My understanding is the intent of crits are that they be natural. With the default case, only a nat 20 crits (not a modified roll to get 20); logically follows that only a nat 16 would crit in the Halfling's case and natural rolls in the expanded crit range for a Warrior. Allowing modified rolls to ...

Yeah, the Lankhmar map is fantastic. But details on specific buildings are left to the Judge. In the "Lankhmar: City Of the Black Toga" supplement there are descriptions of notable locations in each of the city's quarters, and there are a variety of tables for generating "unique neigh...

Shifty grins and cuffs Beezel in return. "Aye, les drop 'er and see whar she points." Shaky smiles at his brother and gives him a quick one-armed brotherly embrace, thumping him on the back. "That was close." Shifty has a sack, and had left an empty chest just off the platform th...

The Illuminating Ankh lives up to his name as he watches the head of the torch roll down to illuminate the oversized ant situation. "Oh, snap!" he blurts out, whether in regard to having broken his only torch, or being faced with 2 more advancing wolf-ants, one can't be sure. Spotting Smyt...

[ooc] Init: 12 To clarify: Shaky is by Sally and the bugs, Shifty grabbed on to help with the sword. Sorry for the confusingly similar names, but that's what you get with twins. :) And I almost got them backwards there myself... [/ooc] Shaky: "Yaiyy!" He lashes out with his torch, trying t...

Beadle Bailey Bramford: "So, anyway, there I was, when, ... gah AH AAHHHHHajgjrkasdjkklallk kkkkkkkk---" [ooc]First kill! Ach, I have to say I think he became my favorite of the four. Ah well. RIP good Beadle.[/ooc] Shifty, looking first at Beadle's gnawed-upon corpse, then at the sword: &...

[ooc] Sorry to hear it, Judge_Yossarian, hope you feel better soon! I did my best not to pass it around. :mrgreen: Init: 4+1 = 5 [/ooc] Shifty, who didn't really put that much effort into helping open the door: "Yai!" He leaps back at the sight of the mole things to create some distance, a...

Thanks, both. Yeah, I had been wondering if it was just a setting or module, or if it was indeed a full derivative. Intriguing. And the GaryCon listing is where I saw it listed. But then, I wondered how it'd be different than just running DCC with a bunch of sailors. I guess I'll have to play to fin...

[ooc]Thanks all, fort save made and on the mend today. btw @ManjoBean - I love what you're doing with Quillback and Benedict.[/ooc] Beadle Bailey Bramford - "Wha--? Wait!" he yelled as he finally clued in to being left behind. He ran up to the three dragging the sword and gingerly tried to...

[ooc]Apologies, all. Been down with the flu the last couple of days. Will catch up when brainpower allows.[/ooc]

Beadle Bailey Bramford: "Well, my word, would you look at that? Would you look at that? He walked over to take a better look at the sword. "Would you look at that , eh?" Shaking his head, he mostly just kept repeating "Would you look at that?" in a voice filled with wonder, ...

Shifty and Shaky have a quick conference between themselves on the way down. At the bottom, they wait, blinking in the dark, until Dejah lights a torch. Shaky immediately heads to take a couple of torches from the wall and approaches Dejah with a polite "If'n you don't mind, milday" and wi...

Beadle Bailey Bramford: "Can I just say it is a pleasure to be here, milords. As I was just saying to my comrade here," and he gestures to some poor person standing next to him looking like they'd rather be elsewhere than next to the rambling Beadle, "I'm sure we have plenty of stalwa...

Hah, true! I've only run funnels, this will be my first as a player. But you're right; when the damage is 3d6, 4hp just isn't that many...

Hey, all. Looks like GnomeBoy got all the hit points. :D Allow me to introduce my four (from Purple Sorcerer): Shaky , Gambler, N, AC 10, hp 1, Str12 Ag9 Sta5-2 Pe9 In9 Lu9, ref 0, fort -2 will 0, Sign: Charmed House 17cp, dice, 10' chain, club +0 (1d4) and his twin brother Shifty , Smuggler, C, AC ...

I can likely do one post per day. No promises though.

I'd be interested if I had the time to commit! What are you thinking of for timing? Specific date & time or expected frequency?

If you contacted them by email, be patient: they have excellent customer service (I've always had a reply to questions) but sometimes you might have to wait a day or two for a response.

I've come across a reference to Bob Brinkman's "Skull & Crossbones Classics", described as the Golden Age of Piracy driven by DCC. Does anyone know what this is exactly? Is it a module? A setting? A complete DCC derivative (like Dark Trails)? Is it just DCC on ships? Searching has turn...

I'm not certain of the original intent, but for the Nehwonian Greater Corruption (p. 28 of Compendium) there are still some vicious results for low rolls (results 1 and 5, for example). So, a -2 isn't necessarily welcome. Haha! You're right, most of the results aren't that welcoming! :D In the spir...

Not sure if this is a typo, but it seems odd or I'm misinterpreting something. In DCC Lankhmar's "Compendium of Secret Knowledge", page 30, under "Black and White Magic" is the following: Black magicians are more prone to horrible corruption and roll on the next higher corruption...

Excellent write-up, NauticalSoup! These are the kinds of reports I tried to find before I started running DCC, and reminds me of the ones I've been doing for my games (and not publishing anywhere). In depth write-ups like these are great for introducing aspiring DCC judges to funnels and for giving ...

Heh, yeah, I never really considered that. Must be overthinking it.

One of my players pointed out the incongruity of the "staff" in the Weapons table. I presume "staff" is a typical "bo" or "quarterstaff" which are at least 6' long. The table does not indicate this is a two-handed weapon, but in my experience most staffs are o...

Moreover, I'm not really against doing something online, but I don't own a mic and I think that's a dealbreaker for a lot of people. In addition, I'm not really a super great typer. (If linking to other RPG sites isn't against forum policy, though I couldn't find one) If you're looking for collabor...
