[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4813426, member: 11821"] C&C might be your thing, if you're looking for a more modern game. The question is - Are you playing RC because it's a simpler and more free-form rule set than 3e/4e, or are you playing it because it's a classic game with all those special benefits that only an old school game can offer? Personally, I'd look at C&C as a modern, pared-down d20 game. It's not quite 3e, and it's not quite 1e. It's somewhere in-between, and the rules are sparse and simple enough that conversion from anything should be fairly easy, AFAICT. Also, there's a wide variety of support for it, if you look around. Speaking only for myself, it doesn't really scratch my old-school itch... For that, I turn to OSRIC/AD&D1e. :) For me, C&C reads and feels more like relatively charmless pseudo-old-school, and it just wasn't quite to my tastes. I can appreciate that it's fairly well-made, and that it could be perfect for people who aren't me. I, however, ended up giving my books away to a friend. (Also, I'm prepared to call the Keeper's Guide vaporware, at this point. :)) -O [/QUOTE]
