Has anybody here played Castles & Crusades? C&C was recently released by Troll Lord Games. C&C is essentially a rules lite version of D&D v3.5. The idea with C&C is to have a contemporary rules set, but have the feel of 1st edition AD&D. In that I think C&C has succeeded.
One of the best aspects IMO is that C&C is DM (CK) friendly. The set up time is low compared to v3.5. The less time the DM has to set up, the more time there is to play, theoretically.
C&C is not exactly a stripped down version of the v3.5 rules. Many of the spells harken back to the original advanced fantasy RPG. Many of the mechanics of the game are open to CK (C&C version of DM). CK's again have dominance of the rules. Another great aspect of the game is that it is more flexible then v3.5 and is open to much customization (again, like AD&D).
If you are looking for modern version of AD&D 1st edition, I encourage you to check out Castles & Crusades.
I'm eagerly awaiting to start a face-to-face C&C campaign.
The Campaign setting for C&C is soon to be released (March 2005). It's called Castle Zygyg and is written by EGG himself. I'm looking forward to this book as well.
