XCrawl Starter kit

[fathead]

ynnen has been selling me on XCrawl, so now I find myself curious about the game. I'd like to read more into XCrawl. What XCrawl supplements would you recommend as a good starter? I'm intrigued about the dungeon crawl setting, so if there is a module with plenty of traps/puzzles/riddles/strategy, please recommend your favorite. Thanks in advance!

XCrawl is definitely worth checking out... The main rulebook wraps up a lot of the flavor, and has a great adventure in the back, and the Sellout! supplement is one of the better game supplements for any RPG out there... if this were a WotC product, then Sellout! would definitely be considered one of the Core Books.

I know DungeonBattle Brooklyn will be coming out later this year, geared as an introduction to XCrawl, complete with pre-generated characters and lots of sidebars to help share the XCrawl world and flavor to readers...

Otherwise, it's hard to say which one of the existing crawls to recommend. Necroamerica is a rock-solid adventure that has a lot of unusual encounters and some great interior art -- that'd probably be the one I'd recommend checking out.

...and just to make it even easier to get into Xcrawl, we'll be giving out free copies of Dungeonbattle Brooklyn on Free RPG Day! Coming June 23 to a game store near you. More details to be announced... but make sure to pester your local game store about participating. They can get full details from www.freeRPGday.com or their distributor of choice.

Hey Joseph! Thanks for the post. As it turns out, there is a gaming store in Cincy that I can drop in on.

Hey Dan,

Do you go to GenCon? If you are going this year come join the Xcrawl tournament, or hook up with us for one of the after games.

hope to see you,

Our groups attendance at GenCon this year was in contention earlier, but we're definitely going now! I'll be there from Wednesday on, and everyone else will join me for Friday - Sun. I'll take a look at the XCrawl tournament times. If the scheduling seems right, we'll give it a shot. If not, we'll try to hook up with an XCrawl GM to give us a run through in exchange for payment in beer.

Just because of the event timing, the advancement rounds for the DCC tournament and Xcrawl tournament overlap. So, since it might actually matter for your team, I have to tell you now: you can only win one tournament!

Welll...we might give it a try anyway. If we get shoved out of one tournament early, maybe we can make a good run with the other.

At the very least, I'd like to get an introduction to XCrawl. Like I said, Jason Little has been chanting the mantra: "Clan Yeoman would like XCrawl. Clan Yeoman would like XCrawl".

It's inexplicable...I'm starting to think that Clan Yeoman would like XCrawl...I think Little may have jedi powers.

excellent! my plan is working perfectly....

Clan Yeoman will like XCrawl
