Goodman Games

It would safe to say "stay tuned."

Those are all the work of the very talented Barrie James, an accomplished Brit artist and illustrator. He did those for an early play test version of the rules that I typeset for ease of use and basically for myself and my players, as you do.

Due to popular demand, I will be running a play test of new MCC RPG adventure, "Assault on the Sky Tower" off the grid, likely on Thursday night. Stay tuned and/or come find me at the con (which is not hard - I'll be outside smoking). ~excerpt: The Garden of WEE-DN Outside the den of the t...

Because "character Klein bottle" just doesn't have the same ring to it...

Well if you're going to be in the Cincinnati area on Saturday, October 25, here's something to consider attending... The Dying Aereth: A DCC RPG Character Funnel Tournament The Dying Aereth DCC RPG tournament will present unique encounters and multi-genre play based in every version of the DCC RPG a...

Double +1 to everything Doug just said. I read The Dying Earth stories in publication order, and it's all good, but The Cugel the Clever stories are when the series really starts to sing!

There's a chance - I'll be driving up Friday and Saturday. Maybe at DougCon?

The dead dude has a floppy disk jammed sideways into his skull... *golf clap*

I don't think I can cram 11x14 paper through my printer.

I'm virtually certain that the PDF is the original MA rules as published by WardCo, in which case it's all 8.25" x 10.75".

You could probably use this chart for MA too….. not much magic there if any. Items are mostly for random flavor and for invoking fun things like poodle checks. (listen to the most recent spell burn post cast for an explanation of that) http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=87551#p8755...

I appreciate the kind words, but must reiterate that MCC is in early playtests and isn't even an official product yet, much less ready for any kind of release. That's all Joseph's call, and he will determine when and if anything comes of it. Meantime, there's lots of real stuff we can all go support...

I did this once in my old Gamma World campaign: the players stumbled across an ancient transmit machine left by the aliens who (in some MA scenarios) has already attacked the Warden. A few missed artifact checks later the group went from a forested mountain range to a tropical jungle surrounded by m...

Well my hometown is smaller than the Warden, but the "dungeon" in EttBP is supposed to be a jettisoned section from a larger colonization ship that met with disaster, so...

It would've been awesome of the ship that crashed in Expedition to the Barrier Peaks was a Warden ship. :D There is a connection. According to Jim Ward, there was a brief period of time when Gary was considering writing MA himself (from Jim's ideas), ultimately deciding to cut Jim loose with it. Fr...

Jim -- where did you get custom dice made, and what general cost are we talking about? I think it would be fun to design some dice! 8) From Eric Harshbarger, of whom I cannot say enough good things. He did a really quick turnaround for me and they were about $2 a pop, so cheaper and MUCH faster tha...

Need more robots in stuff.

Doug, I couldn't agree more

Yeah listen, if I seem at all tight lipped about this, it's for two reasons: 1.) It's a very early stage project at this point, i.e. initial play tests in small groups. In fact, the two Gary Con games were the first public play tests beyond my DCC group at home. 2.) Joseph and I are in discussions r...

If you weren't there or just plain missed it, here's video of the "What's New at Goodman Games?" seminar, including the Metamorphosis Alpha announcements... Enjoy!

That was me posting above not logged in

At Gary Con there was a "Mutant Crawl Classics" game being playtested. Joseph said that he was interested but not right away, as he wanted to continue his focus on fantasy DCC. This tells me that: (1) MCC could emerge as a third-party product, or (2) Goodman Games may wait a while and the...

Marv - please feel free to stop by one of my games or just catch me outside smoking. I'll tell you all about MCC RPG.

Thanks for being on the show, Doug! The added bonus of the virtual studio tour that you posted on your blog was the phlogiston icing on the creative cake.

Thanks, frimbooze! The show is being hosted by myself, Jobe Bittman, and Jeffrey Tadlock. We're not showing up in iTunes yet, but you can download the first episode directly from the website. This is a project that all three of us are quite passionate about. There's been a notable sea change the pas...

I'm in for Saturday at 5:30 pm!

I've never run the funnel, and the only two scenarios I've played were your play test of Escape of the Sea Queen and the Free RPG Day adventure that Scott ran.

I've been talking to Rick about starting a regular DCC RPG campaign, but we need players (besides just me). Rick's awesome playtest session of The Sea Queen Escapes really got me wanting to play. I've gotten two play test sessions in, but have yet to run the funnel with a mob of level-0's... who's u...
