Really? You made a luck check by 5?? Well, ok. So you stand amongst the smoldering rubble of the hillside, dead companions strewn about you. Once this was a semi-peaceful fiefdom, found dotted along this coast of what you are now told is the “world” of Aereth. Damned void-men. You try desperately no...

A Halloween gift from our game table to yours, especially for you parents out there: In the costume selection process for my boys, one in particular caught the eye of my 8 year old. He picked it out, tried it on, and went with it. "I'm un-dead daddy, check it out. All the other skeletons stop a...

We sure did! =) Sunday was the day where folks decided to pick up some copies of the rules. Once I ran all the numbers and filed my notes; I noted that the majority of the folks who played or visited the booth were already DCC fans - already owning books.(Which is awesome!) The minority of RPG fans ...

A great time was had in Hudson, OH as DCC and other Goodman Games products made a splash at this unique con a few days ago - organized by a kind and generous host, Andy Hopp A gigantic and endless thank you to all the new and existing DCC fans who stopped by to chat,...

Another note, and I mention it here just to avoid confusion (prior cross post from G+ already partially mentioned) - there was also a session of Elzemon & The Blood Drinking Box in the registration schedule on the con's side. I went ahead and asked the con staff remove this from their system. El...

I will also be running some DCC at GrandCon next month if you'd like to coordinate games there also. R...

We had a gore-filled, awesome hackfest here in Kalamazoo! Thanks to Michael Curtis for an excellent module; and to our venue – Odyssey Games – who dealt with all of the cursing and screaming that comes with an awesome adventure. We had an excellent group of seasoned veteran players again, making wis...

Just excellent! Love the artwork and the magnetic initiative tracker built in! Great idea!

I guess all it took was talking about the legalities of mail fraud, and he had a proxy make a statement?

Yeah it was late for me when I wrote that post; I admit I was speaking too generally.

So long as you're intending that those with a high Luck will be getting an even easier deal by getting the benefit of their modifier, and those with a really low Luck will be getting penalized by their low modifier, all is well. Generally, I'd think (for example) that someone needing a 5 or less to...

BTW, Can we get a shirt like the one Harley wears in the KS video? That is last year's Gen Con tee and it's sold out. But we will have another one for Gen Con this year. Hmm, maybe we should do a Purple Planet tee? Might I suggest a rendering by Doug Kovacs depicting the Shudder Mountains - where t...

I think it is setup correctly, how patrons are basically an evil, malevolent, or insidious source of black magic. As the magic is decribed, there are many kind of magic, most are like this. It does touch upon a fairer kind of magic, but I think those are usually independent hedge wizards that are lo...

The way I always took this class ability is that it has 2 parts, it has only come up a couple times in my games. 1. Making an actual luck check, he doubles his modifier or any special/situational modifier for rolling under his luck. (eg potential -4 for a +2 bonus situational modifier) 2. For luck b...

Just stumbled upon this thread. I was actually kicking around a similar concept, but it kind of diverges from the classic game feel and embraces more of the dice chain. I was going through a couple of old weapons books put out long ago, and used to love the variety of weapons back in the day. So, my...

This would almost fall under mail fraud, or FBI jurisdiction:

or at the very least report him to the better business bureau for help.

Aww yeah! Couldn't give $75 away fast enough to back one of the best DM's i've had since I started playing RPG's in 1987.

2 down 4 to go!

Depending on the skill, I give a nat 20 an auto success. If it's a strength based skill for instance, like rope use or hauling someone up a rope - I give it to them and say "you tapped your inner strength" or "you used muscles you never knew you had", etc. If it is a specific hig...
