Yeah, and you mention being a dirty ape like it's a bad thing.

*scratches oily butt-hair*

@Gameogre: I think I agree with you, with one caveat. What I find, in a game as in real life, is that many people think they can get away by telling lies, but most people that are witness to a lie sense it (at least in-person; media reported information is another matter). I.e. good liers are incred...

I have no resources to suggest, but I find the turn of events in your game to be very amusing

Tell us more if you feel like it!

I should add that the very first scene of my homebrew funnel occured in a barn where the PCs were hired to resolve a mystery, and 10 minutes into the game the barn was set on fire (and the doors, blocked from outside) and the PCs needed to escape while a few (3?) archers waited outside for those tha...

I'm no game designer, but I've run a short (about 12-15 session long) homebrew DCC campaign including a 5-6 session long funnel. Here are some thoughts. So I decided to try my hand at DM'ing outside of a module for the first time in DCC. I am trying to start with a funnel and my first idea was to ba...

"Down?", asks Maledict. "Hold", says Sufferus. "Maybe this place holds more than meets the eye. You there," he asks Fred, "do you think you might find anything in this bedchamber? Perhaps keys or important information?" Sufferus knocks on the wooden panels to ...

Maledict readies himself to follow Yoros. Sufferus picks up Morgil's foot (he assumes that's him) and also descends.

RC:

Is "Morgil" an elvish (-sounding) name, to Sufferus' knowledge?

"I can't read this, this is elvish."

Is "Morgil" an elvish name?

Skyscraper casts the cantrip "pout", and then his highest level spell "plane shift" and disappears forever.

"It seems like this person was interested in the moon. And the strange creatures found there." Was it you, Morgil the Sage? In what language are the books and notes written? If he's capable of reading the language, Sufferus takes a few minutes to see if one or more books would indicate who...

AFWIW, you sir, are taking this assault on your opinions with much grace and class. Thank you for that! :D Wait I'm not done with him yet, I'm barely getting warmed up, I plan on additional spells: "Mordenkainen's annoying poster who doesn't let go" and also "Cone of personal insults...

Gnomeboy, I must warn you, I have two spells prepared today:

"Boccob's always right when arguing on the internet"

and

"cooking pan shield"

Just so you know.

... If the letter of the rule is what you're looking at, the rule says "a die roll", a deed die is a die roll. ... If you enter the "what is a roll" questioning, then it applies to all die rolls, improving a failure to a success should be prohibited for all die rolls if you proh...

Yoros enters, slack-jawed. "It's like some kind of womb of horrors down here..." "How does this place get us closer to our goal? I've gotten a bit turned around, I think." Brother Sufferus doesn't take his eyes off the papers he's inspecting when he replies. "We must unders...

Maledict moves down into the room, and slowly moves around the room around warily, to see if anything hides behind one of the drawing boards. "What in the purest water's name is this place?", he asks in disgust. He speaks softly to his sword: "Lady Blackrush, please avert your eyes, f...

I think that the entire "what is a roll" and "what is a result" approach, while it makes sense on a purely logicial basis, is too profound for this game's approach. Personnaly, I'd allow the deed die to be improved by luck. (I've changed my mind on this topic.) If the letter of t...

"This trap is not trapped? Good", confirms Maledict. He opens the trap door, ready to skewer the first thing that has a head that presents itself beyond said trap door. If nothing springs at him to attack, he inspects the room below. If he can't see anything, he lights a torch. If there is...

Sufferus brings the body of the dead elf along. Unless otherwise noted, he'll pull the body, sliging him along the floor, holding him by one foot as he pulls. He'll drop the foot to act whenever there is trouble, whenever searching, or doing something requiring his attention (searching a room, etc.....

Sufferus tries to recreate the exact strokes that would have caused the wounds, placing the weapons in the wounds, his face an expression of lust as he does. Maledict snaps out of his daydreaming. "So, shall we?" he walks towards the trapdoor and waits for the others to say they're ready b...

Sufferus smells the ground, like a dog looking for something. Walking and both hands and feet, he moves about the room, sniffing, looking under the control boxes, under the telescope, stopping to smell Yoros' feet. He then moves to the bodies of the creatures that attacked his companions. He pulls o...

I also rule for the good time.

Hmm, maybe you're right. I'll think about it. I like to be pretty transparent with my players and if they don't like something, I hope they tell me. In fact, I ask them to :) So if it's a problem that I improvise to generate secret doors and treasure, maybe I shouldnt. My gaming habits are in a cons...

Maledict, who doens't even know what keeping a grudge means, offers an apple to Yoros, and then takes one himself, and seems to take sudden interest in a place that is neither here nor now. He zones out as he eats his apple. Sufferus, meanwhile, frowns as he looks about. He inspects the circle drawn...

I wish I had more time to put my thoughts together, but my basic take is this: It hurts my suspension of disbelief when I get a sense that the DM is too explicitly choosing to insert things in the world because it would be fun (or cool, or epic, or whatever). For example, I find it jarring if I beg...
