Don't forget to check the bodies for treasure.

I wonder how much XP is a Russian SPAM thread worth?

Disagree. Keep the sections highlighting where DCC's "throw-back" style is different from the way RPG's have evolved up to today. It is one of the better selling points of the game and, if I read things right around here, the very reason for the games existence. Let us all stand tall and t...

Did we mention cause they're kewl?

There was a moment, a scant moment, when I first opened the PDF and saw the B&W art, that I felt like I was 16yr old DM again.

I second the Jim Holloway statement.

And, I've said this before, the art on the adventure covers rock! Maybe I like more color.

NOW!!!!!!

I was #22.

C'mon guys. It's gotta be Wednesday somewhere!

My fingers are already itching!

Well, I don't know about any of you, but my beta playtest input will consist mainly of arguing that DCC should be re-imagined as a sci-fi game.

With dinosaurs. Big, smelly dinosaurs.

And cars with guns on them.

Yup.

Very excited about this. Very. Once we get some of this in our hands, if anyone wants to bash the rules around a bit at Games Plus in Mt Prospect, Il., I would be interested in attending. Was going to have back surgery, but it has been postponed for a bit, so I am now officially on pain killers and ...

Probably can't do much until the beta version of the game is released to everyone this summer (unless someone from GG wants to come back and run another play-test there but I suspect they are going to be busy). However, when we all do get our greedy little hands on the beta version I would be happy ...

Just got back from the Games Plus play-test in Mt. Prospect. I don't recall having as much fun or laughing as much during an RPG game, in the last several years, as we did tonight. It really did bring me back to the way things were in the 70' and 80's during my gaming heyday. It also served to remin...

All of the DCC modules that Goodman Games ever produced. They are all exactly what you need, so rush out and buy every single one of them today!

You mean *again*?

I've said for years: we need to get our heads out of the rulebooks and back in the game.

If generating monsters is as easy as described, then we probably don't need a "manual". I used to always cherry-pick bits and pieces of different monsters, toss them well with a splash of balsamic vinegar and heave them at my players 'cuz after 14 years they'd seen everything I had. Sounds...

Some of the best times in my life, both gaming and non-gaming, were not "level appropriate".

There WILL be a Games Plus playtest, on the evening of Thursday, March 24, the Thursday before Gary Con. The store has set aside their back room. If you're interested in playing, post here or shoot me a note, and let the signup sheet begin! Great! Sign me up! I will be there! Let me know of you nee...

Just say so, give me a week or two to juggle work and I will be there.

Reminds me that I have to make a run to Games Plus, it's been a few months...

maybe it would be clearer to say that it's based on d20 btw there are indeed a few things of 3ed that should be kept out of the DCC 1) iterative attacks 2) dual*multi-classing like there is no tomorrow 3) only 3 saving throws (this sound deeply wrong on so many levels....) 4) feats 5) skill points ...

Depending on the date (and my work schedule), I would certainly love to be there!

Its not like you're on hand to teach people how to play. Excellent point. So, why don't we? Tossing out a few ideas. I've been playing these kind of games since 1976, so I've read a lot of rulebooks in my time. Every time I had a new player to be introduced into one of my D&D games, I would han...

DCC spellcasters can be incredibly powerful, pulling off miracles, but it can come at a terrible cost. There is only so long that mortals can dabble in the dark arts without being changed. Stare into the abyss and the abyss will look back. //H THIS is what magic should be! Am really looking forward...
