Re: DCC #54: Extra Dwarves

xredjasonx - You might want to wait until getting "Wyvern Mountain" before figuring out exactly how you want to connect "Forges" to it. Some of what you've got planned will fit in perfectly with leading into the adventure. But there's a few other things that you might want to add...

Re: New DCCs Announced

I like DCC modules set in the Criestine Colonies, and near Voltigeur ... then again, I'm biased. :)

Adventure location bias aside, "Isle of the Sea Drake" is a terrific campaign starter for a 4E game.

If you run it for your players, Frank, please let us know how it goes!

If you ever run into Ken Hart at GenCon ... ask him about his experience with large black portals in the Tomb. :twisted:

One question though: I noticed that the world is missing something like a common calendar with names for months and days of the week. Was this done on purpose?

Re: DCC #28 Into the Wilds help

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. Let the PCs notice that there's considerably more activity amongst Lady Aborn's guards. Then, when they investigate, they should find that some have been given something "very important" to protect. (They can find this by bribing or tricking the g...

Re: Urban DCC

If you're using low-level characters, I'd recommend "Legend of the Ripper".

It's set in a city, and has a good mix of mystery and dungeon crawling. And it's a solid adventure.

A Torgo shirt would be pretty sweet. I never got a chance to pick up one of the originals. :(

And a shirt with any of the Erol Otus or Jeff Dee covers would be great as well. Maybe "Vault of the Dragon Kings"?
