New to this Dungeon, seeking sage advice

Hail! I am new to DCC, but have been playing, running, and writing RPG stuff since the '90s. Having played a funnel ("Portal") a couple years back, I was hooked, and now running funnel demos for every able-bodied peasant in the village! Ha! I LOVE the way this game is uncramped by over-quantifying rules, which can stymie an imaginative player or judge. That being said, there are SO many things I would know...

Are there any other rule books beyond the core, 3rd party or otherwise, that add options, spells, classes, patrons, etc? I fully intend to devise my own world complete with mythos, but would like a little more head start with the game "as Crom (and Goodman) intended" before I get all home-brew y.
