Glad you dig the adventure.

The Thirsty Grandmother is technically a kind of bizarre vampire, but I just based her stats and abilities off a viscera devourer (or one of the other devourers).

She was a last-minute addition to the adventure, but I like her a lot.

Thanks!
I'm manually screening all would-be members of the board, which means I spend about a half-hour per day deleting spam accounts.
Some very clever ones may slip through, but it should - SHOULD - be a whole lot less.
When we update the board next it should get even easier.

I wish you luck finding that recruit.
If you have no luck, you can refer to the pool of unattached gamers I'll have at the tournament booth, in the lobby of the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

See you in...what...ten days? Nine, now? Yikes.

Gary, sorry that happened. In our ongoing battle against spam, it looks like some people didn't get activated right away. I can't say why yours was one of those. It had nothing to do with "limiting our voting." I've taken over those responsibilities, and I spent three hours today going ove...

In previous years we've had teams do very well with just 3 participants. To answer your questions, though, you cannot double-up characters and we don't down-scale the adventure if you've only got 4 with you (that would be hard to do on-site). Fathead has a point about quality vs. quantity of player....

You seen the pictures of my new game table? We're speaking the same language.

Fan-effing-tastic game room. And I think I spied two copies of Castle Whiterock in the fourth picture. Huzzah!

Oh, ouch!

The errata thread is where we store the errata. The only serious issues with CW is that the maps got rotated (in post-production, incidentally, so after the playtests) and that we forgot to include an entrance to level 6B, which was a miscommunication between my co-author and myself. I've updated th...

Lore Master and Seer are both from the Aereth boxed set. They are a two-feat chain that reduces the spell level adjustment of metamagic feats by one each. So Geviss, with both feats, could cast a Quickened (normally +4) lightning bolt (3rd level spell) as a 5th level spell (instead of a 7th level sp...

Ah man, reading the list of the dead was a trip.
"Critted by Forst"...huzzah! The redcap took someone with him!

Happy Birthday, Whiterock campaign!

...and that's it. We filled out the roster a few hours ago and are now comfortably cruising into Gen Con.

Huzzah!

GnomeBoy, after the event I'll send you the 2009 Judge Test.

And you thought the TOURNAMENT was hard!

Goodman Games would like to thank the GMs who have responded so far to our search for tournament Judges! We still have one (exactly ONE) slot left on the team. If you think you can pass the dreaded Judge Test and are interested in seeing the tournament from the other side of the screen, contact me a...

OK, the ten-part teaser for the 2009 tournament is finished. This one is shaping up nicely. We even got Clan Yeoman to playtest for us (sadly, they won't be able to compete this year), so you can expect extra helpings of bloodshed and deviousness! You can view the teaser here: http://www.goodman-gam...

The DCC Tournament team is looking to fill out its Judge roster with one or two final members for Gen Con Indy. If you think you've got lethal dice, the inner tranquility of a Zen master, and the 4E rules tech of a pro DM there is no better chance to prove it than to Judge for the DCC Tournament. In...

PART TEN: HEROES Seven 14th-level heroes have volunteered to carry the Scroll of Ruin to Bridge to the Heavens, descend through the Dabistan Rassad to the Crypts of the Learned, find the ritual chamber of Yash'ar Aref-efendi, and reverse the Scroll of Ruin. They are: Abbados, Feykadin of the Scale: ...

PART NINE: STASIS Over the next several hundred years, numerous attempts were made to destroy the Scroll of Ruin. It has been chopped at with the most potent magic weapons, it has been targeted by the most destructive spells, and it has been the focus of divine ire. The Scroll of Ruin was twice drop...

I spoke with a buddy of mine (the guy who fills in the mail order requests for GG) and he's clued me into a new trick that might kill them off ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Ah, sea drake. Is there nothing you don't make better?

Fortunately I just finished my Banish Spammer ritual. It had a casting time of about two weeks, and I kept blowing the Computer Use check to make it work, but it's done now.

We should be clean for a while.
If not, I've got some crow pie ready to eat.

My original manuscript was eaten by my desktop PC when it suffered critical hard drive failure a while back, so I'm working from memory here. I think it was an encounter that had critters - maybe a hippogriff? maybe beetles? - feeding on a zombie. I know I had an encounter where something was eating...

I can see why that encounter is confusing. Filth Spewer Spigots The spigots are NOT on the fountain, as the Countermeasures text states. They are set into the ground at the locations marked "1." They can only attack creatures in their square. (Think of them like high-pressure, necrotic spr...
