This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Pretty interesting little blurb on their main site this morning...

QuoteGencon. This August. 15 Years.

So in the midst of all the echoes that are the battles of Codex Nordica and Three Sisters Kickstarters and the coming battle with Amazing Adventures we are looking across the wide field at Gencon. This is going to be a special Gencon by any account. It was 15 years ago this August that TLG debuted her signature line of adventures and campaign setting. It was Ten years ago, this August, that TLG debuted the white box for Castles & Crusades.

Its something to celebrate! And celebrate we will. Its high time the white box received a companion.

It would be really cool to see some sort of "companion" boxed set. I'll be adding this to my Gen Con list to check out, for sure.

I'm looking forward to it as well. I love C&C and this would look spiffy next to my numbered "Spartain 300" C&C white box! :)

I'll think about buying a Troll Lord product again when they decide to sell to someone other then the Acaeum market.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

I don't follow. Do you mean collectors? I get plenty of utility out of my C&C books, and they're pretty good about having sales to clear out old stock or as specials on core books or key sourcebooks. I never really saw them as just selling to a certain crowd.

The prices for normal stuff are high, the collector prices (all the KS only never to be seen again stuff) are insane.

EDIT: Rofl, brain fart, I was thinking of Frog God, nevermind, carry on. :D

Oh, I didn’t think it was that bad. They usually have some pretty good (up to 50%) sales over the course of the year, and some scratch n’ dent sales, too. I managed to score printings of the books back in the day that way for half off. I just learned to wait and watch. The pdfs are expensive, IMO—that’s definitely something I wish they’d change (though they’re having a sale right now). To each their own, though.

LOL, no worries! I was a bit confused. Agree on Frog God. :)

I'm curious to see what they're coming out with. I've played quite a bit of C&C but for some reason the opportunity to pick up the core books keeps eluding me.
