"Alea iacta est!" The die is cast. With those words, Caesar crossed the Rubicon into Italy and changed the course of the Republic's history. Are you ready?

Castles & Crusades is one of the hottest selling FRPGs on the market today. Released in 2005, Castles and Crusades has routinely posted as one of the top 10 best-selling RPGs, and it is already on its second print run.

The reasons are simple. Castles & Crusades is an easy-to-learn, fast-paced role playing game. It takes little over 15 minutes to master the game, and about as long to make a character. Within its pages you'll find everything you're familiar with: classes, races, spells, monsters—the basics are all here, and more. You'll find a smooth-flowing, simple mechanic to resolve all non-combat-related conflict. Whether you are trying to swim that proverbial river, climb a wall, or resolve disputes through diplomacy, C&C's simple attribute-check system does it all. Gone are the cumbersome, litigious debates, replaced by imaginative role play between the Castle Keeper (the CK) and the player.
