Still going to be released in November?

Players are free to do what they want, as long as they are ready to face any consequence the DM might feel appropriate. +1. Exactly. Reminds me when I played CoC. I would consider other actions in defeating the cultist or, worse, the aberrations since I knew too well the consequences on my PC's San...

But how about you ? Would there be anything that could be added or changed to what we know about the game so far that would convince you that it is equally suited to long term play ? Yes, I'd use DCC RPG for long-term play. Nothing in the rule that I can see needs to have changes; I would, however,...

Thanks for sharing!

For the non-inked dice, which crayon is best used to darken the numbers. Black?

Great to hear the playtest reports and I'm glad you guys are talking about conversions! One of my "secret agenda items" for DCC RPG is to not only produce a great game, but also produce a great series of modules which can in turn be used with other games on the market. Oh? Like, hmmm, mod...

Cricky, 7:30 am and I'm download 589 already. Wait until the USA wakes up! It looks very streamlined and an easy system to master. I like the artwork, but it looks too much to me. Must be approaching 40% of the book! What is it, a set of rules or an coffee table art book? Did any old school publica...

A hearty THANK YOU to everyone who supports their local game stores! You wouldn't believe how many dice I own simply because I always buy something when I'm in a game store. Lately it's been Carcassonne expansions...I've got more than I can play at the moment. :) The Free RPG Day product will indee...

Fingers crossed indeed!

If I might ask ... I AM going to Games Day after doing a charity walk/run, but if all the copies are gone, will the starter adventure later be available online in PDF format, say through RPGNow? I ask because I intend to run a playtest game with local teens. (I'm the Teen Librarian at our library.)...

Got mine. #34.

In a few weeks, when the beta rules release, EVERYONE will get a chance to play! So hopefully that will address some of the requests in places we can't reach easily. In the meantime, I'll be running another game at the SoCal Minicon in Anaheim on July 30-31. If you're in the neighborhood, come on b...

W00t!

So...any reports from those who played in the game?

W00t! Mid-summer release?

My point is simply that it's not D&D. That's all. Is it D&D-like? Sure. But it has to be different enough from D&D or any other game out there to warrant publishing it in the first place, right? Reinventing is just that. Pretty much how I'm viewing the DCC. Currently, Dungeons and Drago...

I'm pretty sure this has been brought up before, but what -- exactly -- are the differences between the two? Examples would great.

There was an interesting discussion started over at EN World about the *cough* imbalance of power between the pre-4th Edition DnD fighter and the magic-user/wizard: How is the Wizard vs Warrior Balance Problem Handled in Fantasy Literature? A lot of people agree that D&D has historically heavil...

Joseph Goodman has mentioned that the DCC RPG PCs may only go as high as 10th level. How does that change the underlying math versus the math underlying the SRD for 3.x and Pathfinder, which go up to 20th level? Do the modifiers for actions like Total Defense, for example, change? What about armour ...

I think there should be NO setting information in the main rulebook. Totally agree with Geoffrey. Don't create a canon setting by sticking it in the rulebook. I think that would totally go against the breadth covered by Appendix N. I think setting should be left to DMs, as well as implied through t...

From Paizo's facebook page : Hmmm. Just got off the phone with Necromancer Games's Clark Peterson, who is looking to get back into the RPG biz publishing Pathfinder-compatible PDFs! He's still in the planning stages, so help him out with your suggestions of what he should do by posting a comment bel...

Geoffrey wrote:How has everyone else's attitudes towards the game changed since Jan. 3rd?

No. Buying it. 'course, I participated in one of the playtest before this forum even went up.

Why not? Something like: Natural 1: Spell takes effect on random creature or area. 1-11: Lost. Failure. 12-13: Spell Does minimum possible damage. 14-17: Spell has standard effect. 18-19: Increase damage dice by one step. 20-23: Increase aoe or targets affected by 50% 24-27: Increase range by 50%. ...

I was just thinking about the magic missile table. It's a bit oppressive. If every spell looks like that, it's gonna take up a lot of space and seem overwhelming. I'd prefer one table for all spells, kinda like the wild magic table from 2e. Put the table on the gm screen and call it a day. That'd b...
