If breaking down a door requires the same mechanics every time , then to large degree all doors are the same. Meanwhile, narratively, they are not -- so why not have a different mechanical requirement to bust them down...? But if your group has come out of playing, say, Pathfinder, then run the gam...

Well, I don't want to get bogged down by details right now, I am asking for principles and opinions based on people's judging styles. When I have a second revision of this project to offer up for suggestions, that woiuld be a good time to talk about the details of my intentions and goals. Basically,...

I didn't get back to replying after reading this thread a while back, but I found it all very useful. So, just following up to show that it was appreciated!

Hey all. I am looking for opinions on interpreting the DCC rules 'As Written' when so much of the manual implies things based on the tradition from which it is made. The manual assumes there is a familiarity with the d20 system, and it is a stripped-down version of d20 with its own extras and flavor...

@Raven_Crowking I hope so! It would be wild to hear that people are playing through my ideas and enjoying the ride. That's the goal, anyway!

@beermotor: I have never heard of Dwarf Fortress. It looks pretty bad-ass! I'm aiming for something a little less comprehensive, but definitely in the spirit for a pen and paper world-builder. As for the cleric write up: expect a pm later this week. I have the day off tomorrow and access to a comput...

Hey all. The last time I posted was about world creation. I have been slowly working through some algorithms for generating features of a campaign world from scratch using dice throws. That being said, I was thinking about how to approach creating deities from scratch, and that sent me on a big crea...

Thanks for picking up the drift of my gist, and not taking it as a negative. :wink: It certainly wasn't meant that way in the least. One more 2¢ thought: I've made charts with more outre results as options, where the "normal" results were say 1-6 and the 'bizarre' results were 7-8, or 7-1...

Thanks for the reply, Gnomeboy. I take your criticism to heart, and was thinking about just this thing today. I think that there will be negative modifiers to roll results on biomes and features where they differ from what is likely to have been formed "naturally" on earth. The caveat, tho...

Hi All, I wanted to build a complete world for myself, one that I could use as my standard campaign world. I was using some computer generated maps (fractal world creators), and when I finally got one I liked, I decided to find a hex map template that I liked. I found this: http://www.enworld.org/fo...

This has barely anything to do with your post. I just want to say how cool it is that you have a site dedicated to RPGs in Spanish and English.

Very cool thread about spellburn consequences.

I can see how the very notion defies a lot about what makes DCC about chance and risk, and also flies in the face of odds given for the chance to encounter "An immortal or demi-god- no longer mortal." A population Incidence of "2-3 per epoch" p.359 I wouldn't want a munchkin in m...

Thanks for your responses. Both were helpful. It isn't my intention to take a PC to a god-like level, necessarily. Though it could be fun to try. However, I am trying to dope out for myself what kinds of mechanics I could use to make godly beings for the sake of story-telling and possibly for a kind...

I am currently working on comparing the Cleric class from various versions of D&D to DCC Cleric. I am working with AD&D Player's Handbook and AD&D 2e Player's Handbook before I get my copy of 3e from Amazon. I have access to 3.5. Ultimately, I would like to dope out a path from 0 Level t...

So, I am reading the manual, and there are a couple of instances in which events are supposed to take time. Mostly, concerning wizards. So, a spell is supposed to take a week to learn. How am I supposed to represent that in play? I am also pretty certain that events like making magical weapons take ...

So, the world tour info is live on the site. Just 1 question: How do you document/submit info about games you run for the 2015 swag? I am running my first game in 2 weeks. I volunteer at a maker space and could totally run a game there. Or, I could try the local library. Either way, I might want to ...

I have been hunting down PDFs of TSR rule books and the like in preparation to be a DM/GM/Judge with DCC. It has been helpful for me to get some clarification on what might be considered "jurisprudence" for dungeon crawls, as the DCC manual presupposes those who purchase it have a certain ...

I'm glad these are close to being on the way. I pre-ordered mine on the 22nd, and after receiving them, I hope to not feel the need to buy more dice... I have purchased a lot of dice in the past 2 months gearing up for my first DCC trials. I was really close to buying Game Science Zocchi on top of t...

I'm not sure this forum has a mode other than "helpful".

Welcome.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I rolled up some test characters and am going to play them through the 0-level dungeon included in the manual. I was watching some youtube videos on running a game and thought that the house rules laid out on the wintersome channel were intriguing. I like the idea of not lettin...

Hey All! I can't imagine that I will be a very active member on this forum after I get all my questions answered, but I am here to understand the game better as I run games for friends and acquaintances. I want to create my own world based on the DCC rules and guidelines as a judge, and hopefully to...

How does the Stamina modifier effect hit points? I am planning on running a game in the next week or so (I just acquires the DCC manual after looking through the beta pdf). Is the stamina modifier an automatic + to HP after rolling 13 and above, or - to HP after rolling 8 or below? I can't imagine -...
