For the last few years I've been focusing on/running DCC RPG games exclusively. I welcomed 5e when it launched, and ran it for years, but really got tired of it somewhere around 2018. At one point I was running a weekly local open table game, a weekly game just for family, and a third game...

As did I, and same.

I'm interested. My favorite character type to play - for decades now, on the few occcasions I'm not the GM - is based off characters like John Contantine and Harry D'Amour. That is, skillful, witty, OK in a hand to hand fight, and with a little bit of magic knowledge. In 2e I hashed together a...

I absolutely love the d12 calendar . . . but the guy in the desk nxt to me at work already has one :(.

The first TTRPG I ever played was Earthdawn (first edition) and it ruled; the GM let me play twins. But my favorite memory of the game didn't involve me at all, exactly; it was when we all realized that the guy playing the troll had forgotten to buy pants for the character and so he was walking...

This approach was encouraged for publications on Dungeon Masters Guild some years back; that is, writing material to fit art/maps you found instead of trying to find art/maps that match your adventure idea. Seems funky that it would occur in an official publicaiton (even AL) but it certainly...

The second TTRPG I ever played was AD&D 2nd Edition; the first was Earthdawn 1st Edition. Prior to that I had read through the original Middle Earth Roleplaying game box set, which my mom had bought me for Christmas a year or two prior, but my 12 yar old brain couldn't really make heads or...

Greetings! Our first traditionally printed product, From Gongfarming to Grave Digging: a Manual of Skills for DCC RPG is available now! EASY SKILLS FOR DCC RPG! Sure, you’re no hero - but have you ever wished you were good at something besides fighting? Or that you could get better at it...

The Illithiad from 1998 had a bunch of fancy tech for mind flayers, including biosuits, exoskeletons, glare goggles, and more. Some of this stuff was included in the 3.5 book Lords of Madness.

I run a weekly Dungeon Crawl Classics game in a local shop, and each session is roughly 2 hours (the store closes early-ish and while the owners don't care if we go over a bit I try not to abuse the privelege). I also run a DCC game online for my 11yo and his friends. Earlier this year I had a...

I have never used miniatures in my games; if I want to play a fantasy boardgame I still have my old 1990s HeroQuest game. As I believe I mentioned in the other thread, I find players are far more imaginative in TotM combat than when they have a gameboard to use. IMO combat is tedious enough...

Good stuff! The Building A City web enhancement for the 3.5 DMG is also super useful, IMO. I've even used it for other systems/games.

Do limited series count? Here I am thinking of V, and its sequel V: The Final Battle. Shocking in its time and influental, I feel it/they should be on the list.
