So... I figured it's about time I introduced everyone to my next project. Liber Arcanum... which translates variously as "mysterious book," or "book of mysteries" and is written specifically to expand the number of spells available to the DCCRPG system and to provide the Storytel...

It's now on rpgnow! That means I get to go buy it now! Woot At the moment it's digital only, but I'm waiting for my proof copy from the printer that works with rpgnow... I was going to make an announcement after I got everything bundled properly. :wink: But the fact that it got noticed prior to my ...

@ Gameogre> Great post! If you don't mind, I think I will print that off and actually post it as part of the table rules for my next game. I've never really cared about folks rolling my dice, but the zocci dice are a bit pricy so I keep mine on a short leash. I would (after recent experiences) amend...

... Thank the Gods of Evil Nickers that laundry hadn't been done in a few days. ... Last but not least it was used at first as a shield during a deadly pickle ambush and then as a makeshift club to beat back and discourage things from erupting into a full blown food melee. ... Sigh, I feel less lik...

I think I've tried all of these options at some point, and they all work to varying degrees. I would add a cautionary note to the practice of rewarding players with XP for good Role Play. This was my practice until a few years ago. In the early systems where you needed millions of XP to get to the t...

So long as you're not selling it, you're probably making "Fair Use" of the material. It would depend on how much of the stat blocks and such that you've got included. If it's just references to page numbers in the books, then I'd be more confident than if you were reprinting entire stat b...

That sounds like at least six kinds of awesome -- kudos for putting in the work to put that together! Thanx, I wish I could share it on-line, but I suspect I'd be violating copyright law. :( Not to challenge the idea, but because I'm curious: Do the players know as much about real overland travel a...

@GB> While what you're saying makes a lot of sense, and if it works for you then... Great. And in a standard dungeon crawl, it's probably the better option. The way you describe it, yeah, there's not much point and it bogs things down... Unless your GM takes the time to set things up properly. But i...

Like cthulhudarren, I was having trouble figuring this out until I saw the examples posted, but what does the "ignore if... plate, chain, leather" thing mean? I'm guessing that's a reference to hvy., med., lt. armor. I'm also guessing that this means: if you're wearing plate you only get t...

@RC> Thanks for the kind words and wishes and return to you wishes for good luck in your endeavors as well. I'd also like to thank you for this: Dragon's Hoard Publishing is proud to support the Dungeon Crawl Classics role-playing game. To this purpose, the publisher and authors hereby grant permiss...

My print copy just arrived. I've been going over the pdf copy while waiting, and overall I impressed by the amount of work you've done. Not everything is to my taste (and I did not expect it to be), but the normal animal stats are definitely going to get use. There are too many PCs with ducks, cows...

Having made my reflex save to avoid snarfing tea onto my computer (thanx Gameogre) and having cleaned up the floor; I now have a chance to reply to the thread. :mrgreen: As much as I'd like to preserve the mystery, pragmatism usually wins out, and I let the players manage and narrate their own spell...

OK... first the easy stuff: I wanted to set up a bundle deal, but after repeated attempts and failures in trying to figure out how to sign up for Lulu's 'PDF' service I gave up. I shopped around, and most folks weren't set up to do print on demand, which meant that if I wanted to use their services ...

OH yeah...

And for anyone in the PDX/Vancouver area who may be interested, we'll be at the Guardian Games booth at Game Storm this year. Not sure which day yet, more details to follow.

!!NEWS FLASH!! “This is Phred Phreely with the Crystal View News Channel bringing you the news we think you need to know… eventually. We interrupt the semi-finals of the All Planes Wrestling League to bring you the latest on Critter-gate. We join our correspondent Frtiz Frelgerwunten in the field, l...

Here are some questions that arose during our regular campaign. As always, thanks for your insights! 1. Can the Halfling burn his Luck on the Wizard’s spell check? Seems like it to me, but wouldn’t that be much too powerful? Yes... but I'm not a big fan of regenerative luck, so in my games all char...

RC is right, constantly reanimating characters can cause death to lose its sting, but sometimes you need that dead character to carry the story forward to a critical moment. But I've always had a large number of folks interested in playing the 'necropolitan' template in the 3.5 edition. ---- Let the...

I'm a huge fan of Aereth and the DCC modules, but I'm not sure Aereth needs total re-boot... more like a re-tooling to fit the DCCRPG mechanics and most of that is with the gods, critters, and special equipment/spells/NPCs (GM's Guide Stuff). The thing to keep in mind IMO is: which part of the Appen...

Great! Have some cash on standby just for this product! Glad to hear it, and thanx for the support! Things are moving right along, the proof copy revealed a couple of layout changes that needed fixing. I'm waiting for a second proof copy that should be here on Monday. If it looks right then it will...

I used to play a lot of 1E WEG. I loved its ability to go back and forth between small encounters of a few individuals all the way out to planetary scale for those who wanted to play with really big toys. :D In fact, I still have the design schematics for a capital scale asteroid mining vessel calle...

Well... It's finished... sort of...:mrgreen: I don't have any ads in the back cause I forgot to send out emails last week, but I have left room in the back for a limited amount if anyone is interested. It's free... Just send your ad to us at cognitionpressworks@gmail.com. I've got one full page for ...

Hey folks the answer is very soon. We ran into some trouble near the end of the year. For the record, I was finished with the last edit of the manuscript by the 15th of December... then I got an e-mail saying that for reasons beyond anyone's control, the artist wouldn't be able to finish the project...

Right! Thank You Zargon! Thank you for reminding me to come up for air and let everyone know what's going on. :D Contrary to any prevailing rumors, neither I nor my project have been eaten by mutant wombats! To explain where we're at I should explain the process a bit. It works like this... I send o...

@ Zargon- Thanx for the support... and reminding me that I'm waaay past due for an update! :D As far as when we'll publish, well... the truth is I'm starting to develop a facial twitch when I hear the word 'deadline' or the phrase 'due date'. This is the first time I've ever tried to do anything lik...

Page 320 Patrons are not always gods. A patron can be any powerful supernatural creature. In fact they are usually demons, devils, and demi-gods, not full deities. To deign low enough to engage in compacts with mortals would not be flattering to a deity’s ego. Don't tell that to Perseus or Hercules...
