how can i submit stuff to Crawl?

i just ordered all of these!

The death rate is quite high in DCC. Me & my players want to give the characters a better chance of survival and get a bit of a campaign going. I let my players have 2 Fate Points at 1st level as per the WFRP rules and I let them add their character's Stamina score to their hit points. I'm allo...

i really don't know if i will ever go back to D&D. If quality third party supplements keep coming out for this game, it will excel in every way from D&D. i'd love to see a carefully thought out spell book with tons of new spells, i find that those are tricky to create myself. And it would be...

Egg of Surprises (Artifact, lesser, Neutral) Description : This metallic golden egg is 6” tall and encrusted with rare gems. If twisted counterclockwise the egg clicks open to release one of 5 random mechanized creatures that amble out, one at a time, as detailed below, growing from a small toy to ...

Xylophone of Discordance
Xyst of Athleticism
Yacht of Decadent Delights (artifact)
Yarn, Maiden’s
Zarf of Refreshment
Zither of Whispers
Zoo, Enchanted, of King Gling (artifact)

xylophone and xither i can probably use. I actually have EGGS already! So yolk might be redundant. Egg of Exquisite Taste (Very Rare, Neutral) Description : These enchanted eggs look exactly like normal white or brown chicken eggs. However, when cracked and cooked in a dish (or fried or boiled or sc...

ooh, ZARF, i like that one, a magical cup holder of some kind. never even heard of that word. thanks.

yeah, X is a tough one, but i found this while researching:

Xyst
n. 1. (Anc. Arch.) A long and open portico, for athletic exercises, as wrestling, running, etc., for use in winter or in stormy weather.

For Z, i was going to do Zoo, Enchanted, of King Gling and make it an artifact, a place filled with magical or rare animals behind enchanted bars, so it's more of a "place" than a thing.

and if anyone has interesting suggestions for X, Y or Z, i'm all ears.

Excellent idea. Thanks.

here's another one. Quill of the Sage (Very Rare, Neutral) Description : This amazing coutal-feather quill has the ability to animate itself and transcribe whatever the speaker says in whatever language he would like it written, even if he cannot read or write that language himself. It requires no i...

Medallion of the Magus (Very Rare, Neutral) Description : This heavy medallion is constructed from extremely rare meteoric iron. When worn by a wizard it conveys a number of powerful abilities to aid spellcasting: every 24 hours the medallion recharges with 2 “spellpoints” that the caster can use t...

so, does this sound like it would fit in well contextually with the DCC RPG?

When worn by a wizard it conveys a number of powerful abilities to aid spellcasting: every 24 ...

does the bonus to hit and damage also apply to the Deed? So it's not like a trade off thing? Sacrifice the known bonus to hit and damage for MAYBE a heroic action? This is a common misconstrual of the rules for Deed. The Deed Die adds to the attack, adds to the damage, and tells you if a Deed was s...

One way to get at that +1 to +20 could be "double the earliest level at which you'd imagine characters obtaining the item, more or less" for ease of estimation.

good idea!

ok, how about this, a PC gets 2 chances to save his magic thingee if he's holding or using it. An unattended magic item is automatically touched and must make a saving throw against DC 25 or become permanently mundane. If the item is being held or worn a PC can make a Reflex save with the DC as the ...

well, if it helps, this is actually a very, very rare monster power that PCs will never get their hands on, it's purely something to terrify them. :) So the DC is "monster attack" to touch. So i guess the easiest way to mitigate this is that "simple items" have a low saving throw...

well, yes, this is essentially like a dispel magic check with a 32-33 result for permanent destruction. In the spell, your caster score has to overcome the DC required to construct the item (which still has tons of variables). But in my case, this can be done round after round, so i don't want it to...

but rate against what? Magic items don't have levels. Characters barely have levels in this game compared to D&D. By 5th they are legend worthy, by 10th they are probably demigods.

i'm working on this thing that can destroy magic items. First it has to touch it. If it hits, the item gets a saving throw or is permanently destroyed. The DC will be the roll to touch it. What is the easiest and logical way to ad-hoc a bonus to a magic item? Or should i approach it from the other d...

haha, well, i got to the U's and had a problem, i could only come up with Undergarments! Brazier of Seduction, Leggings of Warmth, Socks of the Profane (cursed!) Think you mean brassiere? A brazier is something quite un-undergarmently... :-) Unless, of course, you switch that to "Brazier of Wa...

Brazier of Seduction While flickering flames do lend a romantic effect to almost any room, I'm unclear as to how anyone could wear this under their clothes. But I admit that it will doubtless make the person possessing it steamy, and glow from within with a passion (to jump out of their skin, no do...
