Re: Weapons do D6/2D6

Big fan of this. What about adding tradeoffs to the mix. e.g., Daggers don't do a lot of damage, and you need to get close, but they're fast! Polearms have ranged but not real useful up close or for parry. Great weapons great for lots of damage but slow.

Removing the Cleric

Has anyone come up w/ a way without doing too much violence to the system to remove Clerics? For example, moving their spells to the Mage class or providing a second wind sort of thing.

Running a Level 0 Character

What can and can't level 0 characters do? Can they cast spells if they find a scroll for example?

Gods of Elric's World as Patrons

The Gods of Law and Chaos in Michael Moorcock's Elric books function a lot like patrons, and the Elric and Stormbringer RPG's from Chaosium had good bits about the kind of benefits (and penalties) you got for your allegiances. Has anyone converted them to DCC or done something similar?

Re: Getting Players to Buy Books/Dice

If one of my players spent $1 freely and of there own will on a rpg game that DIDN'T get drunk or eaten I would shoot them in the head scream out" alien invasion" and live the rest of my life knowing I was the Last of Us. Twenty years ago I thought one of my players once bought his own pl...

Thank you.

Just curious, is this normal now or do I just have an odd group of players?

Getting Players to Buy Books/Dice

The people I play with don't like to buy books, dice, etc. They expect that somehow I will provide them with what they need. This seems to be a more modern attitude, since up until the past couple of years it was normal for most players to buy at least the core book for a game. I would think this wo...

Re: Tone

I got the impression from (1) the comics and (2) the spellburn podcast. I like comic bits in my game, but I like to have serious parts too. I'd also like someone to do for Zocchi dice what they did for Fate Dice - there's a gagillion places to get those darn things now. I demand Zocchi dice at every...

Re: Tone

I actually thought what you said (thanks!). I ordered everything and the game is PERFECT. It comes off as a very cool Elric of Melnibone + Lamentations of the Flame Princess vibe! Someone HAS FINALLY MADE THE EXACT GAME I WANT.

Tone

The impression I get (somewhere) is that the game is geared to a comic tone. Am I right? If so, is there any way to not play it that way?
