Re: Campaign Pitch to my players

And a bit of foreshadowing for the next adventures... Nte the players were exploring Stonehelll using AD&D 1E rules before we switched over to DCC. I am trying to maintain some continuity... :? We currently have 2 Wizards, a Fighter, a thief, and i think a cleric is about to join them, leveling...

Re: Campaign Pitch to my players

For those that may be interested our little group now has a few DCC delves under their belt. We have decided to keep the whole Druid thing as Fluff only (ie, no mechanics). Learning the this new system is enough for us ATM! Portal under the Stars. Where a group of villagers attempt to solve an ancie...

Re: Fighter Trumps Dwarf Fighter

Perhaps the shield bash dice and deed dice can still be rolled, but instead of d3 damage, it's d3 to your AC vs next attack? That keeps the mechanics the same but switches to sturdy defence suiting dwarves. And maintains the extra Deed chance.
Just a thought....

Character funnel survived, now what?

My players recently completed Portal under the Stars, and had 3 survivors after the second attempt. These 3 have leveled up, and we now have a Fighter, Thief and a Wizard, split among two players ( ie one player has 2 of the PCs). This is still not enough for a party in DCC, as I am learning, so I h...

Re: Campaign Pitch to my players

TBH, the two different approaches you mention are what I'm wrestling with at the moment.. To codify the "mystic Druids" with mechanics in the game, or keeping them as a metagame "fluff" justification for mixing player v character knowledge and multiple PCs. My players haven't rea...

Re: Campaign Pitch to my players

Thanks Skyscraper! The PC "Druids" are not characters per se, they represent the players and the player knowledge that accumulates. It's really a conceit to explain away metagaming player/ Character knowledge. And provides something a bit different. The game, I hope, will play as normal wi...

Re: Campaign Pitch to my players

I'm leaning towards no mechanics myself. I always forget to implement my own house rules anyway :roll: Spoilers? I was running the Portal under the stars, and after the first batch of o lvlers got toasted in room 3 (they thought safety in numbers and ran across the room in one big group.), the playe...

Campaign Pitch to my players

To The Players: You are a member of the Grand Order of Druids, the Obad-Hai, an ancient sect tasked with holding back the excesses of deities and their followers of both Law and Chaos. The Arch-Paladins devoted to The Mistress of the Lake are as much a threat as the foul sorcerers of Sezrekan, the b...
