Goodman Games

Part 3 the finale Morning: The White Horse Tavern The party is gathered about the common room deciding who will be returning to the Emerald Enchanters lair when they are greeted by the welcome sight of Moep the Halfling. Feeling better after his bout with the foul Dungeon Ague. "I cannot rest u...

I totally dig Goodman Games' publishing plan of minimal rule updates and swarms of awesome modules. How are you, other players, developing a campaign around the awesome modules, though? Are your PCs just wandering from isolated town to isolated town encountering bizarre monsters? Is there a theme o...

On the healing thing, I've considered a system like Crypts & Things with hit points being less about physical damage and more about fatigue, getting battered and bashed, and otherwise being less effective, and Stamina representing actual physical damage. So, hit points come off first, then you ...

I know that with each failed spell check his chances of disapproval increase. You know what I was doing WRONG!!! We were only increasing the disapproval range initially if a natural "1" was rolled. Not increasing the range for EVERY failed roll!!! If it were a giant snake I'd be DEAD! We'...

I had an idea about running DCC as a Pulp Space Game. I not really fond of writing up tons of stuff so I was figuring how to do this the easiest and fastest way. My thoughts: Warriors are Space Warriors, don't change anything here except flavor text. Weapons stay the same with damage dice just flavo...

Still confused by this. Where can we get the downloadable PDF? Facebook only? Or is here on the Goodman site somewhere. I don't Facebook but had my wife like it from her Facebook.

This coming Friday the group will be returning the lair of the Emerald Enchanter. I am really wondering who will die next!?!

As always stop by the blog as there are other posts there pertaining to things happening in the game that may not be shown here.


LOVE DCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sally, Garrotte, Farhoud and Emily have set up a quick campsite just outside the main entrance of the Enchanters lair. The body of Bull Zi and the Emerald guardian that turned back to human are under a tarp. Alexander, Calis, Alan, Chi, Sven and Alex are just inside the entry hall checking out the i...

Very much appreciate the feedback. I suppose I am just wary of turning off gamers, but yes, so far the new players have taken to gaming like lightning. I ran them through Mentzer and they loved it. I was told it was the best time they had in gaming yet, and that is with a 2hp elf and a missed secre...

Recovering the body die rolls, which one do you guys use? #1 D20 vs. current Luck Stat at time of Death, roll equal to or less and you've been recovered. #2 Beat a DC21 on a D20 roll plus or minus your current Luck modifier to be recovered. I ask because I currently use #1 and I allow a "natura...

How and when do you reward Luck back to Players. I know what the rule book says, but I want to know how and when you've done it. The halflings and Thieves regenerate so those players haven't really suffered. But the other PC classes I have in game now are wondering. I have maybe rewarded about 5-6 p...

Can a cleric keep trying lay of hands untill the wounded character is healed? I know that with each failed spell check his chances of disproval increase. I think I know where you are going with this question. My players are rolling and rolling and rolling until wounded PC's are healed. They have be...

So we continued the foray into the Emerald Enchanter this past Friday (3/22) and the group suffered two more deaths! Unfortunatley, all the deaths so far belonged to the same player. He was a little depressed at first but now is looking forward to starting fresh. He is the newest to RPG's and feels ...

My group had 3 clerics in at the time, one of each alignment. I totally forgot only the lawful one would work and they "Turned" the be-jeezus out of that encounter. I'll remember if I run it again.

1. You may have been too easy on him, because you need to be 5th level, and have the 3rd level spell, Write Magic, to create scrolls (pg 364). But it's too late now, and it's best to consistent over judgement calls like that. 2. Good call. Keep it random, if he wants to purposely misfire, make him ...

Good advice all around. How do y'all specifically handle spellcasters in DCC? I have a ton of "I cast XYZ." It's so, so boring (and 3.x/4E canon). Maybe I'll start making the spell checks at -2 for "I cast XYZ" and normal for more descriptive? Or shift that up by 2... +2 for des...

I made a deal with my group. I told them I had this cool DCC rpg and I was going to DM. Just bring dice a pencil and yourself. I supplied blank zero level sheets, they rolled up their guys and BAM! At the end of the first session I said if they didn't have any fun I would not DM this again (knowing ...

Yeah, tentacle gets longer or bigger. Third eye becomes a fourth eye! etc.

So I have a single Wizard in the group. He is 2nd level, about halfway to third. We just started "The Emerald Enchanter" and he is drooling at the possibility of getting spells etc. 1) He recently asked me about his character being able to create his own scrolls of spells he already has. M...

I vote Stefan Poag.

I have my players roll in the open. Then so I am not monopolizing all the conversation I have them narrate how the spell manifests and what happens. I have them do the same thing with crits. I have found that this expands the narrative input to the players and allows them to feel special and involv...

It has been two weeks since the encounter with the undead at the manor. In that time much has happened. Tyrrian has fallen ill with a strange malady. The nuns fear evil humors have settled in his lungs. He is young and strong and all believe his recovery will be quick. Alex asks Bulls Zi to train th...

Finally, after many sessions of the players seeming rolling really good ALL the time. The dice turned on them. This last session was short, but we had a Death, failed save and failed recover the body rolls led to this. Spells were lost, Abilities were spell burned, luck was spent and we all LOVED ev...

I started running DCC late last year and my initial first choice was going to be Labyrinth Lord as well. I still love LL but I'm glad I made the switch. My group consists of 5 mid-to late 30's guys and my 10yr old daughter. Everyone LOVES DCC. The guys are veterans of D&D from 1st to 3.5 and 4th...
