Re: Zero-level Character Concepts ?.

I'm always judging so I don't often create characters. But when I do (and my players too) I tell them to give them simple names once they do something cool. And then give them a "descriptive name" once they move up to Level 1. For example: my dwarven miner, was named Donald once he did his...

Re: What other Appendix N inspired settings would you like to see?

I would like to see Stormbringer/Elric/Hawkmoon (in other words the world of Michael Moorcock).

Barsoom would be cool but I'm pretty sure Modiphius Entertainement has the rights.

It's not appendix N but Discworld by Terry Pratchett would be fun.

Re: Any chance for a Castle Whiterock update to 5E?

I'm guessing if the "Crypt of the Devil Lich" Kickstarter has good results, it would be an incentive to update the "Castle Whiterock" the same way. Personally, I'm really happy that "Crypt of the Devil Lich" has been updated to DCC rules. It's probably also cost efficie...

Have any backers received their copy? Everything is done on BackerKit except the "your order has shipped" step. Last update was January 5th saying to look for something in the mail.

Re: Switching my group to DCC

First off, welcome to DCC! I was thinking the People of the Pit, but think the plot might be a little too similar to Doom to do them back to back. I was thinking the same thing because the summaries of the adventures are so similar, but after reading Meadhelm's Road Crew report, Pariahs Pitted Again...

They've done the great Sailors of the Starless Sea at an earlier time, and I plan to do Doom when they get to the Land of the Eight Cities.

Re: Throwing a ball of force (Force Manipulation spell)

I actually rule it the other way, that you have to throw it with an attack roll. Because you can hurl it, but you don't have to hurl it, you could do something else with it (like, use it to stop a door from completely closing or something). If you could somehow "telekinetically" make it f...

Re: Throwing a ball of force (Force Manipulation spell)

I would say it depends how you interpret the spell: 1 - It's a ball and you have to throw it "manually" so you have to do a additional missile check (Agility). 2 - It's a ball of force that the wizard created and has full control. Therefore, it will hit whatever (within reason) he wants it...

Wow! That is really cool! I love the 8-bit DOS/Basic look. I think you should ask the "To hit" modifier next to the weapon as well as the damage and modifier. That's always useful. I'm pretty sure the Core-Rule Book character generation is the same as the Quick Start Rules so there shouldn...

Re: Ghouls easier to hit?

Where do you get your +2 from? The only place I see where it can come from is in the location below of the stat block (+3 in this example). If that is indeed what you mean, it's the attack modifier the ghoul has. So you roll your D20, add 2 (the +2) and you have to hit higher than the PCs AC. Beetle...
