There you go, my friend! It is my own Google Doc character sheet for DCC. A free printable version is available on DrivethruRPG, if the need ever rises. I hope you find it useful. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yDb35e4U-XgNfEGyyS_xV5T1TKNM1SseBWOLMId_-bc/edit?usp=sharing This is just what I ne...

1) There are a great many threats that are not enemies swinging a weapon. 2) You could rule that the Disarm attacks the weapon and does not damage the wielder. 3) Why is this a problem? Maybe the repetition is boring for you, but that's what the player likes, and it shouldn't always be the optimal c...

Does anyone have a generic DCC character sheet in Google Docs? Or MS Word that I could convert?

Client.

Warlords of the Purple Planet. Rules are floating about, but I haven't seen anything about an official release.

There's some early info here http://www.goodmangames.com/forums/view ... hp?t=46463 and there http://dougkovacs.com/dkblog/?p=1125

I think there was more stuff on G+ over the years; I don't know if it exists anywhere now.

There are, perhaps, things the party could do other than run up to foes and attack them. Is melee combat the only option in your game? Do they even out more with ranged attacks? A "walking tank" may not be the best at running over rooftops or wading through sewers, either (esp. if they're wearing ar...

By RAW, a Halfling fighting with two weapons automatically hits and crits on a 16. Armor Class be damned!

I stand corrected. And, that's awesome!

Wouldn't a halfling still only crit on a natural 16 when doing two-weapon fighting? 6.25%?

As long as the attack beats AC. It's almost double that to roll a 16 on at least one of the two dice. Bonuses would help the attacks land, but RAW crits come up about 12.1% of the time.

I've been running DCC for my middle school students at our weekly after-school gaming club. Does this qualify as "public" gaming for Road Crew purposes? I'd love to give out some swag to these bloodthirsty preteen murder hobos.

I'm not sure "should" figures in. What affects time for a round in an RPG: Do the players know what they're doing when their turns come up? Can the Judge quickly rule (if needed) and describe the action and then move on to the next thing? One feature more DCC-specific is lookup time. Spell rolls, cr...

RAW a warrior/dwarf can attempt a reed with any attack , so I wouldn't limit to one per round. I waver a bit on the multiple attack deed die issue. I'm leaning at the moment towards this: one deed die for the round if it makes sense as one action or deed attempt (say, the dwarf hitting high with the...

You're right! The spellcasting classes will differentiate the most. Thief skills vary by alignment. For warriors, I can think of only the lucky weapon as different from one to the next. Developing signature Mighty Deeds can help with variety. On the whole, DCC just isn't as baked-in option-heavy as ...

P. 73 of the rulebook: One flask of oil burns for 6 hours in a lantern.

That's it.

Yes, IIRC they were included as a stretch goal for the 4th printing KS. (Irrelevant datum: I never got the dice or pencils, and wasn't able to get it resolved; BUT I managed to acquire all 3 dice at conventions. DCC judges are nice people who give away swag.)

DCC #94: Neon Knights is a Purple Planet tie-in, and adds a bit of territory. I think the PP is a really rich setting, and has plenty of room to expand outside the plateau and underplanet. (Where are those sky raiders going?) It might work better in campaign play to tone down its default hostile nat...

I've used warm vs. cold, light vs. heavy, even had the item pull or drop for a big reaction.

I think I'd rule it this way, but roll a new mercurial magic result for each wizard that didn't know the spell. And apply them all, of course.

If they held an all-DCC convention in Cross Plains, Texas, I would attend every year. The smallish North Texas RPG Con is in DFW every year (first Thursday-Sunday in June). There's usually good DCC representation -- I can fill up my schedule pretty easily, and I've gotten to play with some awesome ...

I think VTTs may be "easy" to use for a game in which everyone's rules-as-written are the same rules. DCC can be trickier, with mercurial and corruption effects, rolls affected by spellburn or luck flying around or situational dice chain effects or judge fiat or house rules.... DCC is punk rock, and...

I played through this module (as a chaotic thief). The party actually functioned together very well until the end. I can't speak to the other players' motives, but my character sold out to Chaos without reservation. I played it cool, supporting the mission (aside from a little side-looting) and bidi...

If I were in your situation, I would try using the Kith class from the Purple Planet (84B has the write-up). I believe there was an Orc class or two in one of the Crawl! issues you could adapt.

This just means that when a plantient burns one point of luck, the die result is increased by two.

As with pure human characters, the plantient regenerates luck only up to the permanent luck score.

I'll (humbly) suggest checking out the 2018 Gongfarmer's Almanac, due out in a few weeks. There may be some ideas.
