Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

That is one HEAVY boxed set! I have yet to sit down and read through it. I Want to, but too many things on my plate. Heck, I haven't even been proof reading Victorious.SmokestackJones wrote:Death and Taxes by Lesser Gnome. Gotta review it for THAC0's Hammer.

Thanks for sharing this, TheMetal1 and Tree!
EDIT: Forgot to ask, what version is better/easier to use with C&C: Swords & Wizardry or Pathfinder? I'd lean towards S&W myself (less bloat) but wanted to hear this group's answers.
Thanks again!

I'm hoping to get through Savage Worlds Deluxe today. Then, I need to spend some time with the Amazing Adventures books I bought in the sale a few weeks back.

Clavis' Ghastly Affair ~ it's fabulous. Excellent writing, presentation of the gothic atmosphere of the times and tremendous detail (not necessarily gameplay) to help GMs run the game.
I also like Mike Stewart's Victorious, but have only looked at the Quickstart. I hope to read the full version tomorrow.
Love this time period and hope to run or play in a game.

Thats something I've been noticing about Victorious and Ghastly affair, as well as a few other PRG's I own for that "period", roughly. Great cross over potential with the Cthulhu mythos.Rhuvein wrote:Clavis' Ghastly Affair ~ it's fabulous.

Re: What gaming stuff are you reading?
Reading the D&D version of the Kingdoms of Kalamar. I needed some background info on the setting.
Re: What gaming stuff are you reading?
Do you mean the 2E era version, or their 3E version? Either way, I think the setting info is pretty much the same. Just they give a lot more with their 3E explosion.maximus wrote:Reading the D&D version of the Kingdoms of Kalamar. I needed some background info on the setting.

Re: What gaming stuff are you reading?
I got the 3E version. I remember seeing it when it first came out years ago, but don't recall much about the setting. I figured it might be good to get some intel on the world for our game. $ 11.99/including shipping; maps were included. Not a bad deal.Treebore wrote:Do you mean the 2E era version, or their 3E version? Either way, I think the setting info is pretty much the same.

Oh, its an awesome setting book! I was just curious since you've mentioned having a storage box of your old gaming stuff.

My RPG Collection in digital format. Namely, the file folders and such as I try to trim it to a size that will fit the SD card on my new tablet. I prefer dead tree versions of my gaming collection, but it's nice having the digital versions for reading on the go, etc. I guess it's not so much "reading" in the "taking it in" sense as much as the "seek, move, organize" fashion, but... it's a technicality until I get the folders and files looking the way I want for quick finding and reading.

Mebbe we'll get Aergraith to GM!
However it turns out, Tree - you are invited to join the game. I know you were a play tester, so hopefully it will still be fun to play in this game.
