Re: Advice on Intrigue at the Court of Chaos
I played through this module. I absolutely hated it. It was the worst experience of our DCC campaign. One player tried his best to kill another player's character. He failed to get the kill, but managed to inflict severe, permanent damage. Another player had their character steal all of the rewards ...

Re: Betrayal response
I would take a cue from Paranoia RPG, the game where the characters are supposed to betray each other. At the onset of the adventure each character receives special instructions and knows that all other players have opposing instructions. That way, they expect their peers to betray them and have a ...

Re: -1 STR & -1 AGI effect on melee & ranged combat
Does this mean that a character with a Strength mod of -1 does less damage with this weapon? This is how I ruled it in a recent game. Additionally, I ruled that the -1 mod affected all ranges, not just close; it seemed strange that the weapon would do more damage at medium range (by not applying th...

Re: Birth Auger at +0
I've been thinking of giving characters with a 9 or 10 initial luck a -1 birth auger and characters with 11 or 12 initial luck a +1 birth auger. Makes the characters a little more interesting and individual.

Re: Those damned halflings
According to Tolkien, halflings are "unobtrusive", "hard to find", and "shy of the big folk". They could have small communities here and there that nobody pays attention to or takes note of. They're not in the history books, they're not studied by sages (too boring), an...

Re: The roll under Luck Check. . .
If roll-under is an issue, then just have players roll 1d20 + Luck Score vs. DC 21. It's mathematically the same as rolling under Luck. Make sure that they're adding their full luck ability score to the die roll, though, not just the luck modifier.

Re: Supporting multiple systems within the DCC's
Whaaaa? I started with 3.5, but I've never played without a map and tokens of some kind. Color Spray can't be adjudicated fairly without seeing exactly whom it covers, and what sacrifices must be made to ensure it doesn't hit allies. Playing without a map and minis was pretty common prior to 3e. In...

Re: Reading Appendix N
Thanks for the recommendations! I'm in San Jose, so I'll have to make the short trip up to San Francisco to check out Kayo and Borderlands. There are a some pretty good used book stores on the southern end of the bay area, but they're not nearly as impressive as Kayo and Borderlands seem to be. As f...

Re: Supporting multiple systems within the DCC's
I'd like to see DCC modules that are compatible with classic D&D (OD&D, 1e, 2e, or BX/BECM). I have no interest at all in 4e and very little interest in 3e. I'm quite interested in a DCC RPG, as long as it sticks reasonably close to classic D&D and is well-supported.

Re: Reading Appendix N
I haven't made a concerted effort to read appendix N, but I have read quite a few of the books listed: Anderson, Poul - Three Hearts and Three Lions; The Broken Sword Carter, Lin - "World's End" Series de Camp, L. Sprague - Fallible Fiend de Camp & Pratt - "Harold Shea" Serie...
