This week we look at the plethora of 3rd party products for DCC RPG.

The Iron Tavern talks about all of the tables in Dungeon Crawl Classics and why that really isn't a bad thing. In fact, it might just be the key to bringing the magic to the game.

The Iron Tavern - DCC RPG: Tables, Tables, and Tables

It's like: look, if you're going to put a piece of cake before me, and then remove it after only one bite, why did you give it to me in the first place? Don't tease me! I think the analogy is more like putting a "whole cake" before them. If they take a slice here and there, they don't get...

Episode 3 went live this morning with an interview with Michael Curtis!

I know some people will argue that the +10 healing color spray is not broken. Okay, call it what you will The very discussion on this thread is pretty revealing to me. People are going out of their way imagining ways to kill the character, retire it, steal his staff, or otherwise bend the story to ...

The Iron Tavern reviews The Revelation of Mulmo by Daniel Bishop and put out by Dragon's Hoard Publishing.

Review: The Revelation of Mulmo

A question about how to check luck for rolling over the body came up today. It seems that the beta rules say this is a Luck test versus DC 10, but the final rules just say "Luck check" which is roll under Luck on a d20. This is an important difference in that a character making a test wit...

For the record, though, the abilities gained by 0-level demihumans are in the book, page 21: Demi-humans at level 0: Characters whose 0-level result includes a demi-human race must advance in class as that demi-human. For example, a dwarven miner levels up as a dwarf. 0-level demi-humans are able t...

Thanks viruswithshoes! The compliments are much appreciated!

Love the pic of all the paper minis! Awesome!

Regarding spellburn during the adventure climax and the threat of additional encounters afterwards, I have one word of caution. I would suggest a truly random chance for something additional happening on the way home, with the random encounter roll done in full view of the party. Even if you assign...

Ravenheart87 wrote:I only roll under with luck checks. Otherwise I use the guidelines in the skill chapter.

Same with me. Luck is about the only one I use the roll under method for. The others tend to be DC based - so roll a d20 and add your modifier.

Wizard spellburn--especially combined with some halfling aid--lets a wizard more-or-less guarantee a massively powerful spell effect with a fair degree of regularity. This is particularly true for spells where the effect requires a save, because using spellburn can make the save DC virtually imposs...

Episode 2 has been posted of the Spellburn podcast! Welcome to the Funnel! http://spellburn.com/2013/06/18/episode-2-welcome-to-the-funnel/ This week on Spellburn we take a look at one of the system’s distinguishing features, the character funnel, in which many level zero peasants will meet their un...

Running, tinkering with and reading about DCC, I’ve encountered four problems. I’m offering my solutions to the first three – and asking for help with the fourth. The game is great for some tinkering! 1. The balance is spotty in some places Disclaimer: I do NOT care about balanced encounters or cla...

Yeah, these are great sheets. Have them downloaded and ready for new victims, er players I mean.

This mod definitely looks like a good one based on a very quick skim. I need to sit down and read it more closely. Origins next week and I am running it there! I also agree the character sheets looks great as well. I also appreciate that this is a limited initial release. It is great knowing I can t...

One of the new Iron Tavern bloggers posted about the shared experience of modules from the old days, something a little harder to reach with the number of system choices today. He does review Stonesky Delve from Expeditious Retreat, an adventure he ran for his DCC RPG group. http://irontavern.com/20...

While this post is not entirely DCC RPG related, it is a map of a village one could easily drop into their DCC RPG campaign.

Sure can - I will do so this evening.

The Iron Tavern is still hopping, but it has been awhile since I have made an RPG specific post. Today I post about using a cut-scene funnel to restock the stable of characters in your DCC RPG campaign: The Cut-Scene Funnel And while not DCC RPG specific, I have been posting several maps that can be...

I have run Sailors and Portal for my son (9 years old). Okay, Portal was pretty short, the group TPK'ed by like room 3 or 4.. Perils of the Sunken City would be good as well. Ooze Pits has some child sacrifice, so for a kid I might consider tweaking that component just a bit. Depends on the kid I su...
