Goodman Games

I bet they're classic boxes.

With the quality of the printing and binding, the page count, the amount of art, the mechanics and the whole tone of the game, I'm even more convinced this will be an instant rpg classic (just as the name suggests).

Haven Goodman, born 2/1/2012, and hopefully able to sleep through the night sometime soon because God knows I could use some sleep!!

Ah yes. Children. Those adorable self-inflicted injuries.

Where do we see conversion notes fitting in? Although DCC RPG will be supported by purpose-written modules, there will be many who would like to convert past D&D modules or just convert some favourite critters, etc. Guidance, examples, fully worked out adventures, etc.; Should they have their ow...

I assume errata would go into a Rules Questions subforum. I'm hoping a full subforum for those will not be needed.

Release the pigeons!

Even before the beta was released I purchased a set of funkies in the UK. It cost me the price of the DDC RPG book itself :shock: . I'm OK with that as my means allows for such eccentric purchases, but many, many others will not swallow the extra cost AND extra hassle of hunting down a source for th...

480 pages! That US$4 international shipping offer is going to ruin your business!

Fab news for us however. Sounds like lots of meat for all aspects (rules, art, flavour). I predict an instant classic RPG.

It will be good news to many that the Free RPG Day modules are included in the core rule book. However, not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth, I personally prefer my rule books to not have adventures in them. There are issues with players getting hold of the book and seeing the adventure, but...

Just a suggestion... Make the download of the free adventure day 0 level starter...er free? I know it's only a few dollars over at rpgnow and I bought it but at least everyone would have something before the other 0 level stuff becomes available? For some reason, I think that was their plan. I'm su...

I think I am going to wait for the standard format to arrive at leisuregames or gameslore. Leisure Game just wrote back to me today with the following; "It looks like they will be able to get this for us. So, let us know if you would like to go ahead with it." Unfortunately, I've already ...

Will the game be available from online stores in the uk like leisuregames, gameslore etc? They will stock Goodman Games items in the normal manner. However, I've already contacted Gameslore and they have told me they can't/won't handle the pre-order. Leisure Games have told me they are making inqui...

I'd stop the presses just as I was getting ready to e-mail the final version to the printers. I'd then send it out again to a group of good fresh eyes for one more week to look for typos (I volunteer!). Only then would I pull the trigger on it. This is because I hate typos with a vengeance. However,...

That's a very generous offer Joseph and much appreciated. To be fair to Leisure Games, I'll wait for their reply just in case they can match it (which would allow me to support a bricks and mortar shop). However, I suspect your deal will be the winner.

Now I'm off to spread the word.

I don't have an answer for you, but I have been investigating obtaining the limited edition pre-order bundle in the UK. So far Gameslore have very courteously replied to let me know that they would not be able to do this as it would not be profitable for them. Leisure Games have making inquiries (mo...

Hmmm, April 1st. Can we trust you? Is the DCC RPG just an April Fool's joke?

I believe Tavis Allison of Adventurer, Conqueror, King fame has contributed something to the DCC RPG.

Black Dougal. Care to post your impressions on how the DCC RPG system is shaping up? We'll take it as read that it's still lethal. :lol: However, any tit-bits on how it's changed since the beta would be greatly appreciated. We're all champing at the bit to get hold of it. A few crumbs might keep us ...

Excellent. You've introduced me to the Internet meme of Leeroy Jenkins.

I hope some of those who played there will write up their impressions of the system as it currently stands (unless you were DDXP NDAing them, that is).

Congratulations! If he's your first child, welcome to the veeeeery steep learning curve. And goodbye to sleep for....a couple of years. :shock: Looks like DCC RPG will get released just in the nick of time. But I've also got to say, that all the clichés will now be seen as true; These will be the be...

That's good news Finarvyn. Thanks. For a bit there I was wondering if Goodman Games had been contracted as consultants to WotC to provide design input for 5e and so all had gone quiet.

One hopes that the tumble-weed rolling around in these forums indicates that they are all beavering away at finalising the book.

Firstly, I think some of the lethality will have been ironed out in the released version of the rules (for instance, I believe the frequency of magic-induced corruption has been decreased). Never the less, it is likely to remain quite an edgy system, thus you are correct that a D&D mentality (es...

Another comment by Monte Cooke that has DCC RPG overtones to my mind; We are also experimenting with variations on task resolution. What if, for example, something that used to give you a bonus or a penalty instead modified the dice you roll? A bonus to your attack roll might be the ability to roll ...
