[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 3778019, member: 467"] After spending a good portion of the day reading the PHB and M&T, I have come away with a few impressions: 1) Troll Lord needs copy editors, and badly. 2) While they turned me off the first go around, I kind of like the whole Prime/Not Prime thing. 3) Ultimately, though, other than the benefit of being able to convince 1E haters/d20 lovers to give old skool gaminga go, I just don't se where C&C does things that I can't do with my 1E book, Role Aids supplements and, for new goodness, Dragonsfoot and OSRIC resources. That isn't really a dig on C&C -- I like it a lot more this time around -- but as I started to consider switching my 1E ToEE capaign to it, I kept coming up against the big "Why?" Maybe if I was distressed about the wonkiness of 1E's collection of subsystems, it'd be different, but I am not -- that's part of the charm, IMO. That isn't to say I won't try and run C&C with the "anti-1E" group, as it is the closest thing I am likely to get to running 1E with them, but all things being equal, I don't feel C&C offers anything that 1E doesn't. If I am missing something, or you think I am just plain wrong in that assessment, please feel free to share. [/QUOTE]
