7 / 10Zachary The FirstI'm a big fan of Castles & Crusades, which I feel combines the best of AD&D with the best of d20, but I would have liked to have seen a little bit more ease of reading out of the Quick Start guide. Still a nice product, though.
6 / 10MonsterMashUsable, but not quite ideal cut down version of C&C
5 / 10ShannonAI'm not impressed by the C&C system which seems to combine the worst aspects of d20 and AD&D system with some added and unnecessary complexity. This particular quickstart earns some kudos because it really shows off how to write a simple adventure in such a way that it's really useful to a first-time gamemaster, full of simple explanations. Otherwise, I'd rate it below average based on the system alone.

3 + 3pookieCastles & Crusades 2010 Quick Start Rules. A good introduction to both Castles & Crusades and classic fantasy roleplaying.
2 + 2pookieCastles & Crusades 2011 Quick Start Rules. An introduction to Castles & Crusades that could have been quicker and better thought through as to what it wants to do.
2 + 2PookieCastles & Crusades Quick Start Rules. Free RPG Day Review #9: With no sign of an official Dungeons & Dragons give away for the day, what can its nearest fantasy RPG equivalent offer in its stead?
3 + 4MonsterMashCastles & Crusades Quick Start Rules. A useful free version of Castles and Crusades, but lacks examples and detail.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
