This has led me to situations where I want to run S&W or C&C and then before we know it we've added in skills and feats, and I'm wondering why we don't just play Pathfinder....or the reverse, where I'm running a crunch heavy system that doesn't scale back well at all like 4E, and find its lack of flexibility is equally problematic.<br /><br />So for your returning group why now S&W Complete? I have to check out Crypts & Things, though. I keep hearing good things about it. My understanding was C&T was further from D&D in the conventional sense, more aimed at sword & sorcery with the Tolkien surgically removed.Doctor Futurityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586371999646337047noreply@blogger.com
