Goodman Games

3) You keep the same deed result throughout the round, no rerolling Correct, if what you mean is "keep the same number for the attack bonus, the damage boost, and for determining if the Deed is successful." If you get two attacks per round, you re-roll the die. There is no ability to pred...

20 is what I consider a maximum for any funnel I've ever run. That many zeroes and they start to get brash and can sometimes just overpower obstacles in a way that is distinctly un-Funnel-like. I'd give them five each, and if you're doing Sailors, let them top up to no more than 4 each at the 'resto...

It'll be in general release, too. But you can try to reach out directly and see if you can be added in as a late-backer...

They want to return to the village and regroup. This is why I've always framed it as "you have too much to lose, or nothing left to lose -- that's why you're venturing to see who you can save and if you can stop this recurring threat". Any delay means more abductions, more loss of life. T...

One Deed per attack, rerolled for each attack.

Lovecraft has many going in, and one disbelieved raving madman coming out — Petersonian leveling!

Just FYI, this is the Fan Forums -- while the authors and artists do swing by here occasionally, it is a very bad way to try to reach the company directly, especially about something like this. The info@ email is the best way to reach the company. It may be that there is no update to report back to ...

What board games would you most want to share...?

I am firmly in the camp of not spreading Deeds around. It's not that other Classes and NPCs can't attempt to trip opponents, disarm opponents, etc. -- it's that they can't do it along with damage. They choose either/or -- the Warrior and the Dwarf can deal damage AND perform stunts/swashbuckling/etc...

Please stop denigrating my friends. Thank you.

The downside, of course, is that Goodman Games will only invest a certain amount of resources to the Lankhmar IP, so if they are producing more 5E Lankhmar that means probably less DCC Lankhmar. :( There are separate 5e and DCC creative teams, so I don't imagine it actually slows anything down -- i...

My personal take with this kind of thing is to let it be heavily influenced by the context -- the situation being addressed when cast, past of the Wizard doing the casting, the beings affected, the locale, whatever jumps out at me as important in relation to the spell. A rule doesn't need to mean th...

Yeah, it'd be down to what it says it does.

I can easily imagine (and have employed) 'magic armor' where the magic part is that it doesn't have a check penalty or doesn't slow you down, but does NOT provide any better AC.

I can't think of a case in anything I've run or played in where the polytheism was particularly important (I maintain it more to give players the option that they prefer for the character's deity). I know I don't put too much emphasis on Alignment in DCC or in D&D if/when I'm playing that (the m...

I'd be happy to make suggestions, but it's difficult to be specific. Rather than working off of simply "a lot of tables in the game that make references to things that make us uncomfortable", maybe quote a two or three results that are undesirable, and we can suggest on those specifically....

Maybe I haven't been clear on where my camp is... I think it makes sense when it makes sense, and doesn't make sense when it doesn't make sense. " Mr. Wizard , HEELLPPP!!" is different than being invested with something/power and doing it yourself, and that differentiation between Wizards ...

Can't say I was trying to flatter anything nor anybody...

...Or is Invoke Patron actually invoking the Patron to step in and offer assistance, as the term implies...?

I'm not saying anyone has to define it that way, but if you do then Mercurial effects may make less sense.

Yeah, if only D&D 1974 hadn't used the word Level for like 5 different things...

Should they have them at all, since they are channeled directly from the Patron, a being a vastly superior knowledge and skill? If invoking your patron has it, I would think these would as well... So my point is that power loaned from the Patron maybe doesn't have Mercurial at all. It makes sense, ...

Yep. +1 to AC and an increased fumble die -- so maybe not no problems, but not too many problems...?

Prior to 66.5, the modules were written for the then current version of D&D (3e, 3.5e, 4e).

Many have run D&D modules under DCC, but the big adjustment is that 2 levels of D&D is 1 Level of DCC, i.e., if it's an 8th Level D&D module, you'd run it for 4th Level DCC characters...

I don't know the answer, but it may vary from game to game.

I'd be pretty sure the tournament won't, but others it might be down to the Judge running the game...

I don't believe so.
