Lots of great ideas to get your juices flowing. I can't wait to drop these into my game.

Great articles that really got me thinking, from the greatest minds in tabletop RPG.

This game is Dungeons and Dragons turned up to 11! This heavy-metal flavored fantasy game is what Gygax and Arneson would have written if they had 30 years of RPG game design under their belt in 1974.

The Third Edition of D&D (the same edition that Pathfinder is based on) is the underpinning to this thrill ride. Some of the awesome OSR flavor that this game oozes:

• 3d6 in order stat generation. No swaps, no rolling 4d6, no mulligans.
• High PC mortality. Everyone starts with 4 PCs, with the assumption a few will die during the 1st adventure.
• Each arcane magic spell is customized per wizard using the Mercurial Magic rules.
• Every spell has its own d20 based chart the spellcaster rolls on to determine effect, with higher spell rolls producing bigger, more powerful effects.
• Powerful demi-gods and demons that take a direct interest in the PCs. The PCs may choose to Bond with these Patrons.
• Charisma stat is replaced with Luck stat that PCs can (permanently!) burn to make important rolls.
• Amazing adventure support that keeps the PCs on their toes. No boring empty rooms, bland orc fights, or lame 2000 copper treasures.
• Righteous GM advice to run engaging and fantastic games.
• Classic style art all throughout the nearly 500 page tome. Each picture is a dozen adventures! :)
• Moar dice! Uses standard polyhedrals plus d3, d5, d7, d14. d16, d24, and d30 in a brilliant dice chain mechanic.

I chose this game over Pathfinder, DnD Next, and 13th Age. It gets to the core of what I love without giant skill lists or feat trees. Buy this game!

This Level 0 funnel for DCC RPG is a great introduction to Appendix N fantasy. Weirdness, a strong bad guy, creative monsters, and dimension spanning fun all combine to make this adventure a winner. I can't wait to slaughter some 0 levels in Sleeping Beauty's castle. :)

I am so excited to play this game. The ENTIRE rules for this beautiful game are in two pages. TWO PAGES! The rules are also the GM Screen. :)

Except, there is no GM! That's right, no hours of prep work to be ruined by adventurers. No looking up or creating stat blocks. The scene framing is very Fiasco-esque, which is a plus for me. The resolution is diceless, with other players determining what the possible or actual consequences of Dangerous and Difficult actions are.

The artwork is stunning and evocative and real! All the art was taken from NASA photos and beautifully framed and colored. I have trouble believing how much awesome can appear in TWO PAGES!

Not only do you get the core game, but you also get 3 SUPPLIMENTS! Each supplement is an additional two pages, lavishly illustrated. I plan on playing with only the core rules for the first session, then adding in a supplement per session.
