That's awesome, Collin! We are talking about the same Iron Kingdoms, right? From Privateer Press?
Guns don't break verisimilitude. People often overcompensate for their damage, but anything in the d6-d10 range is a about right (pistols on the low end, muskets and rifles on the high).

Re: Encumbrance Houserules Meanderings
That would be ideal, but it still comes down to book keeping I'd rather not do.
I'd rather tip my players off that they need to have a looting strategy (bring wheelbarrows, clear the dungeon and pay local peasants to help ferry it out, etc) than just decide that this sword breaks their limit.

Horrible Mutations in Areas of Wild Magic
I posted this on my blog a while back, but there is a good chance you may not have seen it. I'm running a kind of planar-pirate campaign, where all my players are horrible mutants. Basically, they were in area of wild magic. Every hour, have them roll a Will DC 15. If they fail, roll 1d24 on the tab...

Re: Halfling Lucky Charms
That's what I figured. I like it as is, honestly. You shouldn't be able to burn your way to a critical hit or a mighty deed, but it was something the rules didn't clarify.

Re: d16 for ability tests? Talk me out of this idea.
Those kinds of requirements are even worse than the DC system, honestly. From a player standpoint, the most important rolls you make are during character creation, and you have no control over them. The only way this works is if you allow point buy stats, which is very contrary to the spirit of DCC....

Re: Best music for gaming

Really, I just wanted to comment on the OPs name. I hope you're reference the 19th century novel by the Comte de Lautremont. If you ate, you are the coolest poster.

Re: What 3PP classes are out there?
I was thinking of making a Half-Orc class with abilities similar the rage mechanic that players can use via a magic item found in "Doom of the Savage Kings." Add some Darkvision, some Hatred-based ability, and maybe cannibalism and I think they're be good.

The Emerald Enchanter
What's the street date on this? I know you give me the exact day, but is it first, second, third, etc week of July? Also, one thing I noticed was the lack of level 2 support. This is the only full adventure so far for DCC. The Free RPG Day module has a short one, as does the 13th Skull, but are we g...

Marauder, Welcome to the forums! I'm sorry the funky dice were a surprise and disappointment, but fortunately you won't see a lot of use in your first several sessions.

Re: Upcoming rulebooks?
As far as spells go, it's really not that much work to convert them from other editions. Just spend some time looking at other spells of the same level and make it progress in a way that makes sense. I'm currently working on a DCC RPG version of "Disguise Self". It will go up on the blog.

I'm confident we'll see the 10k goal hit. 15k is certainly possible but it's going to require a more concentrated social media campaign from all of the current backers. DCC RPG is getting a lot of good press right now, and a lot of people are picking the books up, but without someone to tip them off...

Re: New to DCC RPG
Quick question - are some of the old DCC adventures playable through this? I note some of them are for over level 10 characters so those are probably not appropriate. One quick note. The level span from DCC RPG to 3.5 is radically different. You can definitely run mid-high level DCC RPG PCs in adve...
