Bumping so I remember to buy some of these tonight!

Ok - I've now got every single DCC adventure in pdf (me :heart: Xmas money!) so I have a specific question - are there any adventures that revolve around the PCs traveling? My group is going on a 4 week overland journey to the Grand Bazaar delivering a McGuffin there. I want to spice up the journey with some DCCs so I'm hoping you guys who have read tons of them can help me out! I just need something that gives the PCs an incentive to investigate a given locale or track down a certain item/person etc. Thanks in advance!

I didn't quite get them all but I did get about 30 or so of them (including Castle Whiterock and the Gazetteer of the Known Realms), plus all the PDF's in the XCrawl range. They'll keep me busy for a very long time.

My monthly check came in today, so what I don't have in print, I now have in PDF, or both.

I got the Gazetteer and "The Adventure Begins" in PDF, even though I already had them in print. For an extra $7, I figured the extra utility was still more than worth it.

The Gazetteer sure did use up my downloads though. That sucker came in at almost 400 meg! Castle Whiterock was over 100 meg as well. I still haven't downloaded about 30 of the DCC's I bought yet.

Reviews of the Dungeon Crawl Classics

For anyone who read this thread and bought some of Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classics in their $2 sale, I found a place to check out what was worth it. demiurge1138 is reviewing all of the DCCs at RPG.net. He hasn't finished them all yet, but he has done all the individual ones in compilations "The Adventure Begins" and "The Adventure Continues," which I bought based on the recommendations here.

They're not in order, so possibly the best way to check out the one you're considering is to alter this Google search.

I found the thread by googling "Tower of the Black Pearl survive" when I read the adventure and couldn't imagine living through the 25 tiny vipers. After reading demiurge's review, I switched to "Lair of the White Salamander" and had one of the best sessions I've ever run. Definitely a good resource for warning you when modules just don't make sense ahead of time.

Man, I read that thread ad disagree with ... nearly everything written.

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to fight them. That's the point. Finding creative solutions to something that would otherwise kill you.
