Re: Road Crew New York 2014: The Chaotic Overworld

We just had the final session of this campaign... Originally I thought a nice way to end it is to have the evil PC lead an army against the other PCs in a final war like what is going on in the Knights of the Dinner Table comic. But during the week I talked to some of the players, and they weren't i...

Re: Road Crew New York 2014: The Chaotic Overworld

We finished Baba Yaga, skipped a week, and then played again tonight. I think next week will be the final session. Final part of Baba Yaga: Short Version : They fought a DCC RPG hydra, which was very deadly. I handed out treasure from the Pathfinder Reign of Winter path, which is awesome and all abo...

Re: Road Crew New York 2014: The Chaotic Overworld

The past couple weeks in the epic World Tour 2014 have been taking place inside the legendary Baba Yaga's Hut. I converted the AD&D 1st edition Dragon Magazine adventure to DCC, only to realize that it is sorely lacking in detail. This was solved by using the material from the 4th edition D&...

Re: Road Crew New York 2014: The Chaotic Overworld

We finished The Slaughtergrid last night. Very good adventure! - DCC RPG monster stats are interesting. The PCs are 3rd and 4th level, and still I can get away with using monster stats from the 1st and 2nd level adventures. It's nice. So far there's been almost no "power creep" at all. Thi...

Re: Road Crew New York 2014: The Chaotic Overworld

Session 32 is in the books. We are continuing to make our way through The Slaughtergrid. - Maybe it's in there and I missed it, but the adventure doesn't take into account what happens to the monsters when they die. In this dungeon, when you die you are immediately reborn with a mutation. So what I ...

Re: Road Crew New York 2014: The Chaotic Overworld

We got through most of the second level of the Slaughtergrid tonight. Going in, I was a bit worried. The dungeon on paper looked a bit flat. Lots of rooms with kobolds or goblins or gnolls. I thought the players would get bored. I reserved the right to quietly start cutting the dull rooms and gettin...

Re: Road Crew New York 2014: The Chaotic Overworld

I wrote an article about The Croaking Fane here: http://thecampaign20xx.blogspot.com/2014/10/dungeon-crawl-classics-rpg-croaking-fane.html . I had bought a pdf full of monster called The Teratic Tome, as I figured it could be useful for DCC. The monsters ended up being a bit too gory and sexual for ...

We had to skip a week... I had a lot of real life work to do. We got back to the game on Monday. We finished The Croaking Fane and I ran a short scenario - a "wizard's convention". - Our heroes made their way into the room with the pool full of dreaming toad-men. A huge fight broke out and...

We played again on Monday. I will not make a blog post on this, as I don't think I have all that much to say! The big thing this week is that I brought in some new players. I met them at D&D Encounters the previous wednesday, thought they were cool, and finagled them into this game. It is a sort...

Re: Road Crew New York 2014: The Chaotic Overworld

We started The Sea Queen Escapes this week. As I prepared it, I really liked it. A dungeon in a giant turtle's shell... that is epic. I was worried the group would fly through the dungeons really quickly. I didn't have time to prepare the whole adventure and I wasn't sure how long what I had ready w...

I will definitely have them check out the crawler's companion. I forgot all about it! We got a lot less done than I thought we would this week. I figured we'd finish Fate's Fell Hand entirely, but we weren't even close. I like this adventure but I am still confused about a lot of things. This could ...

Pesky, Elzemon and The Blood-Drinking Box is a great adventure. My group enjoyed it as much or more than any other one we've played so far (they really loved The One Who Watches From Below, too). We had a new guy join this week who has never played an RPG before. He picked up on it pretty quick. It ...

It was interesting. The players have never rolled worse, ever. It was natural 1's all night long. But because t...

Re: Road Crew New York 2014: The Chaotic Overworld

As far as player tactics, for a very long time I took the attitude of "They will make this mistake and learn from it". But what I've found is... they never learn. They don't learn even when I point blank tell them what would have worked better. I have this kid in my Wednesday Encounters ga...

After a bit of a break we got back to the campaign last night. Last week, completely unsolicited, I received a bunch of World Tour stuff in the mail! It was awesome. I especially like the bookmarks (they have a "character sheet" on the back) and the stickers. I handed the stuff out last ni...
