Building a City based adventure
Hi fellow Judges. May I ask for some advice? I've been running DCC RPG at my club and I've so far gone from the modules, stripping them down to a single 3 hour session each. The players currently have some level 1 characters and I wanted for our next session to attempt to sand box things in a city, ...

Re: London England Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG - places open
I've applied the jump leads to my nipples (metaphorically speaking) and I'm back on for running a game of DCC RPG in London. No date set yet, but it'll a couple of one off sessions held at Hackney Area Tabletop Enthusiasts (HATE: http://hate-club.org/). The club meets on Wednesday evenings at Bethna...

Re: Roman Pantheon detailed: Jupiter, Apollo
These are great. One suggestion, would it be interesting to put some of the capriciousness of the gods that you see in poetry and tragedies (specifically Ovid and Euripides, rather than, say, Virgil)? Could there be a spell in there which calls on the aid of Jupiter you could come down in the form o...

Re: Four fixes for DCC
Excellent posts. The idea of adventuring being an arms race is all over Appendix N - especially in the Elric saga. I can think of lots of times he thinks he's got the right spell, the right demonic and elemental alliances, and then he has to face the panic of something he didn't account for coming o...

Re: Four fixes for DCC
Very quick point on spell burn - you can recover the abilities scores in time, but there are physical consequences. I rolled and my dude pulled his hair out with his fists and now my character has a no scalp. He has to wear a turban to cover it up. You may be able to recover the stats, but what abou...

Re: Mercurial Magic - Who uses it?
People have to use Mercurial Magic! I rolled up a magic user recently and Mercurial Magic totally makes the character. The best combination so far is another character in the party who kills millions of people in another dimention every time he cast Hold Portal! talk about moral dilema.

Re: Law vrs Chaos
This one of those subjects we could talk about till the cows come home. I forget where I heard it (might have been the Save or Die podcast) but I think the most elegant solution to how to set things up for players when DMing is just to say that there are two rival pantheons - one chaotic, the other ...

Re: Shul God of the Moon
For these and many other reasons, I chose to send Shul through Gender re-alignment therapy when I was organizing the blizzard of Deities available in DCC#35 for my gaming environment. Great post. Not a god, but talk of gender bending and soothsayers immediately reminded me of the mythical Greek pro...

Re: Shul God of the Moon
Thanks - just did a quick Wikipedia hunt for Shul and other male moon gods.

Re: Show off your Appendix N
Rather than just firing questions at people, I thought I'd put something back with a pic of my (very modest) Appendix N collection. Last year I started going through Appendix N systematically, and I'm really enjoying it. The Tolkien, Poe, Beowulf and Lovecraft are books I had prior to this. I hope t...

Underground Skill question
Could I ask for help with one of the rules? On the Dwarf class information, the text says the dwarf gets a bonus to detect traps etc when underground: 'Underground Skills' (page 52). What is this bonus? is it a +1 or +2 to skill checks? I couldn't find where this might be set out. Sorry if this is s...

Re: clarification on Mighty Deeds of Arms
My group came across the very question in our latest game - what if the action dice + deed dice scores a hit but the deed dice is a low roll. Why wouldn't you always call a mighty deed of arms? Here's my 2 cents (2p!). I'm happy with there not being a drawback to calling a mighty deed of arms - I in...

Re: Five Years Later...
I have just started DMing the DCC RPG game I'm in and was confronted by this very problem. My solution was to roll 3d6 to represent the value of silver the group as a whole might have picked up along the way (i.e. looted). Looking back, I think I might do it differently. Of course the DCC way would ...
