The news reports had my mom a little concerned and one night she asked a bunch of questions about it after a big special was on TV. I convinced her to try it out firsthand and she rolled up a thief with 1 hp. I tried to get her to re-roll it but she wouldn't listen. The game then started with her th...

Yeah this is probably my favourite sheet for DCC that I have seen yet. Great job and please do the variants!

I really think you need to give us a lot more info/teasers on this. Right now I see little reason for people to support the kickstarter as there is so little information on the product and you are an unknown commodity as a writer. If you can get people excited or interested they will help promote it...

I don't even care about balance. If I have to add the halfling luck modifier to all those rolls it starts to get cumbersome and annoying.

Yeah I think you are crazy . That's probably just there in case the halfling spends more than one point, thus changing the modifier.

If you are right that really changes things .

I find rolling 2d4 etc. annoying so I just add another dice size usually. Thus a sword +1 becomes 1d10 instead of 1d8 or whatever. The players seem to enjoy the larger dice and feels like more of an upgrade than a simple +1. I then to try to jazz it up with other details and minor powers to make it ...

My rule: 1. On the first round of combat roll d20, individual initiative + bonuses/penalties. 2. On all following rounds you roll straight d6 for each side . You must declare you are casting a spell before initiative begins. I also don't play with "free whacks", dividing movement and other...

I like this version Gnomeboy. This is alot closer to how I think gnomes SHOULD have been made in those other RPGs.

Am I the only one that thinks Rangers being forced into the archer or two-weapon fighter categories just plain sucks, and always has? It has never felt attached to the class concept in general to me, especially since their affinity with two-weapon fighting didn't even exist prior to 2nd edition. I ...

Only 2 hours left. Not too late to jump in and try to get this to the 4k mark...

Regardless of the Birth Auger, it is entirely conceivable that Al the warrior rolls 8, 4, 9 (not bad!) whereas Bob the warrior rolls 3, 6, 2 (ouch!). The problem is it might be Bob who has the -1 hp per level birth augur... Some players may like the challenge but I know many would be irritated his ...

Make the book that appeals to you. You seem to have a certain style and need to remain true to it in my opinion, even if I don't prefer that style. If I were to make a creature catalog my stat blocks would be even shorter than the ones in the DCC book, a far cry from what you made. The reality is yo...

Really wanted to see what someone could do with the Psionicist. Not a huge fan of the class but it's never been done well in my opinion. Would love to see someone take a stab at it anyway.

Want the d22 but getting a nicer d7 would be just as good.

And I thought the DCC monster stat blocks were too big :shock: :shock: :shock: . I am really interested in your mutation rules and such so I will be supporting this product but I could never use these monsters in my games if that is how they are presented. I like to run fast paced games and that is ...

This is the route I would go as well. I am not a fan of multi-classing at all.

Thanks Sean. Love the idea of an updated Deck of Many Things.

I am still trying to decide what funding level to jump in at. Some questions: 1. Does the base book come with magic items or only the $50 pledge? 2. Can we get an example of a magic item? Will they be basic items like in D&D, more complex like artifacts or something closer to what we have seen i...

I always like the idea that humans just advance quicker. It's easier to do this in D&D with either XP bonuses or lower XP requirements per level. It's a bit more difficult in this game but you could still do it if you wanted. A simple +1 XP per session for humans (I prefer giving humans a bonus ...

Ok I just checked it out and it's definitely worth buying in my opinion. For $2.00 you can't go wrong. First off, I love lists that go 1-200, the more entries the better in my opinion. I hope this isn't giving away anything but to test it out I rolled a 6 (meaning I add +100 to my percentile roll) a...

Going to go buy this now. Love RPG supplements like this (easy to insert in to a campaign, great quality but not overdone with expensive art and production values driving up the price). The reality is I rarely use the stuff I buy but it is nice inspiration for me and sometimes I find a gem that I wi...

I'm guessing you could achieve the same result by subtracting the character's level from the fumble roll. This is a nice idea and would mean high level characters recover from fumbles more often. I also always forget to apply luck modifiers to my crits and fumbles so this would help hammer it in to...

Consider that as characters level they get more actions per round. Since fumbles occur 5% of the time per roll, this actually means high level characters fumble more often per 10 seconds (round) than a low level character does. This never sits right with me but that's a whole other story. One thing ...

If I understand the discussion correctly, I think that the key is that limiting spells known helps to simulate the whole experience/advancement part of a campaign. Suppose the most novice apprentice knew every spell in the book. When he adventures, hasn't he lost some of the fun because he can't ge...

I should add that I don't always do this but when possible I try to pre-generate a bunch of encounters before hand. Before doing so I will often create thematic tables for the game that I then roll on, with the possibility for unexpected results, dynamic encounters and DM specials built in. A goblin...
