Happy to hear that the temptation proved too strong to resist, even if it took years!

If you have any questions at all, the forum is a good place to ask them...

So the Lankhmar boxed set KS was well before my time, I am the guy that's punching the buttons on BackerKit currently... BackerKit has many points where the project manager can click a box that says "I'm done with this step" -- which is completely independent from whether you've done it or not. It m...

That's an amazing story. Welcome to the community!

Where're you going after Doom?

First thing I always ask when I hear that the Thief in the party is not measuring up -- how easy do you make it to get into position for a Backstab? I try to be as generous as possible when allowing a sneak silent check or other events going on in the melee to allow the thief a Backstab attempt. Som...

I still think I might skip the extra roll if it's a one shot with new players just to encourage creativity. I know... I'm too nice. :lol: Oh, a one-shot is muchly a different animal... I once had someone in a one-shot spout off a rule about lost spells so convincingly I just went with it, even thou...

Is a "funnel sheet" that same thing as a 0-level character sheet?

Again, there's no flat rule I employ -- depends on the nature of the 'secretness' of the door. Is it just hidden behind a curtain? Is it magically camouflaged? Is it a bookcase that spins? These are all different effects that different people might have different aptitudes for detecting...

I actually rule it the other way, that you have to throw it with an attack roll. Because you can hurl it, but you don't have to hurl it, you could do something else with it (like, use it to stop a door from completely closing or something). If you could somehow "telekinetically" make it fly unerring...

I guess the other option is to re-skin the flying chaos monkeys into being trained ravens or or the like. But if you haven't already, I'd suggest you look at Moon Slaves of the Cannibal Kingdom, which sketches out ties to 10 or 12 other adventures, perhaps existing within that sought-after area betw...

Maybe some of the Fifth Edition Fantasy adventures? Less over the top, maybe...

I can't think of any non-over the top DCC adventures, since that's kind of the signature style. Might need to look at adventures for OSR games to convert.

I don't necessarily follow strict boundaries between "divine" magic and "arcane" magic, myself.

Nor do I in play.

Life in Terra A.D. is harsh.

Radburn can remove a mutation (including defects) on a 1, and give you a new mutation on a 20. The "economy" of the game is change...

I had a question earlier in the thread about the "reset" time... Like, does spellburn reset between adventures? If so, that makes spellburn MUCH more potent and has less of a limiting factor than intended.

Are there dependable gaps of time between adventures in which to recover from spellburn?

It's talking about a natural 1 on the die, a.k.a. a fumble.

The word is that each print run is a one-time thing, just like old-timey pulp mags originally.

Get 'em while you can, or forever haunt the aftermarket...

All good ideas, however: There is a "Welcome/Get To Know People" topic, here: http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=40073&hilit=welcome The DCC RPG Community section is for talk about finding players and Judges, and events in general: http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/viewforum....

It's deeper in the stat block. They're harder to hit at range, but easier to hit in melee. I'm not sure why appearing as a skeleton, but not being a skeleton would make you easier to hit -- unless the concept is "you're aiming for the skeleton, and you might miss the skeleton -- but then hit the inv...

You mean the Horror line?

Same rules. So, homerule horror all you want... ; )

'Obbits don't even have any particular ability with Finding or Removing Traps...

And the d14 and d16 are viable alternatives for skill checks, too, if the circumstances seem right.

Patrons aren't listed with an alignment, so I'd think it shouldn't be a conflict... They are generally presented as placing their achievements and goals above all else, so if you are willing to help them, why would they turn you away?

Well, that's the split, isn't it -- are you adding Luck to the *die* or are you adding Luck to the *roll*...

...the only one I know of that was denied was attempting to change the Deed die to be a success when it was a failure.

Rightly so, IMO.

It's a prime ability of the Thief (and the Halfling) do that sort of thing. I just played a Thief in a game at Bride of Cyclops and I was pretty sure the damage dealt with a hit was *close* to taking down my target, so I burnt 1 Luck to push it up -- totally did the trick! Making Crits worse is fair...

Well, yeah, crickets... We don't know when there will be more Lankhmar stuff until it's announced.
