Re: Starting wizard (and elf) spells --> roll d30?

I always do d24+INT modifier and I move the patron spells (bond, invoke, *patron spell*) to the end. I like to be the arbiter of patron spells. Elves get bond and invoke automatically, so they can roll a d24 and if they end up with enough INT and a lucky roll, maybe they get another patron combinati...

Re: Diappointment with DCC Annoucements

I would add my own opinion on this -- This is a DiY game. And it doesn't have to be difficult. Straight conversion of any d20-based resource can typically be done on the fly at the table. Other than setting the right tone with treasure/magic items, this is what I do: Monsters -- There are thousands ...

Re: B2 The Keep on the Borderlands

Should be pretty simple -- I think all the bad guys are in the Core Book. Depends on whether you want a D&D-esque approach to treasure and magic, at that point.

Re: What does Google have that these boards doesn't?

I use G+ because I'm interested in several different OSR games, running an in-person DCC game, and playing in several online games. It seems to be a natural meeting place with all the tools I need. I agree with Raven -- finding old posts is impossible, but other than that, it collects all the creati...

Re: Gencon update on the Annual question

Re: Forgive me, I know not what I do...

Similar to others here, everyone levels up immediately upon reaching 10 xp. For wizards, I contrive the entire universe to allow them to have their starting spells immediately -- since normally my PCs level up in the middle of an adventure. So, I don't use RAW for learning those initial spells. Any ...

Re: Are wizards too powerful in your campaign?

In my group of 6 players two are wizards. Both are level 3 and their class seems to be the most powerful in game. Their spells own monsters with no other classes coming close to the wizards damage. I mean with the ability to use Luck, Spellburn, add their level and int modifiers they are getting 20...

DCC Japan / Incidents of Travel in the Ketsueki Empire

I started a thing locally to playtest for eventual 'zine release. It's a campaign based on the folklore and culture of late classic era Japan (think Tale of Heike). I'm sharing all the playtest material here as it's written. Just understand that the content is in constant flux (like I've changed the...

Re: Bringing back roll-under attribute checks?

We use both roll under and roll target number, depending on the situation. What if a character with a bonus to their attribute also had the DC reduced in relation to the character without a bonus? So, for instance in order to bash open this door, the DC is 17 for a STR 9 character (or any character ...
