Edited for clarity on 12/14/20 Fellow Adventurers in Terra AD My latest, updated look at how to play Shamans within the context of just what the Core Book tells us. This is a big change to what I've done before, but I think I've figured it out. MCC classes are at heart, simple. All my previous effor...

Edited on 5/15/21 to add new resources Greetings Fellow Wasteland Wanderers! What resources are there out there to help you enjoy and expand your MCC game? Glad you asked!

Hey maceo_the_escher Generally, I'm with you about not giving AC for helmets. In the context of MCC, it seems to work, though. Outside of artifacts, there are few ways to gain much AC from armor. Allowing a bit of piecemeal armor makes up for the lack of chainmail or plate armor. Feel free to share ...

Hey Disgruntled Poet

Since you've offered to answer questions, can you jump over to my A-B-C's of Shamans post, and give me your answers to the questions I posted there?

Your Thundarr-like game sounds like a lot of fun.

Happy gaming...

As a relatively new purchaser of the products I do get the impression that the system just isn't fully supported anymore and the community is not very active. There is an official MCC adventure coming out soon. Find an announcement on this very forum. Enchiridion of the Computarchs has been arrivin...

Hey maceo_the_escher Like you, I am relatively new to MCC/DCC. DCC Lankhmar is when I first got interested in DCC, and that was after the Kickstarter. That led me to DCC in general, and then to MCC, of which I am a fan -- it reminds me of MA and Gamma World, but with better mechanics. I enjoy the ap...

MCC CORE BOOK 2ND PRINTING ERRATA Updated on 12/6/20 Started with the post gathering the errata part 2 for the revised corebook on 082417: https://goodman-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=48128&start=25 Uncorrected Errata from this list (updated where needed for changes in page numbers,...

Edited with minor updates on 12/13/20 Greetings Fellow Travelers on the Barren Wastes, While I was looking through things on the forum, I came across the 2017 MCC Core Book Errata Part 2 post made for the 2nd printing of the MCC Core Book, and it got me to thinking about what errata there might be ...

Maceo_the_escher I'm glad it is working. Good catch on the text on p. 10. I think that reinforces the option you were recommending concerning non-gift programs. I like it as it treats them the same way as active mutations -- use them until you fail a check. Invoke Patron AI and the gift programs wor...

Great! I've been looking forward to this coming out. I signed up to play in a session of it in Bride-of-CyclopsCon, but the session was cancelled (which was a bummer, because it was the reason I signed up for the Con in the first place). There is a shortage of level 2 adventures, so I'm glad to see ...

Hey maceo_the_escher Thanks for the comments and answers to my questions! I did not make the sheet editable, but you should be able to download it and use it without any problems. Let me know if that doesn't work, and I will change the permissions. (The problem I've had with letting people edit a sh...

WhiteLily One option, depending on your Judge, might be to spend a point of luck to avoid the defect. Mutations and wetware are patterned on DCC spellcasting, and in DCC Wizards can burn a point of luck to avoid a point of corruption when they roll a 1. I would probably allow it when rolling a 1 on ...

Well Met Fellow Travelers Upon the Wastes New characters get to fill out their starting equipment by rolling twice on Table 1-4 Additional Beginning Equipment, on p 18 of the MCC Core Book. That table has a pretty good selection of equipment, but this also doubles as the non-artifact equipment list ...

Well Met Fellow Travelers on the Waste MCC Extended and Advanced Occupations Tables https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak88KIALsgrVifp_pbBWXOeAAamwVw?e=7hsF9o MCC assumes a Neolithic civilization level, but the starting occupations provided are more Paleolithic in nature, better befitting a small tribe of nomadic ...

Hail and Well Met Fellow Travelers in the Wastes I have put together a simple comparison of the MCC classes to help me and my group understand and compare the MCC classes. Provided in case anyone else might find it useful. Let me know if I've left something out: MCC Class Comparisons Manimal : D7 HP...

Fellow Travelers in the Waste While this holds together ok, I still I have areas I'd like help from the MCC brain trust to answer. 1) Based on the quote from p. 140, I have applied the Patron AI Bond result to determine the frequency of how often the Shaman can use their programs. I'm not sure that ...

Edit 12/14/20 -- This is an old post, and I have replaced this approach with a better, simpler one that I think is actually what the rules have been telling me all along, but which I have missed due to my preconceived notions about the Shaman as an analogue to the Wizard or Cleric. They are not, any...

hey that looks great...but still dont answer my burning question...how does one compute the roll need on the patron id bond? i looked into dcc's clerics and it shows a d20+level+personality(i think that was it) is that done the same way here? Hey Manakin I realize this post is a bit old, but in cas...

Edited 12/7/20 This post was part 2 of my first attempt on figuring out how to determine Shaman programs. It has been superseded as noted in my first post to remove confusion over what post is the most current. I have taken the content, which discussed adding a second Patron AI, and added it to the ...

Edited 12/14/20 -- Updated the PDF to split the information into two categories -- what I consider essential rules clarifications or house rules, and optional house rules that you should consider adding if it makes your game more fun. Hey Fellow Travelers on the Barren Wastes What house rules have y...

Hey Macro_the_escher I have a copy of it and looked it over. It is pretty interesting and certainly looks playable. The class does not have a Patron AI. Instead it has some cyberlink technology that implants and imprints the Technomancer's programs into her mind. "The neural programs of technom...

Raven-Crowking Enchiridion of the Computarchs sounds like it is going to be very cool, and I plan to get it. In my entry, I was looking for a way to make the Shaman work within the Core rules, while trying to hew as close to the way I understood the designer had in mind for the class as possible. I'...

Edit 12/1/20 -- This is an old post, and I have replaced this approach with a better, simpler one that I think is actually what the rules have been telling me all along, but which I have missed due to my preconceived notions about the Shaman as an analogue to the Wizard or Cleric. They are not, any ...

And you could interpret it that way, too...

Happy gaming...

Gnomeboy, Your argument for the Warrior and Dwarf getting to roll a Mighty Deed die with each attack is a very good one. It is consistent with the language used in most of the places in the book: "Prior to any attack roll, a warrior can declare a Might Deed of Arms." (p. 42); "A warri...
