Castles & Crusades is a role-playing game published by [[Troll Lord Games]] in 2004. It was conceived as a reimagining of classic [[Dungeons & Dragons]] using streamlined mechanics from third edition Dungeons & Dragons. The game uses many of the [[d20 System]] mechanics, but eliminates skills and feats and expands the number of [[character classes]] to 13. Another feature is the reversion of some rules to the original versions seen in original Dungeons & Dragons (often referred to as "OD&D") or first edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (AD&D).

The system that Castles & Crusades uses is called the SIEGE Engine. A significant new mechanic is the notion of "Primes," often referred to by gamers as the 12/18 system. Through selection of character class and race, players designate some of their character's attributes as "Prime." These Prime attributes use a challenge base of 12, while non-Prime attributes use a challenge base of 18. Tasks based on the Prime attribute are therefore much easier to accomplish than those based on non-Primes.

The name of the game derives from the [[Castle & Crusade Society]], founded in the pre-Dungeons & Dragons era, by [[Gary Gygax]]. The title is in homage to the roleplaying industry's birth.
