Some say DCC RPG is just for one-shots.  Some say it’s a great campaign game.  Some say it’s a great con game.  Some say it’s perfect for the home table. Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.  One thing you don’t hear a lot about is high level adventures in DCC RPG!  Why not?  And let’s make some and let’s talk about some!  I’m Judge Julian and with me tonight is a partner in crime in the 10th Doomstar, a 10th level adventure for DCC RPG.  We’ll talk about that and the other adventures that push DCC to its limits, as well as how you might enjoy running and playing your own high level DCC adventures!

Just when you think everything has been done and there are no more frontiers, Goodman Games answers the question no one had in their brains. “What if we make adventures based on classic pinball games?” Of course the answer to that question is Pinball Crawl Classics (live on Backerkit right now). On this episode of Spellburn, we’ll talk pinball adventure design shop with 3/5ths of the Pinball Crawl Classics designers on hand.

We’re going to talk about how we got here in 2025, where we are today and most importantly we’re going to scry the future of DCC RPG (and Goodman Games) with the help of the Dark Master!

Eric Bloat, the big cheese over at Bloat Games, has been in the game publishing business since 2017, when he launched his first kickstarter Dark Places & Demogorgons. Since then he has been on a tear. Many other successful crowdfunding campaigns have come and gone. So many I cannot possibly do it justice. Vigilante City, Zombies, Evolved, The Blackest Deaths and, one of my favorites, a space marine zine called Operation: Bughunt. He publishes mainly for his own system, Survive This!, but has also released versions of his games for DCC RPG and 5th ed D&D. Tonight Spellburn invokes Eric Bloat!

DCC RPG codified supernatural patrons as something in between a game mechanic and narrative device. The notion was fresh, novel, and perfectly aligned to the game’s focus on Appendix N. Patrons are so good that the concept has worked its way into other RPGs. 

The cast of patrons and gods facilitates a table’s worldbuilding. This unique quality as pieces on the chessboard of the Moorcockian eternal struggle means that the more pieces you have to play with the better.

way back in 2013, Daniel Bishop, Paul Wolfe, David Fisher, and Sean Connors collaborated to publish DCC RPG’s first patron supplement, Angels, Daemons & Beings Between. 

Of course everyone recognizes Daniel and Paul, but David Fisher was the primary artist on the project and eventually took over as its main publisher. Under the name of Shinobi 27 games he has published a ton of other stuff and has an upcoming project which we will talk about on this month’s Spellburn!

If there WAS… what would I do to change the game??  I threw the question out to EVERYONE and we’re gonna go through all the answers I could grab in 3 weeks to find out!

We’ve been talking about it for years, we’ve been doing it for months, and now it’s time for a deep dive on Organized Play in DCC RPG!  But not with just anyone. No more, “But how does it work?” or “What is that, anyway?”  We went to the man himself, the Slime-Lord, the judge who’s run 1000 Insane Worlds, the expert on deep space turtles, the provider of Blades against Bandwidth– yes, of course it’s X-Crawl Classics’s DJ LaBoss himself, Judge Brendan.  ALL THIS, and we’re going to talk in the tavern, prep for GENCON (and Summer Knights Con), and much much more on this month’s Spellburn.

And we’ll talk with Dak about ye olden days, plans for Crawl, GENCON, visit the email crypts and then– as if this wasn’t enough– we’re going to go deeper– and reminisce some more with some very special pizza-flavored guests– Joey Royale & Tim Deschene!  ALL THIS AND MORE ON THIS MONTH’S SPELLBURN!!!

DCC’s been a gold standard of oldschool gaming for 10 years! There’s a ton of great content out there, from Goodman Games, from 3rd party publishers, free internet resources like Purple Sorcerer, and even (GUGHGHGBLLEAH) social media.  But what about people who make it happen behind the scenes?  Every adventure is full of good writing and art, but needs an editor and (really, really) needs a playtester or 20!  Tonight we talk to some of our favorites (and Judge Jen!)  Plus other gossip and malingering and a visit to the Email crypt!  All this and more on this month’s Spellburn!

Since DCC fans have come to Spellburn for the low-down on rules for the past decade, we’ll discuss some of the chewier Dying Earth rules with Judge Will Keller, one of the Demo Night judges who cut his teeth on them. We’ll also talk about some of the more entertaining pieces in the new setting with members of the Dying Earth writing team — and we may have a couple tidbits to share from the highly-anticipated Vance Manse trip!

While defying the gods is no longer viewed as a crime, as it was in ancient Greece, it is regarded as a tragic flaw in the human psyche. That said, if you’ve read anything on the Land of Hubris, World of Visceral Adventure, you’re not surprised that it spawns from the DCC community. It may be hubristic of us, but we’re pretty proud of this episode.

Thousands of people dwell within the eleven quarters that make up the City of Sevenscore Thousand Smokes. Anyone new to town is bound to run into some issues. Were you meeting with that fence to offload some newfound treasures tonight at the corner of Carter Street and Cash Street? …or was that Carter and Crafts Street? Or was it that alleyway just off the corner, between those abandoned shops? On the other side of the table — judges, the party may be looking for a place to lay low for a few weeks after barely escaping some dicey carousing results, but you don’t have any locales in mind from the modules you’ve gone over thus far.

Fear not! We’ve imported “Keeper” Bob Brinkman from the Sanctum Secorum podcast to show us how easy it is to give your players what they (and you) need. While working on the Lankhmar setting, he ran the campaign playtest almost entirely as a sandbox, and gave the community the resulting fully fleshed-out neighborhood. He’s here today to go over the last of the 3 source books in the Lankhmar boxed set with us, and we’re going to start a neighborhood map together!

