All Rights Reserved. We offer this book as an ode to the years of fun in game and play and to the creative might and best of friendships bound within the very person of E. Gary Gygax, for whom none of what came before, nor any that must come after, would be possible. Thank you Gary. † ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS n the immortal days of our youth we found high adventure and fought many a campaign against all manner of villainy and evil. We slew dragons, Ibrought down corrupt tyrants, explored uncharted territories and freed the world of grotesque creatures of mythical proportions. We were heroes on a crusade. These youthful adventures were brought to us by Gary Gygax through the medium of role play and the fantastic game that made it all possible. We bring you our own game now, one that we hope captures those early days of grand quests and exploration. The Castles & Crusades role playing game pulls on those early experiences and makes them real again. First and foremost, we would like to thank E. Gary Gygax for sharing his wonderful vision with the rest of us. Without it, none would have followed. Our hats are off to you good sir. It is impossible to thank every person who has helped see this project through and ensure that it was finally completed. The Troll Lords are personally indebted to a great many members of the Castles and Crusades Society for such unflagging support and help over the past year. There are no words which can suffice to express our heartfelt appreciation. So let us just say Thank You!

All of my games combine intense interaction between the players and myself with quick-moving, heart-stopping Icombats. These many moments, actions, and interactions must be woven together over a night’s play through exciting storytelling and player involvement. When the tale is woven tightly, emotions are awakened, creating unforgettable moods. This is where “roll playing” and “role playing” meet, and the result is an electrifying evening of gaming. Capturing a mood is difficult. It is a challenge to create the intricate interplay between a bartender who is bought and paid for by a thieves guild and a character seeking to pry information from him. The task involves descriptive text, acting, accents, and a great number of things. The sounds of sword clashing upon shield, of flesh and bone grinding against metal, all this against a background of a field awash in blood and combat are demanding to capture in narrative. How does one help players imagine the sound of a bow creaking as the arrow is drawn back? How does one make them fear that sound? The tale in the game must cascade over the players, engulfing them in a wash of emotions: fear, rage, courage, elation. Once you’ve captured everyone’s emotions, the game becomes pure fun, like a good movie – one where you forget you’re in a theater. The core of any game’s philosophy has to have the goal of creating and capturing a mood charged with excitement. Anything that detracts from that objective detracts from the game. How does one capture that mood? Foremost, the rules guiding game play must be easily understood. Ideally, the basic rules of the game should be easily grasped within about fifteen minutes. A player should be able to sit down with another player, create a character, and have the basics of the game explained to them in just that time. As a foundation, the rules must be kept simple and logical, easy to comprehend and easy to enact. Expanding the game comes later, much like adding stories to a building. Start with a firm, square foundation and everything else follows. The game must be adaptable as well. Gamers are diverse people, all with different imaginations, different tastes, and different desires. They all want to play a game that suits their tastes. Those playing should be able to add, discard, and change rules and ideas to fit their needs without worrying about the effects those changes have on the workings of the rest of the game. There should only be a few hard and fast rules. Everything else is extra. The main impediment to these objectives is an overabundance of rules. A glut of rules unnecessarily restricts the flow of the story, and even worse, the flow of the game. Rules do serve a purpose in that they codify actions and reactions during game play. However, rules can also impede the imagination. They can reduce the element of uncertainty and the emotions that come with it. They can describe too much and thus hinder the capacity for narrative development for all participants. At its worst, codifying too much into game rules reduces emotion and mood. This misses the goal of capturing the emotions of the participants, and thus you’ve lost the heart of the game! An efficient and concise set of rules allows for easy play and adaptability and is a necessary ingredient. A rules-light, adaptable game naturally engenders a gaming environment where one is bound only by imagination. When so unleashed, one can act without restraint to create a gaming environment that is fun for all. That is the core philosophy of this game just as it is the core philosophy of the original game. At its heart, it was intended to be a fun game to play and this game adheres to the same philosophy. Castles & Crusades is neither a realistic game nor a simulation but a fantasy game where imagination rules.

  • Gary's Clarifications
    Gary’s Clarifications When I saw the Zagyg’s Wisdom super-thread on Dragonsfoot, I thought what a great idea it was to have a section where Gary answered questions about D&D and offered clarifications and interpretations about the game he created. And if he isn’t around to answer more questions, at least we can benefit from what people asked him when they had the chance. Reading through the thread, it occurred to me that all these clarifications could be gathered up into a single document for easier reference, sorted by category. Steve at Dragonsfoot liked the idea, so I got started…and found that sorting them wasn’t as neat and easy as I’d expected. I’ve had to make a lot of judgement calls: for instance, should a question about true neutral clerics go under Classes or Alignment? So I apologize if the organization of this document seems a little haphazard, but I’ve done what I could with it. There are a very few posts from one category that I copied into another, but for the most part I tried to make a single choice and hope it was the right one. I’ve included some categories that aren’t exactly D&D or that wouldn’t be relevant to every campaign (Greyhawk, for example), but they’re in their own sections so they can be ignored by those not interested. These “related” sections are generally unsorted, as they didn't lend themselves as well to discrete categories. In the interest of keeping it short, I generally removed people’s greeting remarks (“Hi Gary,” etc.), though I left in whatever Gary said in case it should be helpful in assessing his “gut feel” reaction to the question.
