Re: Curious about the DCC RPG crowd...
I started in '77 or '78. I went to a game con with my uncle and we tried it out and I got the boxed set a few weeks later for my birthday. We had some great times with it, but one of my all time fondest memories was a 3 day stretch when school was closed due to a huge snow storm during my senior yea...

Re: Read magic required for learning new spells?
I always just take this spell out, its pretty dumb to make a wizard not be able to ready magic at will, its like a sharpen sword skill for a fighter. I do the same. Requiring a wizard to cast a Read Magic spell to examine magical writings is about as much fun for everyone as keeping track of how lo...

Re: Advantage/Disadvantage dice?
yeah, like the dXkY system in Legend of Five Rings RPG. Where you roll so many dice and keep a lower number of them. I've played LoFR and I think it's a great system, though it's all done with d10's which gives you a smaller standard diviation obviously. I suppose you could play with that as well, c...

Tolkein's Elves and pointed ears
Just curious: does anyone have a quote anywhere from the body of Tolkein's works that says elves have pointed ears? I've been looking and looking but cannot find anything. I'm just wondering, because anytime you see art done, Tolkein's elves always have pointed ears. ps: I'm glad I have a life where...

Re: How do you define min/max?
Some great points are being made here. Personally, what I find most annoying about min/max behaviour is when a player flushes the roleplaying aspect of the game down the toilet and focuses on creating something very effective, but uncharacteristic. Some examples of things like this that I have had p...

Re: Skill use vs ability check use
I only use ability checks when it obviously doesn't fall within a trained skill, or when a character's physical abilities would give them a better chance of success. For example, certain things like jumping a chasm, sprinting across a field, or swimming 100 yards may well be the kind of thing you ca...

Re: House Rules We Love
I'm going to do my best to run my first campaign RAW, but there were a few things that I decided to change. 1. I let them do 4d6 and drop lowest to generate ability scores. Blasphemy, I know, but this is a group that has been playing with alternate rolling rules for over a decade. They've been cond...

Re: artist that will work for exposure
I love it. Very talented and I think you capture the spirit of the game very well in your work.

Howdy. I like the forums, seems like a great source of additional ideas.
