This comes up fairly regularly.

The license with WotC does not allow any electronic versions.

My guess is that they want you to buy the classic PDFs from them, and use those.

IMO, the Backstab is a single attack. Thieves eventually get two Action Dice, but the way the Backstab ability is phrased, it sounds like there's only one attack at a time that's a Backstab. With dual weapon fighting, I'd ask the player to declare which die or which roll includes the Backstab bonus ...

It seems to me that if the game was purposely designed to only allow one Deed per round, regardless of however many attacks a Dwarf or Warrior could deal in a round, the rules would specifically say "You get one Deed per round, period." This I cannot find in the book. They do say "before any attack"...

The Fifth Edition Fantasy line is in support of 5th Edition D&D.

DCC RPG is it's own game, not part of any edition of D&D.

You could adapt adventures from one system to the other, and many folks do exactly that, but they are not identical in their mechanics.

...would snap back into his calf not his thigh.

Good call. I knew that was wrong, but never thought to point it out here!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I concur about decency and respect.

Welcome, TreverT!

Goodman Games has only just recently started rolling things out on VTTs, so there will be more Roll20 content to come...

I dig the art. You should certainly look into the Gongfarmer's Almanac, if you want to share art with the community... http://gongfarmersalmanac.com/

Another interpretation is that using a shield (alone) means you have a d8 Fumble Die. As spelled out on page 79, carrying a shield as your only armor is considered "light" armor, and uses the same fumble die as other light armor types. If you're wearing whatever kind of armor with a shield, you use ...

Cool! Pesky Wizards look out!

You have the right idea with your "magic flashlight". The key there is that it's said to emanate from the holy symbol...

The utility of the spell would be extremely limited if it lasted for 20 minutes, but it was locked in one spot!

I've always taken the idea of feminism being that women should be treated equally. Anyone can subscribe to that notion, so anyone can be feminist. But then, my understanding of the term stems from the 70s and 80s, and I have seen terms shift in their meaning without me noticing. So I may still be th...

I didn't pre-order, so I have no idea...

I'd suggest e-mailing the info@ address to get a definitive word on that.

Pre-orders have been going out, not sure what day they started shipping, but folks have started to receive them, based on posts in the socials...

Doing fine here. Hope you all are, well, well as well.

Glad to hear it went well!

Promoting your event is a crucial step to qualifying for swag, and the events page is the primary way to do that... but having them in the TTE page for DCCDO is probably sufficient, as that was a pretty big promotion overall. Contacting the company directly is probably the best way to find out: info...

20+ days since it was anyone other than you and I, Fenris... whaddaya think?

1. How the heck do I make the yetis easily distinguishable for my characters? I figure 2-5 need real personalities + names. Names for everybody, though? T-shirts with numbers on them??? So, maybe 2 or 3 are "important" in some way that is needed to drive what you're doing. Give them names, and a li...

As fans, we all know as much as we know. We're waiting for more info...

Delays in local and worldwide shipping have been an issue in recent months and that may be a factor.

As it stands, the setting is anthologized... the Shudder Mountains, the Purple Planet, Lost Agartha, the Forlorn North...

Haven't heard of any plans to change that.

Oh, and it's the 8th PRINTING, not 8th edition.

Only one Edition of the game.

If I can't get a PDF this way then I will be force to purchase future DCC mods from the website thus sending the FLGS to ruin. All newly-printed products as of sometime last year have a code printed in the front to get a free PDF copy. So, keep on supporting that FLGS! If it's an older copy, it won...

I know there is a way to get this straightened out, but the fan forums are not the right path...

Just e-mail the company directly at their info@ address (goodman-games.com), and they will help you out, toot sweet.

I think the main intent is to cover new purchases of older material that was printed before the code-system came along! As a GG Con rep, it comes up since the code-system started... "If I buy this one, it comes with a PDF, but if I buy this one, it doesn't come with a PDF???" So covering a purchase ...

So MCC would give you some pre-prepared tech to play with... But it would do nothing in terms of "making magic into tech". The easiest thing is to be playing with the assumption that magic is tech. In general, playing a Wizard, the player doesn't have to have a detailed understanding of how magic ac...
