Message: <blockquote data-quote="RevTurkey" data-source="post: 7648571">Few things...The dice: weird shaped polys were strange back in the 70s. That worked out okay...'I play Monopoly which has six sided dice so this D&D can get lost'?Appendix N: Joseph and many people involved in the Playtests took great efforts to read most if not all of these books. Mr.Goodman certainly tried to add elements of these stories into the game. Imagining a world or setting in your head is going to be different for each of us. If you think he got it wrong but still want to play DCC then no problem. Change it.Clerics: they are in D&D. We like D&D. I think that is why they stayed in.New Players: I think it is more accessible than some editions of D&D and less so than others or retroclone versions etc (say Labyrinth Lord). Here is a link to a Forum posting about introducing new blood that seemed to go well enough: <a href="http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=38282" target="_blank">Goodman Games &bull; View topic - First foray into DCC and RPGs in general for the family</a>The Funnel: to me it is great fun but if you or your players don't like the idea or are nervous about trying something unfamiliar, that is fair enough. You can start the game at 1st level by just determining what happened during that 0 level stage without actually playing through it. Maybe then, if you enjoyed the main game, the next time you create characters you might want to try it out. Not a problem.I am a fan of this game and would like people to try it to see if they may have fun and interesting adventures with it too. Trying to put people off for reasons that are at best subjective and not about terribly broken rules or horrendously offensive content, to me seems overly negative and smacks of trying to introduce some sort of flame war/game bashing to this thread. I don't want to upset the couple of posters my comment is directed at...I just want them to take a moment to consider why they want to be so negative about a new game that is just trying a different direction. Peace, love, beads etcFolks it is a game. Maybe try it if you can. I enjoy it a lot.I keep imagining a child saying to Mummy...'no, I won't eat the carrot, I don't like carrots! But son...you've never tried carrots'I like funky dice and I like Carrots <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />(please don't be horrible to me in reply. I tried to be nice and friendly)</blockquote>
