Re: Rules that not in C&C. Could they be part of it?
I always though adapting the Skill and Weapon Mastery rules from the RC would make an interesting game.

Re: Aihrde is finally becoming real to me...
It's getting there for me. I love my old copy of the AWD folio but find the Codex a bit harder to read due mainly to font size...the eyes are not what they used to be these days....

Re: Dropping the Baggage
You're abut 4 years too late to get me in on the edition bashing thing, friend. What ARE you talking about? I simply gave my opinion. Quit projecting. I'm not projecting and using terms like 'Snowflake' pretty much puts you in the same camp as those that used terms like "Turd-Edition" &qu...

Re: I'm not Rhuvein anymore . .
The only big revelation ancestry gave me was that the only way to be more white was to be born in Europe. Seriously I am a catch all of Northern European DNA: England and NW Europe 58%, Scotland 24%, Germanic Europe 8%, Wales 4%

Re: Dropping the Baggage
Seriously I would actually consider the above AD&D 3rd over C&C as 3rd as C&C is more akin to the idea of a Gygaxian Second edition in my book. Well Gygax said C&C was his idea of what 3rd should have been... Probably as he had direct input and veto on rules ;) But in any case, the ...

Re: A bit of 'heresy'
I like it. Another idea I kicked around was making it a bit more like Earthdawn in that the Winter's Dark wasn't just Unklar and his empire but multiple evil entities that carved the world up and bringing in some pretty terrible things. What we see in the Cradle of the World was just one part of a w...

Nostalgia can become toxic. Very so I have found. Especially when you get into the 'things were better in my day' trap. Oh but they were better back in the day ... no rule bloat, no min making, no meta gaming, no murder hobos, just good fun role playing ... well there was the 2e splat books and com...

Re: What gives??? The Boards are Alive again???
I don't post as much as I did in the beginning (2005ish), mainly because a lot of the things have been discussed or answered (with variations). Now I just kind of hang around, keep the peace, and answer a few questions as I'm able. I visit the boards almost everyday though, so it is nice to see mor...

Re: How Many Scenarios?
Gamer ADD...I hate it. My only solution was to put everything but my C&C and campaign stuff away except for a couple books I wanted in the mix ( The 1e DMG for one and a couple reprints of some classic adventures). So now my entire collection of AD&D/D&D material are boxed up in an incon...

Re: Rules that not in C&C. Could they be part of it?
As is well-known around here, I loathe pretty much everything 5e, but as I recall, with advantage/disadvantage you simply roll 2d20 and take the better or worse result depending upon whether you have advantage or disadvantage. Other games, like Shadow of the Demon Lord, have adopted variations of t...

Re: A bit of 'heresy'
You know me, I'm not a HUGE fan of the thousand years of winter dark - no sunlight ice age. No plant or anima would ever survive that. Also, with the different societies (with different pantheons implied), so I'm all about changing the BtB setting/history. However, I think Unklar is a lie goes a st...

Re: Hey There...
NICE, One thing I dislike about Aihrde is the fact they have what 4 or 5 separate cultural feels to the peoples there but only 1 set of deities and the deities don't match the cultures, so I've always kicked around the idea of adding other pantheons. However, I never thought of using the codexes as...

A bit of 'heresy'
As I have been rereading the material I have had a few ideas that I may pursue. They mostly revolve around Unklar. Just for fun I thought I would share them: Unklar was a lie While the empire did exist and did so for a long time; the story of Unklar was a pure fabrication. Part legend and part rally...

Re: Rules that not in C&C. Could they be part of it?
A brief list of what I remember using in the past at various times that are not added spells or monsters:
D20 style attribute modifiers
Advantage/Disadvantage
Target Number system instead of SIEGE
Spell Points
I'm sure there's more but I cannot recall right now.

Re: Heavy Metal Sadness
It's still around though I don't know how good it is these days. As I mentioned before 2000 AD is back as well. I may check some local comic shops and see if I can get a better deal.
Incidentally the Netflix series Love, Death and Robots was rumored to have started as Heavy Metal 3.
