Re: The DCC Cover Discussion Thread
I'm not sure if it was you or Kenzer who brought Otus back. You run Hackmaster, don't you? My first clue was that you used the word "gawdawful" in an earlier post... Unfortunately customers want what they want regardless of the good reasons companies have for buying products. Customers wh...

Re: The DCC Cover Discussion Thread
I assume the yellow corner changes were made due to customer feedback asking for clear labeling to clue them in better on what the content was. Treebore's close. The yellow stripe is a history of the first two major cases of confusion in the marketplace as it relates to DCC modules. The first case ...

Re: The DCC Cover Discussion Thread
What if the covers had not changed at all? Even if the module clearly stated that it was compliant with 4E, wouldn't there be a stink about Goodman Games "misleading" people with the cover art? The buying public has been led to expect 3.X content from such cover art, and they could certai...

Re: The DCC Cover Discussion Thread
Why not just come out with 4e adventures and not bother calling them Dungeon Crawl Classics. If the goal is to use the new cover art to attract new blood, then something has definitely changed. Changing the covers says something dramatic. It is a change in the basic thinking of what the DCC line is ...

Re: Ship Dates for 4E Modules
No denigration intended. Strictly factual - the module contributors are the same, the modules play just like the classics, and there are folks making judgments based strictly on cover art. If covers are driving 100% of a purchasing decision, then maybe I should be publishing art books instead of ad...

Re: Ship Dates for 4E Modules
Your cover art is what grabs your customers. It is the face of the DCC line and the perception is that with 4e you have abandoned the classic in favor of looking like any other game companies product. Well, for those who judge books completely by their covers, I guess that is the perception they wo...

Re: Ship Dates for 4E Modules
It's interesting to me to hear how the 4E modules are being perceived. All the interior art is by Doug Kovacs, who has been illustrating the DCC series since #17: Legacy of the Savage Kings. He's famous among some of the hard-core DCC fans for dating his illustrations from the 80's. The cover art i...

Re: Ship Dates for 4E Modules
And, please, go back to the classic look or call them Dungeon Crawl Modern. Calling the new artwork 'classic' makes no sense. Have you read one of our 4E modules yet? I have to convert all these back to 1e. What made the pre-modern art DCCs so appealing to start with is that the artwork was immedia...

Re: DCC#52
We did a shorter run of DCC #52 since it was published after 4E was announced, and it sold out. A number of people who played in the tournament didn't get copies, so we're doing another short run to make sure it's available for all tournament participants (and others who get in their orders before ...

Re: !st DCC order just arrived today
JZ, Let us know how your search for DCC #35 goes. There is a SW copy sitting on the shelf at my FLGS. It isn't discounted, but it is still in shrinkwrap, so there's a tradeoff. I'd buy it for myself, but I already have DCC# 35 in both print and pdf and I don't think I need a second copy. If you don...

Re: Greyhawk locations...
I've never adventured in the Greyhawk setting, but have always wanted to. I got into D&D when I was 13, which was '94, and started playing in Dark Sun and Forgotten Realms... There are very different versions of the Greyhawk setting. Originally it was published without a great deal of detail. T...

Castle Whiterock is the best 3rd edition boxed set, imho. :) The 51.5 prequel is excellent too.

Re: Buying the PDFs before they're gone
I too liked the old-school look the 3.5 DDC's have, but I can certainly understand GG wanting to update it for 4E. I suspect the adventure content will still be just as cool. I haven't tried 4e. I've heard it is more akin to a table top mini game, which the people saying it seem to be using as a ne...

Re: Buying the PDFs before they're gone
Yeah, if you go to http://www.drivethrurpg.com, it's very clear that it's only a matter of time before the 3.5 DCC's become unavailable in .pdf form, which makes me kinda sad.

Re: Buying the PDFs before they're gone
Why would the pdf's disappear? Is this part of the 4e switchover? If your company is making the jump to 4th Edition, you can't continue selling your 3.x stuff after a certain point. :? So that is a mandatory thing. I'd heard something about that but didn't think it was mandatory, just a logical ste...

Re: Buying the PDFs before they're gone
Since it looks like the 3.5 and 1E .pdf versions of DCC's are going to be disappearing, I'm thinking about buying all of them at once (except for maybe the Known Realms, which I already own in .pdf). Is there an easier way making such a purchase without having to sift through Drivethrurpg and click...
