Congratulation to you and your wife Joseph! Such a handsome little man - it's wonderful that everyone is doing well.

(And yes, in my experience there is nothing in the world that brings more real joy than being a Dad.)

I agree that #dccrpg seems the way to go... #dcc appears to return too much unrelated stuff. (Though I'm new to this sort of thing...)

LOVE the cover... and the content looks intriguing too!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It's been a pleasure to work on these, and I'm looking forward with great anticipation to the DCC RPG launch!

Thanks finarvyn!

Anyone else having problems seeing the images or visiting the site? (Can't seem to recreate the problem on my end...)

http://purplesorcerer.com/ads/ad1.png Most find death in the crumbling ruins that stretch beyond sight into the mists south of the Great City; once rich districts now claimed by swamp and dark denizens. But for the desperate few, the ruins offer treasures the Great City denies them: fortune, glory,...

I like that DCC is written specifically so that minis aren't required - but as a long time battlemap printing guy I'm sure they'll find a place once the funnel is traversed. I wouldn't want to try to manage minis with 15-20 characters on the board, but once things settle down to a more manageable pa...

I've had some occasional flakiness with my service provider of late, which has me contemplating a move. Let me know if you notice any more downtime, it will ease my decision making...

Very nice!

One option for dealing with the "more likely to roll a critical on d16 than d20 (without rolling a second die to even the odds) paradox" is to reduce the effectiveness of non-d20 criticals. Either reduce the critical die roll like 'reversed spells' (d6 becomes d4, d4 becomes d3, etc) - or ...

I agree that judging the 'long-term campaign' value of the DCC RPG by what's in the Beta rules is a bit premature. Obviously, much of the 'flavor' of how to manage the system isn't going to show up in a rules package designed to get players started. But big picture, I think from reading Joseph's com...

I've created a "Funky Dice" DCC-themed dice roller, that also has the ability to roll up criticals and fumbles/corruptions/disapprovals. Users can use the criticals/fumbles feature in 'look-up' mode, so they can just enter the number they've rolled by hand, and see the table result. I cont...

Quick question: can a character burn luck to effect the critical hit roll against his foe?

I'm hoping not, as it would complicate something on working on.

Thanks!

I had to work on some things this afternoon, so I couldn't attend the free-rpg festivities at the local gamestore (Wandering Havoc Games), but my wife took my son by to purchase his first set of dice... ahh the memories. Anyhow, they managed to snag the last free copy of the Adventure Starter availa...

That's exactly why I created the thing, so I'm thrilled you were able to use it for free rpg day.

Thanks guys for the kind words. And I'm glad you found Hugh's scowling face funny: it made me laugh the first time it rolled off the printer. Originally, I was just going to put '4d6' over the stat line for enhanced characters, but upon considering the assumed enormity of Hugh's wrath, I felt someth...

I just added, as a secondary option, the ability to create characters using 4d6, dropping the lowest die. I did it primarily to show how fundamentally different they are from the 3d6 serfs we know and love. (And also to illustrate that yes , rolling 3d6 straight does look that bad on a character she...

Thanks for the heads-up! I've removed the additional language note.

Read the PDF carefully: Note: Lucky mods (except 'Bountiful Harvest') are not reflected in fields above since luck can change!

Thanks jmucchiello - you're my fact checker!

As I was creating my character generator, I developed some observations about Birth Augur/Lucky Roll: 1)I love the idea of a characters having something particular that they're lucky at, but by my rough estimate, about 95% of characters are one luck burn away from either having no bonus, or much mor...

For my own amusement, I've created a script that generates a random group of 4 0-level characters. I ran it past Joseph (and Harvey), and they think the community could get some use out of it. :) * The script creates a single PDF containing the 4 character cards * After printing, you can keep the pa...

First off, I want to say how excited I am by the rules in general: love the tone, the art, the dangerous, unpredictable nature of magic - overall the vibe is awesome. Two questions/observations: First up is the apparent lack of balance between elves and wizards. Elves have better hit points, more we...

I think presenting DCC as a 'change of pace' experience is also a good strategy. I run a 4e campaign, and am actually a pretty big fan - but I love the idea of a 'brakes-off' alternative that captures the insane unpredictability and outrageousness of the gaming I enjoyed in the late 70's, but with a...

Let me share with you the XP system we devised for our group. It is fairly simplistic, but it does not necessarily match the reality of playing... I agree this sounds like an excellent system: it rewards all the good things you want to reward without bogging down in lots of number crunching. Also, ...
