Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo
I love me some Solomon Kane. Would he be modeled after one of the classes in Transilvanian Adventures? Also I hear what you say about lack of mix and matching classes. Shame because some of those sound really cool. Would the presence of a wizard or cleric really unbalance things that much? I can on...

Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo
I am very very interested in this class. Would this be the typical horror protagonist that trust into horror situations comes out on top because of sheer will and succeeds where more trained people would fail? Also as a sidenote - how compatible would those classes be to vanilla DCC? And - I am ver...

Re: Unarmored Warriors
To be clear I am not calling for a new class for this. Just a choice for warriors. Light-armor/no armor seems a big Appendix N trope so I am experimenting a little with DCC to get this effect. Crom forbid me from having a new class for it. Just a possibility for fighters to be unarmored and still ef...

Re: How about some alternate classes
I've been thinking about making a barbarian style class, the typical mighty berserker of old, that does not have the proper martial training of a warrior but makes it up with might and fury. Also a variant unarmored warrior, because in my world material for armor is very limited and only rich people...

Re: Unarmored Warriors
Makes sense but still there is no incentive not to wear armor. Speed, check, fumble penalty? Isn't that enough? When one of the PCs dies because he couldn't run fast enough, or rolled a nasty fumble, they'll think about twice next time, whether it's a good idea to always wear heavy armour or not. A...

Re: Unarmored Warriors
The solution is already in the rules - DCC models the Appendix N fiction damn well. Conan - mid level Warrior who has high Agility, who does a Defensive Deed if necessary and isn't afraid to Burn Luck. Makes sense but still there is no incentive not to wear armor. Which some Appendix N characters c...

HackMaster
Any fans of HackMaster on the DCC boards? I personally have seen the Hacklopedia and it is ONE HELL of a monster book. Great resource and really flavourful. The PHB is also shaping up to be one mighty system. The new edition features new mechanics, non-static defense in combat etc. I check it out bu...

Re: What do you have in minds for your players?
What is funny is that the Appendix N characters and stories were not really that inclined towards mortality and death. Oh sure it happened around them but not to them. That is not to say that the party will get off scot free. Where do I find episodes? I totally want to see it! I might turn my campa...

Re: What do you have in minds for your players?

Obviously it will not be pirate-themed but a quest for a series of weird artifacts, the corruption consuming the land, a mutated warlord on the heels of the party, weird monsters, more weird artifacts ...

Excellent news. Sooo.... now that the proofs are approved and the presses are rollin', how long until the books start shipping? ^_^ I was about to ask the same thing. We got the PDF today and, by Crom, it is glorious but when can we get our sweaty, grubby little paws on the real thing. And the adve...

I've only just begun reading the PDF, but I'll say this: I am very impressed. Not only is the book gorgeous , it's also well written and imaginative. I've already found myself nodding and smiling as I read. This is good stuff. Coming from James this is high praise and I wonder how Dwimmermount woul...

Re: Unarmored Warriors
Also as I am skimming my copy of the DCC RPG pdf there are several pictures of lightly armored/non-armored warriors. Take for example the picture at page 376. Clearly no armor. So I think the vibe of the DCC rpg should really include non-armored warriors.

Re: Unarmored Warriors
I thought the book Conan always fought with an iron vest (something which was very different than movie Conan). Which Appendix N personalities fought without armour? I suppose you could make a case for the Grey Mouser, but he was hardly a warrior anyway. Conan wore armor on occasion but there were ...

Re: Unarmored Warriors
Is Myth & Magic the 2e retro-clone? If it is, it's OGL, and therefore any tidbits are portable to any other d20/OGL game. How does it work? Could it be adopted to DCC RPG? Could you swap, say the Level mod to Initiative for it? You [should] share it. Write up a DCC RPG version of it, and post i...

Re: Unarmored Warriors
There's an old-edition rule (i forget which, 0e?) that Fighter's with high Dexterity could Parry, which was effectively a bonus to their AC (enemies had penalties to their attacks.) This could be the same thing as Agility as AC. Also remember the abstract nature of "D&D" combat. Hit P...

Re: Unarmored Warriors
I originally talked about this issue in the Classic Modules thread. In my mind many of the Appendix N warriors are not the classic heavily armored warriors of DnD. In fact most of them do rely on skill and parrying and dodging versus armor. Sure Conan wears mail or leather from time to time but mos...
