Goodman Games

Yep, speed is important during chasing, plus at the beginning of an encounter and during combat I do keep a mental note about approximately how far away are groups from each other. In some cases I even have a sketch for myself. As for players, I'll only tell what they see or sense. In the fury of ba...

Are attack bonuses, spell slots, thief skill bonuses, action dice cumulative? Nope, so why would be saving throws cumulative? That would be insane, as you already realized. The modifiers in the table are the current modifiers for that level.

If I am allowed to digress, what is the source of this statement?

Check out the monster descriptions in bestiary for ghouls, mummies, shadows, skeletons, zombies.

I've a question concerning this spell. Isn't too much powerful? Every spell can be powerful in DCC RPG. Every spell can be weak in DCC RPG. Every spell can f*ck up either the target, or the caster for days or a lifetime in DCC RPG. You can paralyze (hold) every sentient being... Unless they misinte...

Yep. It increases the maximum, at least at my table.

OK makes sense, but what about thieves and halflings? Their "luck recoveries" are limited by the PCs current max luck, right? So if the hypothetical PC with the 12 luck was a halfling and didn't use any luck during an adventure, they couldn't use their luck recovery. If they did use luck ...

Don't worry about screwing up. Let the players replenish their losses from the beastmen's prisoners. Don't be afraid to let characters die. It's a pretty straightforward adventure.

I didn't have an upper limit for luck. We had a character with 19 Luck by the end of the campaign. I'm curious how that works when Recovering the Body? If someone has a 20 Luck, can they not die until they run out of Stamina? Well, if someone's that lucky or could reach that high, he deserves to su...

I'm new to Leiber's world of Lankhmar, and was curious as to what kinds of monsters or bizarre creatures are present. That would spoil a lot of stories, why not start reading the Lankhmar stories? They are very easy to read, you can finish them quickly. :) But if you really want some information, h...

IIRC yes.

For example, Sailors of a Starless Sea -- it's kinda long for a funnel...especially with the new Summoning Pits/Area H in the new digest copy... I don't know about the new area, but the original Sailors can be easily finished within five hours. It's not a huge adventure, and the encounters run very...

I had a RoleMastery tingle from the preview. Looks fun.

1. I let them. A wizard with low luck won't risk burning Luck to avoid corruption. It has far better uses than that, like avoiding DEADLY things. 2. I give them a hint if they would miss a roll by few. That's usually enough to figure out how much luck to burn. 3. I didn't have halfling class in my g...

I didn't have an upper limit for luck. We had a character with 19 Luck by the end of the campaign.

Under the Halfling description it mentions characters being drawn from Traders and N'er do wells. This was reflected in the 0 level occupation chart of the Beta rules but by the time it came to print the 0 level occupation chart had been populated with Haberdashers, glove makers and so on. Does the...

I was just wondering how other judges handled it -- I didn't think there is usually space for 15 peasants to crowd around a humanoid creature and dog-pile it. If there isn't enough place, the rest can stand back, or join with pole arms and missile weapons. If there is enough place, then lob in an a...

These are pretty cool.

It's properly bookmarked, especially in the most critical section: spells!

I think we'll learn more after GenCon.

Has anyone made these -- sheets with short lists of class powers for easy reference? Which class powers are you thinking about? The official sheets have place for lay hands, thief skills, etc... The rest of them can be written down too on them, but most class abilities are quite easy to remember (e...

1. I couldn't find it in the rules...do players receive XP during the adventure as they get it, or at the end of the adventure? For example -- during the funnel, what if they players receive enough XP to bump them to first level? They just suddenly become first level? It seems like it'd stop the ac...

That being the case, I was hoping to just get some ideas on what people would add or want to see in the hopes that someday we will get a Goodman product that details some additional options. I'm still not sure if I should use my original "elite class" approach for my next campaign, or rew...

For me advanced doesn't mean more complexity, but more content.

I always cross the character sheet and write the time and reason of death on it.

How about racial hit dice for 0-level characters? Or +1d/-1d penalty to the hit dice of some races on all levels.
