[QUOTE="Rhuvein, post: 3613531, member: 31569"] Technically, we're D&D'ers who converted to C&C. I started my current group with the D&D Basic Game in 2004 and that introduction went very well. The players were mostly young (10-12 yrs.) and new to RPGs. But after the short adventure was over, my players and I checked out the 3.5 handbook, and they/me realized they were not quite ready for that level of gaming. At that time, TLG came out with the Castles & Crusades Boxed Set, which certainly caught my interest, since my intro to the game was the BD&D Holmes box. C&C suited me perfectly as a DM, and the players loved the quick and easy char gen and rule set. The SEIGE mechanic is easy to use but powerful, and applies to so many situations. As others have mentioned, prep time is minimal. 3 of my players still have their characters from D&D; yes Regdar, Jozan and Lidda are playing C&C!! :D As a player, I had a chance to play in a 3.5 Ravenloft game last year. It was quite enjoyable, but I don't think I'd ever enjoy DM'ing that edition of the game. :cool: [/QUOTE]
