You really do have a gift for these historical yarns.

Are the C & S notations gaming stats?

[crankyoldgoat]

yes - roughly about the same time as TSR produced AD&D, there was also a rule set known as Chivalry & Sorcery from Fantasy Games Unlimited.

It is may understanding that some folks involved in the C&S rules were also involved in the Society for Creative Anachronsm. Seeking far more to create a simulation of medieval europe.

I always found C&S more satisfying than AD&D, especially in the way the rules handled magic.

plus, in C&S, I CAN be an 800 pound sauriod Raptor in chain mail with a two handed sword.....

Mr. Rittenhouse, who also looks in at times on my journal will remember the C&S red book well as he introduced me to it via his Memnisonian campaign.

Yes, I most certainly do and I agree with the G-man in regard to how good C&S is!

[crankyoldgoat]

g-man?

dang it, they aren't supposed to know I work for the government!

[zaapiel]

Very nicely done, sir. These things are really in your wheel house.

[crankyoldgoat]

nobody there steering, so plenty of room.

more to come, rather you like it or not.
