... Otherwise, this offers some general guidelines for conversion: https://ravencrowking.blogspot.com/2013/06/conversions-to-dcc.html ... Thanks for that link! May I ask: could you briefly expand on this -- "(1) Watch Spellcasters: Remember the core rulebook says that NPCs need not play by the...

I couldn't find a token I liked for the phantoms of the Hobbs clan of Sour Spring Hollow (We play via Roll20), so I gave in and drew my own. I was going for a simple, bright, Scooby vibe that would show well when zoomed out from the Roll20 maps. .... This is cool. May be your first game art in 22+ ...

Very old thread! But I brought it up b/c I myself am loving the simple, implementable and cost-included counterspell option esp. as polished up by GnomeBoy. And, as a fairly newbie judge, it's an education to read through the discussion, debates, & comments. So a belated thanks to all y'all who ...

The Canine and Outlier class are also what attrected me to that Zine. But then I saw that their other zines/modules also look pretty cool. I can get the three Zines/modules in print from their site for $29 but it will be $25 shipping plus $1.99 handling fee... The "worst" is, they keep ch...

OK. A tiny part of me is worried that a response to my concern might be to Black-ify one of the women by slapping an afro on her, blinging her up with Amazonian armbands and pasting some creepy dude's face all over her abdomen so that his goatee drapes down between her legs. Which would be awful. So...

Thanks for replying And: fair enough.

Illustrative simplification:

Hot Women + Scary Monster = Cool! if you're a dude.
Sex + Violence = Vomit! if you're a chick.

@BanjoJohn: Thanks for writing out how you think of it: very helpful.

That is awesome! way to roll with it. & provide a fabulous model: I'm sort of intimidated by the open-table thing.

Road Crew 2021.

Really, guys?

This seems, I don't know, particularly tone-deaf so close in time to #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter?

The battle rages on, adrenaline is pumping through the blood of these poor peasants as horrible monsters try to kill and consume them. The heavy metal riffs reverb through the air as they scream loudly, stabbing wildly with their scissors and shovels into the entrails of these creatures to ensure t...

GnomeBoy's suggestion covers it easily & naturally. Especially if the players level up together at the table and can brainstorm together: the funnel will have given their characters exposure to fighting/sneaking/spellcasting/caprice of gods/etc. and shown them that mastering that stuff would be ...

Happy Mother's day to all y'all -- women, likers of women, people who have been known to have a mother or two in their time, anybody of any gender who loves folks & forges connections with them. My children are in my DCC campaign, which might position me to make hilarious but strangely insightfu...

I've been looking at Breaker Press Games' products. Unfortunately these are difficult to find in print (yet) and the shipping costs are quite steep when I order them straight from the publisher. They look really fun, though. I just had to link the Beaker Press page at Drivethru ; the "Rabid Do...

Thank you! haven't read your links, will do that now.
ETA: okay, sent it along Official Channels. Again: thanks.

Thanks @RavenCrowking & @GnomeBoy. Both y'all's resources are helping me build monsters for my campaign, and I really appreciate that they are free/pay-what-you-choose. GnomeBoy, let me say I'm esp. grateful for the alien/construct sheet 'cause I'm running a SciFi campaign and my brain gets stuc...

GnomeBoy, thanks so much! That's super helpful.

Core DCC book, pate 316, Table 7-2, "What is the price of spell knowledge?" for d10 result of 5: "Marrying an ugly daughter." Should be "Marrying an ugly son/daughter." Maybe if y'all had more cis women/gay dudes as test players or test judges you'd catch these? On the ...

Halloo, Dustin!

I could comment on many of your points, but the essence would be this: you're taking text which is meant to be evocative and treating it as being denotative. Just as the text in an Appendix N short story might *suggest* that someone experimenting with magic is tapping into forces bigger than they r...

hope raising this from the dead isn't too annoying to folks, but I'm reading through the older posts, came across this & wanted to say: thanks so much!

Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast books. ..... This (with your whole post) is food for thought. Thanks! Gormenghast wasn't on my mind at all 'til you brought it up. I included a nod to these in Curse of Mistwood. I haven't seen that one, and am off to track it down ... PS: whoo-hoo, found it here !

i am sorry if i came off as somewhat brusque. it seemed to me that OP is radical feminist and i wanted to pint out that: 1. you don't have to be one to be on target with the representation of women in art. 2. i won't and can't speak for doug except that he is decent and respectful as can be seen fr...

OP back again: just wanted to drop a line, after some time away dealing with various life stuff, to thank everyone for engaging with this & holding to your standards of decency & respect. And to thank Goodman Games for providing these forums to talk about all things DCC. PS -- "radical ...

I'm having a hard time getting a feel for the different magic types, and would be glad of any quick & dirty rules/guides/examples/pithy sayings that can clear my confusion. I have a hard time learning initial categories generally, so please do know that I'm not trying to be obtuse. It comes natu...
