Our next guest has been around DCC RPG for many years.  You may know him from the very well received Tales of the Smoking Wyrm, from his Youtube show the Scrivenry, or from his ongoing Earthcrawl project which he is currently developing and funding via his patreon page. Of course you may also have said a friendly hello to him at the Goodman Games booth at Gary Con!  We welcome of course Trevor Stamper to Spellburn!

It’s March and it’s Madness. 

This year, I had a fever dream of DCC RPG as a March Madness style tournament. Complete with brackets, groups, and 6 rounds of community voting. We have made it to this ultimate evening, the finale of insanity! Sometime later in this hour, the Judges J of Spellburn will crown the Champion of Madness. The supreme publication of the DCC 3PP community. 64 titles started in the tournament. 

The people have spoken and tonight we will choose the Champion of Madness. Who will it be: 

Carnival of the Damned!

Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland!

Weird Frontiers RPG

Sky ov Crimson Flame

Crawl zine #9 – Arwich Grinder

Purple Sorcerer’s FREE online DCC tools

It’s February and that means Zinequest!  Across the RPG scene, there are lots and lots and LOTS of zines including those for DCC RPG!  This episode we are hanging out with three third party zine creators, we’ll talk about their projects, read some exciting emails, do some tavern talk– all this and more on this month’s Spellburn!

Let’s talk about the 800 pound gorilla in the room… DCC RPG is more popular than ever, played worldwide, being played on a football field in Indianapolis at GENCON… and meanwhile the Fifth edition of the world’s most popular RPG is probably more popular now than D&D was at its heyday of the 1970s!  (Especially with the kids, at least that’s what the parents tell me.)  What does this mean for DCC RPG and for Goodman Games acolytes?  How do we leverage 5E’s popularity for DCC?  What’s the Fifth Edition Fantasy line all about?   We are lucky to have a dweller in both worlds, Alex Kurowski with us tonight and we’ll talk all this and more on the first Spellburn of 2025!

Well it’s Judge James’s birthday – today, November 25th, and he has some questions. Not “Where do babies come from?” or “Why, god, why?” but “How does one navigate publishing their own RPG?” So in the spirit of James becoming older, we had some friends over to celebrate and help guide us and others, on the foolish journey of creating an RPG!

The smell of woodfire… the crackle of leaves….. The flash of ghostly presences out of the corner of your eye… the sound of Peter Frampton coming alive (wait… wrong podcast.)   It’s almost Halloween!  We’ve survived another year, another Game Hole Con, and tonight we bring you a bloodcurdling guest from the world of DCC Dark Fantasy…. An esteemed publisher, writer and youtuber, Mr. Nick Baran (even more terrifying, he also runs a merch booth at many conventions!)  Welcome Judge Nick!

Hi-tech RPG campaigns take the fantastically magical and turn it into applied science. Tonight’s show is all space, computers, laser guns. The only swords we’ll be talking about are of the vibro variety. We’re going to dive into high tech games like MCC RPG and the various DCC 3rd party publications that bring sci-fi settings to the table in this month’s episode of Spellburn!

Important!

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.
