It’s a huge week of new releases! We’ve got a Valentine’s Day module, a pair of new zines, a new version of some old zines, and a great way to store all of them on your bookshelf!
Let’s take a look!
The Shelf File of Holding
Is your bookshelf a mess? Do you own so many games they’ve become a hazard? Are your dungeon crawls a disorganized disaster? We were like that, too—so we came up with a solution!
This Shelf File of Holding is a custom-printed shelf file designed for holding adventure modules, hardcover RPG books, and boxed sets. All four exterior panels feature new hand-painted art!
- 3” wide spine is thick enough to fit two big hardbacks, about 25 “skinny modules,” or one to two RPG boxed sets. Also holds boxed games that are in letter-sized dimensions.
- Includes pre-printed spine labels that you can apply to identify the contents of each shelf file!
- Made of durable corrugated cardboard, the shelf file is die-cut to shape and easily folds into position.
2022 Valentine’s Day Module: Love in the Age of Gongfarmers
An all-new DCC RPG adventure for level 2 characters.
In this special Valentine’s Day-themed adventure, the PCs play a group of adventurers who face the wrath of an offended deity who has substituted the heart of a young cleric with that of a mechanical bear. To save the cleric, the PCs must face candy heart puzzles, feral fluffees, and other obstacles if they are to keep hope alive and once again know love in the age of gongfarmers.
Originally conceived and performed as “The Lost Heart of Valentinus in the Funnel Love” for Spawn of Cyclops Con 2021 with the winners of the “Love in the Age of Gongfarmers” contest.
Macabre Vol. 1 – Print + PDF
DCC’s first zine dedicated to b-movie-inspired horror and mayhem.
Greetings Boils and Ghouls!
Macabre Volume I is 42 pages of horror inspired by Troma, Full Moon Pictures, Roger Corman, Hammer Horror, and more. Inside, you will find new optional rules, a class inspired by an 8-bit NES vampire killer, the world’s most comprehensive random werewolf generator, and details about a new horrific setting, Nekrovania. There are also tips for running a horror-themed game within the confines of DCC, new monsters, and a drink recipe to calm your nerves.
If you’ve ever wanted to inject your DCC fantasy world with killer klowns from outer space, cyber nosferatu, or undead she-wolves then look no further. Nekrovania can be adapted to whatever genre of horror inspires you. Gothic horror, 80s slasher flicks, or even grand Guignol theatrics all work in this new setting. Volume I features an Evil Dead inspired world called Walpurgis Nachternia.
Prepare yourself for a world of nightmares and fear. Macabre has risen from its grave and Dungeon Crawl Classics will never be the same!
*A tarot deck is required for both the Judge and players*
The Stennard Courier Vol. 1 Zine – Print + PDF
Stennard is a community on the brink of collapse. Famine, coupled with corrupt leadership, has left it struggling to survive.
The Stennard Courier Vol. 1 is a 40-page DCC RPG compatible town center for 0-4th level characters. Stennard is a great base of operations for adventurers, filled with NPCs to engage with, rumors to be gleaned, and shops to frequent.
This zine details 11 encounter locations complete with the NPCs that populate them. Each major NPC has their own table of rumors and opinions, with 64 total rumors to be uttered from their lips. This zine begins with an overview of the town with its laws, culture, and religions. It ends with menus and things for sale in the center of town, and a Stennardite name generator with a note on naming conventions for creating your own.
This zine is also the perfect companion to The Precipice of Corruption, The Protectorate of Jenulane, and Wide-eyed Terror Zine, with the NPCs from each having friendships and enmities with one another.
