Hi All,

It may already exist for the game and I'm just gapping, but what is your favourite way to inject mutant plant player characters into MetAl?

With all the great material that's been created for the game over the years, they seem to be the only ones still left out.

Thanks,

L

Interesting.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I'm going to see how well DCC can handle a Party v Party warband-style skirmish game.

Has anyone else done that? Do you have any observations or suggestions to share?

Thanks,

L

Reminder:

*¡WANT!*

I'm not on the book but I am *very* interested in this.

That said, do you have a link for the book page it's on? I'd like to read the comments and conversation.

Please keep us posted about it.

*VERY* interested.

or, Giants in the Earth Hi All, I’d like to see the interwebs celebrate the life of Tom Moldvay on his birthday upcoming, 5 November 2018. Since Giants in the Earth is one of my favourite article series from the early days of Dragon, I invite you all to stat up a hero from Appendix N or some other s...

So, is this gonna be a thing?

'Cause I'd buy this thing.

My obsession with spider-goats found this:

In the Index on page 272, and in the License material on the next page, Caprapod and Caprapod Warder are misspelled Carapod and Carapod Warder, respectively.

Will Rock & Shudder -- for Purple Planet & Chained Coffin, respectively -- be available through distro after GenCon?

Ah right. Of course.
Thanks for that observation.

Hi All, Has it been said in any of the 1st ed books, articles, etc. how much time has passed since the disaster? "The Total Person in MetAl" (Dragon 14) mentions ninth generation mutants. If we call a generation ~30 years that's 270 years. I'm cool with that but has a tighter time been sta...

Thanks. Under Physical Weapons it gives base STR 12, +2 for (per?) 10 power points invested. A friend just pointed that out. And yeah for CON I've decided on 12+1d6, maybe 14+1d4. I like the randomness to allow for Friday jobs, use of make-do materials, etc. I need the CON stat more for conversion o...

O is for 'Oids.

R is for Robot.

R is also for Radiation.

Hi All,
Is there a rules-as-written way to determine Robot PC Constitution and Strength?
The point-buy rules determine the Resistances and Dex; that part I get.
Thanks,
Legion

Is the link to the 2nd printing E&C the most recent?
Is the 3rd print pdf I just downloaded from rpgnow all good to go?
Thanks.

Hi All,
I understand there are plans to publish one per year in ascending levels (starting with 1) for ten years. Love, love, love the idea!

But will there be a 0-Level funnel starting adventure?

*** cough *** Zero and Third next year. *** cough ***

Thanks,
Legion

Thanks Düds!

Should I be concerned that I've found the listing page for it even though it lacks an "add to cart" button?

I'm hoping it's just a place holder?

This: On this we'd have to disagree. I like Luck to be a Stat, I don't like it to be a pool of points. I'm doing my best, especially in the funnel 0-level adventure, to give Luck an important role. For example, I use Luck for a chance of finding a hidden door, or noticing a trap that the PCs were'nt...

Just registered an account here to say that even if this was meant as a joke, it has inspired me to write a hex-crawl wilderness adventure based on some sort of pilgrimage for my group. The 0-level starting characters are just perfect for this! I just have to decide whether to call it "The Cth...

I like everything said so far. I'm of the mind that this entire fiction-inspired-game genre -- and DCC's Appendix N focus in particular -- is really about just two adventuring classes (meaning PCs inspired by the protagonists of novels and short stories): Sword/Warriors and Sorcery/Wizards. Every ot...

Seconded.

Legion

Thanks Dude.

After a brief web-o-rama I found this to round them out:

This crew is a natural for the 0-Level abattoir.

The Tales are public domain right?

Hmmm.

What you said. All of it.
