Re: Hubris: A World of Visceral Adventure has arrived!

I read that this book includes an Alchemist class. How does an Alchemist differ from the standard wizard? My hope is that it is similar to the Arnesonian magic-using class from D. H. Boggs' Dragons at Dawn . In that system, the magic-user can cast 3 spells as-needed (with a risk of exhaustion) but f...

DCC Annual: Content Wish List

I didn't find a topic like this using the search function so here goes. What would you like to see in the DCC Annual? Off the top of my head, I would like: 1) Bard 2) Ranger 3) Monk 4) Tunnels & Trolls style Rogue 5) Enough spells to make some specialist wizards 6) Wizard Variants not just with ...

Re: Need to give character a STD

Syphilis would take a while to actually kill the character although the various possible symptoms leading up to madness and death might be interesting. Then again, role playing Tabes Dorsalis might be boring. Actually, any real world STD might be a little dull in a fantasy game. I thinks some exotic...

Re: ANOTHER Mystic Class - unfinished

Nice work! Hit points seem a little light for something that will probably be expected to do a fair bit of fighting. :D FWIW: I've been working on a class like this one recently, but mine is a sub-set of the warrior class and focuses more on the Martial arts and chi magic so maybe that is coloring ...

Re: ANOTHER Mystic Class - unfinished

I was struggling with that when I lost steam. The basic idea was the mystic could send a person on a difficult but achievable and dangerous but not immediately fatal errand. I hadn't settled on mechanics (mystic rolls attempt and victim rolls save, mystic rolls attempt and no save, or mystic just pr...

ANOTHER Mystic Class - unfinished

NOTE: this is a derivative work. It combines bits of RC D&D, AD&D, Hackmaster 4th Ed, and probably others I don't remember right now. In DCC alignment has interesting implications and I wanted to reflect that in this class (pastiche as it is). Alignment determines the type of Mystic a charac...

Re: Killing the Cleric (and a few others)

Why not just play the Thief as-is, and allow him a steady stream of scrolls to read? You could even allow him to burn luck on reading scrolls, making him a very competent magician (even without spell burn). Alternately, let him memorize one spell per day and cast with his Read Scroll die? There are...

Re: DCC RPG- having problems getting it to work for me/us.

Everyone seems to be searching for that holy grail game which incorporates simplicity and a streamlined ruleset. It already exists and we've already played it a million times. Basic D&D is about as basic an RPG can get and streamlined without resorting to just flipping a coin. Tunnels and Troll...

Re: DCC RPG- having problems getting it to work for me/us.

I would like to present two related thoughts. First, the difference in game design is that risk/benefit has been changed from a relatively fixed proportion to random and highly variable in certain areas. This changes the way you play. Slot machines that pay more also cost more so you might be more h...

Re: DCC RPG- having problems getting it to work for me/us.

Lots of good observations and advice here. There are any number of ways you could proceed. I agree that Castles and Crusades is an easy system. I also recommend Tunnels and Trolls if you want fast . Palladium Fantasy 1st edition is also decent. Other good ones include: Dragons at Dawn by D.H. Boggs ...

Re: DCC Alignment question

My impression of the works from Appendix N that I have read is that Good/Evil distinctions are of less importance than, say, in Tolkien which was quite downplayed by Gygax as an influence anyway. At any rate, there are other systems that can be substituted or added if you find the current alignment ...

This sounds really interesting. Aside from monsters, spells, and magic items will there be any other crunchy bits like retro variant classes? (I've been dying for a more thieving Thief.)
