I'm loving this game!

I've just started GMing a DCC game and I'm enjoying more than I have any fantasy rpg in a very long time.

It seems like the perfect balance of Old school and New. Takes me back to the days I began over 30 years ago, but with more modern design.

Simply brilliant stuff.

who else here is playing?

I just purchased the hard cover after owning and running using a PDF. There is also a ton of third party support for the game.

 

[Tush Hog]

Yeah, I've been picking up a few modules. Pretty impressed.

Probably a dumb questions but what is DCC?

Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG is a game from Goodman Games. It's very old school in intent with insight from modern games and mechanics.

One of the brilliant things about it for me, is the way it uses randomness to balance the game.

You’re no hero.You’re an adventurer: a reaver, a cutpurse, a heathen-slayer, a tight-lipped warlock guarding long-dead secrets. You seek gold and glory, winning it with sword and spell, caked in the blood and filth of the weak, the dark, the demons, and the vanquished. There are treasures to be won deep underneath, and you shall have them.
Return to the glory days of fantasy with the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game. Adventure as 1974 intended you to, with modern rules grounded in the origins of sword & sorcery. Fast play, cryptic secrets, and a mysterious past await you: turn the page…

There is a growing number of third parties, like Purple Sorcerer, supporting the system, with settings, rules mods, adventures, and magazines like Crawl and now D.A.M.N.

Count me as another fan of the game. Up until this point I've only run a few one-shots but I just picked up the Tales From the Fallen Empire PDF and am considering running a sandbox game in the setting once my groups 13th Age campaign ends.

I've been playing for about a year and love the game.

Sadly, my Wizard Thulgar died last session. It was probably for the best, as his negative luck combined with some epically bad rolling on my part (I never rolled so many ones for a character) had caused him to suffer a lot of disfiguration from magic wracking his body. Whenever he touched paper there was a chance it would burn (not good for a wizard with a spellbook), he had wolf ears, and was constantly shivering because he was always cold and could never get warm. The only moments he felt any warmth were when he cast flaming hands upon his enemies... and ran the risk of further corruption.
