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.

I'm keeping an eye out for this one.

I can't help but notice that there's a "casting ability" number. I'm a sucker for D&D variants which introduce spell failure mechanics (it can't be "proper" S&S without magic blowing on the caster's face every now and then, now, can it). I've tried cooking up spell failure house rules of my own but it's a thin line between nerfing the magic-user into oblivion vs. spell failure chances so low that the mechanic seldom comes into play.

DCC has a very nice casting roll mecahnic, but it does complicate creating and converting new spells immensely. Every single spell needs a fairly detailed table. (In retrospect it's no more difficult than cooking up a random encounter table, but it's still more footwork than most editions of D&D.)

Also, the art really is amazing. I am really looking forward to see what the final product will look like.

Also color me impressed with that sample page. I really like how the cleric looks like they stepped right out of a museum.

Yeah, in my skill based game, it was easy.  We assigned a success % to each spell based oin the diffculty, and each spell skill had a spell success bonus as a sub skill.  and if the players wanted to pour more spell points into the spell to increase the success, that is always allowed.

Boost the 'Chance to know Spell' by maybe 5-10% and roll that each time they cast.  I wouldn't advise using it as is; casting a known spell should be easier than learning a new one.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

This will probably make you jealous then! I had that piece commissioned from Ian Baggley and, thankfully, he and Jeff liked it enough to include it.


The angle here is not great, but you can see the original hydra pic on the left and then the cleric pic on the right. The cleric pic was a pledge level perk.
