[QUOTE="BluSponge, post: 70265, member: 916"] Nope. I own the 3rd edition cores Highlander came out with and have seen some of the old 1st ed stuff. I made a few characters -- that was enough for me. I didn't care much for character creation -- which says a lot as I loved Dangerous Journeys and all its warts. But where the core system in DJ was very simple, C&S's skill system was a lot like 3e, with specific rules and situational modifiers for every skill. It also didn't help that when the screen came out it was barely readable. OTOH, I LOVE the GM's Companion. Its one of my indespensibles, right up there with the 1st ed DMG and the DJ cores. Everything on social status, feudal campaign management, ranks and titles, fortifications, etc. Never hurts to have those details in a reference on hand. I also use the codes of chivalry therein for my own game. I haven't seen the LATEST edition, though I'd love to get my hands on the elf and dwarf books. The knights book sounded good too. But if the GM's material is comperable to the Highlander Press books, then its a crime that every DM doesn't own a copy for their own reference. 90% of the material in the GMs book is statistical and designed more for reference and information than for rules, so there's nothing to stop you from using it in your DnD campaign (it works for my LA game just fine). And you're right -- it can definately help put the "medieval" flavor back in DnD. I'll say it again: EVERY DM should own a copy of the GM's book for C&S! Tom [/QUOTE]
