Goodman Games

Both could be used. Depends on how the player describes his actions, and what he says exactly. One can convince with cleverness OR with charisma! (Example: look at any politician's speech...)

I'm still waiting for The Emerald Enchanter...
Canadian customs can really slow down delivery sometimes.

It's out ? Where ?
(Not on Goodman Games Store nor on RPGNOW..)

What would be nice would be an evocative title that clearly denotes "the" difference between a "Patron" and a "God/Demon".
I don't like the two being somewhat mixed-up in the actual rules... (Bobugbubilz..)

I mostly agree with NobleDrake. That said, there are certain situations where some kind of "fast talk" or "persuade" roll is appropriate. If the party is trying to fool some NPCs about their identity for example, or enter a castle they have no business in. In those cases I sugges...

Brainstorm: Propose or suggest the classes you want to see in an issue of Crawl! dedicated to new classes. Discuss & debate (keep it friendly) the proposals & suggestions. The next phase will be selection of the favorite 5, then a the community can submit the write-ups for each class, and t...

X2 (Castle Amber) and B3 (Palace of the Silver Princess) were awesome too!

Hey, It's too late to book anything in 2012 but... I want to go to a RPG con in 2013! My last times was DragonCon in 2002. Highlight: the wonderful Dave Arneson intimate panel: - Then Gary came up with the idea of publishing adventure modules. "Modules ?", I said, "NOBODY is ever gonn...

Wouldn't it be just awesome to have an Antipaladin in DCC RPG but no Paladin class!!!

Reading right now!!

As usual, stuffed with interesting NPCS!
"You folks been acting like you’ve got hold of some peculiar pipeweed!"

I can definately see a Gnome illusionist having its own type of magic system from minor tricks of light and sound to full blown "There is a Dragon coming right for us run, eeek, its breathing fire! I'm on fire!" A simple system would be having something like a deed die. You describe what ...

Definitively in for me: - Straight Orc - Bard (jack-of-all-trade that would not just pilfer abilities from other classes...) - Gnome (as the Illusionist with different magic, less-deadly illusions less dangerous to practice +magic resistance.) Maybe also: - Monk (I kinda like the "eventually&qu...

You can pretty much do a monk with MDoA, too. Except it would lack the ridiculously overpowered movement, AC, open hand damage, innate spell like abilities, and multiple attacks from AD&D onward. :roll: What about "quivering palm"!!?? "Gained at 13th level(Master of Winter):Perha...

Thanks for the shout-out! I've since updated the "Rival Adventuring Parties" table, which can be found here: Rival Adventuring Parties.

That's great! It would be really fantastic if you could stat the parties minimally (class/level, special items, etc.).

I was toying with a gnome class. Making more than just a "magical halfling". I would have the gnome be more able to cast illusion type spells or just have give the gnome access to only illusion spells. Not only that, and give him the dwarf ability to sniff out gems (just gems). Not sure w...

I think you underestimate me.

That's the spirit!

I guess I should answer my poll too:

Picked up the D&D red box in 1982 and never stopped DMing still!
It helped a lot when I learned English along the way, I still remember when I understood that a "shield" was an actual piece of equipment, not just a "magic spell"!!

Just how old are you by the way ?... Nahhhhh that's not the right question.

So here is the REAL question:
When did you first play in a bona fide role-playing game ?

In the spirit of Appendix N, there should also be some kind of very powerful "magic-user" almost always succumbing to madness and corruption. Something like a NECROMANCER or a DEMONOLOGIST. But playable. Can it be done? I doubt it.

Stage Three: Class creation challenge. Once the 5 classes are picked, it'll be on the community to create these classes. Individual threads will be made where people can post their version of the class. My only worry is that all different class versions will cross-pollinate each others and we might...

Great write-up! If you don't mind a little thread-highjacking, I'll repost here my short summary of the same episodes of Sailors.. with my group. Just to compare players' strategy and failures all over the DCC world!: - The party decided the best way to get rid of the vines was to burn it, so they d...

Just got it yesterday (from England..): GREAT book!

Lot of weird things going on there!
Can you give us an outline of the campaign's plot/setting?

I got my book off a reseller on eBay, who claimed the book was somehow missing the module 66.5. I didn't realize that 66.5 was different from the modules in the book. Oops. Is there a way to get a print copy of 66.5? http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t138/sheriffharry/GMG50665CoverLarge.jpg It is ...

I bought a bunch of simili-Roman Empire coins at a museum exhibition a couple of yeas ago. They were a great success at the gaming table!
