CASTLES & CRUSADES
Castle & Crusades Character Sheet	An old-school Excel sheet for Castles & Crusades that is almost as hardcore as writing up your character on a sheet of looseleaf paper.

Castle Keeper Screen	Steven J. Ege's 4-page .pdf is a great reference for CKs and players who need to quickly look up rules for combat or turning, weapons charts and more.
Castle Keeper Screen Program (v 1.5)	This .exe file can be run from this site or downloaded and run on your PC during your C&C game. Very handy.

AD&D 3rd EDITION
AD&D3 Player's Handbook, revised	My take on what 3rd edition should have been! It borrows heavily from C&C, D&D 3.X, and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (both 1st & 2nd Edition). I do not claim to be the original author of all of this document's content. Some passages, mainly "fluff text" including the race & class descriptions, are excerpts coming from various D&D books of all editions and/or the previous source material. Their use is not meant to challenge the copyrights or trademarks of the rightful authors or owners. This version is a bit of an experiment with my original AD&D3 rules. It's less like C&C because prime ability scores have been removed and the Challenge Base for ability checks has been reduced a tad. It puts more emphasis on ability scores and makes characters a bit more balanced (at least I think so).
AD&D3 Character Sheet, revised	New and improved, this sheet is better organized than the old sheet.
Dungeon Master's Guide	Here is my work-in-progress DMG/Unearthed Arcana mash up. (This is pretty rough at this point... so feel free to send errata and/or suggestions my way).
Group Record Sheet	Helps you keep track of your player's abilities and, hopefully, speed up your game.
Level Titles	For those who like that old, AD&D, feel. I don't use them but I get wistful looking at them.
