Formed by Gary Gygax in 1968, the Castle & Crusade Society was a chapter of the International Federation of Wargamers dedicated to medieval miniature wargaming.[1]
Its membership included Gary Gygax, Rob Kuntz and Dave Arneson.
The C&CS published a newsletter called the Domesday Book. Circulation of this newsletter would never exceed 80 copies, but its issues contained a set of rules called the LGTSA miniatures rules which would be expanded and published by Guidon Games as Chainmail in 1971; this being one of the primary predecessors of the original Dungeons & Dragons rules role-playing game.
Issue #13 of the Domesday Book also published the first details and map of Blackmoor from Dave Arneson's first fantasy role-playing campaign in July 1972.[2]
The Castles & Crusades Society officially re-launched as an online society dedicated to supporting and promoting gaming, especially RPGs, in 2008. The Domesday Book was re-launched with new, quarterly editions beginning in April of 2008.
