The above is a link to the official HCR site. After reading some formidable review by DMs and Players that implemented these features in their campaigns/modules I went to check what it was all about...

I find it _extremely_ interesting as it basically makes a multiplayer campaing much much more similar to a real PnP adventure (and more realistic too, when compared to the SP campaign). Things like Character Death, Resting (and Camping), Scrolls Creation, Torches and Lanterns lights, Experience Points, Summoned Creatures and much more are dealt with great attention to the official 3rd ED. Players Handbook. With this ruleset enabled, combat tacics and character cooperation will be a lot more important (no more charging in, rest and repeat).

Maybe this is all old news for you all.. if not, I strongly advice you to give a look at this site (the Manual section first of all). This ruleset can be easily added to any module/campaign and also includes a link to a DM Helper tool that allows the DM to perform some basic and very important tasks that are missing in the official DM Client such as looking at players level/stats/feats, join and leave player parties and so on (Rahl you'll like it).

I'd really like to see this HCR enabled in the campaigns I am going to play in the future.
