Is the "C&S" that several people referred to, actually "Chivalry and Sorcery", or is it something I never heard of? (I was under the impression that Chivalry & Sorcery was a little-known ruleset whose last printing was years ago.) Steve Clark (...!princeton!siemens!steve)

Steve Clark (...!princeton!siemens!steve) /* End of text from ISM780:net.games.frp */ Little-known ruleset? Most referees I know consider it the Bible of FRP. (Yes I know they don't play by those rules.) Several add-on books have become available in the series, of which my favorite is one which deals with reptilian humanoids and their culture called something like Something and Saurans. I never read it though, but the referee of one campaign I played in used it to layout one region of play which contained Dinasaurs and primitive humanoids as well as some repitlemen which were truly nasty warriors. Another friend advocated playing a C&S campaign without the magic rules. We all thought the idea was great, but somehow it never got started. Bill Putnam

It was fairly well known & was reprinted in a new edition recently. The rules are very detailed -- the game is very much more `simulation' oriented than most other proprietry Pseudo-Medieval RPGs; character generation includes the birth-sign of the Person, for example, and whether its aspect was favourable, etc etc.... I don't know if you can still get hold of it, but I believe so. A C&S scenario was released recently (within a few months). - Russell -- ... mcvax!ukc!ubu!snow!req (req@warwick.UUCP) Striving to promote the interproduction of epimorphistic conformability ....

I'e been working on C&S II for some months now (trying to write LAND OF THE RISING SUN II, now that LRS I is out of print). C&S II is more confusingly organized than C&S I was. For some days I've been puzzled by a column on the EP Level Chart (section 10, volume I--page 50): "Experience Factor." Absolutely no explanation was given. I finally found the term defined in Volume III (page 59, section 21: NPC Profiles). It's also mentioned in the same volume (section 18.01, page 22: TARGETING) and defined differently! This is only one of a number of such instances. --Lee Gold
