I'd like to play!

Re: Moorcock I've read alot of that. I'll pick up a paperback here and there so I've read some weird ones, but I'm not the hugest fan. Honestly, there's some classic ideas in there, but the books tends to be pretty homogoneous in their weirdness. That said, Elves in my campaign world are melnibonean...

Here's my review, though obviously you guys know I like the game. I'm gonna try to post play reports and homebrew stuff as it emerges.

Thanks for the game!

Oh, I've sailed the seas of fate, but in terms of rules it is a bit silly to drain XPs from monsters and npcs. Draining HDs? I dunno...

I like to use Warhammer as my default for my campaign world. What would need converting? I guess insanity rules... maybe that's modeled by lack of luck? Make magic weapons cause chaos mutations? That would be wild.

Rat Razor +1 Lawful Shortsword Sword smells Skaven within 100’ Sword detects Invisible 1/day, by sense of smell. Wielder is convinced Skaven exist, and can convince others of the truth of this unfounded rumour. Int 6, communicates with Inarticulate Urges, Moans and Groans Forged by dwarfs, with a po...

Hmm, I didn't see the lifedrainer. I gotta make a sword. That seems like a weird power for a PC's sword to have, useful for those frequent pvp battles I guess... I've never been a big fan of level drain mostly because you have to recalculate so much crap on the character street. I'd lean towards som...

I'm a fan of the permanent "feature" of Luck, bad or good. I see nothing wrong with it, and it really adds flavor. DCC RPG is really avoiding the whole super-hero aspect of modern gaming. Being permanently and forever unlucky with "initiative" or "a sword" is very flav...

Well, I'd probably be pretty lenient with a negative luck thing, though I can see it being a great role-play instigator! I guess I just see the Lucky Weapon and especially the Birth Augurs as varying too much in utility, kind of like feats in Type III-IV, with some being irrelevant to a particular c...

Its unlikely, but it happened twice in my game! Warriors were accidental munchkins!

Maybe they meant -1d?
But yeah, the rule is definitely there already.

"I'd find that annoying as a player" I hear that, but I found that 1st level characters weren't that fragile, and that the luck bonuses were combining to create characters with wild variation in ability at first level. For example: 16 str with a 17 luck and "add luck to melee attacks&...

This is my houserule for ability advancement. Roll d8 to allocate +1 to a random Ability Score (max 18) 1=STR; 2=DEX; 3=CON; 4=INT; 5=PERSONALITY; 6=LUCK; 7=ROLL TWICE; 8=Player Choice (Note that I also slowed down to hit bonus progression in my pre-final pdf document.) I like the idea of making the...

Sounds good to me! I've actually been ruling that the Lucky Weapon bonus doesn't stack with strength. It makes Lucky Weapon less of a big deal, but could be used to offset a low Dex for a ranged weapon. Another houserule I've made for Birth Augurs is that the bonus applies only once a session, so on...

I think -1 is too mild. And I like to avoid percentile dice in play, just cause.

The idea is that friendly fire hit on a 2 or 3 makes it is only one roll, and minimum damage mitigates the horror of an arrow to the back.

Mitigating horror is probably a mistake...

I'm not fond of rolling the 50% thing

"So how does level drain work in the new rules? Do you still lose experience points? Is there advice for giving XP for things other than monster-wraslin'? What's the deal with dragons? Ultimate enemy or mid-level pushovers?" -A guy on Classic Mods thread I don't see any level draining mons...

Ask and ye shall receive. Here's the barbarian class I made the other day. It features lower deed dice than the warrior but a huge spike for getting crazy, with a big come down afterwards. No lucky weapon, and, as I use carousing rules, they are easily overdo it. BARBARIAN Savage interlopers from th...

How 'bout you rule the Defensive maneuver gives the full Deed Dice roll benefit on a roll of 3 or 4 as long as you are not wearing armor?

I made this up this afternoon. I dig how dragons have some old rules I remember from the red box. The tables really got the creative juices flowing. Might turn this into a 1pg Dungeon. Anyone else wanna submit dragons they make, or demons? Dunzagron the Old Bronze Steamer, an Ill-Tempered Erudite Ch...

First word in "adomonitions" essay? "No, that's actually correct."I hight" is an ancient way of introducing yourself, especially if you were a knight or nobleman." -shadewest hmm... I didn't get that. But I dig the writing style in general. Other especially weird words ...

what is the first word of the "admonitions" paragraph?

Found it. It all makes sense now.

btw. That cover is so rad it should be the regular cover when you do a reprint. Make posters too.

Here's a houserule I've been using.


FIRING INTO MELEE: d16 to hit. A die roll of 2-4 hits an ally for minimum damage.

I saw that too. Its a little confusing. I dig it, but it could easily lead to the whole campaign being quests to find spells, which could be fun. Anyways, JG backtracks a bit and says the table might be best used for "fountains of knowledge" so I'd use it judiciously.
