Re: Appendix N type movies.

Ladyhawke! Dug this up from 2013 upthread, 8 years ago, almost to the day. I'm not sure how nobody's mentioned Ladyhawke . I recall really liking that movie, mostly because of Rutger and Michelle. I still have the VHS. Well, if we're reviving the thread... Excalibur (classic) Krull (early Liam Neeso...

Re: Finding DCC Players

Welcome! That's a problem with almost anything that's not 5e. The majority of people are exposed to D&D as it has the biggest share of both sales and media, so that's what they think they want to play. So often if you mention RPGs to someone new their first response is "you mean like D&...

Re: Xcrawl Classics Beta Rules Discussion

Ran my DCC regulars through Louisiana Rising. Had to cut stuff to run it in 4 hours and didn't quite finish but they really enjoyed Battle of the Bands. Did it online but old-school, over video with everyone rolling real dice. It was a blast, but as I'm running this at Bride of Cyclops Con, I'm with...

Re: Patronized Patronees?

DCC Lankhmar uses "Servant" for someone who's bonded through Patron Bond, and "Agent" for someone who has a less-binding arrangement with a Patron.

Re: core book (images of women) really bad for me. Don't want players to lose their characters. Ideas?

You could take the PDF version of the book and get an editor/viewer that either allows you to toggle images off or delete images from the document. Won't be hardcopy but it'll quickly give you the rules without any art.

Terry, thanks for the great session reports! It was good to read especially coming from the author of the module. This one's on the list for my Lankhmar group for sure, though I have a few other modules to run them through first.

Re: PDFs

Newer modules have codes in them for DriveThruRPG. Otherwise, see this post for how to request PDFs, though it's not clear if they're available for new purchases of old material that don't have a code:

Welcome to DCC! Yes, it is definitely possible, and enjoyable! Though I haven't run DCC with only one, I have run MCC with one player and it ran quite well.

Re: keeping character generation session fun on Zoom

If you follow the rules as written there's no opportunity to number crunch: roll 3d6, in order, no substitutions, you get what you get. Realize that doing that is absolutely no different than using an online random generator. The tradeoff is fun in rolling dice and looking up the result in charts ve...

Re: keeping character generation session fun on Zoom

Personally I don't get much satisfaction out of a session zero. I'd rather spend my game time gaming, especially if the group can't get together very often. Also, I think in DCC session zero is the funnel. DCC is about developing your character by doing, not by dreaming up and writing in-depth backs...
