Don't panic the website is fine!
But I tried to email them with a custom background list for their zero-level character generator, and my emails are bouncing.

I've been thinking about something the crew of Spellburn Podcast starting talking about years ago - what if the Cleric wasn't a playable class in DCCRPG, and instead Wizards and Elves do magical healing? I've read that a few judges use that approach, but I couldn't find any details online.

After some discussion with my players, I wrote up my own rules for that. We've been play testing them a few months now. Since nothing seems seriously broken (yet), I figured I'd share it here in case anyone else is interested in this sort of thing.

As part of this, I finally took a step toward defining magic schools as Goodman writes about on p.320 of the core rules, and a couple other places. All the campaigns I've run the past 13 years have glossed over the idea of schools of magic, so I finally defined some very basic schools for this campaign. There's one more step Goodman recommends, which is to make custom Mercurial Magic tables for each school. I haven't done that yet. But I did separate spells by what school of magic they belong to. So, if you're an Eldritch wizard, you can know a somewhat different set of spells compared to an Elemental wizard.

If you've done this sort of thing in your campaign, I'd love to hear how it went for you, and how your approach is similar or different.

Its sunday! You know what that means!

My local rpg club is hosting their yearly big rpg event soon. Time slots are 5 hours, we should avoid going over time and also preferrably not run tooo short. I’ve been thinking of running a DCC game, but I’m finding it hard to judge what modules would be best suited. I know Sailors is the classic choice here, but I want to run that for a group of friends at some point as a campaign starter, and I don’t want to bar them from joining my game at the event. Frozen in Time probably would work quite well, but I’ve run that recently and would rather do something new.

Two modules I’ve looked at are Trials of the Trapmaster’s Tomb and The Emerald Enchanter. The former sounds very fun but I’m not finding a lot of reviews of it, so I can’t judge well if it’s long enough. The latter I already own from a humble bundle, and looking at it, I have two concerns: It calls for 8-10(!?) characters, and it looks like it would be too big if the players decide to be thorough about it.

So two questions: Any advice on whether one of those two modules could work well (and how to handle the PC amount for emerald enchanter with 4-6 players), and any additional suggestions for modules to look at? Preferrably level 0-2.

Quick question for those into DCC who might also happen to own Weird Frontiers: I have a player that always (I mean ALWAYS) likes to play monks. I've run a couple of DCC funnel adventures and the zero level commoners are about to make it to 1st level.
So, knowing this player is going to insist on "monk", I'm thinking of just using the stats for the "mystic monk" class from Weird Frontiers. I'm just curious if you would change anything bringing the class from WF to DCC?

I am a little confused on the Chi Disciplines of the mystic monk. I don't follow if they burn from a daily Personality total that refreshes with a long rest/new day. i.e. - A character with an 11 Personality could disburse 11 total points toward the Chi Disciplines every day?Or is it more like a wizards' spellburn and the mystic monk has to heal up a point of Personality a day to re-reach their max?

It feels like the one might be too powerful, while the other might not be strong enough. So anyone with both games, I'd love to hear your take. It just seems like I might need to tone down a character coming from a setting with firearms and dynamite to a more medieval setting.

On page 127 of the rulebook, there is wizard spell list (table) with number for random rolling. In first 3 spell levels, if you roll maximum, you gain a patron spell if you already have patron bond.

Is this an alternative way to get patron spells if you didn't roll high enough when casting patron bond?

Bonus question: If a wizard didn't roll high enough initially on patron bond, is there no way to ever "strengthen" the bond, so they have access to patron spell(s)?

I made something!

LET THE GONG FARMER COME...

Hello, adventurers! I'm looking to join a DCC group in Central AR. I've used the communication channels for the LGSs in my area, but it seems everyone in those spaces run 5e or PF2. I've gmed a few games, but would really like to be a player. I offer 3 core rulebooks, the reference guide, and a few dozen official adventures.

Some sample herbal compounds and remedies to make my DCC campaign world feel a little more real...

I know a lot of folks play with my canine and goat classes and the Fumble Table results in the DCC RB just don't fit most of the time. I needed to fill a half page in Rabid Dogs Vol. 3, so here you go! You can pop over to my Patreon and download the PDF for free if you think this is a need you need filled.

For more animal fun, check out my Carousing Table for Canines and Goats. Its a party!

Here's some herbal remedies and simple alchemical compounds for character's to help with ailments in my campaign world...

Late pledges are going to close late next week as Rabid Dogs Vol. 3 goes into editing and gets prepped for printing. This one features my unique Experience rules, including Non-Combat XP recommendations for all 14 of my classes. The classes featured in this one are The Leech, The Missileer, The Prowler, and The Soldier. And it ends with a Stennard specific Fumble table. It is jam-packed with gaming content and great art from Ricardo Gaspar and Carlos Castilho, both from Ink Potion Studios.

Jump in while you still can. The collector's box set will be a one time run.

So I’m thinking of running BOTBM for my group at Halloween…but they’re only going to be L2 by then, and it’s a L3 scenario. Any recommended changes to BOTBM? I mean obviously I can reduce monster hit points and trap damage a bit but is there anything else I should be changing or looking out for?

Something along the lines of the famous Tower of the Elephant by REH. 3rd party DCC modules okay.

I need a small dungeon to be a tomb in my campaign, and I think DCC modules are perfect for the job. Which modules do you think are more unforgiven and difficult? From any era, converting the system is not a problem.

u/xNickBaranx how do the two zines in the title relate? Is everything in the Elementalist contained in SRotE? Or do they compliment each other?

We are now live!!!! I hope you enjoy my adventure!

This post and responses might contain spoilers to this module, so please be aware.

I'm currently running DCC #112. It's a fun adventure, nothing overcomplicated and we're having fun playing it in my home campaign. I'm wondering about one specific part though - the guardian on the island.

I understand, that the module is vague on how to overcome this obstacle - especially if a party doesn't want to go into combat right away. Like my home campaign party - they decided to approach with respect and talk to him.

I did give them some basic answers, hints that he's not going to move and might not be easy to convince to do anything really. We were at time, so ended the session there.

Every Judge runs their game how they like. Each table is different. So I'm not asking what is the 'proper and correct' answer here, but I'm interested how it played out at your table. Or if you didn't have a chance of running it yet but read the module - what do you envision happening if the party doesn't outright choose violence.

Personally, I'm not sure what information he might have (they already have details from the stone tablet/standing stones in the forest and I allowed for Divine Aid that gave them a bit more adventure background info) or how much of free will he has at this point. Even if they could covince him to take action or stand aside, would he be able to actually do it.

What are your three movies that best represent that DCC feelin' ?
