Re: Please review my Monk class

If a Monk's fighting style is inspired by martial arts -- why not develop a set of specific moves that the Monk class has access to...? Maybe there is a suite of these, and at each level (or every other level, or every third level, depending on their awesomeness) they get to pick one, as their 'spe...

Re: House Rule Feedback Wanted

I dunno. It makes sense from a narrative perspective, but I don't see a player really wanting to do that unless they had a choice. To me, it sort of speaks to DCC's assumption that leveling happens between adventures. Actually, the book is pretty explicit that levelling happens when it does, rather...

Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo

Keep me posted on your setting. Not only would I like to check it out. But I could also write something up about how to use it with TA/TG. Will do, although I am viewing this more as a "home campaign setting" than a product. (Of course, no reason one can't kill two birds with one stone......

Re: Pitching DCC to potential players.

Those are great flyers, but I would pitch the adventure over the game, because the game requires more buy-in than the adventure does. When you agree to try an adventure, where materials are provided, you might discover that you really like the game. When you are invited to try the game, though, that...

Re: Pitching DCC to potential players.

Let me know if you need any help making a flyer. I am currently making a Judge's Screen for my own use, using the Snapshot tool in Adobe to clip artwork for the player's side of the screen. The problem with DCC isn't that there is a lack of evocative artwork, making it hard to find some to use, but ...

Re: DCC RPG- having problems getting it to work for me/us.

Suggesting that something might not scratch your particular itch shouldn't be taken as an insult; no ruleset is for all people. That said, there is some very good advice here, I think. The limitations of that advice are, of course, our ability to parse out exactly why you are having difficulties. So...
