Hey everyone, I've recently started a DCC YouTube channel and I want to know what the community wants to see. I've been doing product reviews, unboxings and opinion videos so far.
Here's a link if you want to check out my channel
Hello DCC Faithful, I have a question about the original publications that printed some mechanics I found in Evolved RPG.
For those unfamiliar: Evolved is a superhero hack of DCC. It leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm looking for the original publication for the following mechanics and rules in the DCC framework:
Many of these rules are very clearly copied and pasted, in most cases leaving out entire sections of the rules, like with firearms, or they forgot to change the terminology of them to fit the context of their setting. I am looking for these in order to see the full letter of the rules pasted into Evolved. I am hoping to write something to share with the community that uses those mechanics and would also like to directly cite the original sources.
Thank you in advance!
Any help greatly appreciated. TIA

I'll be running Operation Unfathomable soon and I wonder how ready I should be for a party that wants to explore the tunnels that leave the map. I know the player-facing map tries to lead them into the heart of it so I imagine that does some of the heavy lifting. Still, I can imagine parties who want to >!turn SW instead of NE when they enter the tunnels!<, just for the hell of it.
So, I'm curious how many of you had parties that left the map >!in directions other than returning to Fort Enterprise or entering the Odious Uplands!<? Did you prepare anything on those directions, or generate it procedurally? Anyway advice to share based on your experience?
I've bought three collections of adventures in Lankhmar (Tome of Adventures 1, 2 and 3), which were delivered yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't know the boxed set makes major changes to the core rules. I would like to know if there is any way to get the Boxed set or at least a summary of change to the rules. I guess the general setting environment can be obtained from the novel books, which I am willing to start reading.
I thought at first they are for the entire group (so if it fails they all run or stay if it succeeds) , but when I re-read the Morale rules it seems that it's actually rolled per individual monster.
>The morale check is made by rolling 1d20 and adding the creature’s Will save. A result of 11 or higher is success – the creature can keep fighting. On a 10 or less, the check is failed – the creature attempts to flee the combat. Retain- ers also add their employer’s Personality modifier. In some cases, the DC may be higher than 11, particularly when magical effects are involved.
Joe just made the announcement at Dungeon Con. The newest ApN license is Elric!
I understand that funnels are a great tool for character creation and a lot of fun.
But
In a long campaign with high lethality and frequent character turnover, new characters will at least come in at level 1. So a large portion of the players, if not most of them, will end up playing characters who didn’t come from a funnel.
So despite being fun, doesn’t the funnel become irrelevant in the long run?
Last Podcast on the Left is covering the insanity that is Count Dante, so I looked him up to see what he looked like.
I have a player who has religious objections to the concept of patrons as written, but he's still interested in the mechanical results of the patron bond and the roleplaying opportunities it brings. I respect his views and I have no issue as long as it doesn't interfere with the other players at a social level.
With that in mind, does anyone know of any supplements that deal with patrons as non-supernatural beings? I know that sounds counterintuitive, but he does want to engage with the concept, just not in a way that is counter to his personal beliefs. I've thought of maybe offering a pantheon of Christian angels considering they fit the concept, but that could be considered blasphemous and they'd be existing with other gods and beings, which could cause a whole host of other challenges for him since I could not in gameplay terms make them omnipotent or superior.
Any thoughts? Perhaps it's just easier to put it to bed so I don't ruffle any feathers?
I LOVE Purple Duck's Faerie Tales From Unlit Shores but I haven't been able to shake the idea of "What if it went further?" I.e. adventures that hold steadfast to the core principles of Disney Princess movies, but use the standard DCC rules. There's something really charming about the idea of the Lost Boys fighting hook and his pirates and being brutally decapitated by a nasty roll on the crit table. Keep the setting sweet, and let the rules be the grit and horror.
I guess my question is: Is that anything? Or is this just me being wierd?
I was able to play a funnel with a group at a LGS. but they don't meet often and I would like to work through the rules more on my own, and wondered what Oracle system worked well.
Looking for more resources for X-Crawl Classics, discussions, rule clarifications, etc. I'm struggling to find much of anything out there except a couple of YouTube actual plays and a LOT of interviews with Brendan where he's basically going over the same selling points for the system. I ran my first session, level 0 funnel, recently and had a blast. Does anyone know of an Xcrawl specific subreddit, message board or anywhere where there's more specific discussion happening?
Hello there,
I am GM of an offline and recently for an online DCC groups.
We always played like this: After creation, the modifiers are not influenced by the actual attribute's value. So, with 13 ST you get +1. After receiving ST dmg, the modifier stays at +1.
Recently I played online with FoundryVTT. When you receive attribute damage there, it automatically changes the modifiers too.
So, I am confused. Do they change depending on the actual value?
Thanks for some clarification!
