Castles & Crusades Organized Play
So we had a long talk with Daryl today, and he has volunteered to help us get the Organized Play off the ground, something that TLG and C&C has long, long needed to do. Every time we get started something derails us, but with Daryl on board that should not be the problem it has in the past.
So for anyone wanting to run games for C&C at cons anywhere, we may have a home for you soon!

Very excited about this! Hopefully we'll get more people jumping on board with this at it plays out.
The Castles & Crusades community is such a great group of people. We really want to focus on running games at conventions. There are many of us out there that love to go to cons and want to be able to play C&C, as well as Castle Keepers who need to be able to list their games on or off the grid and get the word out to the community. That's what I plan to focus on and am happy to be a part of it!

We have some active online CKs - it seems like that could be an organized play opportunity/option also, if any of these would be willing to run a standard set of modules with standard rules for public or registered online players. I can't speak for anyone but maybe one session a month devoted just to whatever the organized play model is might keep this alive outside of cons (plus the online cons, FG Con and Aethercon).
Sweetening the deal would be exclusive short adventures supplied for these games, and a point system for players.
Aergraith, That's a fantastic idea. We need to get people running games on Roll 20 on a regular basis.
I am unclear on the concept of "Organized Play". Are we talking demo modules to run at conventions and game stores to introduce players to C&C, or something more in line with RPGA, where players can take their characters around to various C&C games and jump right in, earn experience and persistant items?
When I think of organized play, I am thinking more of the RPGA model, but it may be that a simple schedule/signup system would be a good start, e.g. Bob's running a table at 4:00pm at SomethingCon and needs 5 players, has 3, max 10, or something like that.
Anvil, we are definately thinking along the lines of the RPGA.
Aergraith, something like a community bulletin board?
I know that 5E's "Adventurer's League" gets a lot of love at my local game store. I'd love to have some C&C competition to run alongside their games.
