Re: R.I.P. Steve "bloodymage" Willet

He's gaming on a higher plane now. A good gamer gone too soon.

Re: Gary Con IX March 2017

As per the request of forum members, I've waited until we're closer to GaryCon to call for GMs. Now it's time for me to register the tournaments and my GMs. I need to submit a list of GMs to get them in free. I put out the call and have got a couple willing to run a few rounds. Putting the call out ...

Re: Gary Con IX March 2017

Event registration for GaryCon 9 begins September 10th, 2016. This is a call to action for C&C or 1st Edition AD&D GMs. I'm tournament coordinator for GaryCon 9. Run 3 tables for me and I'll get you in the convention for free. Run 5 tables and you'll get a GaryCon GM shirt and cup with drink...

Adventures should contain a variety of different encounters of different difficulties be they creatures, traps, puzzles, riddles, role playing situations like negotiations, unusual terrains, weather conditions, etc. Changing things up keeps players guessing which maintains interest and rekindles tha...

Re: Original C&C members database and Excel Spreadsheet

Upon reflecting on the many people who have been involved in the history of C&C and how that should be reflected in KOTC standings, I feel it's important to emphasize that for KOTC what people can and are willing to do to make it better is the deciding factor in how successful it will or won't b...

Re: Power Gamers & Rules Lawyers

In fact they're the majority with a significant percentage of the overall gaming society. As an advocate of balance between role playing and st...

Re: Gary Con IX March 2017

Yes, the C&C room would be more appropriately called the TLG room. The intent is to fill it with any/all TLG games we can, not just C&C! Sorry if I didn't clarify that, thought I had mentioned it earlier...

But good point! Definitely want everyone to know that.

Re: Message for all C&CS and KOTC members

We're dealing with a rules light old school gaming product and becoming involved with C&C means you're taking a different road. It's a tough gritty system. Clerics aren't Pathfinder healing batteries, you're not going to be having great cleave by 5th level, etc. It's what I like. The gamers I'v...

The C&CS has tried a few things before -- it had its own forums, its own chat area, its own "everything." It flopped, and [highly likely] that was my fault. There have always been passionate people to get involved and it is their backs that bear the Atlas. If following the footsteps o...

I'd hate to go to an event, and have someone at the table say I was the worst at something, even if I was. It sort of reminds me of those "360" reviews they do at some companies, which usually end up with a lot of hurt feelings. My suggestion would be to call out the outstanding things, p...
