The Castle and Crusade Society was founded in1968 in Lake Geneva, by gamers, well known and forgotten. It has gone through several incarnations, revisited by such notables as Tom Wham, and has at last found a new home, here and in your home and at your local conventions. In great part we have been inspired by the tales of those early years to bring back a spirit of comradery and fun to a hobby that, for many, has wandered far from the child within us all. With that in mind, it is the Society’s goal to promote gaming in all its guises and introduce a younger generation to a hobby that many believe is rapidly diminishing in the face of new technologies, and to re-introduce veterans and grognards alike to an epoch in gaming history when it was all about the adventure!

Welcome all of you to a band of like minded merry adventurers.

The Castle and Crusade Society, veterans and novices alike, are all dedicated gamers and believe that games of all types should be exciting, invigorating, imaginative and above all, fun and we are working diligently to bring gamers together under one banner to support the community as a whole. The members of the Castle and Crusade Society are not restricted to any style or type of game, or even a single genre of games. There are amongst us those who play all incarnations of roleplaying games, war games, classic board games, card games and computer games.

Yet even more than that, we are a happy few, bound to a time and place less mundane. A band of like minded chivalry who look ever to the horizons, to that place that lingers on the borders of our imagination and desire.

Welcome weary traveler, set down your pack and take a place at our table. Take a rest from your long adventures and gather with us to hear tall tales of gold and glory. Though be not shy in joining our ranks, our happy troop, so that you may add your voice to a hall full of fellow wanderers like yourself.

For in time we shall gather as a great armored host . . . .

If ye be men of valor, great fortitude and wondrous imagination, gather ye bravely and join in marshal arms with us! Assemble your strengths, unsheathe your weapons, heft your shields and gird yourselves as if for war....
