Welcome to my site celebrating Troll Lord Games' wonderful Castles and Crusades fantasy role playing game. This game is, in my opinion, what D&D 3rd edition should have been. It takes everything cool about earlier editions of the World's Most Popular Fantasy RPG, throws out the garbage, and then inserts a fast-playing, easy, and cohesive rules set on top of it. That's not to say it's perfect: I have yet to encounter a game that is. However, the beauty of C&C is that it is designed for use with house rules. This page will host my own rules, as well as links to other useful C&C sites. Enjoy, and return often!
