Castles & Crusades Rules Reference Sheets / Game Master Screen Inserts

"Spell Books" by Tsabo6

[updated 2/27/2026: portrait format now included in addition to the landscape format: DriveThruRPG]

Castles & Crusades is the perfect mid-point between enough rules and rules-light.  Still, my players and I sometimes need help to know what's what. To reduce time looking up rules at the table, I created these reference sheets. I also use them as GM screen inserts. 

Enjoy!

I've been on a bit of a tear making Castles & Crusades sheets (you can see the rest here: Double D's sheets).

Next up, I made spell sheets for use in your Castles & Crusades game. 

These sheets include:

• Spell Casting tracker sheet to track spells per day, spells expended, challenge levels, and concentration checks.

• Spell Book to track spell details available to your character!

• Spell Component log to track use of spell components (if you're hardcore!)

If you find issues, let me know and I’ll fix it!

    

Great Free VTT Tokens from Dead Hawk Publishing

[Update 2/24/2026: These tokens are inspired by art by Frankie Breakbone (You See This blog and his Patreon). Old School Jelly, the fellow behind the tokens, confirmed in the comments below.]

Folks,

Just a quick and dirty post (just like your mom likes it) today.

Deak Hawk Publishing (DriveThruRPG link; Patreon link) has posted some great free VTT tokens.  These definitely have the OSR / Shadowdark vibe that I love. 

Old School Token Pack - Lost Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur

From the DTRPG posting:

This digital token pack contains everything you need to run Lost Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur, the dungeon found in The Arcane Library’s Shadowdark RPG Quickstart Set. Inside you will find tokens for 19 unique characters, including eight pre-generated player characters.

Each token is hand-drawn in a striking OSR black-and-white style, is 400 x 400 pixels in size, has dark and light background variants, and is available in both PNG and WebP formats. Better yet, they're 100% free!

You can find similar excellent tokens at the You See This blog and Patreon (see that post here: Free Old School D&D Virtual Tabletop (VTT) Tokens).

Compact Castles & Crusades Compact Character Cards by the Dungeoneering Dad

[Updated 2/17/2026]

I worked up some small character cards for Castles & Crusades.   

I use these as Castle Keeper (aka DM / GM / judge) "cheat" sheets of the PCs, but they would also work well for NPCs.  They'd also be suitable for a player that loves something more simple than a standard character sheet.

I made two versions: one that uses the new "Reforged" term of "Disposition" term, and one that uses the OGL "Alignment" term.

As a teenager, I loved making character record sheets for D&D. Personal computers were still kind of new, so it was a game changer to produce a "professional" sheet at home! Plus, it was hard to get a hold of the official sheets. When you did, they were precious because you didn't have an unlimited supply.

The Internet changed all that and it became easier to find pre-made ones (official or otherwise).

Castles & Crusades is my favorite RPG, but I've never found a character sheet that was exactly what I wanted. I grew up playing AD&D and moved to 3rd Edition. When C&C first came out, it was often referred to as "3rd Edition Lite." That's what I like about it: it has the modernization of 3rd Edition, but plays faster.

However, most C&C character record sheets are set up closer to AD&D format, rather than something closer to 3rd Edition. The only ones I can find with the "3e format" are made by the Mad Irishman (link).

So, I sat down finally and made the ones that I want! You have can find them on DriveThruRPG here: Castles & Crusades Character Record Sheets by the Dungeoneering Dad

I updated the files to include two formats:

• One set with Secondary Skills and Advantages from the Castle Keepers Guide.
• One set with only core C&C content.

I'd love feedback or requests.
