Vakhund: Travel south into the goblin kingdoms is always fraught with danger. So many will go only as far as the Baron’s outpost, the Vakhund, the Tower of the Dog, and reside there in safety while merchants and others fare their way further down the road. But what happens when the Vakhund is attacked by goblins, orcs and bandits? A princess is kidnapped and only a dangerous trip into the dark-infested goblin kingdoms will reveal the answer.

This looks interesting! Should we roll up characters here or elsewhere, or just post interest and concepts?

Agree. Looks interesting. Would the stater set for a resource work for this game?

You can easily use the 7th printing PDF from Drivethru. It's pay what you want and the only differences are the layout and some color scheme stuff. The mechanics are exactly the same.

Castles & Crusades 7th Printing

I would also like to have at least 4 players in order to start making characters, however, if you like, you can start making a character on your own, and perhaps find a character sheet that can be used here on Gamer's Plane.

I will be using Method II:
Method Two: Roll 4d6. Discard the lowest-scoring die and total the remaining three. Do this for each of the six attributes. Once the six scores are generated, each score is assigned to an attribute of the player’s choice.

Maximum Hit Points

Maximum Starting gold to purchase equipment.

Ooh, cushy! I’ll at least start thinking about it, and hopefully we can get a couple or a few more people in here.

Not worried about the money. I have Starter Set (Character Creation 1st Printing, Directing The Game 1st Printing, & Into The Dark 1st Printing) in PDF. Also, the free one (Actually did pay $1 for it) 7th printing of Castles and Crusades handbook.

Don't see the game available, so I don't know what character sheets and such is going to be used. Kinda important. Rather build up a character on the game's sheets and not have to transfer data for having the wrong character sheet.

Well, I don't know how to make a character sheet on here. If we get some more interest, I'll set up a channel for each character.

@umbralgragon: My suggestion is when you setup the game, simply make the character sheets for it 'custom' and deal with the mess of odd sheets. With a game set up, then we can actually join and roll dice, eta.

I am also interested. I have the 8th printing PDF of the player handbook.

I have already made character sheets for this site, but I certainly won't have the time to do another one for this game. You can see available templates (alongside a tutorial to make one) by following this link, but I don't see one for C&C. However, I suppose that adapting one from another D&D adjacent game could be done quickly.

We have room for a couple more if anyone is interested.

If you're still looking, Umbral Dragon, I wouldn't mind joining. I have no experience with Castles and Crusades. A lot with Ad&D 1e/2e however, so it should work out...

You're in. Sorry for the late response.

No worries, thank you for the invite!

Hi - Donyou folks have room still, for a sixth? Realizing you’re well underway already, so if need to ride the pine a bit I understand. Just wanted to express my interest, even a bit late.
Cheers.
