Speaking as a player who owns the DCC rulebook (and a dozen or so adventures) I would rather see them publish a new edition and increase interest in the game than worry about "invalidating" my stuff. Right now DCC feels like a game very much in decline. My local DCC Meetup.com group used to be...

Also, not having a new edition makes no sense financially. A second edition of DCC would give that system some desperately needed buzz. It's so old that it's based on third edition! I can't believe there aren't any tweaks they want to make.

I generally won't allow warforged into the games I run (unless I'm actually running Eberron, obviously). I just really dislike having androids (or the like) in my classic fantasy. No firearms, either. That can all work for a particular kind of setting, but not for a Forgotten Realms style...

Did you miss the part where the cleric would be dead because of that? The statblock for the shadow did say that specifically. Just wondering. EDIT: Sorry, I thought you literally meant negative six, not six less.

Kelsey Dionne is reading this on her yacht and nodding.

Silvery Barbs! Siiiiilvery Barbs! It's cringing time...for the DM

Of course 20 vs. 21 wouldn't make it "perfectly fine" for me. But I admit that the 21 does annoy me, meaningless though it might be. Maybe because it's meaningless -- they can't have made this NPC superhuman for gameplay purposes, because it barely affects gameplay. So then why is this dude...

WOW. The difference between these two statblocks is really striking. Never mind how much better the physical stats are for the Warrior Commander, Minsc 2014 has mental stats of 8, 6, and 10; Warrior Commander 2024 has 14, 16, and 14. I realize the latter's CR is three more, but come on. He's...

Whether you agree with Keith or not, I think he makes some objectively good points. Maybe I'd even say undeniable points. Now that he's pointed it out, I too am bothered that the Warrior Commander has Str 21, Dex 20, and Con 18. That's a statline suitable for Conan the Barbarian, not a nameless...

I've only played one. One character, that is. I'm not sure that should count.

This sounds like Eighties slang from an alternate universe. "That party was, like, totally fungal, dude!"

In the words of Billy Preston, nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

I really wish I'd been the one to come up with the name "Tombpunk". Wow, that name is just incredible. I haven't read the rulebook yet (although I will) but I think I know exactly what it's like from that one word alone.

I like this. Final encounter has a great roleplaying hook and all three encounters fit together thematically. It would make a fine one-shot.

I did not know until now that Ten Foot Pole had given Lost Mine a good review. Given Bryce's view of modern D&D, that is high praise indeed.
