Goodman Games

Thanks, I couldn't resist.

In support of virtual gaming as well as the original DCC Day, a number of Road Crew judges are running a zero-level Portal Under the Stars tournament online! We have several games of Portal planned for the same day, run tournament style: 5 players each, 2 characters per player (with reserves to kee...

The Illuminating Anhk swallows heavily and nods to himself, then turns and goes back -- quietly -- to the room with the slumbering beast. When he meets up with the others: "I have ascertained that the blobous creature is gone and the way is clear for our strategic withdrawal in that direction.&...

Unofficial Virtual Road Crew Day! A few of us are planning on running Portal Under the Stars tournament style on or around May 16 online in lieu of the original DCC Day. We're having an organization meet on discord on Saturday May 9 @ 1:00pm CST. Anyone interested is welcome to join us over on the o...

Ach, my bad. I misread it as being about Luck burn, not the Luck mod. I haven't been adding Luck mod to anything except tables where specified (fumble, mercurial magic, etc.).

I had always thought Luck didn't apply to spellcasting, as spellcasters already have Spellburn, but then I played in a few games run by Goodman Judges and they allowed Luck for spellchecks. I thought I had read somewhere that it was a typo but can't find it. Maybe check the errata? Is there an errat...

Update: to make it more accessible to all Road Crew judges, we've decided to run the classic Portal Under the Stars! That way everyone has access to the module (either in their hands or the PDF). Join the discussion either here or on the official GG Discord server (this is NOT an official GG event, ...

Great! A few of us have been discussing on the GG discord server (#road-crew-discussion channel). So far we've decided to run Frozen in Time with level-1 PCs and create a scoring sheet to run it as a team competition. Questions and ideas are being gathered at this stage so anyone is welcome to join ...

The Illuminating Ankh nods to Mercer. "As I too would've suggested, we should've gone East." Shifty notes the gleam in Beezel's eyes and gives a wolfish grin in return. "We're paid by the pound, eh? That there 'ead is worth a whole lot 'o pounds." Alarmed, Shaky frowns at his bro...

So looks like DCC Day is moving to June. I had been planning on running something on May 16 at the local game store -- like many I'm sure -- but obviously we won't be able to. I'm still thinking of running something that day online, and thought: what if we road crew still "organized" (loos...

Catseye, you reveal yourself! haha! Thanks for the generous words. It was a fantastic playtest group and I thought it was a wonderful ending in spite of leaving empty handed. It felt very Vancian indeed and you played your character like a pro. I had been worried going in that the setting might be t...

Yeah, don't spoil too much. We didn't sign NDAs but if we reveal too much it'll not only spoil the reveal for Goodman but we might not be welcome at playtests anymore.

Shifty looked on with dismay at the enveloped flask of oil. "Waste o' a good flask, ain't it just. Sorry, friend," he said to Zend. At the others' suggestions and seeming consensus of heading south, Shifty retook his position on the sword and looked to his smarter brother for guidance. Sha...

By play-by-chat do you mean realtime? What's everyone else think: pbp here or chat on discord? I'm getting kind of busy with scheduled things, so this format works for me. But, I can adapt.

A tale of DCC Carcosa (Judge Julian Bernick) from Virtual Gary Con XII. Let's see how much I can recall... ----- Recording begins. This may be the last testament of Quetzl of Cestus III, left in case someone finds his body out here in the nothingness of space and wonders what it was doing here. Plea...

(Great write-up, Terry! Sounds like it was a blast.) Didn't run anything but played 7 games over 4 days. 5 games were some flavour of DCC. Highlights: Playing in Shadow of the Demon Lord with Danny Grimes. Not DCC but a fantastic GM (especially his giant snail voice) and a great group who might get ...

[ooc]Gary Con is over and I'm finally catching up with stuff. Onward![/ooc] Shifty blurts out: "Oi! With Sally off carrin' duty we ain't got enough hands 'ere to hoist this thing!" referring to the Sword of Striking-and-Who-Knows-What-Else. Shaky: "Hey,Shifty, you got a pretty good ar...

[ooc]Apologies for my prolonged absence but I'm still here! Just been busy. Just popping in to say hope you're all staying healthy and away from everyone else! @herself - I'm pretty sure Judge_Y and GnomeBoy know, but hopefully you know about VIrtual Gary Con, on right now, but if not, get yourself ...

I haven't run one outside of Lankhmar, but I'd think they'd work just fine. Setting doesn't really matter as the details are sketchy by design so you could substitute any large city for Lankhmar and any Patrons for those of Newhon. I'm wondering how much of the modules' designs considered the flow o...

Hail Brendan! To upload new pictures, use the "Attachments" tab below the editor and "Add files" -- or, as I just discovered, drag/drop them into the message box. To display online images, either use the "insert image" button above the editor or use the format: [ img]ur...

[ooc]No worries, Judge_Y! The world is getting a little insane right now. Good luck.[/ooc]

So far I've only run two: Masks of Lankhmar and No Small Crimes. Both were an absolute blast, though I had to trim stuff out to run them as 4-hour one-shots (and both still ran over 5 hours). I thought "Masks" was sword & sorcery style fun with good pacing, and it worked well as a good...

Shifty: "Whoot! Didja see that, didja?? High fives all round . "Should we git the other one?" He squints at the remaining blob. "Looks like it's got some stuff innit." Then he sees Sally step away: "What's wrong, lass?" The Illuminating Ankh's eyes widen at the dis...

[ooc]Apologies, forgot to say I'd be away a couple of days. There's no internet or cell service in the mountains...[/ooc] Shaky starts shaking at the sight before them of the skeletons and the globs. When Smythe suggests going back, he agrees: "Yeah, let's back up a bit," he says softly, j...

Shifty: "That don' soun' like any thunder I don 'eard afore."

Shaky: "Down the tunnel, then. Seems to be our only way forward."

[ooc]Marching order? Torch bearers first and then sword carriers? Or other way around?[/ooc]
