3.x/OGL DCCs and C&C after 4e

Post by Black Dougal »

I have heard rumors and seen some speculation on this and other forums, however, I would like to hear an official response.

Since the new DCC modules will be published under 4e and the GSL, will Goodman Games still be able to port existing 3.x/OGL DCC modules to Castles & Crusades? Also, will Goodman still be able to publish new content (like GG2: Palace of Shadows) for C&C? Or, does Goodman Games intend to abandon its C&C product line?

Thank you.

We have no plans to abandon C&C support. Why assume that our C&C support has to be limited to converted DCC modules? :) We'll be focusing on 4E for a while, but we have been discussing some very interesting ideas for C&C that may come to fruition next year.

Great. :-)

I appreciate the response.

I really enjoy your products and am excited that you have plans for more C&C material. Now I just have to have a little bit of patience.

Thank you.

On a similar note, do you have any plans to convert (or even allow the posting of fan conversions of) 3.5ed DCCs to 4e ?

Yes, we're looking at options to make the 3.5 DCC's still available under 4E rules. We originally planned to convert the 3E modules via downloadable conversion documents, so you could buy DCC #1 at your local store then download the file to get the 4E stats. That unfortunately won't be feasible under the new guidelines for 4E products. But there are some other possibilities, like releasing new print versions that are overhauled to 4E. Nothing's final yet, but that's where we're leaning now.
