Non-DCC materials that would suit the feel of DCC?

Golgothmog · Post by **Golgothmog** » Sun Feb 10, 2013 9:57 pm

It seems that there is a lot of stuff already out there that could fairly easily be converted to use with DCC... but I'm specifically wondering what would fit the weird/gonzo feel it captures so well.
Forgotten Realms seems all wrong to me... but what about the Planescape stuff? The Underdark? How hard would that be to use? Would it fit?
What about the MASSIVE amount of D20 stuff that filled the shelves... surely there must be some good fits amongst that menagerie?

Up until recently none of the D&D stuff was on my radar because I was playing Stormbringer and CoC and Earthdawn... so that's why I'm asking if anyone has suggestions for stuff I should seek out and put to use.
At the moment I'm tweaking my way through Judge's Guild 'City State of the Invincible Overlord'... to have a home base for players. It's wild and wooly... and seems like a match.
Anything else?

Thanks

I really like Vornheim as well. I am planning on dropping it into my Isle of the Unknown campaign.

Something Rotten in Kislev for WFRP is pure Gonzo.

•Blackmarsh Campaign setting is nice. You can buy the print version or get a free pdf. Either way it is old school. My son uses it for his Delving Deeper campaign setting. I might also use it for my DCC campaign setting. Looking at Drivethru RPG I believe the two pdf sets for Aereth are over $90.00! Yes, that is for pdfs... So, Blackmarsh is looking real good right now. Check it out... http://grognardia.blogspot.com/2011/06/ ... marsh.html

I'd really like to pick up Judges Guild older stuff, but $100 on eBay is stupid expensive for CSIO. Unfortunately I think some folks were saying the PDFs available for purchase were crappy scans. Anyone know anything first hand about this? I really like the old feel of the Judges Guild stuff, that coarse paper and 8-color printing.... good stuff. Would be perfectly happy with PDFs of course but if the scans suck, I don't want to be annoying. (For example, I love L1 Bone Hill but the OCR scan on this module that Wizards put up for free is ridiculously bad... not quite ToEE 1st printing errors bad, but close enough to be annoying.)

This is a good list... I'd add:

ASE (Like Dak said...if you haven't seen this, it's highly recommended)
Teratic Tome -- monster book of evil goodness.
Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea (the campaign set and the adventures..all good)
Bride of the Spider God (http://xoth.net/publishing/xp1/) This one is very Conan-y.
Gabor Lux (Just search for him; he did a bunch of fan-created stuff for Wilderlands that very applicable to DCC)

ASE is highly recommended indeed.

Gabor Lux is a brilliant DM and writer. I was lucky enough to play in his rewritten Tegel Manor and one of his Fomalhaut adventures. Two of the most memorable adventures I ever had.

This statement makes me incredibly jealous of your gaming group.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Lots of stuff I own, like, want or haven't heard of but want now that I have.
Teratic Tome and ASE have moved to the top of my 'must buy' list.
Arduin is a big favorite of mine. I don't think I've ever played a game that didn't at some point feature an idea that originated with those crazy tomes.
