Goodman Games

First off, welcome to DCC! I was thinking the People of the Pit, but think the plot might be a little too similar to Doom to do them back to back. I was thinking the same thing because the summaries of the adventures are so similar, but after reading Meadhelm's Road Crew report, Pariahs Pitted Again...

There was an interesting discussion about it during the " Bride of Cyclops Con - What's New With Goodman Games " starting at 1:19:30. Joseph talked about finishing the editing in January 2021. My guess is a Kickstarter in Spring or early Summer 2021... Anybody else have something more prec...

Sounds like a cool and, let's be honest, really weird adventure. Love it! Please keep the diaries coming!

We learned at Bride of Cyclops Con that they're working on a Hardcover reprint. Late 2021 or early 2022. More info in the "Bride of Cyclops Con - AMA with Joseph Goodman" video on YouTube starting at 44:35.

Side note, why am I having so much trouble embedding a video!

When can I play in one of your games?!? My imagination loved that scene!

They've done the great Sailors of the Starless Sea at an earlier time, and I plan to do Doom when they get to the Land of the Eight Cities. I wonder how other people link together DCC adventures, or does everyone play one offs? Honestly, I like it that the DCC modules can take about 3 to 5 sessions...

I actually rule it the other way, that you have to throw it with an attack roll. Because you can hurl it, but you don't have to hurl it, you could do something else with it (like, use it to stop a door from completely closing or something). If you could somehow "telekinetically" make it f...

I would say it depends how you interpret the spell: 1 - It's a ball and you have to throw it "manually" so you have to do a additional missile check (Agility). 2 - It's a ball of force that the wizard created and has full control. Therefore, it will hit whatever (within reason) he wants it...

There's Doom of the Savage Kings that is fairly "normal". The hound of Hirot isn't over the top and there's a lot of role-play invoolved. I would recommend that. Maybe have the innkeeper write to somebody in Lankhmar that they know and ask for help with the whole situation in Hirot. Sailor...

Wow! That is really cool! I love the 8-bit DOS/Basic look. I think you should ask the "To hit" modifier next to the weapon as well as the damage and modifier. That's always useful. I'm pretty sure the Core-Rule Book character generation is the same as the Quick Start Rules so there shouldn...

Per the rulebook: Wizards and clerics tap into different kinds of magic. Wizards specialize in the better-known fields of black magic, elemental magic, and enchantment. Clerics receive the direct assistance of their gods in a style of magic called idol magic, which may or may not be similar to the p...

During Bride of Cyclops Con, Dark Master talked about maybe publishing a collection of several issues later on. Nothing is for sure but just so you know.

Happened again. Charged into a guard post in DCC Lankhmar where there were 6 ghouls. Cast color spray - 4 of them instantly unconscious, pretty much end of the battle. I hate that damn spell, and the rule that you roll to save using the caster's roll as the DC is ridiculous, because it makes the sa...

There isn't. It's the same rules as the DCC core rulebook. Unless there's some specific things mentioned in the adventure.

Game on!

Where do you get your +2 from? The only place I see where it can come from is in the location below of the stat block (+3 in this example). If that is indeed what you mean, it's the attack modifier the ghoul has. So you roll your D20, add 2 (the +2) and you have to hit higher than the PCs AC. Beetle...

The practical difference however is fairly negligible, which is why I tend to just go with the Dice Chain for situational things. Agreed but don't forget that there is an important psychological difference. It's way more fun rolling a bigger dice! :D In a way, the dice chain is the equivalent of Ad...

I love following your adventures. So if I understand correctly, your players went through Tower of the Black Pearl as a funnel and are now playing Doom of the Savage Kings as 1st level characters. I'm curious about some things about the Meta Game. Was it obvious for each player what class each villa...

Ok, so it's not a city and might not suit your needs but I find that "Doom of the Savage Kings" has a pretty good town map. It's small but in a way it captures the essence of DCC RPG: " Most everyday peasants in a medieval setting never travel more than a few miles from their places o...

An awesome adventure!

I agree. And it's a nice change of pace as it involve a lot more investigation and roleplay.

What a story! Thanks again for the write-up! I have not run this adventure so it's hard to tell what is part of it and what is improv from your part and/or the players but I really like the part where they took the braziers and transformed them into a canoe. Very clever work by the players. Also, it...

Hmmm.... wondering what happened to this project.

I'm also wishing for a Hardback re-print edition. I got into DCC after the Kickstarter and right before they sold out. :( This was also mentioned on Episode 102: Revenge of the Mailbag! It seems as it would be next on the list but nothing has been officially confirmed by GG. One thing that Judge Jen...

I'll be honest... I was skeptical. But then I read the spell and I can see your point! :shock: Thanks for the warning! A few suggestions and comments: 1 - Does it happen that the Wizard loses the spell from time to time? Because on a roll from 2 to 7 (as a 3rd level, 13 int. wizard), it's lost until...

Thanks for sharing!

I always had the impression Doom of the Savage Kings and People of the Pit were twin adventures since their summaries both start with the sacrificing of villagers to appease the beast. Now I see they're completely different. Another adventure that I have to add to my list!

Thanks for sharing! It also gave me an idea for an upcoming campaign.
