Why in God's name does DCC require oddball dice, when i already own hundreds of dice?

Quote from: Rhedyn;1096297The DCC RPG explains that it attempts to make D&D feel "new again" which meant to them adding back mystery and certain struggles. One of struggles being to find the dice you needed to play the game, hence the funny shaped dice.

That's hilarious! :-D

And DCC is getting talked about, regardless.

I think you are going to be very happy with the purchase. It reads differently than it plays IMO. It plays fast, and really fun. It does take a few times for players with low level chars a few sessions to realize, they can pull off some things that are pretty awesome, and they will have to, because if you buy some of goodman games's modules (as a side note, their quick start rules are very handy to have for quick reference and helping new people grasp the game) you are going to be pretty surprised at some of the things the adventures put in front of low level chars.

I have wanted to pull and tug on D & D a little bit, to see what changes are possible. Dungeon World went in one direction, and DCC has gone in a different direction.

Personally ive had more fun with
DCC than ive had i a long time, so i didnt mind picking up some extra dice. I like how the di e chain works going straight from a d29 to a d12 if your moved down one level is probably too big a jump.

Only Sezrekan possesses a d29.

It's your d30 with no underline or dot to demarcate the difference between its 6 and 9.

Rolling up level Zero characters, right now.

After considering the pros and cons of all 7 classes in DCC; Elf seems to be all Pro, except for being vulnerable to Iron? Assuming you roll up an Elf via the d100 Occupation table, why wouldn't you be rooting for your Elf character to survive Level Zero?

As a GM; I'd make their vulnerability to Iron, be their kryptonite.

Wizards start off with one more spell per day (2 by the end), a familiar, and their luck bonus on corruption rolls rather than a single sorry.

Also the chance of rolling both decent mage stats and an elf background is far lower than human.

The oddball / funky dice have arrived. Now I can add a d3 to my Warrior's d20 attack rolls at level 1.

Eh? Isn't a d3 just half a d6? 1-2 = 1, 3-4 = 2, 5-6 = 3 No?

Razor 007 · August 05, 2019, 08:11:36 PM

I know, but now I actually have a d3.
