Personally, I think that That Hideous Strength is compelling. Do you think it fits in well with Appendix N? I personally think not, while Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra feel Appendix N to me. I'm being hopelessly subjective here. :mrgreen: I agree with you both. I found That Hideous Streng...

Without reduction of movement ?
So i can move+draw a weapon and attack in the same turn ?

Correct.

But i do not understand how it's works ?

Example: If you are moving, you can draw a weapon while doing so.

Personally, I think that That Hideous Strength is compelling.

I would be interested. I am not sure what your email is, but mine is dbishop at danieljbishop dot ca.

Incredibly thorough post, Raven. There's a lot to chew on in there. //H Thanks! I am now in the process of putting theory into action, and am working on an introductory DCC RPG adventure that may well end with me asking to see the 3pp license. Or just submit it to one of the many fine 3pp already s...

I'd make sure the companion has at least one less hit die than the "master" PC. Other than that, I like it. The elf in my group tamed a wolf last night, so I'll be putting it to use. That's not a bad idea, but I would increase the hit dice from 0-lvl to 1st lvl in the event that the creat...

Having a better look at the DCC RPG Core Rulebook, I have given a lot of consideration of what constitutes a great starting adventure. My thoughts are here, and I would appreciate some feedback:

First significant house rule: GOLDEN LION RULE: (Named for Jad-Bal-Ja in the Tarzan series): For important pets and animal companions, each time the owner levels, the creature gains a new hit die of the same type. Note that the Judge has final say as to what is a significant animal, but it generally...

Logo needs to be bigger.

As the Judge, it is absolutely your call how this rule is interpreted and implemented. Posting to this forum was meant only to provoke a discussion about how other potential Judges might interpret and implement the same. I intended no offense. LONG ASIDE WARNING: I was more concerned than offended....

"Once a character is engaged in melee, he cannot back away without opening himself up to attack. If a character or monster withdraws from an active melee – whether to retreat, move to a new position, or attempt some action – his opponents immediately receive a single free attack." Imagine...

I think "Withdraw" in this instance is any movement in combat, period. It lists retreat as a act distinct from moving to a new position in combat. I'm interpreting it as similar to an attack of opportunity. Enemies move past the character more than one square, and they are technically rea...

OK, first off, so long as you are figuring out what has happened, and what the villains are doing, you are not railroading. Railroading is deciding what the PCs will do with what you hand them, which is not in your control (nor should it be). Holmes didn't solve all his cases, and if your PC fails t...

From my understanding, Cthulhu cultists may be evil, but Cthulhu himself is simply uncaring.

In playtests, I've found elves to be humbled by armor penalties in a lovely, lovely way. I actually had a 3 hp elf stripping before going into combat so that he didn't take the armor penalty to his spellcasting. Armor + Spells may look sexy on paper, but it is challenging to pull off with a high de...

An interesting take on languages can be found in Burroughs' Mars series. On Barsoom there is a single common spoken language but each city has its own written language. Not very realistic from a historical Earth standpoint, but kind of neat for a fantasy world. This get rid of the "we hit town...

Those are some great posts.

This product might be adaptable for "Modern man encounters fantasy world" scenarios, from the sounds of it. That would be a very good thing!

http://www.unseenservant.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=523 I am looking to start a pbp game, exploring the Barrowmaze using the Dungeon Crawl Classics rules by Goodman Games.

Just a quick question, esp. to those who have done more playtesting in the Beta. I really like the 0-lvl funnel, but I am curious what the design idea is for when part of a party dies (as will happen!) -- are new characters brought in at 0-lvl? Does the player make 4 nobodies, or is he intended to c...
