[QUOTE="Midknightsun, post: 3613112, member: 46459"] I picked up C&C after dealing with high level d20 characters that were beginning to give me a headache, besides being nigh invulnerable, it starts to feel like I'm taking my work home with me. (I still like it, but the system can get pretty heavy at high levels). Combats started to take far too long. I was thinking of delving into something that didn't take up so much of my free time to set up, with combats that don't drag on forever. I looked through it, and found it interesting. The system is simple, but does require a not inconsiderable amount of DM arbitration on the fly. I can see how that may be good in some situations, and not so good in others. Its definitely DM friendly, but I don't think that implies that its intended to allow the DM to "Rule mercilessly over his players". That's just nonsense. I certainly wouldn't mind playing in such a campaign if it was offered, but part of me seems to like the fine granularity if 3.5 . . . . just wish it didn't become such a bugger at high levels. Of course, I'm a gaming slut, so I'll pretty much try just about any system . . . .at least once. Maybe more if someone springs for the Mountain Dew and Doritos :p [/QUOTE]
