Spellburn

We’re approaching DCC# 100 and we’re also approaching Spellburn 100! What better way to celebrate an anniversary than to reflect on some great stuff of the past 8 years!  I want to do a series of episodes on classic (and maybe even new and unsung!) adventures and there’s obviously no better place to start than Sailors on the Starless Sea!  We’ll find out if it was the first or second funnel with the world’s foremost authority on Sailors and on many more DCC adventures!

We let our blessings get mouldy, and then call them curses.” What’s in a curse? At most gaming tables, they’re uttered by players when critical failures pop up. But curses in DCC are an under-utilized mechanic! They’re not just for the Shudfolk! If you’re looking to switch up your NPC casters to make them unpredictable, offer a touch of magic to players without overpowering the party, or spice up your treasure hauls, curses are the way to go.

What has the COVID wrought on the gaming community?  One silver lining in all the con cancellations and lack of gamer funk as well as physical hugs is that we have had the opportunity to meet lots of new friends via Zoom, Roll20, Hangouts and more!   This extends far beyond the continental US across the oceans and even to Europe!  Svebor Midzic joins us as our third international guest to talk virtual gaming, DCC, Dying Earth and just whatever the hell he wants to talk about!

No matter what your tenure as a fan of DCC RPG, you know that this gaming community embraces fan-made material like few others. And that means we also embrace those creators! Our guest for this show has been drafting & sketching DCC monsters since 2012 on his “Appendix M” blog. Until now, we’ve all known him as the silent “Bygrinstow”, the madman behind the Hot Dog Suit class – but tonight we unveil another Judge J: Jon Wilson!
