Litzen, thank you for your kind reply. I think my original post may have seemed (been?) aggressive. Sigh. Not the intent; and I know that the artists work hard and I believe that they are good folk. I'm just wishing that I could prep for my game without the art right now. I'm feeling pretty raw and ...

As I'm working through a good amount of DCC material right now (newbie judge here!) I wanted to make a request. Going forward, would y'all who produce DCC art (and who don't do this already) consider bringing the gender balance to 50/50 in your artwork, and also matching the nudity/body realism in m...

Thanks, everyone for your help. The initial funnel (we're not through yet -- prob finish it Monday) went well, my players had fun, I see tons of room for improvement. @Raven_Crowking -- I will think about that. I'm still leaning toward some sort of Session 0, partly b/c the group is pretty big (7 pl...

Vort, thanks so much! Glad to have all the suggestions. We have now done the random-character distribution, and it turned out that all my current players have printers so e-mail worked fine (thanks for the heads-up on snail mail slowness). b/c at least one of my younger players really loves having s...

I'd like to be able to bring in tech-based causality, and am wondering what y'all suggest for base material (I am newbie). It seems like the MCC rulebook would be a good investment? and would give me some tech-/bio- ideas for contamination/failures of various sorts, plus artifacts and moving magic t...

Thanks! Agree that session 0 is prob. not going to be terrifically fun with 0-levels. So I'll table that idea and maybe air it out again after the funnel. I know this sounds fiddly, but I'm just stuck on it somehow ... RE character generation: at least one player doesn't have access to a printer. Ev...

Raven_Crowking & Vort: thx for your help. It is really helpful in a concrete way to conceive of the funnel/early campaign in terms of keeping to the Quick Start, and to think of scaffolding the "feel" of the game from a particular fiction base. Yay! These are actionable items. I <heart...

Hello! This query feels badly formulated to me, but I can't figure out how to clean it up, so here it is. I'm posting here 'cause I'd love feedback from judges & from players and this seems the best sub-forum. I'm hoping to run a DCC game (my first DCC, second RPG) in a couple of weeks. My gamin...

Raven_Crowking, thanks so much. That short list is quite helpful: I'm so scattered these days, and my usual approach to something like this isn't working -- it's too intuitive, and my head is too full of bees. I've played several sessions in a DCC campaign, so that helps; but my friend who ran the g...

Okay!

As in: the least one needs to know is more than anybody is willing to work for? or just me?

Thanks ahead of time for ideas & feedback. I'm wondering what is the Least I Need to Know (more or less) to DM through, say, a funnel? And/or a set of Things to Do to Get There, knowledge-wise. I'm pretty newbie on the DMing & have only been RPGing about a year -- my boys & I picked up g...

Thanks, all y'all.

Hi! I'm a very wet-behind-the ears judge/DM (have run 1 D&D game, no DCC) and am trying to figure out if I'll run a DCC campaign for my group. I'm looking at DCC b/c a good friend in the group has run DCC but hasn't been able to play in it, 'cause nobody else in our group runs it. And I want to ...
