Wilderlands goes C&C

From the Necromancer Games/Judges Guild message boards by way of RPGnetter NPC:

Coming in 2007…

Wilderlands of High Adventure

Campaign Installments, Adventure Modules, and Sourcebooks
From Adventure Games Publishing under license from Judges Guild and Troll Lord Games.

The first fantasy role-playing game campaign setting ever published — the legendary Wilderlands of High Fantasy — will be re-released in a newly revised and expanded edition.

Designed and approved for use with
Castles & Crusades


C&C and Wilderlands ought to be a good fit, and positions the brand well in the event of a 4E D&D grinding the hobby beneath its boot.

  1. Yeah, I can't wait for this one.
    I haven't seen any of the new Judges Guild materials since they got back in the business. Please tell me that they haven't succumbed to the Dungeon Punk aesthetic.

    Sometimes I find myself wishing that gaming illustrators would get back to more of an Art Brut style. Maybe it's just me, but something about those old dodgy black and white drawings and Erol Otus paintings communicates the flavor of fantasy gaming far more than the polished, neo-goth crap that's out there now.

    Sometimes art can simply destroy an otherwise good product, as far as I'm concerned.

    Anyway, back on topic - I just picked up Castles & Crusades, so I'm very much looking forward to this new material.

    Having long abandoned D&D, C&C is the one fantasy game that really hearkens back to my gaming days of yore.
