Alea Iacta Est - The die is cast!

Upon Foundations of Stone
Beneath the walls and towers of adventure, beneath the ground upon which the adventurer treads, lies the foundation. It is that which holds the construct, which drives the challenges, which brings the flavor of a world’s imaginings to light. It is the maelstrom of creation through whose eye the game of heroic chance plays out.

What Lies Within
The Castle Keeper’s Guide includes a host of new material for the role playing enthusiast. From world creation, to dungeon designs, managing non-player characters, character attributes at high levels, spell use and cost, equipment -- its use and wastage -- the tumult of storms, from warfare to combat, monsters, treasure, death and more. The Castle Keeper’s Guide provides the CK and the Player with a host of new tools for their use; tools designed to enhance play, not hinder it; designed to be malleable from gaming table to gaming table.

A sample of what you will find in the CKG:

Alternative methods of attribute generation
The featured classes expanded to the 24th level
Equipment: outfitting for a setting, saving throws, usage, costs
Expansion on the Magic with components, spell costs, holy symbols, water, and more
The NPC: how to run them, hire them, loyalty and more
Monsters and Magic as NPCs
The Crusade in the future: guns, cannons and more
The World Above: overview of outdoor campaigns
The World Below: overview of underground campaigns
The Characters, gaining levels, land and more treasure
The Siege Engine, breaking it down for your table
Character death. The end should not be the end

And so very much more . . . .

The CKG is the perfect expansion to everyone’s table.

NOTE: The electronic version of the CKG comes with a lifetime's worth of FREE updates. Anytime we update the file, with corrections, modifications, or erratta we'll send you an updated file. If there is a 2nd printing, your purchase today allows you a FREE updated file.

It is often said that Castles & Crusades is the Rosetta Stone of Old School Gaming. It certainly is that, but there is a lot more going on here than just that. Castles & Crusades is very much a stripped down version of the basic 3.x SRD. As such there [...]

Someone has to say it: this is the game that D&D should always have been. If Monte Cooke and associates want a blueprint to follow, they could do no better than look at what C&C has been doing to solve various problems of rolegaming's past. This book i [...]

A very long time in the coming, but worth the wait. This is an exhaustive tome covering an incredible amount of material, from expanding classes, equipment, and dealing with such things as hirelings and so on. The real beauty in this book is that it is ju [...]

If you want to tweak your C&C game, look no further than this book. Basically the Castle Keepers Guide takes a toolkit approach to modifying the Siege Engine. Much of the optional rules re-introduce elements of the full 3.x SRD, but the real beauty of the [...]
