Review of the C&C ruleset compared to other rulesets like D&D 5e and how to use use this ruleset to run a Theater of the Mind and a 5' grid style of game. Tips and tricks how to work with the tools for the DM and the players.

I assumed anyone watching this video already knows how to play C&C game and have used FGU previously with other rule systems.

I try not to go into too much depth in regards to creating a player character, NPC's, monsters, items, spells, and maps. Those topics will deserve their own separate video's. Please comment below any questions and request for further video's to be made.
