<t>I'm planning on using this adventure to kick off my C&C Aventurien game, which hopefully will begin near Halloween. It's the first adventure in a four-part series, only three of which are currently available in pdf form.<br/> <br/> The premise is pretty cool: a powerful, wisdom-seeking wizard...

I guess that you don't need both, but if you play in Erde (Aihrde) then it I'm sure that it comes in handy. It's no different than the old Monstrous Compendiums from 2nd Edition which were world spe...

<t>I've only seen a three-page excerpt of Tomb of Horrors on the Wizards site, but it's not a straight-up conversion of the original module into 4th Edition stats. I've thought about picking it up when it's released in a couple of weeks to maybe run some of it for Halloween.<br/> <br/> All of the ar...
I played 4E at GenCon 2008 RPGA open tournament. It was a blast but very very cumbersome, of the four five people at the table we kept forgetting abilities. It reminded me of playing battletech. It seemed to me that it was geared heavily towards a miniature tactical game than a roleplaying game. We...

<t>Yeah, I haven't played D6 Star Wars in years, but one of my players just goes on and on about it at the table. He and I are the only two of us who have actually played.

I am confused. Beer seems like the right course of action.
Then you will definitely want to play C&C as opposed to OSRIC/AD&D, as all of those subsystems and the descending armor class just gets even more confusing, beer after beer.
