I do have C&C PHB and the boxed set and love them, the play is fast and after character creation we seldom even reference the book.My guess is that one of the main differences would be in the characters. C&C classes are strong archtypes. Fighters are fighters, wizards are wizards.The wizard doesn't pick up a sword, the fighter doesn't track the orcs back to thier lair, Each class has its own set of abilities. In Blue Rose(d20) through skills and feats, the line between classes blurs. If you played older editions of the game, C&C has the same feel  but with much smoother mechanics. Blue Rose keeps many of the ideas of 3rd edition and streamlines them.My suggestion is that if your looking for a rules lite d20 game give Blue Rose a try, If your looking for an modern version of AD&D/BD&D go with C&C.</blockquote>
