D&D 5th Edition

[Zippee]

Crikey, C&C the RPG that made RM look fast play 

Well suited to the Harn background though

Kudos on twenty years of that - not many groups with that kind of hardccore endurance

C&S took an eternity to resolve combat IIRC. Unsuprisingly we quickly stopped playing, despite it seeming to be a good game.

We quickly found that while we liked the rules we needed to modify aspects of them to play how we liked. In the end our rules didn't look much like the original C&S rules

Yes we found our rules worked very well in Harn. While our gaming spanned 20 odd years there were long periods where we didn't play.

Of course the real importance is not the rules one used but the stories that remain in the memory.

As GM

Knight and land-holder Sir Bohuslav, who's successful prevention of the forces of Chaos attempted takeover of the Kingdom of Kaldor left him with bat-wing ears and x-ray vision (requiring lead wrap-around glasses to allow him to see the world around him) and a face so hideous several npcs had heart attacks and died on seeing him.

The hobbit thief who's skill at avoiding traps regularly lead to the party member following suffering serious injury and who's uncanny speed, ambidexterity and skill with a shuriken lead to the combat technique known to the party as "The Hobbit Snowstorm"

The complete failure of the male members of the group's attempt to browbeat the information required from those who had it contrasted with the success of the two female member's serial seduction of those who provided all of the clues required in pillow talk!

Dropping a giant granite block from the sky into the middle of the road with the words "You're going the wrong way!" chiselled on it. The players promptly announced that since none of their characters could read they were carrying on!!!

As player

My Cyberpunk character ( a "named solo" for Amnesty International, an organisation which now took rather more robust action to free those unjustly imprisoned) being hit by an anti-tank round and finding he was so borged up it bounced off!!

Playing Dragonquest, adding one to my Endurance (basically hit points) at the end of every session and surviving each successive session with one Endurance ... for almost two months of weekly sessions.

Our 5th level female warlock does the same thing, a couple of weeks ago we finally caught up with the main baddy but were so low on spells and hit points we let her talk to him.  She rolled a natural 20, which combined with a 20 charisma was enough for him to had over the loot and leave us alone, the fighters we not impressed.

Going to be seeing 5th Ed in action soon at the club. I'm a big fan of 3.5 (and AD&D 1st & 2nd I guess..nostalgia?)

Latterly, though, I've really got into Numenera, The Strange, The Cypher System (all Monte Cook) and Dragon Age / Fantasy Age - top-notch simple, streamlined, flavourful systems. I picked up the FFG The End of the World RPG line - they're *very* cool too...

Just bought the 5th Edition Starter set 'on impulse' from Waterstones after you lot were all on about it. (I got very bored waiting for hours for wife and daughters to finish shopping). So far, very impressed with lots of free on line back up material too.

Good job!

Nicely illustrated starter too, love some of the monster drawings. Even makes the owlbear look 'disturbingly cute'

The starter characters are good fun to play too!
