* The "Zocchi dice" (as I call them) are a lot of fun and are part of the game. They're currently available from http://www.gamestation.net/ (and can be ordered by your local game store as well). My goal is to also make them available in some format as part of DCC RPG - either included or...

I also would like to see an intro adventure bundled with the box set (or sketched in the text of the single rulebook, perhaps in no more detail than in the Holmes or Moldvay basic sets). I'd much prefer to have the intro adventure as its own pamphlet, rather than in the text of the single rulebook....

I'm sure this is waaaaay early to know for sure, but I'm curious as to how much thought has been put into the way the DCC RPG will be packaged. Thoughts so far, questions, and a wishlist for the game: I assume a boxed set. My guess is that the rulebook will be a standard 8.5x11" size, but it wo...

Very nice. I don't think I have any software that will do stuff like this. Sometimes I can create something kind of spiffy in Paint, but nothing of this magnitude.

Agreed. I think that it's a lot easier to find main topics with the new organization.

Now, if only we could keep chatter alive in them!

At the Anonycon playtest I used the 3E SRD for the stats of monsters mentioned in the Castle of the Mad Archmage, and that worked fine, and also used the Castles & Crusades stats given in Castle Zagyg, and that also worked fine! I'm not really surprised by this, based on what I've read so far a...

Awesome story, really neat artwork.

I'm particularly interested in the B&W "old school" look, and that art really is cool.

Yes, it seems to share a similar design philosophy to C&C so I can see it cutting into my current C&C campaign as well.

Wow! What an awesome write-up!

If possible, my interest in the game has just gone up.

The more-random philosophy has some great ramifications and I think my group's style will fit this quite nicely!

I missed a few? Drat. So much for being thorough.

And I guess this thread is kind of obsolete now, eh?

Very cool, and thanks for doing this. It'll help us to find threads better!

Nice to see that we have our own place on the 'net to specifically discuss and speculate about the DCC rpg!

This is great news!

Another update. Now up to 53 threads.

I've got my module right here, and I'll confirm that your details seem to match my map as well.

I'd hate to have map typos. Those are the toughest to fix.

Wow, and I thought 3.X was bogged down with combat rules. . . . :shock: The thing about 4E is that they have designed the system to allow each character to have lots of cool things he/she can do, even at first level. (Kind of like having lots of extra feats.) While this is exciting at first for pla...

Entire evenings are spent in resolution of combats - especially at higher levels. There's little time for roleplay - its all tactics as people shift for position hold their actions and continuously talk tactics glossing over every option. When I GM I'm losing the will to live sometimes when it can ...

I agree that the basic ideas you've outlined are pretty neat. I also agree that the players typically won't follow a specific outline, and if you "encourage" them too much they might not gain full enjoyment of the campaign. My approach is typically to have general sketchy notes for several...

Building a campaign is going to be guided somewhat by the experience of your players. If you have an experienced party then look at the big picture -- what makes this campaign different from any other you've run -- start with a few key locations that fit the style of the game and fill in details aft...

That's a bummer. I'm also one of those "on the fence" as to whether it's worth going to GenCon or not. DCC RPG might have tipped the scales, but it's only one factor among several.

Darned the Real World (TM), anyway!

Dang. Found another Whiterock thread in the Judges Guild section.

Darned things are like roaches ... they're everwhere and you just can't get 'em all!

Now that's an innovative solution!

+1 from me!

The problem with suggesting a different system is that Dragonhelm likes the 4e system. My error. I noted that the poster had been on the Piazza forum and didn't connect that he wanted something 4E-based. (Many posters on the Piazza are pre-3E gamers.) :oops: 4E is different enough from other editio...

In "clumps" of modules seems good at first, but what do you do with related series? For example, DCC #1 and DCC #27 both deal with the rat king, and I'm sure there are some threads out there that would be hard to classify based on "DCC #1-10" and "DCC #20-30." Hmm... I...

lost them to the xbox 360 at some point. I haven't been able to coax them back to the table yet. :( This is unfortunate. My kids are into PS3 when they play solo but are quick to run back to the table when I run C&C or other old-school game. My kids are kind of "into" dice, so that he...

I've washed my hands of 4th edition after trying to "fall in love with it" numerous times with various DMs and play groups and always feeling unsatisfied in the end. Sadly, I've nearly reached this conclusion myself. I'll probably finish the 4E campaign I'm running currently but I'm not s...
