Dungeon Crawl Classics What is cool to you from a player perspective?

Worth mentioning the Campaign Elements series by Daniel J. Bishop. The first one is The Falcate Idol. One purpose of this series is to help GM deal with a sudden need to “quest for it.”

Campaign Element - 1 - The Falcate Idol

The Cult of the Harrower is ancient, and each of the eight eyes of its spider-idol is rumored to be a moonstone gem the size of a pigeon's egg. Moreover, somewhere within the cult's sanctuary, a pool flows from the Egg of Creation. Will your Thief seek to make a legendary score? Will your Wizard pursue the shards of the Egg? Will your Cleric join the cult? Or will your Warrior fight his way through the web-covered passages to rescue them if they fail? Any or all of these scenarios are possible!

The Campaign Elements series is designed to help judges create persistent campaign worlds, as well as deal with patron quests, divine requests, and the sudden need to “Quest For It”. Whether it is because you are short on players one evening, or the wizard needs to locate a new spell, the Campaign Elements series has you covered.

Each of these areas is short enough to be played through by most groups in only a single session. That doesn't mean that the value of the area is limited to a single session – each adventure includes notes on “squeezing it dry”…effectively getting the maximum re-use from your investment.

I have not played DCC. I likely won't because my group primary plays 5E (but have started to dabble in Shadowdark).

However, I did have some of the Whiterock stuff for 3rd Edition. I don't even remember where I got it. I think I bought it used at a convention.

You in for the current crowdfund?

Castle Whiterock

A massive megadungeon boxed set with 30 levels and a year of real-time adventure! DCC or 5E, regular or clamshell edition. Plus gemstone DCC dice!

Not currently. I am looking through some of the options to see what would best suit my group.
My group is currently having a bit of a dilemma in that we still primarily play D&D 5th Edition, but we're ambivalent about whether we want to update to 5.5, switch over to something like Tales of the Valiant (or Enworld's Level Up,) or try a different game completely.

I like the idea of getting Whiterock myself, to update the material. The clamshell concept seems cool.

I was looking at Descent of the Ancient Fane: Descent of the Ancient Fane - Most Hellish Dungeon (DnD/DCC)

I'm not sure how much of it I would use, but it would be nice to have a wider selection of devilish/demonic creatures to use and be able to surprise some of my more experienced players who have seen most of what the D&D MM has offered for a few editions.

• 90+ original monsters and demon lords
  50+ new magical items
  Rules to adapt dozens of encounters to PCs’ fears, desires and backstories

That caught my attention.

Madness of Metronax also looks interesting. For $10, I get both a physical product and a pdf?
