Let me reiterate how amazing DCC works for this particular genre of role-playing (not sure what you'd call it; for the lack of an established term I'm calling it "Frazettan Sword & Sorcery") :) Initially my plan was to experience a funnel and then go back to one hero per player, with j...

Yes.

There's no "hidden" drawback to using armor. If you can live with a -0 penalty, go for it

if the DC to cast is 10 + (2x level), shouldn't a casting only succeed on 20 and above? You're thinking of "In general, your spell succeeds if your spell check is equal to or higher than a base DC of 10 + (2x spell level)" but this is merely a comment providing general insight. The actual...

You're welcome

I think these forums would be an excellent spot to share ideas and discuss issues!

(Either this thread or a new one)

I try to visit at least once a week now that I'm actively gamesmastering DCC.

Cheers!

I have ruled that attempting to make a missile attack when engaged in melee triggers a free attack from the monster(s). If a monster hits you this stops the missile attack from happening (it counts as a miss; you should be glad I don't have the monster ruin your missile weapon...) #saynotoLegolasNin...

I have simplified and streamlined the relevant rule in my campaign. When you fire into melee (and care about not hitting your friend) you take a -2d penalty to the attack, but a miss stays a miss. You can elect to fire indiscriminately (attack at no penalty) if you're prepared for a miss hitting a f...

The core rule in the rulebook has a very simple result: Nobody (that isn't truly desperate) ever fires into melee. Since most combat is against monsters engaged in melee (with you or your friends) this means DCC is a game where missile fire plays a rather small part. Sure you can have a campaign whe...

After concluding the scenario, my own feedback is that mostly, the very simple statblocks are very nice and easy to use. I would probably make a few more of the NPC magic-like abilities target an area/more PCs; do remember I'm running a troupe-style campaign where each character controls two heroes ...

A short summary: The adventure is over. After the initial sneak-around, the bulk of the heroes went room by room clearing out cultists (i.e. the southwestern part of the map). When they realized the Red Prophet lived in the south-eastern caverns they went there right away, and had a big fight. They ...

Since DCC is built using the d20 license, when in doubt revert to the d20 rule when DCC is silent on a particular matter. Which, in this case, is pretty much exactly what you are suggesting (skipping the boring bit where the aiding character needs to roll a 10 on his skill check): https://www.d20srd...

Obsidian Serpent huge +0 to initiative; +7 to everything else, AC 17 except AC 13 vs blunt/cold, 50 hp, 2 attacks: bite +7 for 2d10 plus swallow whole and tail +7 for 1d6 and 2d6 poison save DC 13 for half. Partial magic immunity (any save DCs are halved). Regenerates 1d6 per round +1 per swallowed...

ok, so has anyone scared up the thread by Mr. Goodman where he talks about this and clearly states one deed per round? Upthread someone referenced a post by Mr Goodman, but that was on the topic of "does 1d10+2 means all Deeds succeed since you always roll at least 3": https://www.goodman...

I have checked Modiphius and don't care for it. If there ever was a setting that is badly served by a lot of detailed rules and modifiers, Sword & Sorcery is it. A simple gonzo game like DCC would be VASTLY SUPERIOR to any of the previous attempts, whether they use one d20 or two, in my opinion....

Random stuff (in 27, Hidden Alchemy Lab). Each character gets to make a d14 + Luck modifier roll. Allow a character to choose the next lower undiscovered result in place of a duplicate. 0 or less. A bottle with wet mud. Suddenly, it shoots out of the bottle and onto your clothes and armor, which swi...

This link should get you pretty close to the Item Ego rules of old 3rd Edition D&D:

Table 8-5: Magic Sword Banes. Above the table on the page it says "Ego check = Opposed Int check against the bearer" Thank you! I was like "I'm searching the pdf and ego check pops up like five times!" Then I realized you might be talking about an earlier edition, and things has...

Thank you. While I am sad there is no official lost world / isle of dread / king kong-like official content for DCC, dropping D&D and switching over to a more lite and gonzo ruleset* was by far the best decision you have ever made, so we will chalk this up as the price of progress :) *) I have l...

Had our first session last night - went really great! :) The heroes split up (remember, each character can choose between 3 heroes) to investigate, including a few leads I didn't even think of above. Some heroes followed the (literally) dead end leads with the stupid merchant and wounded guard. One ...

Just to pop by to say: I will complete the conversion notes, just not done yet. :) Crimson Tear fumes (DC 10 Fortitude Save. Success unaffected; failure make DC 10 Will Save. Success means you become dazed for one hour; roll DC 8 Will Save or be surprised at the start of any combat. Failure means yo...

Given the topic and when the post was made, the discussion was of an adventure designed for D&D. I doubt Harley was referring to a series of adventures now on the horizon from SGP, which I think has only existed as a publisher for a year or two... He may have been referring to something that wa...

Is "The Valley Out of Time" what Harley was referring to already back then?

I wouldn't say any spell is OP - rather the opposite, that a lot of spells can be OP.

The point? Since DCC is a game where many things can become OP, stop worrying about things that are OP!

Cultists: Feral, covered in self-inflicted wounds, these men and women gibber and shriek as they throw themselves onto your swords.

(Hope this is in a suitable forum) These are my conversion notes of the level 3-5 module "The Red Prophet Rises" by Malrek and the Prince of Nothing, from the original "For Gold & Glory" ruleset, to my 8th printing of Dungeon Crawl Classics. On first blush, there's a heck of ...
