Save yourself a little cash and write a chart: it's just a d20 with vague answers written on it floating inside there, anyways.

One of my old DMs actually broke open the Magic 8-ball and rolled the die he found therein.

arion would be appendix n. it is pulpy mix of science fantasy atlantis and sword and sorcery warriors, wizards, sub-human barbarians and jackal headed hordes. maybe it is not particulary good reading but it is pulpy. Oh, yeah. DC's "Warlord" is pretty Appendix N as well. Very Burroughs-es...

are you talking the stuff in the rpg book or the Book of Battle? I mostly played the first edition, and I don't recall which book the mass combat rules were in back then. I haven't looked in depth at more recent editions, so I don't know how much it has changed. The description of the Book of Battl...

The McDevitt Art Folio. The Mullen Folio is for any orders in Nov or Dec.

I'll second that. Pendragon's battle rules have always been my favorite as well. I've adapted them to numerous other games across the years.

We've talked about the sources for various spells, monsters, and classes, but what classic traps appear in Appendix N literature? Where do things like the poison needle and the spiked pit show up? I really can't recall many traps in the stuff I've read, but I'm sure they must be there. Maybe I just ...

BeatnikTom's Righteous DCC Playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user/1219290832/playlist/4Vk7i5JoCrzlTjTZkmH7A0 I went and made a Spotify playlist as well, though mine's intended more for inspiration than for during play. And for good measure I added a big chunk of yours to mine. :) http://open.spotif...

Why do elves have pointy ears?

There has to be *some* point to elves...

The various P. Craig Russell adaptations of Elric stories are good if you can find them. The other Elric comics are pretty hit or miss, IMO.

I don't know why these guys see Aquaman here; I always see Aquaman as the clean-shaven guy from the old Superfriends cartoon and not the bearded guy. I watched Superfriends as a kid, but that Aquaman never did anything for me. My first exposure to Aquaman in the comics was in the 90's, so bearded p...

Looks more like Aquaman to me.

The first Cerebus collection is great for some Appendix N parody. Elrod of Melvinbone, Bran MacMuffin...good stuff.

Yay, thanks. Dunno why I couldn't find that thread when I was looking. It's obvious now.

The subject pretty much says it all. Which 3PP items could I pay for and get today? Which ones are PDF only and which ones are actually printed? I find I'm having a difficult time keeping up with all this 3PP info, and I want to a) buy some, and b) occasionally promote them on the DCC RPG Facebook p...

This is exactly why I don't usually bother with alignments in my games.

I think an argument could be made that Cthulhu is Neutral, but most of his followers are Chaotic. I think this is an important distinction. Puny human intellect does not always properly understand the workings of MIGHTY GODS. One can serve a Lawful power, while being Chaotic themselves (and vice ve...

For the record, the rules state on page 95: Luck is typically used to affect a character's attack rolls, damage rolls, spells checks, thief checks, and saving throws, but it can also be used for other purposes. The rules also say that Luck can modify rolls in life or death situations , so I think a ...

My local store tells me they're all on back order as well. They've never got copies in despite trying to order them several times.

And this is in Kentucky.

As far as DCC RPG game reports go, I'm particularly interested in hearing about how the random results of things steered the game and inspired wacky events.

What happened to the link at the top of the forums that took one to the main website? Can it come back please?

Sounds great! Just out of curiousity, how is A Canticle for Liebowitz? I've heard it recommended several times but never any details or reasons... A Canticle for Liebowitz is a great read, IMHO, YMMV, etc. I concur. Just finished it myself not that long ago. Good post-apocalyptic stuff, though not ...

This topic comes up regularly on these forums. Check out these other threads for more (and some of the same) ideas: http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=41457&p=85956 http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=22666 http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/vi...

I've been thinking about trying it with a Flash Gordon-esque sci fi setting.

Or maybe more Barbarella than Flash Gordon.

As a matter of fact, I live in Lexington and wouldn't mind playing once in a while. I know there is a group starting up in Richmond soon as well.

Will any of the other artists be there?

EDIT: This is post #666 for me.
