Judges Guild revival

[Soel]

Don't do C&C, but I suspect its not too hard to convert to 3.5, and the news of fan-conversions to other systems on their homepage is rather encouraging. Looks like some good news for fans of the Wilderlands.

Questions, if you can answer them, James. Will there be any development on areas outside the kown map (Demon Empires and Kingdom of Karak, etc?) Also, yeah, how much actual new stuff is gonna be in these products as opposed to updated stuff?

I have all the original Judges Guild stuff, and even the D20 version of Invincible Overlord. Still trying to track down Wilderlands...

But I don't play C&C.

Still, I wish you well- its a great setting!

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Grrrrrr! Double Post!

Side note- I just ordered Wilderlands and Lost City of Barakus from Amazon...

I may not buy the new stuff, but your post reminded me of something I had forgotten. Again, good luck...and thanks!

Not a C&C fan. I am thinking of letting my parents buy me WOHF for Christmas, but I am also curious. Will WOHA be worth converting to d20?

This is great news, in my opinion. The Wilderlands and C&C seem like natural partners, and this new product line can only help both JG/AG and TLG.

If I ever manage to run a C&C tabletop campaign again, it will almost definitely be set in the Wilderlands.

Yep, that is where I lost interest. C&C is not the game for me, no, not at all.

The Auld Grump

Thank you for that very constructive and insightful contribution.

Ditto.

Many people are happy with 3E. Heck, I'm still happy to play it. Of course I'll play any edition, or any game, if I'm convinced the GM and players are going to be fun to game with.

C&C is just an awesome alternative to those of us who are burned out on 3E. Auld Grump and 100's of thousands of others, if not millions, aren't tired of 3E and wanting something...easier. Great for them!

C&C is a great, fun, simpler system that "we who are burned out" have found to be "the" perfect alternative. Great for us!

If I wasn't "tired" of 3E I would not have switched to C&C. Probably. Maybe.

Since I am a huge fan of C&C the JG news is music to my ears!

It also sounds like there is another "group" of JG people who may be concentrating on doing a 3E version of this JG revival. If so the 3E people will have great news, and us C&C people will have two companies for us to choose material for our C&C games.

While I wish this product line to do well and I do like C&C, it has some major hurdles to cross. First off a new company with only one employee is going to release over 20 new products? TLG itself only barely manages to produce a few things every year. Second, Necromancer lost money on JG stuff. And most hardcore fans of JG have already bought the stuff that Necromancer put out. I did and I certainly won't be buying it again just because it's for C&C. Third, C&C is a small niche game- growing or not. JG fans who use C&C is a small niche of a small niche. Good luck. :\

AFAIK, NG will still be publishing Tegel Manor, and another company will be publishing d20 conversions of classic Judges Guild modules... though that announcement won't be for a few weeks yet (I can't say anything more than that, really, as I am not involved in that project). The paths of the two separate projects will not cross, at least, not as of this point...

Just to point out something to all the people who seem to forget that Castles & Crusades is an OGL game that is not THAT far removed from D20, and which can be translated there easily...especially if the new stuff has the same flavour/rules ratio as the older stuff.
