You mean do it basically as in D&D 3.5?

Instead of Max Spell level, the Wizard gets a pool of Spell dice. Yes, essentially, the "spells per day" chart becomes a dice pool from which the caster can cast his spells. Neat, but two (possibly unintended) consequences: 1) Players will know that d12's and d16's will most likely fail t...

I was just thinking about ways to muck with the spell system. I still think spells should not have levels. But that doesn't mean spell casters don't have spell level slots. What is all spells had various tiers of success and failure with "easy" spells starting at 10+ to succeed and harder ...

Sure, I can imagine lots of things I'd change. I'm sure non-d20 resolution (for attacks, saves, ability checks,etc) dice could be more prevalent in the book than they are now. Joseph introduced them for two weapon fighting and they could be so much more commonly used. I bet the word skills appears i...

Armless, legless knight (AC: 10, hp: 432, Atk: Bite (1d2), Spec Atk: Bleeds on you (no damage, just messy), Spec Atk: Taunt (DC 15 Wis check to not become enraged and attack knight))

Here's my version: When you level you can roll for self improvement Self-Improvement: ROLL d8 to determine a +1 to random ABILITY SCORE (MAX 18) 1=STR; 2=DEX; 3=CON; 4=INT; 5=PERSONALITY; 6=LUCK; 7=ROLL AGAIN; 8=Player Choice Don't you mean Roll d7, this DCCRPG we don't need to roll again when a sm...

Whatever the effect die roll was when the spell was cast.

If the DCCRPG hadn't come along I would probably just run my games from the on-line 3.5SRD... it has everything you need to run a 3.5 game. It's more portable, better organized than the books, and its FREE. :mrgreen: There is an equally free online Pathfinder SRD and Pathfinder does have some impro...

Tell them to trust you and then include "magic fountains" and such in your world where once you defeat the three demons guarding it, the fountain grants you ability score boosts if you sacrifice the right amount of gold. IOW, create a random table with good and bad effects and grant a bonu...

There was a system or setting from Green Ronin games whose name escapes me that was kind of interesting and probably better for use with DCCRPG. Instead of creating alignments for deities, create religions. Each religion might of itself be mono- or poly-theistic and large enough religions could even...

That, for the most part, is what drove me back to 1e, C&C, and now DCC. I want to run the game...not have the game run me! And overall, it just doesn't have to be that complicated. Statting out a high level MU or cleric in 1e is no easier than doing it 3.Xe in terms of the meat of the stat bloc...

It's the business model that WotC uses that keeps me from becoming interested and returning to official D&D. I hate planned obsolescence. They talk today about no longer having editions and updates. Not sure how they will handle that as a corporate entity, but the current designers are saying t...

Thieves can't expend luck to improve damage dice. They can only expend luck to improve their "chance" of success, aka d20 or d% rolls. For each point of Luck expended, he rolls one die, and applies that modifier to his roll. This bonus can be applied to thief skills where each +1 = +5%. Fo...

Anyway... I won't be sharing my work, since this is all someone else's IP with with my twists and turns. I'm assuming DCC won't be OGC. Funny, there's a copy of the OGL on page 160 of the beta PDF. So why wouldn't the DCC be OGC? Of course, it isn't exactly valid since it doesn't mention being deri...

If there was a duel between a Level 4 Fighter and a Level 4 Thief, I would put my money on the Thief. Isn't this the extreme opposite? Surely a level 4 fighter should best a level 4 thief? Yes, in a duel, facing one another 20 feet apart in a closed 30 foot square room underground: the thief is toa...

I can't believe namdoog and hpesoj (though I started with Eoj, myself) haven't been posted yet. Backwards spelled names are de rigeur in an old school game.






Namdoog isn't.... tooooo bad.

The cleric spells aren't as powerful/dangerous as the wizard spells.

I'm going to play with this and see how it works, but seemed to work great in Savage Worlds. In addition, it seemed to give the DM better control over what a spell actually does -- meaning the player (and the character) don't know what to expect. This is certainly much more Appendix N than baseline...

Things like this kill me that I'm not an official play tester. <sniff>

nudnic wrote:Since the spell roll is based on level the spell success gets higher for each level a character attains. This makes me think that spells themselves don't need levels.

Old idea. http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/vie ... 766#p39766

So would you call it C&CDCCRPG or DCCC&CRPG? The latter is nice because the & is in the middle.

And the pencil holder is pretty sweet, too!

I didn't notice the pencil holder. When I scrolled right I was mesmerized by the colorful mouse pad.

RE: The Artwork

Old school inked artwork done with actual ink. Outrageous!!

That's nice. I'm still very cool on the game as I've been the last few months. I'll wait to see it to see if I want to write anything for it. It's looking doubtful that I'll be doing anything for DCCRPG though.
