Blackmoor for C&C

Obviously Castle Zagyg is a huge boon for C&C players and I can't wait until the whole project is completed. My other big wish is that Castle Blackmoor could also be done for C&C. I know that a d20 version was in the works, originally with Goodman Games but apparently now back with Zeitgeist Games and Arneson himself. The last I heard is that it's still "on the anvil" so to speak but no real time frame for release. I would love to see it reworked for C&C play as opposed to d20.
Anybody else like to see this for C&C?

*raises hand*
To be honest, I was dissappointed when Castle Blackmoor changed hands because I was really looking forward to it, regardless of what system it was for. Now we just have to WAIT that much longer...

I'm on the Blackmoor website everyday playing in a PbP. I also understand that the Hardcover was actually done (with Goodman) and now they are just doing a softcover with more material and a cool color map fold out with Zeitgeist.
release date is not announced.

Yep, I would. I have the original Blackmoor supplement and have always thought it would fit nicely in Airhrde somewhere up north a la Greyhawk. I've only briefly looked through some of the newer material and it looks "mineable".

I post over at the Blackmoor website and expressed interest in doing Blackmoor with C&C.
Blackmoor using Castles & Crusades instead of D&D 3.5
As I said over there, I have the main book and could help with conversions on that end. Many thanks to Chris Rutowsky at Goodman Games for creating a resource doc for converting D&D 3.5 to Castles & Crusades (specifically converting The Mysterious Tower to C&C):
Thread at Goodman Games for converting to Castles & Crusades
Havard at the Blackmoor site said he would be happy to host any conversion documents. I would like to see Troll Lord Games and Zeitgeist team up to bring Blackmoor to Castles & Crusades.

That definitely wouldn't hurt anything, IMO.

In my own homegame, I use the C&C rules for BM for quite a while without any problem.

I saw them, but they're books I've seen before... Zietgiest is making a deal about BM, though I haven't seen anything new from BM here...
But honestly, I wasn't looking. My mind was on the joy of Wilderlands coming into C&C... Cool Stuff.
Don.
