Re: Connect the dots here

If he gave TSR permission to use it, and also gave Chaosium permission to use it, why back off when litigation happened between the two? Why not just say, "hey, play nice" and allow both to use his characters? (It was very nice of him to allow this, I should point out. In today's world an...

Re: Connect the dots here

I would totally love DCC Elric ... though an English translation of the French Elric RPG Mournblade seems to be coming soon (looking forward to that one as well). I'm not sure if the license for an Elric RPG could/would be spread between several parties like that. OTOH, going by the interview, it se...

The Funnel Experience in Appendix N Fiction

Not sure if this thread should rather be in the Appendix sub-forum, but since it also is about possible tweaks with regards to how DCC might be played in different settings, I'll put in in general. The funnel is something that seems obviously derived from early gaming experience rather than from the...

Re: Appendix N: For a New Generation - What is your list?

I'd go along with pretty much everything on the list (especially China Mieville's Bas-Lag, Le Guin's Earthsea, Wolfe's Book of the New Sun, Pratchett's Discworld), and I'd add: Zachary Jernigan, Jeroun-Duology (pretty unknown, but it is really, really weird and kind of get's the energy of Zelazny's ...

Re: One Judge, One Player

Similar question here: My current online group is only one GM, two players. I'm thinking about throwing DCC into the ring when it's my turn to GM again. I'd like to start with a funnel (probably Starless Sea, because I already know it from the other side of the gaming table and like it), but I'm not...

Re: Introductions Thread - Join the Band!

Hi everyone, I'm Jakob, I have played some DCC, and to be honest, I don't really have a history with old-school games - I grew up playing our native German RPGs "Das schwarze Auge" and "Midgard" in the 80s and then quickly added a lot of stuff like MERP, Stormbringer and CoC to t...

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

My first choice from the Appendix would be the Young Kingdoms - I'd really like to see a DCC take on it, though I must say that I'm a great Stormbringer fan and associate the setting with BRP and Chaosium. Still, DCC would seem like a really good fit. Among the books that are not on the Appendix, bu...
