Message: <blockquote data-quote="Warunsun" data-source="post: 6290030" data-attributes="member: 6688054">My group recently switched from Dungeons & Dragons fourth edition to Castles & Crusades. So far it has been a huge hit with the players. So much so in fact my intention was only to run one of the campaigns I am Dungeon Mastering with C&C but the players of the other group asked to convert their 4E characters (the other campaign was a new one replacing a completed 4E game). In addition to purchasing several Castles & Crusades game books I have purchased the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game and the Adventures Dark and Deep Player's Manual. I could see myself playing any of these games but I could also just as simply play the original editions that BFRPG and ADaD are cloned from.Castles & Crusades is my favorite of the bunch because it is simpler and still has that first and second edition feel. I can also use any magic item from AD&D 1e/2e/3e and creature statistics & spells are very easily converted on the fly. C&C isn't perfect and does require a lot of DM adjudication but it is part of the approach used. The other issue is that the old school multi-classing rules seem to be an afterthought tacked on the book at the end. I wish they would rewrite this section and give it a better text and place it in the classes chapter. The old school multi-classing is one of the strongest selling features in my opinion of this system.</blockquote>
