This last one, C&C Reforged, was kind of just the last straw. Not because it's so incredibly different, but because every change that was made made the game worse than previous editions. Compounded with multiple disappointing purchases the last couple years ("A" Series Box Sets and Gods & Legends), I just burnt out.Anyways, changes. The things that have bothered me:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Core game goes from 12 to 20 now. C&C plays best at lower levels, so I found this material better suited for the CKG as Optional content.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">D&D Divorce. I play C&C specifically to replace AD&D. Changing and removing AD&D spells, items, creatures, etc. is nothing I'm thrilled about.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">New art. Not a fan. I felt the old art had a more cohesive AD&D tone. Now it's all over the place.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Spell format change: I think everyone hates the new format (on right) compared to the old (left)...</li> </ul>[ATTACH=full]384999[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]385000[/ATTACH]<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Assassin moved. No longer with the other classes. Moved to the Multi-class section to "hide him from parents pursuing the book?" (explanation given on Discord).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Too many monsters. I preferred the slimmed down Monster & Treasure book with just the core AD&D creatures. They've since bloated it with all their own creations, and I'm just not a fan of any of it.</li> </ul>Besides the changes though, I think the fact this was marketed as "C&C Reforged!" expectations were high, especially since there are so much quality competition out there right now. I think most of us wish the Trolls well, but are quite happy with our old books.</blockquote>
