ;)

Really?!?!? :confused: I hope not. I guess that I've gotten used to playing C&C over the last few years. Actually, I think my group picked up on how to do things right away and found the game to be much less complicated and more flexible than 3.5. If we have a nitpick with how the game...

If you're used to DCs, then use those. The only issue with adding or subtracting from 15 comes with saving throws... and that one is REALLY easy to do on the fly. 15 + the level of caster (for spells) or effecting creature (for poisons, breath weapons, petrification, etc). Example: If a...

Hey Obryn, As I wrote before, set the CB at 15 and have primes give a +5 bonus. It makes the game run so much better. If you want to stick with the C&C CB, start at 18 and have primes give a +6 bonus... though I think that sets the bar a bit too high against the players.

To be honest, I LOVE C&C and, at this point, prefer it to any other version of D&D but, at first, had some trepidations about it. The game begs to be houseruled and cleaned up in lots o' places. As for you, Delta, I'd say give it a shot with the D&D 3.5 DCs in place of CBs and try to get used...

Hey Delta, I use a Challenge base of 15 for your average difficulty task. As such, when rolling a d20, you need to roll a 15 or better. If using a Prime attribute you get a +5 to that roll. You also add your level to the your roll, unless you are doing something not associated with your...

Ooops... double post. See below

Very true. My Saturday group is continuing our 3.5 Scarred Lands campaign. My Sunday group is about to start up a 3.5 Eberron or Forgotten Realms game and a Castles & Crusades game. For us 3.5/OGL gaming is the only option! I REALLY have high hopes for Pathfinder but, so far, have not been...

I know that I'm getting about a dozen books for D&D 3.5 this Christmas... so my wife and family are contributing towards any the possible "sales spike" in 3.X/OGL products. :)

Excellent idea! I'm sure this'll make those sticking with 3.5 happy.

I dig the Planescape eladrin (due, largely, to Tony Di Terlizzi's awesome art).

I'll admit to buying the Complete series of class books in order to have access to PrCs that would "ramp up" the power level of my PCs. It's funny because I NEVER liked prestige classes and felt that the designers should have developed a feat system that allowed characters to build their...
