    [Washington, DC] Looking for Players

    Hi, I'm 21, fresh out of college, in dupont circle and looking for players. Now that I'm out of college I don't want to stop running games or playing in them so I figured I should post here as well in addition to checking the local comic book shop. I will be running a TOCC campaign and right...

    TOCC, a new free D&D alternative

    This might just be a result of my programming background, but I believe it's better to be safe than sorry. This also prevents players from accidentally editing the rules.

    TOCC, a new free D&D alternative

    I'm a bit surprised that the colors are a problem, but they are just there to make it easier to see which languages use the same alphabets. The alphabets each of the languages uses is also listed, but I will try to pick better colors for this. Right now I'm in the process of turning the rules...

    TOCC, a new free D&D alternative

    It looks like I missed a few points earlier. TOCC originally stood for The Overly Complex Chimera as it was a combined the elements of several other systems into a single unit. I came up with the name during the design process before it was streamlined to be less complex and I've grown rather...

    TOCC, a new free D&D alternative

    Certification has to be validated by clicking on the box. It was a mistake for me to have it visible I admit, and I will be fixing that mistake in the next patch (a fairly minor patch in a month or two). As for the layout I'm not going to argue with you about it being ugly, but I've never...

    Need help with Loot Division

    My groups tended to just give loot to whoever would benefit from it the most. Since D&D is a team based game what's good for the team is good for everyone so there was no need for infighting. Now the fact that I tended to be decently respected in these groups helped smooth any conflicts that...

    TOCC, a new free D&D alternative

    Tirian, I wish I was in marketing so I could answer your question with some wonderful bit of clever glib that really meant nothing in the end, but I'll do my best to replace that with a substantive answer. TOCC doesn't stand out because of it's setting since there is no default setting, and in...

    TOCC, a new free D&D alternative

    I haven't played either but as far as I understand it from TOCC players who have played these systems. Character design flexibility is weaker than GURPS, but you can make characters faster and combat moves more quickly. I would also say the system is less versatile than GURPS, but I'm not sure...

    TOCC, a new free D&D alternative

    It's a valid question. In general the flavor is weaker since TOCC isn't supposed to be setting specific and the mechanics are better laid out. The rulebook is also longer than most with the PDF weighing in at 190 pages without illustrations. The breakdown is roughly 130 pages of character...

    TOCC, a new free D&D alternative

    Hi, I'm new here the nice folks at theRPG site advised me to come here to promote my new game, TOCC. TOCC is a free d20 game, which is very similar to Dungeons and Dragons, and that's because it's based on version 3.5's open gaming content. Now what I like about TOCC compared to D&D is the...
