Castles & Crusades Rule Set Official Announcements & Updates
Trollzah! Our Updated Castles & Crusades ruleset and other C&C products can be found on the Fantasy Grounds Forge - https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/crafter/253/view-profile.
As most of you have surmised, our old fantasy grounds product line, which was outdated and very broken, has been retired permanently. It was started in the early days of Fantasy Grounds and never really got the support it needed. In the last 2 years, TLG has stepped up and committed to bringing a fully supported new product line that not only is updated to the current FGU standards but also has been brought in house so that it could be maintained properly over time. Development on new products is active, but will be released by company developers when they are available at their own pace.
A few important things about this ruleset:
The Quick Start Guide (QSG) has fully equipped pre-generated characters that you can use right away. To activate them:
- Go to the sidebar: Modules --> Activation then choose ruleset filter and make sure the QSG module is activated.
- In the Modules window click on the QSG and look in the right window for the contents list.
- Find the pin entitled "Pregenerated Characters" and open it up.
- A window will popup with 4 pregen characters. Simply click on the green plus for each one and this will add the four pre-gens one at a time to your character roster to use.
For those of you that are have been using the Legacy ruleset, you may be wondering how to open and use your preexisting campaigns. Not to worry, the new ruleset is completely backward compatible. You just need to complete a few quick steps to get your adventure back up and running. We have put together an informative guide to help with this process. You can find it in our bag of holding, our free downloads page here: https://trolllord.com/bag-of-holding/
**Disclaimer - Please keep in mind that our older legacy products are no longer supported with the new release so they, plus extensions, mod files, etc. are not guaranteed to work and may contain outdated or inaccurate information.
We would like to also thank everyone that has played and supported our products over the years, we are a small company but we try to be as big as we can when it comes to helping folks enjoy gaming. We look forward to 2022 being a big year in gaming for everyone. Trollzah!

New Release!
All roads through the Darkenfold are dangerous, and the tracks to Willowbreak are no exception. From the beginning, travelers must hazard a number of dangers, from the flooded river and submerged bridge, to lonely foot paths, ensorcelled bar keeps, giants in the water, and eagles that burn. Upon the Powder River offers five loosely linked adventures that pit the characters, their wits and brawn, against a number of deadly encounters, both magical and mundane.

Castles & Crusades: C3 Upon the Powder River
Explore more of the environs of the Darkenfold Forest as well as the village of Willowbreak! This overland adventure is for levels 4-7 and consists of a series of short adventures, which in turn offer the enterprising Castle Keeper the opportunity for numerous side treks and adventures. It is easy to port into any game and sections can be played or skipped over as needed.

New release!
The River Basin lies between the Spine Ridge to the north, and the Cherry Hills in the south. It holds the meandering Mistbane River, the life blood of the ancient and dreaded wood, the Darkenfold. Here trails switch back on one the other through a country haunted by small dragons, wild eschl and will o wisps. Travel here is difficult and dangerous...
Follow the trail into the Bolan Drops and climb the high country overlooking the Wingnut Bottoms, travel onto the Lake of Nunt, to the banks of the Watchita River, all in the tracks of an Oath that passed through the words many years ago.

Castles & Crusades: C4 Harvest of Oaths
Harvest of Oaths is a series of encounters that can be played together as a loosely linked story for an overland campaign or broken into pieces and played separately. The adventures are designed for mid-level characters but are fairly easy to scale for high and low level characters.
Plunge once more into the Darkenfold and explore the haunts of the River Basin Country!
- Adventure Type: Overland
- Level: 4-7
- Party: 3-5 characters

March 30th, 2022, 20:05 #5Built high on cliffs overlooking the confluence of two rivers, Gurthap Keep was a bastion of strength and a haven for the Cult of the Red God. Here, priests of old sacrificed over the tomb of long dead Kha M Thir, honoring him for his long service to the Red God.
They added bastions to the keep, walls, temple, and barracks. From there they terrorized the surrounding country, raiding the villages of Alice, Greenbriar, and Ends Meet until at last the rangers gathered against the Cult and overthrew it. They drove them from their walls and those they did not slay, fled into the Darkenfold to the south.
The castle has sat thus ever since, a grim testament to the gods of the old world. The forest has consumed it and only the memories of men keep it alive. But beyond its abandoned walls lie the shadows of yesteryear. For the tomb of Kah M Thir was never found and the secrets of the priests of the Red God never fully revealed
forge_c&c_c5falls_store_image-cover--1FORUMS.jpg
Castles & Crusades: C5 Falls to Divide
This adventure is a set piece adventure, taking place entirely in and around the Falls. The adventure can pick up after C4 Harvest of Oaths, however, it is not necessary to play that adventure in order to enjoy Falls the Divide. Other adventures may enhance play but are not necessary: C1 Mortality of Green, C2 Shades of Mist, and C3 Upon the Powder River.
- Adventure Type: Overland, Castle & Dungeon
- Levels: 5-9

New Release! C6 Ends Meet
Built high on cliffs overlooking the confluence of two rivers, Gurthap Keep was a bastion of strength and a haven for the Cult of the Red God. Here, priests of old sacrificed over the tomb of long dead Kha M Thir, honoring him for his long service to the Red God. The dark, gloomy forest gives way to the houses and lanes of a quiet little village. Nestled in the trees, behind a slow-moving steam, the town blends with the forest in comforting shades of green and brown. Solid wooden cabins with high roofs, open windows, and open doors promise a comfort you have not felt in days.
A dog bays somewhere.
You have come at last to Ends Meet.

May 26th, 2022, 22:45 #10Long ago men built the Eniel-ot-Blaud, the Tower on the Blue River. But it fell to the ravages of time and the depredations of the wild, and its name was forgotten. That is until the Green Wizard found it and fortified it anew, making it a place of savage cruelty and one all the peoples of the forest feared.
That Green Wizards power has only grown and he is, at last, casting his eyes beyond the confines of his small realm and threatening the whole of the Darkenfold with war and bloody conquest.
