    DCC is an absolute blast to play- it’s the gaming equivalent of a purple velour-lined van with a wizard riding a flying, fire-breathing unicorn airbrushed on the side.

    For the first funnel I ran, half the characters got a d14 HP kicker at 0 level. Out of 16 characters, 5 survived. Unsurprisingly, they were all among those with the kicker. So we're keeping that mechanic.

    I must admit I've found your three DCC videos most interesting. And entertaining! I'm still not in awe of OSR RPGs but all the same you seem to be doing a very good job of trying to convert me 😊
    I like the idea of Level 0 and I like the DCC Spell mechanisms but to be honest, Level 0 would be easy to implement in 5e or PF. Spells would be more difficult but still doable I would imagine. The lack of character options seems to be the main drawback for me (that and the chance of starting with 1HP). Limited Classes and Races, no Feats, no Skills as such. The results of Character creation seems dull, most characters might get a +1 or -1 to an Ability Score, a -/+2 if you are really lucky.
    I can see the attraction to the "grittiness" but that's really a play style, not a rule set IMO. All the same, your enthusiasm makes your DCC series a pleasure to watch and I look forward to seeing more of them. As you say, DCC might not be for everyone but clearly you are enjoying yourself playing DCC!

      I am ejoying it! It was an odd day when I realized some of my players didn't enjoy DCC as much as me. It is not for everyone but I like it because it was a very different experience with DCC than I've had with D&D like ever!
      There are fun aspects to learn from the OSR and older TTRPGs :)

      @@JocularJunction I see DCC as it is and not necessarily in reference to anything else. It’s for me and likely for its creators its own thing and not necessarily I don’t think an attempt to influence or modify or tinker with current DnD. I have barely an inkling of what older editions might be like. I simply enjoy DCC as one would would enjoy Pathfinder: for different reasons. Essentially different systems and games with similarities in RPG themes and tropes. They might serve to INSPIRE one’s current DnD experience but that’s about it. And you pick up here and there about the grind of leveling up in old DnD. Also something referenced about an “Appendix E”...

      @testtest648 3 года назад +1

      I disagree. Gritty is mechanical too. I literally cannot run 5e after Tasha's. People coming in with passive perception of 21. Investigation of 21, ect, ect. Thos are Godly amounts of skills. I can't stand these min/maxing players at the table. They ruin my enjoyment of the game because they have an attitude of "fuck you my character is OP, I CAN do that because the rules say I can!" Rules are being substituted for actually dealing with problems in an intelligent or fun way.

      @@testtest648 Yeah, it's like playing one of the Avengers. You don't really need to be a good player because you're so powerful you can succeed in most situations. I briefly tried 5e, but quickly returned to OSR games. Started playing DCC last year. I still play other OSR games because DCC can get a bit bogged down with all the tables, but I love the feel & tone of this game.

    Screw 5E. I DM'd AD&D 2nd Edition in my teenage years & 3.5 for a few years as an adult. I don't recognize 4E or 5E. I haven't played in almost 20 years but I've been wanting to start back up. I'm going with DCC. I'm convinced. I don't have the available time to memorize tedious combat mechanics. Ordered the core rulebook & dice today. I'm really looking forward to this!

    This kind of tutorial helps a lot. Being quite lost in discovering the rules (I played D&D thirty years ago) I'm looking for someone who would be able to explain to me how to apply in order the said rules... Because I can't seem to get started as a "Judge" in a first adventure... Each time something refers to another... and another... and I'm lost.

  • @Deaddinoproductions
    @Deaddinoproductions 7 месяцев назад

    It’s not made clear in the book, but on mercurial magic rolls I would calculate that -20% Luck mod based on the number you roll (rounded up), not 20% of 100. So a roll of 20 with a -20% modifier would result in a 16. This makes it less punishing on low rolls and more punishing on high rolls. Otherwise any roll of 21 or less results in a 1, which is kind of lame.

    I like the DCC rules, they aren't too abstract and aren't too crunchy. I find them to be good and solid. However, I am not a fan of the RAW character creation system as it takes player agency and chucks it in the bin.

    "You can choose a patron if you so desire." Is that true? I thought you couldn't get a patron until you cast "invoke patron". I did not know that you just get to START with one... Huh...

    • @JocularJunction
      @JocularJunction  2 месяца назад

      Hmm now I'm not sure. Maybe it was just a "why not" house rule of mine. Invoke Patron was used to determine how connected you are to said patron. I always let my players pick which one they wanted, Elves or Wizards.
