Il Male linked this nice little find over on his blog . I know Clark Ashton Smith isn't technically Appendix N, but I think most of us can agree that he should be. Basically, this is a short d20 supplement which has some cool gods and monsters that would work great for your DCC game. Enjoy! http://w...

Yeah, if your lucky roll is something meaningful, then it makes burning luck sting a lot more. But if it's something completely meaningless, it's almost an invitation to burn it all. But again, I see this being managed entirely differently by campaign players versus one-shot players. I would just li...

Free RPG Day: Pod-Caverns Under DCC RPG Rules

(I tried pasting it here, but the formatting was lost, making it nigh unreadable. Sorry to send you away from the forums to read it, but that's just how it's gotta be, I guess!)

Trying to set up a thread for the sharing of spell creations/conversions. It is a bit of work, so we should be sharing our work to lighten each other's loads.

Post your spells here!

Here's the few I've converted from PF:

Any tips for the sprue? My d24 has a pretty good sized one sticking out. I have a set of jeweler's files for cleaning up miniatures, and have been using that to good effect. The set was like $17 though, so unless you already have them or are sure to have a future use for them, it's kind of pricey. ...

One thing I've found is that dropping it rather than throwing it with any sort of horizontal force seems to make the results more equitable. (I stress the word seems because it is a purely anecdotal observation) Also, to gain confidence in it's fairness, you could always test it using this method: h...

Why would you attempt to convert existing (and weirdly non-standard) characters from one game system to another? That doesn't really playtest DCCRPG. Sorry, next time I'll PM you and get permission for what I do in my home game. :shock: On a serious note, it is indeed a compromise, but I think it i...

I added a page on my blog specifically for the DCC stuff I've been working on. It can be found here:

Newest additions are the barbarian class for my Pathfinder game conversion, and a few converted spells.

And demons. Demons are always willing to trade a trivial 18 in a stat for a human soul or two.

Even better!

I think it's a worthy idea, and would work just fine, but there is an issue with doing that in my particular game: The guy with the half-ogre with 20 STR would cry and pout until it made me quit playing RPGs forever. Getting him to agree to change his 20/+5 to a 20/+4 was hard enough, but getting hi...

There is also treasure in the form of magic items that improve ability scores. They've been around since the dawn of RPGs. Don't be afraid to use 'em!

With our current campaign still going strong after 8+ months (a record for us), myself and my group were hesitant to set it aside to try something else, since we've already seen some of our past campaigns lose momentum and never quite get it back. Thus, I set about getting the group to agree to swit...

Not sure if this is the right place for it or not, but gamestation.net currently has a coupon code CUSTOMERCARD11 for 10% off.

Every little bit helps. I've already spent $77 on zocchi dice! But what can I say, they are cool.

Here are 3 SRD spells I converted to DCC.

That is nothing less than amazing. Very nicely done!

Agreed, that thing is awesome!

I would like to see awesome names for spells, like the ones in Dying Earth. (I just read it, but I can't remember them)

Other than the afore-used box.net, does anyone have a hosting site to recommend...? Pros? Cons? I'm not 100% sure what my self-hosting capacity is going to be at the moment, and would like to put up a beta character sheet of my own soon... I'd be happy to host any DCC fan content. Just shoot me a pm.

I haven't tested it out yet myself, but it seems that the Basic Fantasy RPG monsters would be the easiest to use "out of the box", if that is what you are looking for. Here is a sample entry: Blink Dog Armor Class: 15 Hit Dice: 4* No. of Attacks: 1 bite Damage: 1d6 Movement: 40' No. Appear...

I think that was a well-put response, Joseph. As far as ideas for breaking down the perceived dice barrier, have you considered offering a subscription for the modules? Perhaps a set of dice could be offered to subscribers as a freebie or at a discount. Barring that, I like the groupon idea. And my ...

I have no issues whatsoever with more funky dice being added to future game expansions. The d34 looks especially attractive in that it is reasonably priced.

So I think I understand it correctly, in that when an Elf/Wizard gets a natural 1, they roll on the corruption chart, which may are may not direct them to also roll on the spell fumble chart. Is this assessment accurate? Can anyone help me understand the logic behind having two charts, rather than j...

I think that those are the defaults, which can be overridden by a high result on the spell check. The reason for having it is that the player needs some reasonable expectation of what the spell will do prior to casting in order to make the decision whether or not to attempt casting it. At least that...

I only read the first page of this thread, but I just wanted to weigh in and say that I like the % system, and I also wouldn't mind if it was a X in 20 system. However, I am against the idea of rolling high, unless there is one static target number used for everything, such as "15" or &quo...

I'm not a huge fan of perception checks either, but I sometimes use it to determine how many turns it takes to find something. However, I'm not going to be mad if the rules suggest a way to do perception checks, as many people like to use them. That being said, I would probably allow the character t...

He also has a neat little way of shielding his dice rolls with his hand when he wants to keep it a secret.

If nothing else, it's just a lot more comfortable for me, and I don't have to stand as much.

And yes, it can have the effect of lulling players into a false sense of security mwahaha.
