AD&D 3?? Perhaps some can help me find this

[Daern]

ad&d 3?? I am trying to recover a really neat PDF I found a while back. It was more or less the 3e rules but recreated with the all 1e AD&D art. Sort of a throw-back style layout with 3e rules.
I found it on a game designer's personal website, but I can't remember who... I'm thinking maybe Chris Perkins.
Anyways, I thought it was really cool, but I lost it in a hard-drive fiasco and I thought maybe the sages of the boards may know what I am talking about and direct me to it.

Cheers!

I believe that this is what you seek: Castles & Crusades

Your Google-fu is strong miscreationist!

wow, fast! and the man himself! I'm glad to find it again. btw, I really dig what you did with it, and I think a throw-back 4e edition would be super cool too.

Just so you know, I'm not THE Chris Perkins who works for WotC... I'm just a geek who happens to share his name.

Glad you enjoy my Castles & Crusades + D&D houserules!

oh, hmmm, well then, i guess you can't make a 4e throwback happen, but nevertheless, great job on those pdfs.

Hey,
Sorry for the 10 year thread necromancy, but I've completed (and streamlined) the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monstrous Manual for AD&D3. They are all available at: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Resources & Links Page

Great stuff! This is still one of the all time great retro-osr-clone projects. An obscure gem. I don't play it exactly but I've taken many an idea and enjoy browsing it.

Any particular tweaks you've made for these versions?

You only had to wait a year for it: so how did you like Essentials with its throwback Red Box?

I used it (Essentials) to run Temple of the Frog, can't throw much further back than that.
