I haven't given them any assets yet, or increased money from in-between adventures. I'll do that next time, whenever that is. Assets and relationships are tied mostly to the IBA events. If you didn't want to use them, it's possible to wing it such that other items or NPCs in the characters' sphere ...

I've run two sessions of TA so far and just wanted to tell you how it went. Thanks for the excellent write up, grald. It's ambitious to try an investigative phase with so many characters. Typically, I only use it with a 1:1 player-to-character ratio. That's probably more manageable. You're doing it...

A review of TA. Can't please everyone. I fully disagree with two of his substantive criticisms, however. First, that all foreigners must be Exotics. That is flatly untrue. There's even a sidebar saying as much. Second, that TA lacks a Clergyman class. First, Clergyman is an Occupation. Second, the ...

I give out Luck all the time. The more I give, the more the players spend. And I like it that way. Between adventures, I usually give the characters back their Level in Luck. With the luckier classes (Thief, Halfling, Valiant, Scoundrel) recovering back up to their full (originally rolled) total. Lu...

Nope.

What are some ideas I can do to help make dwarves, elves, and halflings more weird fantasy? One of the setting hacks for the Transylvanian Grimoire is using the classes in Transylvanian Adventures in a Sword & Sorcery/Weird Fantasy context. The advantages of TA in this respect are: There is no ...

What would you say is the difference between the Lulu POD and DriveThru POD? I know you've said you like the Lulu better, but what exactly are we talking about? Better colors on the cover? Thicker pages? Just feels more 'solid'? I like the printing of the cover better. I like the type of ink better...

Drivethrurpg just sent out an email notice that the book is available in hardback for $34.99. http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/0/Name-Not-Found?products_id=121110&src=sub pdf is $12.99. Both are $34.99. Yep. I'm getting the coupons together for existing PDF owners tonight. Need to do a blo...

Thanks, Robby. Let me know if you plan on trying it out in the area. I'd be happy to sit in.

I have both and am waiting for a release date on TG et al.

Thanks.

Yes. Those are the only releases at this time. I'll have more details on future releases after the new year.

Thanks for the interest.

Ordered on Lulu. Is there a mini-adventure/setting in the main book ? (I already have The Winter Home) There's a 0-level funnel featuring a few of Dr. Frankenstein's creations. As far as setting, that comes in the second book. A full hex map of Transylvania set up for play at maximum volume and mor...

Gah! I'd done so much to eliminate stuff like this. Sad to see this one made it through. Ugh. The correct numbers are 12-18 then 19-24. My bad.

Hard at work again (still...).

Transylvanian Adventures is now available in print. More info over on the blog at:

So these boards are good for finding things to add to your game, but there isn't really a spot where people talk about what didn't work in their game. I think that sometimes that can be just as valuable. So I'll start this off. House Rule: Critical Hits do max damage. Reasoning: We all thought that...

A possible exception to this is the DCC supplement Transylvanian Adventures . It's worth noting I've played/run gonzo games of DCC and TATG as well as very serious ones. It works fine either way. It would be interesting to spy on your campaign. I'd like to see a session of "horror gone gonzo&q...

A possible exception to this is the DCC supplement Transylvanian Adventures . Scott's style of prose is laid back and often contains humor and is the kind of thing I might write if I was writing a RPG. While clearly not slapstick style comedy, and certainly not a lighthearted subject, TA has a fun ...

I just got the pdf last night, and I found that on the first page for the Valiant Class, it lists an ability called "Likeable Fellow", yet on the page that describes the abilities, there is no mention of said ability. Is this a real ability, or was it a leftover from a previous version of...

One of the mishap results in the Party Like It's 1899 section of Transylvanian Adventures features a character contracting syphillis. Some rules in there for it. There's also the "Jilted Psychotic Lover" result on the Life's Been Good to Me So Far table. That might be better than a venerea...

For those who haven't seen it already, I posted a picture of the proof hardcover to the blog. It looks even better than I'd hoped. Doug (Kovacs) is the greatest. All I'm waiting on now is some direction from Lulu on the topic of discounts or coupons for those who've already bought a PDF. I have dayj...

This is great news. I'm currently using Dice Farmer for DCC dice. Dice [expletive] that I am, I'm sure I'll pick up an official DCC RPG set.

Thanks for the answers! Also, I love how my name for the Reaver class saw print! There was one more thing I meant to ask that I forgot: is there a reason why PCs reroll max hit points at the beginning of every adventure? Seems like a lot of unnecessary rolling for little payback. I can see some int...

Is there a higher resolution blank character sheet available for download? The one at the back of the PDF doesn't print very well. Thanks! I will make one available soon. I don't know what's happening with the character sheet in the PDF. It's the same one I used for GenCon and those turned out well...

Scott, I'm one of many (I'd imagine) waiting for the print-on-demand w/ free pdf offer. Any way we can pay for it now so we can dive right into the pdf? Not yet. But I'm trying to get together a deal for those who've already bought the PDF to get the hardcover for much cheaper. The end result is li...
