Castles & Crusades Week

So just about a year ago I asked for some advice on Castles & Crusades.
The response was overwhelming and overwhelmingly positive. I went out and picked up everything I thought I needed for the game, then picked up some extra copies for my kids.

Since then I have gotten the chance to play some more and some really awesome books like Amazing Adventures and Codex Celtarum have been released. I have picked up more books including some adventures.  So I figured that there was a need for me to spend some quality time with these books.

I am going to posting some reviews and my thoughts from the last year of playing, reading and generally loving this game.

Stay tuned for more!

Codex Celtarium / Troll Lord Swag

I got my box of Troll Lord goodness today including the Codex Celtarum.

The timing is perfect since I have a bunch of things I want to do with C&C.  So look forward to some reviews this week.

Plays Well With Others: Amazing Adventures + Codex Celtarum

I am working on my review for the Castles & Crusades book Codex Celtarum (short version, I love it, I am so jealous I can't see straight, it is that brilliant!).  So I have been reading it and re-reading a bunch of my C&C books.  And it dawned on me.

Codex Celtarum is a "world book" so to speak for the C&C world.  It ads a Celt flavor to things, but most importantly it has rules for playing in a Fae inspired world.

Amazing Adventures is a Pulp Earth turned up to 11.

Since both are based on C&C they are 100% (or 95%) compatible with each other.  Here I thought I was going to gear up to play an awesome Celtic-infused game of Castles & Crusades, but I think now what would be 10x cooler is a Celtic/Fae soaked Amazing Adventures game!

Steal some ideas from Guardians of Order's Dreaming Cities and have a world where magic is real and everyone knows it and there are fae all over the place!

Yeah. This would be cool in the extreme.
Stay tuned for more on this.