Spellburn already covered the Cleric class. You know, back with the original line-up. Back when the show was still good.” And to that, I would respond first with “How dare you?” and second with “Yeah, true. But they didn’t discuss the real problem at hand, which is that WE DON’T NEED CLERICS, WE JUST NEED TO GIVE WIZARDS HEALING MAGIC!

Consistency:

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — ‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’ — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”

Many others listening will remember the world of Aéreth from back in the days when Dungeon Crawl Classics wasn’t the name of a roleplaying game but was instead the name of a line of adventure modules written for the world’s first fantasy roleplaying game.

Today we are lucky enough to have the man who quite literally wrote the book on the topic of Aéreth back in those days of yore. He’s here to talk to us about the system’s default setting and how it has changed since DCC RPG was launched.

In this episode we discuss what it means to uphold the honor of the hobby to all comers and whether or not that only applies to those of different ages. Should we make an effort to make our gaming table and the game itself more open and inclusive to those of all walks of life: regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexuality, etc.

Some of you listening may be saying “Well duh, of course,” and some of you may be saying “Oh great, now Spellburn is gonna get all preachy with their SJW nonsense”. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, we hope you’ll listen and join in on the conversation on social media afterwards!

We’re going to go deep into RPG theory and DCC with Steve Bean– all this and more on this week’s episode of Spellburn!

Horror films have been inspiring fantasy roleplaying from its inception. It is widely believed that the Cleric class’s main inspiration was Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing in the 1950s and 60s Hammer Horror films, and that the Magic Missile spell came from the 1963 movie “The Raven” with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Boris Karloff. Today we will focus on content creation and share ideas we have from some of our favorite horror films for how you can spice up your game!  Judge Michael Bolam joins us for another Horror classic!

When you deviate from the core book, you can find all manner of strange, exciting, and bizarre classes. Some of them emulate classes from the various editions of the world’s most popular fantasy roleplaying game, others are templates for futuristic or modern day settings, and some are just plain gonzo. We’ll be discussing this and more in our 51st episode of Spellburn!

VOID LICHThe Void Lich is a decrepit-looking humanoid completely encloaked in a shaggy coat of fur. The tufts just barely obfuscate deadly rows of quills lurking along its arms and torso. Even more disturbing, its body is pocked by large holes, nearly fist-shaped, within which moving swirls of an interplanar palette of blue can be seen.

Void Lich: Init +2; Atk barbed quill +4 melee (1d6+2 and grappled, then impaled) or dimensional claw +5 melee (1d8, special); AC 13; HD 8d12+8; MV 20’; Act 2d20; SP damage reduction 5, spellcasting (+7 spell check), grappled targets must make DC 14 Strength check to escape, impaled victims must make DC 15 Reflex save to disengage from quill barbs, vulnerable to fire, interdimensional claw attacks (see below), un-dead traits; SV Fort +5, Ref +3, Will +6; AL C.

The Void Lich’s preferred attack is to grab opponents and impale them repeatedly with its razor-sharp, barbed quills. The fist-sized craters marring the Void Lich’s shaggy coat are connected to a pocket dimension. A hideous, ravenous abomination dwells within the demiplane. When the Void Lich is in melee combat, blue-tinted finned tendrils and skeletal ten-fingered claws quickly stab their prey. Roll 1d6 each round of attack: (1-3) abomination makes two claw attacks (may exceed normal Act dice); (4-5) tendril wraps around target’s limb and victim is held, DC 15 Strength check to escape; (6) a claw tries to grab a random item and drag it back into the pocket dimension.

The biggest selling points of the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG aren’t just its old school vibe, easy-to-learn mechanics, and gonzo play style – it’s the art, which visually embodies all of these qualities in spades. Tonight, we’re privileged to talk with one of the primary architects of the visuals for the DCC RPG world and the voice of DCC himself, Doug Kovacs.

First up is a look at how players and judges react to a system where everything is not codified. DCC RPG gives the game back to the judges and throws off the shackles of “rules heavy” games.

Tonight we’re going to take a look at one of the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG’s defining game mechanics. When two wizards meet in a world where magic is wild, dangerous, and often barely understood by mere mortals, chaos quickly ensues. Two wizards go in, and only one wizard walks back out. Somebody’s going down. That’s right, with the help of very special guests Goodman Games writers Harley Stroh and Michael Curtis, we’re talking about the Spell Duel.

If you listened to this week’s episode of Spellburn then you already learned that Joseph Goodman’s nickname is “The Dark Master”. Alas, poor Harley Stroh, Goodman Games’ most prolific writer, lamented on air that he has no pet name. He has thrown himself upon the mercy of our listeners to give him one. So we’re running a contest to “Name That Stroh!”

Here’s how to enter:

1.) Post a comment on this page with a spiffy new moniker for Harley between 7/31/2013 and 8/6/2013. Make sure to post with your own name or handle. If you need some inspiration, we posted the friendliest picture we could find of Harley above.

2.) The triumvirate of Spellburn judges will whittle the entries down to the top 5 finalists.

3.) The winner will be determined DCC-style – with a Zocchi die roll – live on episode 8 of Spellburn.

Winning Entry

The winner gets bragging rights and more. Harley will wear a shirt at Gencon 2013 emblazoned with the new sobriquet, and will quite possibly never live down the appellation.

Good Luck!

In the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, these two fighter classes aren’t your typical hack-and-slash, one-trick war-ponies. Between Mighty Deeds of Arms and improved critical hit ranges, there’s just the right amount of skull-crushing style to make these two character classes entertaining to play level after level.
