Do you use the Castle Keepers Guide?

The poll is a little broad. I use hero and luck points. I think that's it. If my players' PCs ever hit high level, I'll presumably use the high level class descriptions.

Yeah, that's too broad. I use some things, but not everything. And some of the stuff I'm using, I've modified.

Lol, my poll stands.

The way I see it, if you've use anything from it, I consider that the CKG was a valid resource for your games.

Then, going by your "limited view," yes I do use the CKG.

Yes, in my online game last year. I would use more of it if I ever ran another face to face game.

I am the one who uses nothing from it.

Well... it is written in English, mostly, and I do use letters, so I guess I use at least 26 things.

Waaaaait a second. You DO use the advantages from the CKG in Kayolan's game.

I would think only our own games counted, not those ran by others. Do I PLAY in games where CKG rules are used? Yes. Do I use CKG rules in the games I run? Nope.

You're sooo a user!

I have used the CKG as a big source of inspiration for my games.

I use the critical hits and fumble rule from it. Advantages will probably be used (and are noted in my house rules) but I haven't used them yet.

What I use from the CKG in my more rules heavy game (so far):

Secondary skills
Advantages
Critical hits (Option 4 "Roadhouse" variant)
Secondary & tertiary attributes
Expanded class levels (if or when it comes into play)
Attributes scores table (covers scores of 19-30)
A lot of the guidelines on Illusions
Wand, staff, rod recharging
Optional rules on ambushing and surprise
Combat maneuvers
Luck and hero points
Dwarven, elven, etc. crafted arms and armor

...and I might be adding in more as time goes on.

Woo-hoo! My comment was worthy of being Buttmonkey's quote.

I've not yet adopted any of the options from the CKG but I'm considering a couple of them.

I voted "No" because the question is too broad. I have read it before and attempted to use bits and pieces of it. For the most part I don't use it but I have referenced it. I have used advantages in one campaign but not as presented in the CKG because I don't care for that presentation. It was also troublesome a bit since it was several printings behind the Player's Handbook when my group started Castles & Crusades. I am looking forward to getting the newly produced and hopefully superior edited and updated one with the rest of the C&C Kickstarter goodies. I will take a good look at it again when I have the new one in my hands.
