Time for day five of RPG a Day 2017, and today’s question, which is: What RPG Cover Best Captures the Spirit of the Game? This is totally a cheat, but I would have to answer Dungeon Crawl Classics. If you aren’t familiar with the game, you may be wondering how this is a cheat. Well–in the few short years the
Read moreI never quite did a campaign post mortem for DCC, because I jumped straight into my Edge of the Empire dual campaigns that I was running at the time. Long story short, it was a lot of fun, but the game didn’t quite work the way I wanted it to work. I don’t blame the game system, but the game
Read moreThe Dungeon Crawl Classics game wound down to a close during this week’s session. I really do enjoy running the game, and its a lot of fun, but I had previously promised to run a Star Wars Edge of the Empire game around this time, and, well, long story short, something had to give or change form. Our adventurers had
Read moreThe Dungeon Crawl Classics crew continued to crawl through the elven dungeon that they happened upon a few sessions back. Just to recap, for anyone that doesn’t remember, these aren’t Tolkien happy fun time wise and good elves. These are Moorcock decadent human hating elitist elves. The party managed to find the portal room that connects the remote outpost
Read moreAfter finding their new friends and defeating some rather surly shrubbery outside of an ancient elven outpost, our band of adventurers attempted to rest. This did not go well for them, as the evil Judge (me) rolled a really nasty random encounter for the group. The encounter was with a black pudding, which I modified a bit from their original

Apparently I failed my grammar check when attempting to pronounce pussiant. To be fair, according to the online pronunciation guides I looked up, there are like
Read moreThe only thing left for our intrepid adventurers to do was to make it back home and claim their reward from the merchant that had sent them after the vampire making chalice. Of course, both wizards were badly spellburned, and the party halfling had wandered off. The trip home was long and arduous, in part because the dice really hated
Read moreSo what happened in our last DCC game? The party ran into various forms of custom undead creatures. An ooze made out of discarded organs, an undead assassin, a cabal of wizard apprentices that were more powerful if all three of them were casting in conjunction, an undead berserker charged with necrotic energy, shadow snakes, and a bear zombie with
Read moreI wanted to save the Multiversial Doomshifter for its own entry, because, well, it has charts. The Multiversial Doomshifter is a series of nested glass spheres with various points of light on them. When firmly held and shaken by a user, the various nested sphere spin around until a single point of light from each of the nested glass spheres
Read moreI made up the following items to give the players a little boost, so that they could keep playing the same characters even if disaster befell them, so they could get just a little further up the adventurer food chain. My initial thought was that they might use them a session or two after they found them, maybe even later
