Yes, I'm relatively new here too, and Raven Crowking, Gnome Boy, and other oldheads here are fonts of useful game tips!

Re: DCC Halfling only class that's worse than Basic D&D source

Agreed. It makes no sense for a halfling with a Luck score of 10 (modifier of 0) would then burn a point of Luck score to give someone else (or the halfling's self) a modifier of 0 to a roll. Seems a better interpretation would be: "The halfling's burned Luck point can modify any roll made by a...

Re: monsters: the Dryad

I'm going to have the "dryad" be a magical carnivorous tree that dangles a shapely figure of a maiden in front of them and tries to entice them close enough to be grabbed, hauled up into the center of the tree, where it drops them into a venus-fly-trap-like maw that slowly digests them. T...

Re: Question about "Withdrawl," page 95

The free attack on a withdrawing opponent was part of the 1st edition rules, but it was 3e that coined the term "Attack of Opportunity". B) I have never understood players who think that their only choice is to stand and fight, and that taking an unanswered attack is something to avoid at ...

Re: No Funnel Backgrounds

Rolling for occupations might work, but if your players have already chosen their race/class, then the occupation might not match. I assumed gnomeboy was confused because of my statement above. Whether the onus of confusion was on why occupation & class needs to match, or what, I simply pointed...

If you roll a demi-human occupation, ignore the demi-human part and use the rest of the description.

Re: New Judge & Challenge Rating

Getting my players to describe what they're doing before rolling a die for a skill is like herding cats. ;) I've even gone so far as to say that nothing comes of their rolls if they roll without describing what they want to do first. Some times a roll is not even needed, and I can tell them everythi...

Re: What other Appendix N inspired settings would you like to see?

Thundarr the Barbarian would definitely fit! It could be an MCC/DCC hybrid! I just read a thread about Gamma World over at the OD&D proboards, and I thought of Thundarr the Barbarian. It would be so easy to emulate TtB using Gamma World 1st edition, OR MCC! Use MCC, but introduce a Thundarr set...

I won't require my wizard player to roll an additional die in order to cast a spell, even for the first time casting it ever, but I get the point of the learning curve. I've decided to let the player choose his first four spells from a grimoire introduced in our funnel. I was going to have him choos...
