LotFP represents something more closely resembling OD&D, while C&C is more like a hybrid of 1st Edition AD&D and 3.0-3.5 Edition. I might try to run LotFP for my first campaign, then move to C&C after the end game of my LotFP game. Of course, all of this depends on me actually succeeding in my return to gaming/GMing! I have a lot of reading, planning, writing, gamer finding, etc. ahead of me before I can actually get these campaigns I keep referring to going ;-)Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096473056453931834.post-89738243475086551442010-07-23T10:39:56.901-04:002010-07-23T10:39:56.901-04:00Initially, I think it could be a problem, but ulti...Initially, I think it could be a problem, but ultimately I think it's a benefit. I would much rather have a variety of games and systems that I can choose from (and draw from) for running my game than to only have a few systems. The more ideas that get thrown into the mix, the more ideas I have to work with to make the game exactly what I and my players want. Paralysis by analysis is possible, but eventually you just have to pick a game (or two) and start designing and playing. <br /><br />Your game may not appeal to the majority of the gaming population, but who really cares? It's your game. Whatever system you choose to run will eventually get house-ruled and tweaked to fit all the people at the table anyway, so why worry about it?<br /><br />I don't even really see the choice between C&C and LotFP as a real one. Use the C&C core if it works for you mechanically and add the stuff you like from LotFP. Simmer, covered, for fifteen game sessions, tweaking occasionally. If the players don't like it, let them cook something up.Robert Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345468894311108269noreply@blogger.com
