I know tha...It sounds like a huge leap of faith...<br /><br />I know that Joe "understands" the market because of his obvious involvement, but I don't feel as if I'm as disconnected as to completely miss seeing where this might "fit in". Let's just say I'm a little skeptical on how it will sell.<br /><br />That aside, it sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I've instituted some of the lists that James has posted regarding some of the risks of using magic, and while it's a bit too much for some players, those who really enjoy the grit of the older novels (Appendix 'N') completely took to it.<br /><br />I'm very intrigued to see what he comes up with. And like others, I wish him lots of luck.Gamer Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006232842482959060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-80733951788467685202010-11-01T15:48:35.166-04:002010-11-01T15:48:35.166-04:00My store hosted one of the playtests.

Thats how much fun we had. I can say that as of right now, the rules emulate a gritty sword & sorcery game in the vein of Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser or Conan very, very well. I know the Magic system will let you burn attribute points to improve your roll & that feels very appropriate to the genre, IMHO.Cross Planeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00258583245202567276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-68201039558537645572010-11-01T12:53:11.242-04:002010-11-01T12:53:11.242-04:00That is certainly very ambitious!

And it could be just the thing to make DCC stand out from the crowd of simulacra - which it will probably need to do; as things stand now, anyone wanting to play some old fashioned D&D have plenty of options, many of them even free.<br /><br />I'll be watching this one with great interest.Slaughtermillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970436092152284178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-30015249655295400012010-11-01T11:46:01.210-04:002010-11-01T11:46:01.210-04:00I can't into details and things change over ti...I can't into details and things change over time throughout the playtest. But if it doesn't succeed it won't be for a lack of trying. The Appendix N is vibe has been in everything I gotten so far. I think the DCC RPG is going to be very distinct and develop a solid fan base once released. <br /><br />If you wants more hands on experience come to Erie Days of Gaming in two weeks where I will be running a playtest session Saturday Evening*. <br /><br />http://www.eriedog.com/index.html<br /><br />It about a 3 hour drive from Toronto.<br /><br />Note it currently says I am running a Ruins of Ramat using Swords & Wizardry Saturday Evening. I am in the process of trying to correct that.Robert Conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863009007381185340noreply@blogger.com
