Edition Summary | [ Edit Main Info ] |
From the publisher's website:
Alea Iacta Est - The die is cast!
Upon Foundations of Stone
Beneath the walls and towers of adventure, beneath the ground upon which the adventurer treads, lies the foundation. It is that which holds the construct, which drives the challenges, which brings the flavor of a world’s imaginings to light. It is the maelstrom of creation through whose eye the game of heroic chance plays out.
What Lies Within
The Castle Keeper’s Guide includes a host of new material for the role playing enthusiast. From world creation, to dungeon designs, managing non-player characters, character attributes at high levels, spell use and cost, equipment its use and wastage, the tumult of storms, from warfare to combat, monsters, treasure, death and more. The Castle Keeper’s Guide provides the CK and the Player with a host of new tools for their use; tools designed to enhance play, not hinder it; designed to be malleable from gaming table to gaming table.

Notes on This Edition
Before the pre-ordered, full-sized hardcovers were printed, a 5-3/4" x 7-3/4" version of the Castle Keepers Guide was offered as part of the daily specials during Troll Lord Game's 12 Days of Christmas Sale at the end of 2010. This version was printed and shipped first, so it became the first widely available edition of the CKG. 290 pages, perfect bound, $24.99. This is simply a shrunk-down version of the 1st printing, with no reformatting, so the font is tiny.Game Editions | [ Edit This Edition ] |
