Re: What other Appendix N inspired settings would you like to see?
I agree wholeheartedly. Things like challenge ratings & balanced encounters really destroy the sense of danger the players (and characters) should have. Not to mention the video gamey "short & long rests." That's why DCC is good for S&S game play. Lots of randomness & letha...

Re: What other Appendix N inspired settings would you like to see?
Modiphius currently has the rights to the Robert E. Howard stuff though personally I think DCC would be a much better fit than the clunky 2d20 system.

Re: What other Appendix N inspired settings would you like to see?
Funny that you mention that. For my upcoming "Original Adventurers Reincarnated" campaign, the party will have to recover five pieces of an artifact to banish a demon lord. And the places they must go are: 1. City of Brass 2. Dying Earth 3. The Purple Planet 4. Empire of the East/Changelin...

Re: Original Adventurers Reincarnated
The excitement surrounding the launch of "The Music of the Spheres" KS got me thinking about my campaign plans and how I could make it more DCC, especially in terms of the villains. My original concept was too close to something I've been doing for our Castles & Crusades game. So now, ...

Also, they are reprinting it as a hardcover later this year. Had it heard this earlier, I likely would have waited, though my boxed set is in perfect condition.

Second Printing
So do we know when the second printing will be available? And will there be an option for people who own the first printing to get the new material separately?

I'm #31. And kinda glad it won't be out until next spring since I've got lots of stuff to play through before then including the Dying Earth stuff.

Re: Purple Planet Box Set
You may not want to hear this, but I just snagged a new Purple Planet Boxed set on Ebay for a not too outrageous price. You should check there regularly, as there are often copies (generally used) for sale. The prices vary greatly however. I had been looking since last summer to find one I'd be will...

Re: Another Amazing Hook
The good & the bad about the DCC modules tends to be their, well, modularity. Easy to drop them in and/or do one shots but you sometimes need to work in links between them if you want a longer campaign. But I have some of that in mind for what I hope to do, and the "real" campaign will...

Another Amazing Hook
So, as some of you know, I've been sketching out notes and a campaign arc for my "Original Adventurers Reincarnated" idea whereby our original B/X characters from the 1980s get brought back from the dead to save the from a threat that no one alive can handle. I plan on stringing together a...

Mercurial Magic as Campaign Hook
So, as I've mentioned in another thread, I reskinned all our original 1981-82 B/X characters for a high level DCC romp down the road where they get to save the world one last time. To make it more fun & random I used the Purple Sorcerer site to randomly generate the grimoires & mercurial mag...

Re: Original Adventurers Reincarnated
The old characters have been re-skinned for DCC. I've sketched out a broad campaign outline and decided to add Blackmoor to my dimensional hopping, especially since some of these PCs played the Blackmoor modules back in the 80s.

Original Adventurers Reincarnated
Okay, so I've been gaming since I got the Moldvay boxed set for Christmas in 1981. Among the things that finally drew me to DCC after playing the originals and retroclones like OSE are the cool 70s vibes and just the gonzo sense that anything can happen in the adventure, with random spells, crazy ad...

Re: Dying Earth D&D
Luckily that's my family group so only my brother has played much, and only very infrequently since the 80s. So it's pretty new for all of them. But I totally hear where you're coming from.

Got my Empire of the East book today and I'm loving it so far. Only bad thing was that the pdf code didn't work with Drive Thru. I bought in on Ebay and they claimed it was new and it looks new, but I suspect whoever bought it already downloaded the pdf then flipped the book. But all I really wanted...

Re: Dying Earth D&D
I never give the AC out; just let them roll. Usually they can figure it out pretty quickly anyhow. Of course now that I've got a brand new gamer, he's in the dark about everything. Still hasn't mastered what the different dice are or what they're used for. We just point and say "Roll this one.&...

Maybe we can find some other players. I loathe Discord as it never seems to work properly on my computer.

Re: Dying Earth D&D
Yes, Hyperborea is pretty cool. I'm more of a Basic guy myself, and I don't need all of the specialized classes for instance, but it really takes what works about 1E and makes it into something unique. Have you looked at Adventures Dark and Deep? Not nearly as cool as Hyperborea, because Hyperborea...

Re: Help Blending B/X into DCC
Sounds cool. I've done something similar, adding DCC elements to my OSE/OSR games. So we use action dice, the dice chain, and have a possibility of spell failure with corruption or deity disfavor. We use crits too, but I can't decide on whether to use my own streamlined Crits table or the DCC ones s...

Re: Looking for a game
I'm up for it if anything ever gets going. I've judged for novice gamers but not actually been a player for DCC. But I've been playing D&D since 1981, never moving beyond 1st edition or its retroclones. DCC is as hip & modern as I'm willing to go.

You could certainly check out the Hyperborea game by North Wind Adventures. They're in the midst of kickstarting their 3rd edition. The rules are essentially 1e AD&D with a heavy does of Vance, Smith, Lovecraft, Howard, etc. There are stats for Oon (Planet of Adventure series) etc. I'm planning ...

Re: Magician cover of the core rulebook
Yeah; I jumped on both of those. I love that magician cover & who doesn't love more modules? And I don't mind the wait because it gives me time to wrap up some other campaigns in the meantime.
