Otherwise I will stick to 1eAD&D and the Astonishing Swordsmen version I'm still learning. Not sure what I am going to do with my DCC rulebook but the pictures are still real pretty.


Jason,

I'd be interested in what you think of the magic rules in my game system, found here free of charge:  throwigames.com/downloads.html

My main guidelines are but 21 pages with an additional 12 pages in the Advanced Guide - easy enough to read through once or twice in an evening.  I have designed magic in my system to be completely wide-open, allowing for almost anything that the player can dream up.  You can find basic magic guidelines in the core document and AOE ideas in the Advanced Guidelines.

One thing you'll notice with TSRS is that there are few guidelines.  It's a system designed for quick play and advancement, with little to no "rule-checking".

Thanks,

throwi

I will give a read-through of your rule system and let you know what I think.

Granted it's not as easy as point-and-click shopping, but all we have to do is run a game.  Could be anywhere, doesn't have to be at a at a con.

Mars, do you collect DCC?  Wanna meet for a game?


I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

I have stopped collecting DCC but am always trying to pick up rarer items.  I'm sure we could find a time/place to do a game :)

The deal right now is to get the limited 76.5 Well of the Worm module is it's only available for sale if you buy two of the June/July new releases.

Dungeon Crawl Classics

So, in trying to decide which two I wanted, I considered *another* printing of the rules.  This time round, there's a limited Jeff Easley cover version that comes with a Stephen Poag art folio:

Dungeon Crawl Classics

Further, a quick look on-line showed quick appreciation of the other two limited rule-books, at least in terms of 'asking' prices.

Gold foil edition at $175 through NK website:
Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG (Gold Foil Limited Edition)

Wizard cover edition at $90 through ebay:
Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG (Limited Edition Wizard Cover)

So I'm not sure how brisk those items will move at those prices, but still it's an opportunity to pick up limited, cool, collectible items at cover price.  DCC collectors, consider getting on board with the Easley rules and #76.5!  (You can order two of the modules)

I know I'm late to the party, but I've bought both the gold foil and Jeff Easely hard covers - because after reading it, I found the game to be excellent.  It has some of the most interesting rules - while (in my opinion anyway) respecting the essence of old school D&D.  I can't wait to play / run the game!

A couple fun DCC RPG pics...

For the completist, a print copy of Tower out of Time - well worth the effort to set up a game!

And I just noticed how cool the rulebooks' spines looked when lined up - It's like the Band is watching over... :)
