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!

Dauphin True Type Font
Deluxe Character Sheet in full color!
Character Sheet with grayscaled boxes
Character Backgrounds, an optional skills system.

A combined PDF of all the house rules I'll be using, with a table of contents!
Note: the "Character Cheat Sheets" in the table of contents refer to the Character Creation Cheat Sheets that can be downloaded separately, above. They are not included in the combined PDF for technical reasons
A Map of Domaria
A Gazetteer of Domaria
Cosmology
New Character Classes and Races
Psionic Powers (for use with the Psionicist character class in the above file. This file is identical to the psionic powers section of the Psionicist in the House Rules section.)
