Tall's Portal Under the Starts [DCC] - OOC- Closed

[TallIan]

I participated in the open game development of the system. It did not turn out to be the old school heartbreaker I was looking for.

I found that playing was kind of like my first few games - possibly because it's hard to feel like you are making poor choices when so much is randomised. But I have to agree, they have put a LOT of complexity behind the screen that doesn't feel anything like old school.

I also was part of the open game development. I've also published a 3pp module "Wrath of the Frost Queen", though it's less of a one shot than standard DCC modules. I've played some successful pbp games with it, too! It is designed with a sense of what the author enjoys about RPGs, and that's a great way to make a game. It inspired me to try my hand at my own game, with the same idea: make the game I'd want to run/play. And it got me to try my hand at publishing modules.

There's a random generator at Purple Sorcerer games. It's got options for making up 4+ characters at a time, plus different styles of character sheets.

Dammit, I didn't see this until after my post. Feel free to use this for char gen if you like.

Oh yeah. I'm going to just use that. Forget I rolled anything.

 

[tglassy]

How's this?

 

[tglassy]

Ok, it keeps changing what's on the card? The four that show up when I click that aren't the four that I saved on my computer?

 

[tglassy]

Trying again.

 

[tglassy]

That seems to have worked.

I love that the ditch digger has "fine dirt" as his trade good.
