    ElfQuest TTRPG Returns For New Printing

    I'll be backing this. I'm not sure I'll ever play it, but it will be fun to read! My wife, who doesn't play RPGs but is a huge fan of ElfQuest, would probably enjoy reading it, too. From your lips to Michael Moorcock's ears!

    Sell Me on Dungeon Crawl Classics For Long term Play, and NO Funnels

    While there are no adventure paths as such, there are some larger adventures intended to be run over the course of many sessions. The DCC conversion of The Dark Tower is intended to, over the course of several months, take PCs from 3rd/4th level to at least 6th and probably beyond. And this can...

    Caverns of Thracia Returns! Now live!

    A DCC/5e conversion of Griffin Mountain … it’s not going to happen, but it’d be something to see!

    DCC Level 0 Character Funnel is a Bad Concept

    One thing I love about Fate of The Norns - Ragnarok is that players want their characters to die well in combat, ideally after achieving some glorious deeds.

    Caverns of Thracia Returns! Now live!

    I missed out on the Dark Tower crowdfunding (picked it up in retail), so I'm going deep on this one. For one thing, as a Canadian this is a great opportunity to pick up some other DCC books and save on shipping. When I backed The Music of the Spheres is Chaos, I was even able to add-on some 3PP...

    DCC Level 0 Character Funnel is a Bad Concept

    Except neither are true. The product list is not based on level 0 funnels. Of the 53-ish official modules from the main line (excluding Lankhmar, MCC, etc), only 5 are level 0 funnels. For comparison, 12 are level 1 modules. They've published more level 5 modules for the main line than level 0...

    DCC Level 0 Character Funnel is a Bad Concept

    Those lvl-0 character cards I mentioned earlier, I have the players put their cards in a line from themselves towards the centre of the table. The card closest to the centre is the one in the middle of the action ... most of the time. There are occasional exceptions where combat is too chaotic...

    DCC Level 0 Character Funnel is a Bad Concept

    Or use the convenient tools at Purple Sorcerer; hitting this link gives you a PDF with four pregens in a fraction of a second. There are also a lot of customization options available. What I like to do is download enough of these four-to-a-page level 0 characters to give each expected player...

    The AI Red Scare is only harming artists and needs to stop.

    Not yet they haven't. The judge dismissed most of the claims brought by Silverman and other authors, but not all. The claim for violation of California’s unfair competition law was permitted to advance, and the claim for direct copyright infringement remains in the lawsuit as well. Curiously...

    How happy are you with your regular ruleset?

    I have a few regular rulesets: RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha: RuneQuest 2e was my favourite system back in the day, and I still have a great deal of fondness for it. So I was very excited when I heard Chaosium was going back to 2e and building from there to create the newest edition of...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I recently snagged the DCC conversion of The Dark Tower, having missed the Kickstarter, and I'm very happy with it. It includes the original dungeon as published in 1979, which makes this the third copy I own, lol! But it's a great module, and it's worth owning a third copy to get the included...

    Caverns of Thracia Returns! Now live!

    I’m in! Their edition of Dark Tower is really impressive!

    General DCC RPG thread

    The Caverns of Thracia crowdfunder has an official start date in July! I was already keen on this, more so after picking up a copy of their edition of Dark Tower. It looks like this time they're going for a full, lvl 1 to 10 campaign with the Caverns as the centrepiece.

    General DCC RPG thread

    I'm between campaigns at the moment. While I'm running RuneQuest for a friend, I'm preparing to run the DCC conversion of Dark Tower; I missed the kickstarter but I was able to snag the set of books from an FLGS.

    GMs - what is your vetting process for finding new players?

    I don't have anything terribly formal, as it's something that's going to vary depending on the specific system being used, the group and its dynamic, my feeling for the potential player, etc. But, broadly speaking: I'll ask about the player's background, what games (if any) they have played...

    Should a TTRPG have a singular Core Rulebook or more?

    Voted "Something else" because I don't have a one-size-fits-all answer. Some games work well in a single volume -- or even a single page -- while others work best with three volumes. It's whatever serves the game best. I will say though that I have a soft-spot in my heart for boxed sets, but...

    DCC Level 0 Character Funnel is a Bad Concept

    I really wish I could remember who had this idea originally so I could credit them, but I cannot. In any event, I've done this a number of times when running a DCC funnel and it worked really well: First, I start with the Purple Sorcerer 0-Level Party Generator, printing the resulting PDFs on...

    What RPG do you most regret parting with?

    Easily Dungeons and Dragons, mostly AD&1e, but I also had the Basic and Expert boxed sets and some B/X modules. For AD&D1e I had all the hardcovers, a bunch of modules, Dragon issues, issues of some other magazines that covered D&D ... just a ton of stuff. But this was the 80's, the era of the...
