Re: Elves Live So Very Long, And Yet...

Seriously,you guys are OLD. Elves never worked anyway. 2,000 or 300 years it doesn't make any since. Before the pc started playing them they spend how long to reach the starting 0 level? (or 1st level for those D&D freaks) and then WHAM 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 (if they are seriously lucky) in just ...

Re: Unused Magic Items & Magic Item Shoppes

The secret to DMing on the fly and creating the adventure as you go is never letting on that is what you are doing. That means prep work. I have made several notebooks at the table with scribbled adventure ideas,stories,songs,poems,traps,maps,monsters,thousands of names and npc character traits ANYT...

Re: What can an elf do to avoid corruption?

I come from the other extreme variable I guess. My players roll in front of me(and even try from time to time to cheat even then! "16!,That's a 6,oh" and during the first adventure the Wizard rolled three nat 1's. And it got worse from there! Our wizards tend to be very unlucky AND mutated...

Re: What's your prefered initiative tracking method for DCC

If you don't have a dry erase board get index cards(or even just folded up paper) and write 1-10 on them. Each initiative just had out the paper in order of initiative. I did that with folded paper so they stood up so everyone at the table could see who went in what order and it worked great. Half t...

Just have every npc rebuff him/her and steer away from any unwelcome activity. Talk with him again and let him know its not funny,not cool and if it keeps up you will put a stop to it. Don't give him a STD. Just put a end to the entire thing. Seriously,sex,real world politics,real world religion and...

Re: Unused Magic Items & Magic Item Shoppes

I play a much more D&D oriented DCC RPG game. Tons of magic Items all over the place. Now instead of the +5 longsword and high end its the +3 Longsword but same principle. Magic items do tend to be more bizarre(even that +1 mace might for instance burst into arcane fire verse any type of Frog). ...

With the deadliness of DCC adventures already pushed up to 11,it just isn't needed. The Tomb of Horrors is a death trap ...

It seems to me that Kickstarter is part of the trouble and peoples lack of understanding of what kickstarter is. Kickstarter is NOT a store. It is NOT a safe bet.

Use aztec culture for lizardmen! It works really well and always seems to impress the players.

Last time I gave them the advantage of diseases they were immune to and that spread like wildfire to the civilized people. Kinda reverse history!
