Goodman Games

I wanted to give a shout out to Michael Ferguson, the author of The Forgotten Sentinel. This little adventure really played well.

So how do we let Yamo know his post was responded to in a timely manner? He may not be checking in much these days!

We had fun, even when I had to take a few breaks to "look up a rule." C&C/AD&D is second nature to me, the DCC-RPG rules are a bit different. This is always "death" to a RPG. The more I have to break the action to look up a rule, the more I wish I was playing another gam...

Over all I think this beta ruleset seems to agree with Nightwing's play style.

It seems to me it would be easier to explain phantom revenue than to explain the purchase of a phantom product.

Well, it isn't DCC RPG box, but it will work. It is what I am going to put my DCC RPG stuff in. More details here: http://www.bravehalfling.com

I bought one on Thursday. How do I explain buying a box to my wife?

My friend, known as Nightwing on the board, and I used the Beta rules to take three characters through the adventure The Forgotten Sentinel from the DCC #29, The Adventure Begins. We had a blast. He has a 5th level thief, converted from a 6th level assassin from Castles & Crusades, a 2nd level w...

Well, we had about 18 trick-or-treaters and it's is now 8:30. The Chiefs are ahead against the Chargers 10-0! We've turned of the porch light, shooing our little ones, a pirate and a princess, to bed. Good night and I hope all had an enjoyable Halloween! P. S. -- For a good fun watch, we recommend T...

I personally recommend Lord Dunsany. His writings have such a mythical feel to them. Of course, Andre Norton's material is also indispensable as well.

So my top suggestions are:

1) anything by Lord Dunsany,

2) the writings of Andre Norton pre-1980.

I'm very pleased.

Thanks Joseph.

Of course many DMs just simplified the whole process by skipping XP and just saying everyone go up a level when it was appropriate for their game. Which almost makes a better system from a dramatic standpoint. There is merit in both approaches to leveling up. I am firmly in the "gain XP" ...

Keep up with smartalek comments like that and we'll revoke your "He-man Woman-hater" club membership!

Your sister is right.

Unless you are a bee keeper, it is a rare thing to see anything but female bees. The queen bee is the key to transporting a bee colony.

I would not want to attempt to HERD bees!

Pilgrim,

Good post.

Well ... yeah! That goes without saying. :lol: He can hang out in your garage! :lol: He'd have to hang out like a bat since the ceiling is about the only place that does not have boxes on or against it! :lol: On a serious note, I'm very excited to see this project moving forward towards completion.

Maybe Jospeh can be convinced that Goodman Games should also sell the PDF, maybe at a discount for pre-order folks, in which case you could get it in advance of the paper copy. Might save you the 2-3 week delay. Due to the awesomeness of the product, maybe abk108 should move! :lol: Yeah... Italy su...

Why can't my "history" posts garner even a bit of attention that these pesky "math" posts do!?? :P Welcome to the forums. Great first post. Er... What? Jmucchiello, Thanks for the welcome. Thank you for the comment. However, I've posted a couple of times prior to the above post!...

History is hard to debate, since anyone can be "right." Math arguments are such that if a person is "wrong" everyone jumps on it!

Curses!

A bad, bad dude!

Run awaaaay!!!!

Raskal, I'm jealous of your dice sets! Reverenddak, Me and my assistant manager are going thorough THE PORTAL UNDER THE STARS right now, being DMed by a co-worker. We've found what you speak of but are more interested in finding out how to destroy the half of that rod. Harley, We NEED a follow up to...

Your way produces more "serious" adventurers, the regular way can be a bit more comedic. This was the intention. I know my friends wouldn't like to play underpowered characters. But I don't want them to play optimized characters. Unfortunately, if your players are really that adverse to n...

My group enjoys experience points. It gives them a measure of where they are at any given point. We all like watching the gauge climb, so-to-speak.
