- Episode 62: Invoke Steve Bean!
What IS Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG? Is it just a beautifully made OSR game with superior standards of art and more prodigious production of random tables? Or is it MORE than a retroclone, and if so, how does it differ from the games that hue closer to the traditional elements of the world’s most popular roleplaying game (older edition)? When we talk about OSR Games or retroclones, WHAT’S fundamentally new and different about DCC? How is it that DCC is perhaps one of the most different RPGs of the OSR, and yet is constantly said to rekindle the original spirit and nostalgia of so many oldschoolers?
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!

- Episode 59: Make Your Own Patron
This week on Spellburn we take a look at how to create a supernatural Patron! Patrons are one of the coolest and most unique aspects of Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. Every Judge will have a reason to make one as a foil, as a PC ally, and of course just for the fun of it! We’ll talk about how to generate them, how to fine-tune them and what distinguishes them from other fickle entities like the GAWDS. All this and more on this week’s episode of SPELLBURN!

- Episode 58: Invoke Stefan Poag
One of the first things people notice about Dungeon Crawl Classics is the amazing art, inside and out. In this episode, we’ll get to know one of the minds behind those evocative illustrations, and we’ll find out where else we can find his art — including pieces for RPGs in various languages, entire graphic novels of Lovecraftian influence, and even some breathtaking mosaic tile work!
