Re: Learning new languages for PCs

I included some simple rules in one of the CE Series adventures; I think it was Silent Nightfall.

The PDF of Prince Charming, Reanimator is PWYW on DriveThru.

Depending on the ages of your nephews, it may or may not hit the spot.

Re: .

I think in one of the Dying Earth books, some magician explains that the words and motions of a spell are not actually necessary, but a sort of aide memoire - but I can't recall exactly where, it may have been another book! Mercurial Magic does allow some casters to modify how specific spells are c...

Re: Elves of the fairy tradition or "normal" rpg elves ?

Page 21 has your Demi-Human abilities for the Funnel. The Funnel is an abstraction of the full game for ease of play, and the iron allergy is not an issue in the funnel. Choosing Mithril equipment comes later. Page 21: Demi-humans at level 0: Characters whose 0-level result includes a demi-human ra...

Re: summon / conjure elemental

Thank you ! I was just asking if this was virgin creative ground... I enjoy the exercise of creating in DCC (spells, gods, patrons) but it requires a lot of time (I'm slow and like to tweak my stuff). So I sometimes look at what has already been done to get ideas. If you have Empire of the East, th...

Re: House Rule: more than one Action Dice rolled to cast a single spell

Some things you might want to consider: 1. If a spell has a longer casting time than an Action (a round or more), it uses up both Action Dice anyway. 2, A spell check with a base roll of 14 is a lot less power than casting the spell once and gaining a +14 bonus. This would make that second Action Di...

Re: New Judge Here Question About Old Modules

Since we're talking old (pre-DCC RPG) modules, I would love to see DCC RPG conversions of all the old material! Seems like a low-effort move that would dramatically increase the amount of DCC RPG canon, especially for those of us who aren't as into Lankhmar and the other product lines that have bee...

Re: On the Subject of XP and multiple characters in DCC

So first funnel I ran, I awarded 11 XP to every character that survived -- the problem was, Rob had three surviving characters, Susan had one, and Ron had four ... it was chaotic, and unbalanced. Each player had surviving characters, so next time I did a funnel, gave each player 11 XP to divide as ...

Re: Death Checks - Halflings and Thieves

I let Halflings burn Luck at a 1-point-for-2 ratio, and the Lucky Halfling can do this for anyone. Roll under Luck means that, if you spend Luck, you change the number needed, but the Halfling 2-for-1 and the Thief Luck Die can get around this. Fleeting Luck can be spent on any part member, and can ...

Re: The Funnel Experience in Appendix N Fiction

It is a little known fact that Tolkien planned to run another campaign after LotR, once the main PCs retired. He ran a funnel called The Scouring of the Shire (all halflings). 19 halflings died in the funnel, which is about right for 6-7 players.

In Conan, for example, it seems to be implied that Conan certainly has been through his funnel in his times of enslavement (or was that only in the movie? My recollections of the stories are sketchy at best) - but that is largely off-screen. Is there a Conan "funnel story" or something th...

I actively like that a caster can use spellburn during downtime. That's easy to say, and looking from above it is very easy to agree. It's only if you're forced into specifics - which is what I'm trying to do here - it becomes awkward or painful to maintain that lofty stance. Dude, getting you to t...
