Re: Rules printed out and put into plastic binder. Some thou

I've actually heard the same comment in a couple of other places. I didn't think about it because I don't plan on printing it for a couple of weeks. But it does make sense...unless you're looking to push people to buy the hard copy when it comes out* :wink:

I am extremely happy and appreciative of the timing. Now I have something to read on the plane to Disney. Screw that...I'll have devoured it by then.

Thanks guys...excellent news! My kids will be thrilled!

Re: DCCRPG Blackmoor Dungeons Playtest at Gen Con 2011

Yeah...if you're looking for passersby, the Condo is not the place*. OTOH, we do have all the amenities. And we can always provide the address here to folks interested... Not to push it on you. Just to let you know the offer stands. *ETA: It's not like the Condo is in the suburbs; its about 5 block ...

Re: Upcoming playtests of DCC RPG

If they get me a beta (or playtest!) version, I would run a game here at my house in Crystal Lake.


The playtest at Garycon was awesome. It's looking really good.

And it's here where I think MDA and an unarmed crits table would help out as you level up. Well, I am a big fan of crit tables... :) Some good ideas in this thread. I like the idea of something that plays off the basic "crit table" concept. Maybe a grapple is a normal attack roll...then t...

Yes please, Tavis.

You can even run it at The Condo if you like.

Re: DCC RPG Playtests in Chicago prior to GaryCon

Hi everyone, I'll probably in Chicago for a couple days before or after Gary Con. I'm planning to run a public playtest if anyone is interested, probably out at Games Plus (one of my all-time favorite game stores). If you're not able to make Gary Con and are interested in taking part, let me know.....

Re: Power scale of DCC

Hell, even getting to 1st level would be an accomplishment. Last year I ran 4 or 5 playtest games at GaryCon, and in the very ...
