CASTLES & CRUSADESWHERE ROLLPLAYING AND ROLE PLAYING MEETrun my games fairly consistently. All of my games combine intense interaction between the players and myself with quick-moving, heart-stopping combats.These many moments, actions, and interactions must be woven together over a night’s play through exciting storytelling and player involvement. When theItale is woven tightly, emotions are awakened, creating unforgettable moods. This is where “roll playing” and “roleplaying” meet, and the result is an electrifyingevening of gaming.Capturing a mood is difficult. It is a challenge to create the intricate interplay between a bartender who is bought and paid for by a thieves guild and a characterseeking to pry information from him. The task involves descriptive text, acting, accents and a great number of things. The sounds of sword clashing upon shield,of flesh and bone grinding against metal, all this against a background of a field awash in blood and combat are all demanding to capture in narrative. How doesone help players imagine the sound of a bow creaking as the arrow is drawn back? How does one make them fear that sound? The tale in the game must cascadeover the players, engulfing them in a wash of emotions: fear, rage, courage, elation. Once you’ve captured everyone’s emotions, the game is won! At that point,the game is pure fun, like a good movie – one where you forget you’re in a theater.The core of any game’s philosophy has to have the goal of creating and capturing a mood charged with excitement. Anything that detracts from that objectivedetracts from the game. How does one capture that mood? Foremost, the rules guiding game play must be easily understood. Ideally, the basic rules of the gameshould be easily grasped within about fifteen minutes. A player should be able to sit down with another player, create a character, and have the basics of the gameexplained to them in just that time. As a foundation, the rules must be kept simple and logical, easy to comprehend and easy to enact. Expanding the game comeslater, much like adding stories to a building. Start with a firm, square foundation and everything else follows.The game must be adaptable as well. Gamers are diverse people, all with different imaginations, different tastes, and different desires. They all want to play agame that suits their tastes. Those playing should be able to add, discard, and change rules and ideas to fit their needs without worrying about the effects thosechanges have on the workings of the rest of the game. There should only be a few hard and fast rules. Everything else is extra.The main impediment to these objectives is an overabundance of rules. A glut of rules unnecessarily restricts the flow of the story, and even worse, the flowof the game. Rules do serve a purpose—they codify actions and reactions during game play. However, rules can also impede the imagination. They can reducethe element of uncertainty and the emotions that come with it. They can describe too much, and thus hinder the capacity for narrative development for allparticipants. At its worst, codifying too much into game rules reduces emotion and mood. This misses the goal of capturing the emotions of the participants, andthen, you’ve lost the heart of the game! An efficient and concise set of rules allows an ease of play and adaptability, and is a necessary ingredient.A rules-light, adaptable game naturally engenders a gaming environment where one is bound only by imagination. When so unleashed, one can act withoutrestraint to create a gaming environment that is fun for all. That is the core of this game’s philosophy. That was the core of the original game. At its heart, it wasintended to be a fun game to play and this game adheres to the same philosophy. Castles & Crusades is not a realistic-simulation game! Castles & Crusades is afantasy game where imagination rules.2
QUICK START RULESCREATING THE CHARACTERith the exception of the Castle Keeper, each person playing Castles &Crusades creates a character to use during the game. To create thisWcharacter, the player begins by simply imagining the type of character he or sheATTRIBUTESAttributes represent a character’s physical and mental traits.desires to play, be it a wandering barbarian, reclusive wizard, travelling dwarf,noble elf, a dastardly villain or virtuous knight. The player begins by generatingattribute scores with dice rolls. Attribute scores define the character’s physical andmental traits. Next, the player chooses a class, or profession, for the character thatbest fits how the character is imagined. In the same manner, the player chooses arace which best fits both the persona and class desired. Lastly, the player fills in thedetails: examples include technical game-related aspects of the character, such ascombat bonuses, as well as the character’s persona and history. These steps areoutlined below and detailed in their appropriate sections.All characters in Castles & Crusades have six attributes:Strength (Str)Intelligence (Int)Dexterity (Dex)Wisdom (Wis)Constitution (Con)Charisma (Cha)Each attribute has a numeric score ranging from 3 to 18. Each attribute score alsohas a corresponding modifier, which is a bonus or penalty added to or subtractedfrom certain die rolls during the game as detailed throughout the rules.IMAGINE A CHARACTER: Decide, in a general manner, the type ofcharacter desired. Is the character a noble dwarf fighter, a haggard half-orcbarbarian, or a disdainful elf knight? Literature, film, theater and comicbooks are rife with examples of heroes and villains that players can drawupon for inspiration for their characters. Yet, as the creator of your owncharacter, you can build upon these examples to create complex villainousmontages or even more profoundly heroic and noble characters. Stretch yourimagination! Create the character as you imagine him or her to be. In theend, imagination is the only limit when creating a persona.There are two types of attributes: primary and secondary. Of the six attributeseach character has, the player selects a few to be primary attributes. Theremaining attributes are secondary. The distinction is important whendetermining the outcome of many actions in Castles & Crusades. When acharacter uses a class ability, such as a rogue attempting to pick a fat giant’spocket or a ranger tracking a brigand through a dark forest, an attribute checkis rolled to determine if the action is successful. Each class ability has anattribute check associated with it. If the class ability’s associated attribute isone of the character’s primary attributes, the character has a greater chance ofsuccessfully performing the task. The same principle holds true for the otheraspects of the game in which an attribute check is required.ROLL ATTRIBUTES: Each character has six attributes, generated by rollingdice. The attributes are: strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence,wisdom and charisma. Each attribute has an impact on the game and cansignificantly influence class selection. After rolling the dice to generate thesescores, you can choose how those scores are placed. Naturally, it is importantto place the scores in a manner that reflects your character concept, desiredclass and desired race.Attribute checks are explained in greater detail later (see The CastleKeeper and the Game - Attributes and the Game). For now, just rememberthat the selection of primary and secondary attributes significantly affectsthe possibility of success for many actions in the game. Attribute checksassociated with a primary attribute are significantly more likely to succeedthan those actions performed with a secondary attribute.CHOOSE A CLASS: A class is a basic concept upon which the characteris modelled. This is one of the more difficult aspects of character creationbecause each class represents an archetype found in literature, film or withinroleplaying games themselves. Each class should be very broadly interpreted.It is possible to have wildly diverse characters that are members of the sameclass. Classes should be considered examples or technical extrapolations ofarchetypes that provide a broad representation for the type of characterdesired. This is necessary in order to accommodate the needs of the playerand the setting where the character’s adventures occur.THE SIX ATTRIBUTESSTRENGTH: This attribute reflects physical strength, including the ability to lift ormove heavy objects and make powerful attacks. The modifier affects melee combatand damage, and all checks for which strength is the primary influence. Characterscan military press 10x their strength and dead lift 15x their strength score.DEXTERITY: This attribute represents a character’s reflexes, manualEach of the thirteen classes has unique abilities and specialized areas ofknowledge:dexterity and hand-eye coordination, including the ability to dodge anddefend against attacks. The modif
