[QUOTE="Ath'kethin, post: 8587324, member: 6798775"] That's a damn shame. I've never run or played "Accursed Heart," so I can't speak to it specifically, but the funnels I've run and/or played through didn't have that problem. My personal favorite funnel is "The Portal Under the Stars." IMO it's honestly the best intro to DCC both in terms of playability and setting expectations for the kind of weird stuff the game brings/encourages. Also it's pretty short. But most funnels also say they're designed for 8-20 characters, which is a bit more manageable than 20-odd. It still strains credibility to have 16 or 20 peasants single filing their way down a 10' corridor, but with the threat of colorful death so eminent, we don't want to have players run out of characters to play too quickly. It's also true, however, that the longest running DCC campaign I ever ran started at level 1, with characters not quite so randomly generated as the book suggests. For one thing, I let everybody choose their class - so a character with the Elven Cook background, for example, doesn't need to be an elf at all. [/QUOTE]
