Re: Latest printing of CKG?

I might be wrong but I think that the fourth printing is identical to 3rd printing, they just ran out of stock so made more. DMSamuel clarified the changes for me: "Layout and art changes... the 4th printing has a TON of new art, including representations of each foritification type, represent...

Re: What gaming stuff are you reading?

Pendragon 6e Starter Set. I have made a character using the start of the book so far. Next up will be the solo adventure to get used to the sytem etc. I have always liked the idea of Pendragon, and even tried it back in the day (I think it was the 3ed or maybe 4ed version). However, the group I was...

Re: Permanency & Con saving throw

I do have a little more free time than I used to, as I don't have people I have to take care of anymore as a second job. So if the Trolls ever need me I'm game, schedule and personal time permitting.

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know there's been support logs ongoing for a few days with the host providers about the forums continually going down. They have hopefully fixed this now, but if it happens again, please bear with us while we continue to talk to them about it.

Thanks.

Hey all. The Trolls looked into the issues causing the forums to go down. They think it is sorted, but thdy had to use a database backup to do so, so there may be a few missing posts. I'm Not sure how many.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.
