Re: new spell, "Madness"

I changed that effect level's name (back) to "PANDEMONIUM!!!" lol. And that got me going... I'm unsure about the 36-37 effect of the spell: "lunacy". It sounds almost like a misfire to me. Wouldn't you want to propose it as such? Actually, no. It's loosely patterned after the top...

LOL!

How about a pure nethack pocket dimension? Like a "flatland" variant, but everyone's a character - LITERALLY.

Re: Limits to Spell Burn?

Alternate Spellburn Tables. 1) What actually started me on this topic wasn't "balance" per se, but the fact that so much of the fiction that emerges from the Spellburn tables seems to be oriented around Personality (eg tatoos, etc); furthermore, tying most spellburn actions to, say, "...

pocket dimensions

I posted a bunch of alternate pocket dimensions in my intro post (the wrong place probably). Here they are in a more appropriate forum: The Rim: you are hurtling at an indescribable speed around the edge of a howling, impenetrable darkness, the skin on your face pulling with the force - and you're d...

Re: Limits to Spell Burn?

I've followed this and a couple of other threads about spellburn "balance" issues with some interest. I can't really comment because I've still not been able to get a game of DCC going, which means, honestly, I don't know diddly. However, since I'm hooked on the game, and a chronic homebre...

new spell, "Madness"

Hi folks. I made my first spell, loosely based on AD&D's "Confusion" spell.

See it here.

Comments & criticism welcome.

Re: Mercurial Magic - Who uses it?

I dont imagine a great wizard like Gandalf casting spells and thousands of mice coming from his robes But I can pretty easily imagine a somewhat-great wizard like Radigast the Brown casting spells and thousands of mice coming from under his robes. In fact, isn't that in one of the LOTR movies now? ...

Re: Dice: generating "Zocchi results" using "normal" polyhed

Because more tables are always better :D ; not a perfect solution, there are still re-rolls, but it works. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10388550/Zocchi%20Dice%20Table.xls I noticed nobody has commented on this one. Is it legit? It is, but I'm not sure how much time some of those would save over re-rolli...

Re: Introductions Thread - Join the Band!

Howdy. My name is Chuck, aka "cy"; I'm an OG who stepped into a time capsule around 1985 and emerged here only to find a bunch of cool games that are now absorbing way too much of my attention to be considered "healthy". The best possible intro I can lay on y'all is my list of (m...

Re: Austin area DCC RPG???

I'm an OG just South of Austin and flipping out on DCC. It's like Gonzo Ars Magica. I'm into playing it. I'm also into running it out of the old "Wilderlands" setting. I'm too new to these boards to PM anyone, but if you live between, say, Round Rock and San Antone, I'll work with ya. Yeah...
