SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Most of the Good Videos about DCC, focus upon very Low Level Play.

I'd love to hear from DMs who are running games for a group of say 5th Level Characters and above.  How gonzo have your games gotten?  How crazy has the unpredictability of Magic been at your table?  How hard has it been for your characters to survive to see 5th level and above?

I don't run a gonzo game, so its not all that gonzo. That said:

  • the PCs have managed to draw the attention of a demon with a penchant for necorphillic buggery
  • one PC has been cursed by a witch and turned into a pig, the PCs are now using the PC pig to rig pig wrestling betting

The magic has been unpredictable, but I don't know if I would call it crazy. There has been a bit of corruption and patron taint. And two of the four Cleric PCs their god's disapproval such that they must go on a quest to aid the crippled, blind, lamed, sickly, etc. There have been times when the Wizards have rolled well. One time, the PCs are about the fight the final big-bad demon. The Wizard casts Magic Missile, rolls stupid high, and kills it with 69 points of damage. And one Wizard has been killingly effective with Color Spray at all the wrong times.

I have been running my DCC campaign for 3+ years. We play every two to three weeks. Each player has anywhere from four to six PCs. Out of 18 PCs only one has made it to 5th level. So far, other than 0-level funnels, only one PC has died, but there have been numerous times where a PC has been one hit away from being killed (I tend to roll like crap).

I think that, while not a video series you could shearch for Bill the Elf's channel on YT, there's the recordings of Pundit's last sun game.

I might be wrong and it's not DCC but I think it is.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Can confirm. Pundit's Last Sun game is played with DCC.
