Castles & Crusades Players Handbook #7

Created by Stephen Chenault

You’ll find with C&C that the game is easy to play, but more importantly is its versatility. You can take your house rules and drop them right on top of the C&C mechanic (the Siege Engine) and keep on playing. You are in control. Take the advantage/disadvantage system from 5E and use it with C&C. There’s nothing stopping you. What’s even better, because the whole game is driven by attribute checks that have only loose guidelines, the game master chooses what attribute check the player rolls. If they want the wizard to swim better, make the character roll an intelligence check to swim the river. It’s your game. Take it.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

C&C Of Gods and Monsters Update
over 5 years ago – Wed, Sep 12, 2018 at 04:07:04 PM

Greetings from the Dens,

Okay, its been a long time, but as we noted when we did the 7th printing C&C Kickstaretr the book Of Gods and Monsters was no where on the docket. Well it NOW IS! Work has begun. The new cover is underway (Peter Bradley artist) and the interior is being updated. Essentially the updates will see a stat block for each god that mimics the deity stat block in The Players Guide to Aihrde. Text will also be updated, giving more on the mythology of each god. As this takes shape in the coming weeks we'll keep you posted.

In other news: we are launching a Castles & Crusades Collector's Digest and Box set Kickstarter in the next 36 hours. We invite you to head on over and take a look at the preview page. Feel free to comment on that page, there should be a space for that. We want to make sure we have it right. It's going to be a lot of fun!

C&C Players Handbook #7 Update (Gods & Monsters Edition)
over 5 years ago – Fri, Aug 17, 2018 at 04:48:15 PM

Greetings from the Dens!

As many of you know, we offered a 2nd edition of Jim Ward's classic Castles & Crusades book Of Gods & Monsters, as a stretch reward for the Players Handbook 7th Printing Kickstarter. As noted during the Kickstarter, this book was not at all on the docket, beyond some pre-planning and conceptual changes that I wanted to make on it, and it was going to be some time before I got to it. There were many other projects already on my desk that needed my attention, most notably The Adventurers Backpack and Tome of the Unclean. With that knowledge, you all have waited very patiently. Thank you for that!

Now, both of those books are completed and off my desk and my attention turns now to Of Gods & Monsters. I've had several talks with Steve Ege and welcomed his design input. I will continue that in the near future and settle on the changes I want to make and get this project rolling.  I have a larger vision for it now and I think that will pay off.

In the meantime, please don't miss out on our latest Kickstarter. We are bringing the world of Aihrde to the greater role playing world, offering up a 5th Edition version the Players Guide to it. The project has already funded and is deep into the stretch reward territory. Head over and help us out (unlike Of Gods & Monsters, this one is ready for editing and layout).

Final 4 days to expand your Monsters!
about 6 years ago – Fri, Feb 09, 2018 at 01:47:22 PM

Greetings from the Dens!

We are entering our final few days for the M&T Kickstarter! Only four days left...

Check it out HERE!

And we want to get YOU on board. We want you to be as excited about this book and project as we are.

Monsters Unleashed!

For every $500 we raise from this point going forward (starting at $20,000), we will take one monster from the Monsters & Treasure and design and write an encounter for it. We'll compile these into a PDF and release a digital version to everyone at the $19 level and above. If there are enough of them, we'll print it and ship it with your book for those who pledge $49 and above! Each encounter will be 1-2 pages long, include lead-up to, events surrounding, the monster and its peculiar habits, treasure and experience point value.

Unsurpassed!

But that's not all! If you've pledged $75 or more we are going to invite you to send in a monster of your own design! This monster, once accepted, will appear in the Binder and be available to all who have pledged at that level and above. This is your chance to make the game a little bit more, your game!

It's time to Join the Fray! Plunge into the melee and prove that Castles & Crusades is, as it always has been, the Original.

Greetings from the Dens!

Though this Players Handbook Kickstarter is closed and shipped, we do want to bother you a little and invite you to join us on the soft open for the C&C Monsters & Treasure, 5th printing.

This is the companion book to the Players Handbook you already purchased, and will contain a mountain of other material from other books. Read all about it on the kickstarter itself. But be sure to pledge today, as anyone who pledges on the soft open receives all kinds of Trollish Treasure!
