Re: DCC question?

OR grab The Winter Home from RPG Now, and examine smathis' take on vampires for Transylvanian Adventures (which is a DCC ruleset whose modifications from the core rules, in many or all cases, could be used as house rules with the core book). Thanks for the shout out, RCK. The vampires in Transylvan...

Thanks for the response. When are you planning on running Winter Home? I'd be happy to email you some updated pre-gens. I'm planning on updating them in the PDF too. But I could probably email them to you beforehand.
Hey Kevin:
Check your email.

Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo

Thanks for the explanation about the pre-gen characters. That was exactly the sort of explantion I hoping for. Now I have high hopes again for the classes. And then I read this...

Re: Beyond the wall DCC mash up

Transylvanian Adventures will include optional character creation tables that help add some life to a newly minted character. They aren't handing off bonuses and such, so much as helping to give a player some ideas for playing that character. TATG won't have a chart outlining how characters know the...

Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo

If there was jsut one more line on each character sheet describing one cool ability like drinking blood to heal, then I would be in love head-over-heels. I think this is a great suggestion. What I can try to do is revisit the pre-gens when we go through another round of edits. Because it's a PDF I ...

Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo

For those of us lucky enough to download, which full fledged character are you hoping to see? HN My favorites have changed over time. Most recently, my favorite classes were the Exotic and the Survivor. But now, the two favorites of mine are the Half-Breed and the Scoundrel. The Scoundrel is a lot ...

Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo

I haven't finished reading the adventure yet (although I'm liking it thus far except for the occasional typo), but like Kevin I skipped to the pregens, and I had a similar feeling about them. I thought it was maybe because we weren't getting full disclosure about all of the class abilities, and it ...

From the cool bad guys and the tough moral choices all the way to the excellent production quality, everything is very good. He...
