[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3740123, member: 10177"] Which is another reason why I like playing C&C as well as CKing it. In 3E everyone pretty much followed the rules, IE pretty much ran the same game, unless they used their own setting and adventures, still, mechanics wise, their game was the same as everyone elses. In C&C I am again rediscovering the courtesy of playing in someone elses's game and keeping my "DM mouth shut", but most importantly, and the most fun thing to me, is seeing how the CK uses their creativity to adjudicate different game situtations, their house rules, etc... Which in turn strongly encourages "group participation" in deciding on such rules for our group will work. Which in turn inspires me with all the new ideas created and discussed. There are advantages to having a completely unified rules set for everyone to use and follow, but with C&C we use the core mechanic (which, so far, keeps everything recognizable to new players who know the SIEGE mechanic) and then customize the game in how we interpret the SIEGE mechanic and what rules we write up or take from other RPG's. So I guess I enjoy the dynamic creativity that C&C allows for in the mechanics themselves rather than just the original setting, adventure, or customized PrC or feats. Not to mention how easy it is for me to not only use material from all the editions of D&D books I own, but from other systems as well. Such as Savage Worlds, EPICrpg, and Paladium, to name a few. So, for me, and apaprently a significant number of TLG boards posters, C&C is pretty much gaming Nirvanna. We play how we want to. [/QUOTE]
