I tried to play RPGs using the first (Red, knight charging dragon on cover) edition waaay back in the day. Perhaps it was the depth of detail that made me buy it. I read it more like a resource for ideas and gave up trying to play any games with it….

Yeah – I bought the 1st edition at first sight (lots of charts and formulas – at that stage of my life, the more charts and tables the better!). We rolled up a lot of characters and worked through some sample potion-making stuff but I don't think we ever actually played.

Thanks for the notice.

Just finished downloading it.

I have the old C&S redbook somewhere, and even bought the little cards to be able to run man-on-man melees, though not sure where they're at, at the moment.

I look forward to checking out the Knight's Companion book too. I never could find a copy of it, and it went OOP rather quickly, and rarely surfaces for sale, at any price.

I'm the same, read and flipped through it a bit, but never played it.

Would still like to find a really good, tactically interesting, and yet reasonably speedy set of rules for medieval combat with swords, maces, flails, hammers, etc.

C&S was a marvelous sourcebook but not very user friendly as a game. I think a lot of us read it but never really played it.

Definitely did not want to play any sort of magician in it!

From the "More Charts = More Realistic" school – or at least it was.

A votre service mon ami!. (smile)

Crikey!

Still around, still being enhanced, and free!

I'm downloading it, lying to myself about having time to read it. I'm happy to see it out there all the same.
