Re: Transylvanian Adventures - Land of Phantoms - Ask-Me-Anything
You mentioned that you're getting hung up on PDF formatting, but that sounds like more of a psychological block to me, a sort of perfectionism maybe? Just run with what you have. Trust me; people will want the content. I know I do! You're not wrong. I am depressed. Not about TA. But it has affected...

Re: Recommendations for 1-2 Level Modules
I've just picked up DCC and intend to run the Portal under the Stars for my sons and then hopefully my gaming group, but wondered what would be a good module or two to pick up after that? I've seen Doom of the Savage Kings mentioned a few times but can't seem to find a print copy over here in the U...

Re: first campaign
I know this company produced modules for D&D3.5 some years ago and they used a "World of Aereth" setting. Are the modules for the DCC system supposed to also be set in that same world? Loosely, yes, though by no means do you need to read through the older 3.0 Aereth sourcebooks to do ...

Re: One Judge, One Player
I want us to get as much of the DCC experience as possible, so I really want to run a funnel module. But I’m wondering: Is this even possible with a single player? If it is, is there a particular module that is conducive to this? Thanks! Keith I've run one-on-one sessions, including two funnels, Po...

Re: One Judge, One Player
Oh, another question: Did y'all use the funky dice when you first got started? It would be simple for me to buy a set of Zocchi dice, but I’m lazy and don’t want to one-click on Amazon. Are the dice actually necessary, or can you do the whole dice chain with a standard D&D dice set? The funky d...

Re: Metal Gods of Ur-Hadad #4-6: Abandoned Kickstarter?
When you back a Kickstarter to are paying the maker to attempt to make a product. According to the creator, the project was mostly already done, with issue #4 set to be published regardless of funding goals, and issues 5 and 6 already having been in playtesting, so the only gamble was whether they ...

Re: DCC Halfling only class that's worse than Basic D&D source
Very late to the game here, but FWIW I've seen a lot of Halflings played, and I've never felt like they were underpowered to the point of disadvantage. To me, they play exactly like what they are: basically a Hobbit. They can sneak and hide easily, fit into small spaces, have infravision and reduced...

Re: DCC Summoner - Yet Another Character Generator
Cool look, reminds me of playing LORD on BBSes. My only gripe is that it doesn't include all the character information: title, XP, etc. If it included all of that, plus maybe moved the birth augur to somewhere less prominent and had a print or export to pdf feature, I'd use it regularly.

Re: Turn Unholy
Not undead, no, but each alignment of cleric has its list of what is "unholy" (to it). To a chaotic cleric, "Angels, paladins, lawful dragons, Lords of Law, Lawful Primes, and Law-aligned humanoids (e.g., goblins)" are unholy, so presumably a chaotic cleric could make these categ...

For help... That time has flown by. I think the window has closed. :( You sound a little depressed, but I don't know why. TA is a really cool product; it's just lacking in support. I'd strongly suggest putting out what you have, and I think you'd see a big surge in interest. There's no remotely com...

Release Date for Gongfarmer's Almanac 2021?
Anyone know when this year's GFA will be released? I'm thinking of getting a set of all of them in print, but if the 2021 edition is right around the corner, I'll hold off until it's ready.

Re: Thoughts on Kobolds Stole My Cat! & The Gongfarmer's Revenge
Just wanted to thank Mark Tasaka for the acknowledgement in the recent Greenleaf adventures he's published (The Cat and the Resurrection, Beneath the Giant's Head, and Murt's Miscalculation). We're still playing our Greenleaf-related campaign, and I'm excited to work these new modules into it!

Re: Core setting
I think it's just growing so quickly from 3rd party sources & GFA especially, it would be almost limiting to put out something like #35 for it, just my $.02. Kind of like how the Annual was "the supplement that wasn't needed."

Re: New DM screen i made myself.
Nice stuff. I linked it here for anyone wanting to see it directly: https://nwaepa.blogspot.com/search?q=dm+screen
I personally find myself using crit tables more often than the Turn Unholy table, so I should probably do one of these too at some point.

Re: Running DCC with One player and One GM
Is it possible? How do you go about it? Have any of you done so? If so how did it go? I've done it, and it works fine. If you think of video game RPGs, you often have one player controlling 3-8 characters, so it's not really different from that. The big difference to me is that combat seems a bit m...

Re: Why are warriors so overpowered?
I don't think they're overpowered, but I see what you're saying. IMO they make up for, say, a wizard's frailty and unreliability in battle though, so there's that to think about.

Trend of Overpriced Kickstarters
I was excited to be notified of KSes for some new modules, but $8.00-$10.00 for a funnel PDF, no stretch goals? Maybe I'm a frugal crank, but even the official Goodman DCC modules are $6.99 -- and $4.00 when they're on sale! I would love to see these come down in price in general, with more rewards ...
