why not run it as-is? Statwise 3.x is basically exactly the same as DCC.

I like to use "sleep" or "yield" or maybe.. "dance" or "flee" for the word of command. Suicide seems so boring.

If your theif/group spends a lot of time in cities/towns/any place with some organized government, you could let the thief have fun trying to forge documents to get players past certain guards, or requisition resources. Thieves should be able to climb walls/ceilings kind of like spiderman or a comic...

since this is being brought up again, gosh, you'd think there'd be a really nice bonus for doing missile weapons in close range. I mean... it would be easier to hit someone with a bow/arrow 10' away compared to 20', and 30', and 40', etc, not to mention there being less time for reflexive defenses a...

In an ideal play session, I'd allow anyone to look for secret doors if they had a specific thing in mind.. like if they saw a book-case and decided to search the book-case for a secret door, or said they were searching the wall, or whatever. So.. anyone could search with a specific area in mind, wit...

Lankhmar is connected to other worlds, who knows, maybe the necronomicon was let loose in the world along with a snarky shotgun wielding man.

Give them a surprise, "Evil Dead" style. When the ghouls get knocked unconcious by the spell, they fall to the ground and splinter into many smaller ghouls that are awake. Now there's double the targets.

I don't think there's any restriction, but you could apply a bonus/penalty in how the patron treats the player if you wanted. A patron might be more friendly to a similarly aligned player and be more willing to forgive small mistakes, where a patron might begrudgingly accept an opposite aligned play...

as long as you understand that the "natural" result of the die roll is what is needed to determine success/failure of the deed itself, then it doesn't matter too much if you're squeezing a bonus to hit and to damage by burning luck.

1d10 unless you think they have some reason to roll 1d20

One thing I would say, is you could still add luck to the deed die, it doesn't make the deed successful, but it would add +1 to hit and +1 to damage for each point of luck, but thats just the way I see it.

rules say you can burn luck to add to 'a roll', doesn't limit what kind of roll it is, so yes you can burn luck to add damage

Maybe a big bad that has a mirror that reflects the spell back at the player?

Time to introduce big bads that have some protection against magical spells or something that boosts their saving throw against them? Or.. a big bad that does a spell dual with the player?

If you are still looking for some way to encourage non-murder-hoboism, you could remind your players that they get the same XP for dealing with "encounters" whether through combat or peaceful dialog or some other clever way, and may even be rewarded bonus XP or some other reward for findin...

I like to use "roll 3d6 and try to get under your luck"

More than these five? https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=monster+extractor+inner+ham&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto= :wink: But those aren't goodman games, they may be good and for DCC, but they're third party. I can understand how some people might still b...

Doesn't the section about monsters in the DCC rulebook make it pretty clear that they want you to be creative with your own monsters instead of relying on a book to give you all the stuff about monsters? Instead of a book that stats out monsters specifically, I could see a book that gives more rando...

Just got my copy of the lost city, OAR #4, love the book, but now I feel like having them all together on a shelf will have no over-arching spine-theme. The spine on OAR#4 is purple like the cover, #2 & #3 have red spines, and #1 has a brown spine matching its cover. Now I'm wondering if #5 will...

While I do not think monsters should have "mighty deeds" exactly like how a warrior does. I do think they can be cool by giving them special moves/attacks. My Canardian monsters have a special "duck-bill peck" attack that triggers a second follow up attack if they roll high enoug...

I forgot about those realms so much that I don't know where they'd be put.

I can understand that a +0 bonus from your luck score can make the birth sign a little underwhelming, but that's just because most people in the world are unremarkable and untouched by the hands of fate, so to speak.

I guess if it's not really laid out as a specific suggestion in the adventure, you could do it any way you like. I keep a cummulative chance for random encounters each time I roll. So like.. first random encounter check, I roll d6 and on a 6 one happens, then on second check, I roll d6 and it happen...

May have been posted somewhere already, but I'm curious, what are the requirements for publishing something that is intended to be a 3rd party supplement or adventure for dcc rpg?

I didn't say that, just that the god may be upset about giving healing to players without anything in return. You can still heal at like.. 1 HP a day with rest or something without using magic.
