Quest For It is the beating heart of the game.

Indeed, hence my phrasing in my post.
On a side note, and I know this has been said by others before, that quote really needs to be a t-shirt.

Oh, so an easy quest then...

I love physical books. I put up with pdf copies when that's all I can find, but I vastly prefer physical books I can hold in my hand. In fact, if there are two books of interest and one is available in physical format and the other is pdf, I'll take the physical book 100% of the time. And box sets.....

Of course! Why didn't I think of that? Lol

If you include 3pp, who has a die large enough?

Roll two Zocchihedrons in the manner of percentiles...??

Anything is possible with zocchi dice

The perfect funnel module to unify a new adventurers band is Sailors On The Starless Sea, in my opinion. Otherwise, I completely agree with Ravenheart87, the rather cluttered and dense aspect of DCC productions allows a great leeway and a lot of choices, without ever having really "need" ...

I love this idea! Lol

Pick up the core rules. Make sure you have dice, pencils, and paper. Pick up a Ready Reference Book. http://dcctreasures.blogspot.ca/2016/12/dcc-rpg-reference-booklet.html Bookmark the free tools from Purple Sorcerer and/or download the Crawler's Companion app. https://www.purplesorcerer.com/grimoi...

DCC has been around for a decade now, and between all of the official Goodman Games products, along with the plethora of excellent 3pp books/zines/adventures, there is literally thousands of dollars worth of content for a new player to catch up on. So, those of you who have been with this amazing ga...

That's awesome! I read the Virtual Funnel (I too am exploring the back catalog), but haven't used it yet. Now I want to give it a try.

Alright, that's my intro, really appreciate all the posts on this forum and the users who's posts from 2012 I have happened across and found invaluable. Even if they're not active any more, it's cool we can all still look back on that stuff and find something interesting. :mrgreen: Welcome and well...

Happy New Year to the Goodman Games family, the DCC Community, and anyone else who may stumble upon this post. I hope your 2022 is COVID free and the dice roll in your favor. I know I am a relative newcomer to this forum, but I have found so many rewarding posts here, learned of many great blogs (Ra...

It seems obvious but I find it difficult to get rid of certain reflexes accumulated after years of AD&D ! Here is another reflex from AD&D to beware: Checking for every item. Roll for the important/big stuff and then roll for other things if you need to. A fall into a pit should not result ...

Amen!

Whether you celebrate any holiday or not, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend filled with dice and joy. My the phlogiston flow in your favor and the treasure troves be filled with silver and gold. I am at work for one more hour, then it's home for some DCC with friends and family. We have alread...

In my experience, games that try to provide a rule for every situation and attempt to create uniformity in said rules inevitably create a fertile breeding ground for Rules Lawyers and arguments at the table. DCC, on the other hand, leaves so much to the discretion of the Judge that it is virtually i...

I think that you and I are really looking at this game from very different perspectives. Where you see bugs, I see features, and vice versa. That said, Quest For It applies to judges as well as players. You are not only entitled to make it the game you want, you should do so! Why settle for anythin...

I was wondering the same thing.

This may also be of value to you:

I have not read it yet, but I came across it while looking for something else and thought of you.

You may also appreciate checking out https://www.knightsinthenorth.com/
There is a wealth of material there to mine, including some urban locations and a write up of Crom as a DCC god.

I can see your point, and I can appreciate where you are coming from. Personally though, the issues you lament are what I see as strengths. One of the things that started to frustrate me when playing D&D and Pathfinder was the level of completeness to the settings. So much was fleshed out by the...

You are free to modify the adventure any way you like. My understanding of DCC (and its modules) is that it assumes the Judge will tailor the game to the needs of the table. This is why so many elements are left undefined or under defined. Most modern games spoon feed you everything they want you to...

By chance, have any of you fleshed out the two gods mentioned in this adventure? I'm willing and able to do it myself, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has already put in the work for public consumption. Paul Wolfe would be the best person to ask. You might be able to contact ...

True. It's a dying medium, though one I still appreciate.
