Re: Question about "Withdrawl," page 95

Keep in mind that the use of a "withdrawal free whack" rule is what effectively kills any chase scene from occurring. The PCs don't run when they should for fear of an ignoble death and the bad guys never manage to escape to plunge down some alleyway with the heroes in hot pursuit. That's ...

Doom of the Savage Kings Minor Troubleshoot Needed

Trying to avoid spoilers here . . . my minor problems regard the lottery and how it's conducted. Names are written on vellum and then drawn randomly. No one could opt out really as no one leaves and everyone knows everyone. Problem #1: The people are illiterate, so they are trusting the reader with ...

I'd share them if someone wanted them and could tell me a good place to upload them.

Re: So GG is not putting out more DCC rulebooks?

The core book is 469 pages, how many more pages of rules do you need? :mrgreen: I say leave the rest to the 3PP, stick with what matters: great adventure modules.

Has anyone made GM screen inserts for DCC?

Specifically a landscape orientation for something like this.

I'm hoping to run my group through this one next Thur, but when I read through it - wow. Has any 0-level made their way from begining to end? This one has TPK written all over it. I think that's a standard for the zero level adventures when they make 'em: "On read thru, is there at least one mo...

0-level Healing?

When running The Portal Under the Stars this question became a matter of life or death:

When 0-level PCs start dropping like flies, someone with an Occupation of Healer, Herbalist, etc is going to ask: "What do I need to roll to heal some hit points on my fellow 0-levels?"

Thoughts?

Where are my beloved handouts?

Back when DCC stood for top notch old school D&D modules, my favorite bits were the player handouts. They simply ROCKED with their impact at the gaming table.

Are we ever going to see such things for the post DCC#66.5 era of adventures?

I simply can't imagine mentioning this village from Doom of the Savage Kings without my players cracking jokes for the next 10 minutes. Maybe I just have immature players. :mrgreen: Hard T? Hard H? How do you say it without sounding like the bad stereotype of a chinese guy saying "hello"?

Has anyone finished that first zero level adventure and had one player with no characters left?

Do you just give him 4 more level zeroes and hope they survive the upcoming first level adventure? :twisted:
