I want to try Castles & Crusades. What hacks are out there for it?

You can try my extensive houserules, which I call AD&D 3rd edition as they are an homage to that game: LINK

They flesh out C&C a bit (more spells, plus background skills are included) and are more in line with AD&D/3.X than C&C was (the racial abilities are better balanced and the classes are more in line with their AD&D/3.X counterparts).

You'll be happy to see unified XP charts but will still see Vancian magic. An easy way around this is to allow all spellcasters to cast unlimited numbers of 0-level spells and change cure minor wounds so that it stops bleeding and stabilizes dying characters rather than restore 1 hit point.

Just a note here to rave about cperkins' AD&D3.

This is a real gem right there. Dowload it and have a look! Who knows? You might find the D&D middle ground you always wanted.

In any case, kudos Chris for the hard work, and for sharing its fruits with us!
