Re: Acheivements?
I never came across this anywhere myself, but I too would love to hear more about what others have done for players in this area. Personally, I have dabbled with some of this myself as judge in my home games. An unexpected +1 XP is appreciated by my players for being the first to do something 'wise,...

Re: Alkivasha DCC Patron
I actually like that bit of backstory. It perpetuates the notion that the secret of tyrants lies in subjugation through ignorance. Language is a powerful lively, and mystical medium. Only with the passage of time do old words, meanings, names and reputations transfer themselves to new and often cont...

Re: Alkivasha DCC Patron
I am personally fond of what you've done here, incorporating one of the most iconic and beloved of creatures in fantasy rpg into a DCC patron. :) I too think the journal entry makes good background, and is indeed slightly reminiscent of HP Lovecraft... One thing I am unclear of however is Alkivasha'...

This has been a fun one. I've run it with on the go conversions using the dcc rpg rule book and the CCD at the ready.

Re: Strength check query
Wait a minute, three strikes and you're out? I thought this was DCC, not baseball. Ironically if you ever have any PC's who attempt to play baseball within the context of a scenario and you apply the time delay between failed attempts, you'll totally annihilate any sensibility you may otherwise conc...

Re: Strength check query
Technically if you look at a Strength Check as a Skill Check, the warrior or dwarf are probably the only ones who have a hope of wrenching the gate open (unless someone else has a background that supports having a Strength Skill). Page 66 DCC RPG states that if the skill is untrained (i.e. nothing a...

Re: Judge's Screen
Is your screen one long section, or is it segmented with the individual sections parsed together via immaculate paper crafting? Also, I don't understand how Bender got onto your judges screen.

Re: Liber Arcanum
You could always use art from common/public sources. I'm not sure but I think a lot of the illustrations on wikipedia are of this designation. There is a lot of classical, gothic, and otherwise fantasy appropriate pictures out there you could probably use. Keep up the good work, and we look forward ...

Re: How balanced are the Crawl! classes?
It would seem to me that the classes in DCC are to balance as the pieces of a chess board are to equality. The wild card though is the person playing the class. Just as the person you're playing a chess match against determines the degree of difficulty of your opposition. Therefore it is through the...

That's a wonderful piece of art McGreggor, thanks for the sneak peak tortog. Also an interesting read on your expanded version of the soul cage, I think I could implement it if the Gnome discovers a healing use with it. The Gnome PC is a product of the design done by Yves Larochelle (sheriffharry). ...

I have yet to bestow luck points to the players.

I think crits are only possible through a natural roll. You could use the luck on the roll of the crit table though I believe.

Re: Getting Players to Buy Books/Dice
This is a great question. I have noticed the same ennui when it comes to players providing their own material. It seems that storytellers always have had to provide the bulk of the work, and I'm perfectly happy with that role. But I too would like to see players attend to their own books and dice. I...

Runequest built their rpg around them (go figure) and portrayed them in a really fascinating way. Thanks for t...
