Castle Keepers Guide

I am perusing the 2nd printing of the Castle Keepers Guide, today.
So far the sections on magic staves/wands and expanded equipment lists have been of interest (a cool staff and a 4 oz. jar of honey are just what my Halfling Druid NPC needs!).

I am just about to read one of the last sections of the book on the mechanics of the Siege Engine (the main driving force of the Castles & Crusades ruleset), so that should prove to be very useful!

The whole book is great fun and filled with tons of info that could potentially be of use to both players and Castle Keepers alike! I am so glad I scored a copy. Currently, the Castle Keepers Guide is 50% OFF at the Troll Lords Games site.

Goblins of Mount Shadow - a low-level adventure for C&C

Next Sunday, I run the Castles & Crusades adventure: Goblins of Mount Shadow for my new roleplaying group :)

While the basic plot isn't too bad, there are a some minor issues I find with the adventure straight as written, so I am altering a few things to make it my own. That is the Castle Keeper's prerogative and I will exercise it .... hopefully a fun session will be had by all!

The goblinoids and dark fey creatures in this should keep my players' characters busy  ;)

P.S. This will be the first time that I have EVER used a published/pre-generated adventure module in my entire GM'ing career of over 40 years! Also, it will be the first time I have run a
Castles & Crusades game. Strange, huh?

Goodness From The Troll Lords!!!

On Friday I got my shipment from Troll Lord Games from their 7th printing of the Players Handbook Kickstarter (plus various & sundry other goodies that went along with it).

I prefer the "regular" cover over this alternate version, but the alternate evokes a bit of Old School nostalgia, so all is good :)

The text in this printing is much more legible than the 5th printing version I have, because they have a solid, light background behind the text, instead of the fake parchment-style background so many rule books foist upon us. Also, the font is slightly larger, which is great for old eyes like mine.

I am well pleased with this iteration!

It's official!   ;)

The Design Mechanism's Classic Fantasy

This came in the mail today :)
I was working on something similar a few years ago. I wonder how the feel of this d100 replication of classes & levels is? Hopefully I will be able to test drive the rules soon!
