I fall into both the 40-45 and the 45-50 groups, so I'm not sure how to vote.

Not ever, as far as I know, and it's a damn shame. The world built around TunFaire is so much more interesting to me than that from the Black Company, from the way sorcery works to the really unusual species to the endless warning the Cantard.

My copy of the special Jennell Jaquays cover of By Mitra's Hand, Meet Thy Doom! arrived in the mail Friday, but that's misleading since I ordered it back in early February. But I backed the 10th Anniversary edition of Cats of Catthulhu on Kickstarter a few hours before its campaign ended, so...

I'm pretty sure I haven't played anything except Dungeon Crawl Classics in two years or so. It's not just the system, it's the approach of the game and the fantastic team that produces it.

I would love to see this comparison. I'm very much in the "I want shorter adventures I can string together, not a whole campaign" camp. But in practice I neither bought nor used the smaller adventures or anthologies when they were released, and I don't know anyone who did aside from collectors...

As a longtime gamer (30-ish years) running DCC exclusively for about three years now, I have to say that your statement matches my experience. Many people love starting play with a character that's fully developed and established, but lots of us - and it isn't just old timers IME - like starting...

Weird fantasy/sword & sorcery is my baby, and they mesh really well together.

I run Dungeon Crawl Classics, which has a slew of Halloween and Christmas/Winter holiday themed adventures. My favorite, in fact, is called "The Doom That Came To Christmas Town," which incorporates characters and locations from all the old animated Christmas specials (Rudolph, Frosty, the...

In one campaign I ran, the three players decided their characters were brothers, all from the same wasteland tribe. They were sons of the chief, and the eldest brother, who was also was a Barbarian by class, was the heir. The middle brother, who was a Rogue, was the village healer/medicine man...

I'm not sure having all the stuff on completely different pages would actually make the index less useful, tbh.

The set is mind blowing. I can't even begin to describe how incredible it is. Preorder it form you FLGSs if you can - you won't be disappointed.

My friend plays almost all his games over Discord. He firmly insists, however, that when possible in-person is the only way to go. Personally, I've only ever played one game session online. In person or bust.

I was going to say, a solution to too few spells at low levels is to make it so that spells aren't the ONLY thing a magician can do well. In DCC Wizards can use swords (after all, fantasy fiction is full of wizards with swords, and if your wizard has lower physical abilities and/or attack...

I've discovered I'm more a fan of La Sexorcisto specifically; White Zombie's earlier stuff is hard to listen to (if noteworthy for its influence), AstroCreep felt like it had the edges sands off, and Rob's solo stuff mostly doubled down on what I didn't like about AstroCreep. Once he picked up...

"Welcome to Planet Motherfucker/Psychoholic Slag," off White Zombie's La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume 1. "Underneath the Stars," off the Cure's 4:13 Dream "Batman," off Naked City (originally credited just to John Zorn, before the group on the album also became known as Naked City).
