Watch a DCC Campaign Unfold on Blades Against Bandwidth by Brendan LaSalle “We’ve (been) floating the idea of running a longer campaign with the characters that have survived our previous one shots but I’m not sure the system holds up much after the initial magic of the funnel. Do any of you have any experience with longer games? Did they go well or end up poorly? Does the system hold up during higher levels? How do you construct a DCC campaign” – A question posed on Reddit by user Tomaly To Reditor Tomaly and anyone else who doubts that Dungeon Crawl Classics can be a fantastic RPG engine for a sustained campaign beyond a character funnel, I say look no further for evidence to the contrary than Blades Against Bandwidth, Goodman Games’ first sponsored Twitch campaign.  Once it was clear that the Covid-19 quarantine meant a complete shutdown of the normal 2020 convention season, the Goodman Games Twitch channel became our new outlet for gaming.

The first episode of Blades Against Bandwidth streamed on April 26th, 2020. We ran a full, proper funnel: The Accursed Heart of the World-Ender, which gave us a host of really interesting characters to work with. The crew then ran a continuous campaign through a series of fantastic adventures: DCC Convention Module 2020: The Accursed Heart of the World-Ender DCC #81:...
