The Ballista Adventures Kickstarter has entered it's final week. What is it? Ballista is a new line of adventures and gaming material published by Arcana Creations. The books in this series are all about providing a basic, rules-light, gaming experience making it easy to get into and...

At first I had little interest in 4th Edition save for a bit of curiosity. However, I think that with a proposed Tome of Horrors and some sort of advanced player's guide are the two things that will make the purchase of the 4th Edition core set a viable option. Thanks and good luck! M

Castles & Crusades is a fine game which can certainly stand on its own two feet. Some people will liken aspects of it to D&D 3.x ... others to AD&D. Then again, a lot of people who do so are coming from those games -- it's only natural. However, I'm left pondering Valiant's statement: Open...

Why not? I don't see how *certain* elements from Grim Tales couldn't fit into C&C easily. I would say it has more to do with how one may want to do it and what elements chosen. However, if he wants to go the 'classless' route, my suggestion would be to take certain elements he likes from C&C...

I find this thread a bit fascinating but I agree that lack of concise definitions will invariably make a mess of things. However, I do feel that both D&D 3.x and C&C have succeeded in improving and growing from the roots of AD&D (albeit in different ways). Both utilize a rule set which is...

I've abstained from replying for a few days since I was trying to think long and hard how to approach my reply. Nothing bad though... just a longer post. First off, I love my RPGs ... I've tried a great many of them over the years and I got my start in the very late 80's with AD&D (2nd Edition...

I don't plan on running it... I have no idea if I'll ever even play it. At this point, I don't run 3.x either since I grew tired of various aspects of the rule set from a DM's point of view. I have no problem playing in certain 3.x games though. That being said, I may still buy the 4th Ed...

Well, I guess it does depend how you go about it or what material you're using. Trying to throw a bunch of characters from other editions together for a C&C adventure is one thing. Those examples given are certainly not typical run-of-the-mill so ... yes... it would take work just like...

Well, because C&C is hardly original and since it seeks to emulate AD&D with some of the perks of a unified d20 system, it's only natural that this is what is frequently said. Maybe some might consider that to be its greatest failing as a system. Of course, you can port an older edition module...

I agree with you Dragonhelm and I think a lot of the problems end up being reactionary in nature and a bit too defensive. I know I have been critical about WOTC's direction with D&D in the past, but since I've picked up C&C, I've *still* buy and maybe I buy even more of the d20 material that...
