Gen Con DCC Trivia Contest

Post by goodmangames »

Hello everyone,

Think you know a lot about the DCC series? Test your knowledge with our DCC trivia contest! The trivia questions are on the file link below. Print it out, write in your name and answers, and bring it by our booth at Gen Con (#2615). The deadline is Saturday at the close of the exhibit hall. Come back Sunday at 1:00 to find out if you advance to the finals. At 1:00 we’ll hold the finals at the booth, where the highest scorers will compete to answer even more trivia until someone walks away with the grand prize! Which is – we don’t know what, yet, but it will be cool.

Here's the file:

1. Which DCC first named the Xulmec city-states?

2. The artist “DSL” got his start on TSR modules and now illustrates Dungeon Crawl Classics adventures. What is his real name?

7. What is the name of the Witch Queen?

Oh, well, since I can't make it to GEN CON - let's try here and now.

1. That must have been DCC#4 "Bloody Jack's Gold".

2. Diesel LaForce.

3. Septych, "Seven as one".

4. Mari Kell.

5. Not a clue.

6. Basic D&D Rulebook by Tom Moldvay?? Never heard of that... I only have the red box edition books and they were edited by Frank Mentzer.

7. Kyleth, or more aptly: Lady Kyleth.

8. I venture a guess: in a secret room.

9. That should be Jack Dascombe a.k.a. Bloody Jack.

10. Hm, did you mean "Shadowstone weapons"? Every weapon forged out of this metal is always a masterwork weapon.

11. Chalychia.

12. That would be the Black Crown, is it?

13. The Gannu Family.

14. Mount Rolnith.

15. It's twenty, all in all.

16. In KOTD #117.

17. I think there were 3 printings.

18. He he he, its DCC #18: "Citadel of the Demon Prince".

19. It is DCC #0 "Legends Are Made, Not Born". The Villain's name is Suto Lore. (It's Erol Otus spelled backwards)

20. The Sentinel of Cortaigne.

21. Mort Kemnon.

22. Sphinxes, right after the Dragons.

23. Five.

24. I can only guess: white?

25. Doug Kovacs.

Heretic!!!!!! :P :)

It predates the "red" boxed set by a few printings - it features fantastic cover art by Erol Otus, and was indeed written by the late Tom Moldvay. I think it's probably the best version of the D&D Basic rules out there.

If you're trying to introduce someone to RPGs, or want to give an easy, fun RPG to an interested kid, you can't go wrong with picking a copy of the Basic D&D Rulebook by Tom Moldvay off of eBay.

Oddly enough, I actually got a copy of this boxed set for my birthday a few months ago. A friend (really a friend of my wife until a couple years ago) knew I was "into D&D" and, not knowing anything about D&D or RPGs, found the boxed set at a sale and gave it to me on a lark! :D

I started with the version edited by J. Eric Holmes....

Any notable differences between this and the Moldvay version that you know of? I had always assumed they were essentially the same version with new art...

Lol. Those covers reminded me of Clash of the Titans... ..oh come on, you've seen Clash of the Titans. sigh. When Perseous brings in Calobous's hand and drops it on the floor as the answer to the riddle!
