Re: How is DCC RPG doing for Goodman Games?

My friend who runs my FLGS has told me "DCC RPG is selling quite well!" I'm not sure exactly what that means compared to other games or GG products, but I would take on face value that it's selling quite well :)

Re: Looking for a short 1st-level adventure

Have you looked at Attack of the Frawgs or the Purple Sorcerer modules, Ooze Pits etc? I haven't checked those out yet, but most modules tend to run 2-3 session IME -- I'm looking for something really short because I'm planning to also run Portal under the Stars (plus, we'll be at GenCon, and there...

Re: Attack of the Frawgs - Now Available in PDF and Print

It took a bit longer than I had anticipated but a print version of Attack of the Frawgs is finally available! Woohoo!

You can pick up a version at FRPGames.com or hopefully it will also turn up at your FLGS.

Thanks for your patience, everyone!

Re: Modules For the actual DCC RPG

FWIW, when I was designing the monsters for Frawgs , I would take a look at similar monsters in the DCC RPG rulebook, and compare them to other similar monsters in the 1st Ed AD&D rulebook and/or OSRIC monster manual. How close were skeletons? Orcs? Kobolds? Owlbears? Did I want my own monsters ...

How are people handling player's trying to sneak up on others? Your DM says to you: In the distance you hear a rushing water. From within the water you hear occasional grunts and splashes.

I'm about to pre-order DCC thanks to the #66.5 incentive! Will any other adventures will be released simultaneously? #67 would be especially handy since it's 0-level and would be used before #66.5.

I agree with some of the thoughts here. When I first started playing DCC RPG I played it very similar to my AD&D style, but now that I'm a few months in, and I see the emphasis placed on certain elements within the Beta rules and the early modules, I'm turning my game darker and weirder. My game...

I'm no lawyer either, but according to the wikipedia entry on mithril:
The name mithril or similarly spelled variations (mithral, mythril, and others) is present in other fictional contexts like role-playing games, video games and books since the Tolkien Estate did not trademark the term.

Snake, Thank you for posting this. I pop over to the Thick Skull website now and again, but not often enough to catch all the updates. (Congrats on the great reviews for The Haunting of Larvik Island , btw.) I'm hoping that Frawgs does well and we see a host of Thick Skull adventures in the future....
