Re: weapons and damage
If you want to talk "classic" weapons--all those you listed didn't exist in early editions of D&D. The weapons in DCC are very much reminiscent of those early editions. I have never played D&D although I know that system. I understand that DCC has the "flavor" of the old...

weapons and damage
hi all dear judges. I wonder why all weapons have basically the same damage. 1d4 OR 1d6 OR 1d8 OR 1d10 and there are no differences. for example 1d6-1 for an hammer, 1d6 for a mace, 1d6+1 for an hand axe could be more realistic (these are just examples). For missile weapons it's the same. Short bow,...

Re: In between DCC games with ideas for the next one.
So I'm working on next time we move over to DCC. I'm thinking of doing the following. No Thieves. Use the option from Crawl 1 and everyone can try thief skills. No Clerics- Some of the clerics spells move to Wizard ones. Hit Dice Pools from crawl 1- Everyone has extra pools of hit points they can u...

Re: The DCC RPG Economy. I think the prices are off.
I like the idea to figure 1cp = 1 $. BTW it's the same idea Steve Jackson had for his first RPG system, The Fantasy Trip in late '70s, although he used the equation 1 Silver coin = 1 Dollar. I also noticed the economic system in DCC does not work for the reason outlined above and some other that is ...

burning luck
at page 95 is finally cleared said that a PC can burn luck before OR after the roll. I cannot figure a case where could be a good option decide before the roll how much luck burn. the risk is it is not enough or it is too much. Is always better wait and decide after the roll. Am I missing something?

Re: clarification on Mighty Deeds of Arms
Assuming a Warrior rolls one d6 as deed die, a deed is successfull if he rolls 3 or better on the d6 AND he hits (pag. 88). This is clear enough. But what happens if the warrior hits the target but fails the deed (rolling 1 or 2 on the deed die?). It's a hit or a miss? I think the hit lands normall...

Re: clarification on Mighty Deeds of Arms
That's why there's a die roll. Also, if you don't declare one, you have a default one, so you're not slowing the game down every turn. I haven't noticed any problems like the ones speculated. Most of the time the Dwarf and Fighters in my group fight defensively by default and then when appropriate ...

Re: Character Sheet and examples of play

Character Sheet and examples of play
Continuing in the process of learning of the rules I noticed three things. - I have seen some examples on Internet, but it lacks an "official" Character sheet for game. Or at least I miss it. Is there a reason for this? - Reading the rules I feel there are not enough examples of play. Many...

Re: number of Charaters per Player
so, basically, if after the funnel I cut to ONE per player the Characters ( they can decide which survived zero level promote ) plus some hired cannon fodder it could work ? The thing I fear more, knowing my players and their habits, is that if they must control > 1 hero in a big party they could be...

number of Charaters per Player
I'm in the process to read the rules to set my first DCC campaign as DM, but I undestand there's a lot of material off the manual, here and elsewhere, really important to adjust the initial gaming parameters according the needs and the expectations of my players. So I read "in parallel" fo...

hi all1
hello I'm an old (is 45 old?) DM who played for years The Fantsy Trip (metagaming) and for less time Warhammer FRP , Runequest and GURPS. I was considering with my players to start a new campaign when I saw this new product. After a little reserch on BGG and elsewhere I decided it fits with my taste...
