DCC is in there, if anyone needs a copy, plus a bunch of other random stuff.

It's a little tempting.

That's a really good deal! I've played a fair amount of DCC and enjoyed it quite a bit, especially as my main character was a Wizard and the spectacular spell-effects were honestly worth the price of admission, especially when you did something horrible to boost them. The funny dice add absolutely nothing to the experience IMO other than riffing on the age-old gamer dice affliction, but whatever. In my experience the modules are fairly workmanlike, but they do function really well as set pieces for the rules, so you have pretty gonzo games that can just explode with hilarious unpredictability. The fact that DCC doesn't take itself seriously, but does take fun seriously, is I think what makes it so good.

At this point I've got 2nd level adventurers in my DCC campaign. We played Doom of the Savage Kings - a hoot!

Yeah, it's like you're paying for the dice and then getting the rulebook, module, and screen for just another $5. |

Perhaps the dice step is the best of all things about DCCRPG, AFAIC.
I'm of two minds about the "zocchi dice"
I don't understand folks who find such disdain in it that they won't play the game . "Now I have to buy weird dice??!! No way! " . Uh yeah, sorry doodz and doodettes- you already own bags full of weird dice. Your argument falls flat on it's face.
But Earthdawn had a great dice step system nearly 30 years ago and they were able to do it without the need for the more rare "zocchi dice", so the DCC take does seem like a way to produce a bunch of "overpriced collectibles". And Goodman is not only doing that with dice, but for all the products in the DCC RPG line- module covers, book covers, trinkets, zines, etc. I'm 110% behind capitalism, but I cannot get into "collectible/rare" business models. Extremely off-putting for my personal tastes.
DCC is ripe for mechanic steals (Deeds, Cleric Healing, Luck, Thief Skills, FRW Saves) and inspiration no doubt. The system at it's core is a solid version of 3.0, but I tired quickly of the endless chart consultations, mortality rate, and emphasis on zero level/funnel play.

Does anyone have experience with the softcover rulebook? Is it at all durable?

Does anyone have experience with the softcover rulebook? Is it at all durable? I think geoffrey purchased one, maybe he can elaborate? Yes, I recently purchased the softcover rulebook. It is quite heavy. There seems to be quite a bit of glue in the spine. When I open it or read it, I never hear or feel anything that makes me think that any pages are going to come loose. That said, I have not had the rulebook for long, nor have I used it in a game. The real answer could be provided by someone who has been regularly using it in a game for a year or more. |
