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

    You seem to be under the misapprehension that because I do not like an element of a piece of fiction and I am critical of that element that I don't like the fiction as a whole. I really like Firefly, Deadlands, Wheel of Time, etc. though I am not a fan of the elements of them that romanticizes...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    Non weapon proficiencies were in the 2e PH and part of a whole chapter on proficiencies and had done out ability based mechanics for a lot of them (some were like feats in giving non ability based stuff). They were, however, explicitly an optional 2e system and not the only one. A lot of options...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    1e didn't have that as a tradition, it had a bunch of one off resolutions, often leaving it to the DM to ad hoc a resolution. The mechanisms that were there were sometimes based on ability scores, sometimes based on race or class or levels or just flat rolls, possibly modified by abilities or...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    It would work, I would play. Make a lot of stuff class and background based for bonuses on checks. Could give a small bonus (replacing a stat bonus) for the whole class list of skills then add proficiency for chosen skills.

    D&D General Does anyone know which products had Elmore's Dragon Slayers, and Proud Of It! art?

    I like it. It is very in action with the guy riding out to the attack, sword drawn and ready to swing and he is in a decent setting, not just a figure cut out. The biggest downside to me is the helmet wings? The closer the inspection the less they work for me. From a distance they are fine...

    D&D General Does anyone know which products had Elmore's Dragon Slayers, and Proud Of It! art?

    How are you expecting them to hang limp? Closer to the body? More extended out? When you hang a bird like a pheasant from the neck the wings are generally not extended out but against the body like they are when it is standing upright. I am not sure that applies or what should apply to the...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    I have not kept up with all the Goodman Games 5e adventures but there are a lot of Fifth Edition Fantasy short modules similar to the 3e DCC line including a 5e version of the 3.5 DCC big module Crypt of the Devil-Lich. The thing that superficially seems the biggest change for me in feel is the...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    They have. Doom of the Savage Kings is the lowest numbered DCC using the DCC RPG, it was DCC 66.5. DCC 67 came out in 2012, fourteen years ago. It looks like they stopped using that text after DCC 70, which also came out in 2012. Here is the intro paragraph in DCC 100 The Music of the Spheres...
