BACK THIS PROJECT ON KICKSTARTER

With Iron Heel the World Grinds Away
Plunge into worlds of fantastic adventure where dragons lie and the undead stalk the shades of your mind’s imagines, where creatures of legend plunder wealth through the horror of their passage. Monsters grim and foul hold the ecstasy of gold and the renown of glory. Upon the backs of these stalk heroes of great might; those who take up sword and shield, who harness eldritch might, those who stalk the narrow corridors in search of sport and those who serve a purpose greater than all the others. Heroes. Freebooters. Mercenaries. Adventurers.

Beyond the comforts of home lie worlds of epic adventure.

A Game That is Yours to Command
Castles & Crusades is a fantasy role playing game with countless possibilities. The Players Handbook allows you take up the sword and shield, the staff or bow; to arm yourself as you desires and wander upon planes of your own imagining and plunder the wealth of adventure.

Designed for use with multiple players, Castles & Crusades puts you in charge of the adventure path. Included within are all the rules of play, how to get started in your very own role playing game, how to run the game and play in it.

It’s easy to learn attribute-based rules system allows players to choose among 13 archetypal character classes and 7 races to create their characters. Spells, equipment, fast-paced combat rules, and all essential information needed to play a game of Castles & Crusades is in this book.

Dice and Monsters & Treasure sold separately.

So what deferentiates this from the 4th printing? Is there going to be rules changes? Errata incorporated?

Cheers

I've bought the 1st, 2nd, and 4th printings. I could see the value in buying another printing if the color art goal is met.

Will there be any new goodies?

What they said. The new cover is keen, although the last cover was pretty keen, too. Errata being added makes this a lock to support, though.

We are moving to a full bleed cover and are eyeballing doing full color throughout on the whole book.

On the interior it will be largely minor typos and the like. We may do a more user friendly encumbrance system, but that is being debated. Beyond that the guts remain the same.

We are going to ramp up the bonus material on the kickstarter side of things. We are shooting hard for a full color. Peter's art is better in color than b/w so this will be a nice showcase, as well as give C&C a much more vibrant shelf appearance. Its the next level! (I have always hated that expression...we'll take it to the next level).

Thanks Whizbang! I'm enjoying watching this morph into full color! I'll start posting Peter's art as it comes through.

I don't know how much of a problem this is going to be, but...

As you may remember, I already own a lot of copies of the PH. (16 of them). So I am really not feeling any need to buy this printing UNLESS its going to be full color. So I have yet to support this.

So this has me wondering how many others are in the same boat as me, and if that number may be enough to keep this from getting close enough to the $10,000 goal to get those like me to put money into this.

What are your thoughts on this?

But we will see some errata being fixed? I always like that.
