I have to agree with DuckScape on this one...CtD v.1 was enjoyable for me until my DK (Duckling Keeper) decided cygnets were superior to ducklings because of the latest sourcebooks and completely changed the focus of the game.

I think your DK should have talk with you guys before altering the focus of an ongoing duckling hunt like that. IMHO that's just bad DKing. Like all games that have been around for awhile, CtD: 1st started to suffer from power creep. It's true though, that a lot of the later source books were just broken. But Revised is gonna be a chance to correct balancing issues and whatnot. Who knows, you might even end up loving to capture cygnets (they'll probably end up revising the A Swan's Story source book eventually, so I'm sure the cygnets will be back).

Yeah, but, they're going to have to completely overhaul goslings to make them a player capturer race. They're perfect in the Mallard Manual, just leave them there. I had a player once who I let play a gosling. Broken! I mean, he had the shiniest feathers AND he would swim and fly faster than the regular ducks. He was capturing 2 or 3 ducklings for every normal duck.

No your right, I probably just wasn't clear enough. They are gonna be in the Mallard Manual (from what I read at least), along with their parental guardians, Geese (who supposedly will no longer be player options, but just rivals). Personally I don't see why you'd want to capture goslings if you can't be a Goose, but house ruling fixes all : ), so I'm happy to just wait and see what they come up with.

Catch ya l8rs!

The first module they release is suppose to be in the same vein as the old DQ series. I think it's gonna be called Empty Brooder at Dusk or something like that...not sure though.

You know Barn Cats are gonna be back too! Talk about making your players sweat heh heh heh.

Oh quit the whining :) It's still only a rumor and even if goslings do get a write-up, just ignore em if don't like em. It's still CtD, just expand. Yea!

Hey! hey! It's about time someone started a CtD post. I heard that they were gonna update my all time favorite campaign setting, Waterfowl Migration for CtD: Revised.

I also read that goslings might be introduced at some point as well, which is fine with me. Capturing ducklings is great, don't get me wrong, but it's about time the game stopped being focused solely on ducklings. Now I know most groups have been house ruling the gosling since 1st Edition and the write-ups on the Duck Limited Boards were pretty good, but it's still gonna be nice to finally see an official gosling write up.

Quack ya laters,

Oh yeah, why in the world should Wood Ducks on par with Mandarin ducks?! That's just crazy. Moving the Muscovys into the Mallard Manual seems like a bad move too. I say the more options the players have the better. Oh well, house rulin them is shouldn't be too hard, sucks though. And lumping spiders in with insects is indeed crazy. >:P
