Statements, explanation videos, etc.

I can't speak for everything. I've only been playing/following DCC since last August. Searching for Goodman Games on Backerkit, the results show Caverns of Thracia ~$654k; Old School Traps ~$203k; Terror from the Underdeep ~$255k; Dungeon Denizens 2 ~$314k; DCC Roll 20 ~$31k; and various...

Honestly, if I were advising Joseph Goodman on PR, I would lean toward telling him not to do more interviews, despite the rocky rollout of the project -at least not right now. The project appears to be a success. As well, some portions of the community asking questions the loudest have...

I think the PCs should be poised to become exceptional. Where I'm not sure how to answer is in defining the gap between normal and exceptional. In some games, exceptional may mean pew pew magic lasers firing from every orifice. In other games, exceptional may mean inspiring leadership while...

I think it's accurate to say that Joseph Goodman wants to print the project. He admits that in videos. GG appears to be following through with steps that were claimed to prevent Bledsaw from getting money from this. That threading of the needle currently appears to be acceptable enough for...

Or Hanlon's Razor... Not entirely understanding the contract being signed before signing it is a possibility. Upthread, someone had mentioned that Bledsaw making the statements that he made in public would break the contract. I'm not a lawyer, but I do not believe there exist a law which would...

I think the current project already covers the Wilderlands. According to the project description and subsequent comments: "•A complete Guide to the City State of the Invincible Overlord detailing an entire fantasy city containing nearly 400 locations, more than 500 NPCs, almost 200 rumors and...

That's a good point. Even for those who feel uneasy about supporting GG, there is a lot of third-party content. Once you have the core book needed to play, you can easily find options for expanding your DCC game through other companies. For example, I recently backed a new funnel made by a...

This seems longer ago than I had thought. Participating in this thread was the extra push behind buying into DCC. Old Man Roberts lived beyond that first adventure. This weekend, I will be running a funnel for a second group who is all new to DCC, using the starter adventure in the core book...

Posted Yesterday: "...we have in our possession Bob Bledsaw Sr's handwritten original notes for the City State. Much of this material can be correlated with published materials, but some of it was never actually published in any form that we can locate. The development team has tried to...

You may get the 8 dollars. The project is currently at $471,717; with 5 more days to go.

So far, it seems that around 1500 people are willing to pay for the product and upcoming projects still seem fine. I think it helps that Goodman Games is doing what they said they would do (e.g. limiting the print run; limiting the pdfs) to ensure that JG does not financially benefit. Post...

Invincible Overlord seems to be doing pretty well on Backerkit. I had thought that some of the negative buzz might slow the project down, but it instead appears to be selling faster than I thought it would. Overall, Goodman Games still seems to be going strong. Castle Whiterock now has over...

I appreciate the active discourse and response. My knowledge of AD&D is very limited. I recently had the good fortune to be given some old modules and supplements. Around the same time, I became more aware of OSRIC. I imagine that surprised and initiative might not be too terrible once I got...

At first, I thought "doesn't seem so bad." Then, I realized that I was on page 2 of 20.

I've read through some of the information about OSRIC on Backerkit. The following descriptions stood out to me: "...2. Adding Encounter Distance to the combat sequence, per AD&D rules. Not precisely the same method -- the AD&D rules for encounter distance and especially how they interact with...

Something that is often overlooked is command & control. Being able to communicate and coordinate attacks via Sending Stones (or something similar) can open up a lot of tactical options. Even without magic, a lot of simple things like colored smoke or a trumpet can be used to communicate with...

From the DM side of things, a combination of #3 and #5 work well against over-eager PCs. Give up the center to a charging PC and lead them into double envelopment. Whether or not the game uses Facing Rules has some influence on how effective such tactics may be, but being surrounded and...

If I misunderstood or misattributed your specific statement, then I apologize that I did so.

I would agree that not believing Goodman is not equivalent to believing Bledsaw. However, using the Bledsaw statement as the basis upon which to judge that Goodman should not be believed (or that Goodman should be believed less) indicates that value is being placed upon Bledsaw's statement. I...
