My home game switched from D&D to DCC and we haven't looked back. It's just too much fun. The art is awesome, the Magic is crazy, mighty Deeds are super fun, Luck really work as a mechanic, the dice are funky - IT'S GREAT! We are on Session 9 of my home game and no one wants to go back to D&D. Also the community is fantastic and welcoming to newbies. Goodman Games and the Dungeon Crawlers Discord are always running beginner sessions. The starter First Time Fan bundle is a great deal, and gets you everything you need to get rolling!

I have run this game a few times. We have never actually played the game with characters with levels, but every time we've played it, everyone has had a blast playing.

I love DCC! I've played it a bunch. I usually run funnels, but currently I'm running a campaign through the Lankhmar boxset with other modules! its been great so far.

I've been playing DCC for the past five months or so, and I love it. I'm a player in a game where we each have two PCs, and I'm the judge for two games where the players have one PC each. Everyone has been a gamer (and has specifically played D&D since AD&D 2e came out), and we all appreciate how tight the classes are and how magic functions for Wizard/Elf and the Cleric. Very smart systems. It's also nice that all of the classes feel so different and focused, with truly interesting takes on older, classic abilities. Thanks for your review!

This is my favorite game! The adventures absolutely elevate it so much

Empire of The East is mind blowing. The trilogy of novels from the 70's, I mean. It's epic! The setting didn't get much love but that just means that a Judge can add more to it to make it their own

DCC!!!! Woot Woot! 3D6 Down The Line!!! The first level zero funnel I ran was brutal! 30+ dead with 4 survivors, one being a shepherd's dog. The dogs getting its level one with the Canine class by Breaker Press Stennard DCC.

Mutant Crawl Classics is also a great game. It's the same game system except set in a world where a nuclear apocalypse happened over a thousand years ago and humanity has been reduced to the stone age but ancient technology gives magic-like power.

(Sorry, I went on a bit here) My somewhat salty take: Dungeon Crawl Classics is like if someone said, "what if D&D was actually fun?" I've also said it "actually delivers on what D&D's amazing art from the 70s & 80s promised, but never delivered." I've been in the hobby since the 80s, and I've bounced off D&D every time I've tried to play it (I've played at least one session of every edition except for 4th). DCC is so close to D&D, yet whatever magic is in its sauce, it is actually fun to play in a way D&D never was for me. I think of DCC is as a "3rd Person" game as opposed to a "1st Person" one. In a lot of games I've played over the years, I've really tried to, for lack of a better word, inhabit my characters, to get into their thought processes, and to see the world through their eyes, etc. I still do a bit of that with DCC, but I lean more toward watching the character and seeing what insanity they get themselves mixed up in. I've played it a couple times and run it a bunch, and while I'm still learning some aspects, I really like it, overall. And there's SO much amazing community content out there, too. So far none of my games have managed to get anyone quite to 3rd level. I'm very curious what it looks like at higher levels. I sort of love that the game is very swingy, and there's a tendency to throw characters in over their heads. Heck, I had a group made up of zero, 1st, and 2nd level characters go through Sailors on the Starless Sea, and if it wasn't for a couple of super good rolls, they came close to a TPK. And that's a module meant for zero levels. Getting used to throwing encounter balance out the window is something DCC teaches time and again. The zero-level "funnel" adventures are wonderful. Instead of coming up with some background and trying to wedge it into the ongoing game, you literally play through your character's origin. And because there's so much randomness in both creating the zero-level characters and which ones make it out the other end of that funnel (if any), you can end up with very surprising and fun characters. The game also works well, as far as I've seen, with characters of multiple levels. I've had a player with a couple 2nd level characters take on a zero-level because they rescued a peasant from a monster. I had a group where one player had characters going from 1st to 2nd when another player joined with four zero-levels, and then as that new player's characters were heading into 2nd, a third player joined with four zero-levels. The mixed party worked just fine. Anyway, welcome. DCC is not my favorite game, but it's the closest thing to D&D I'd actually want to play. It's been a wonderful discovery after getting back into the hobby after a long break. I'm glad more folks are discovering it. And it seems to have a really good, mostly kind and generous community. Not to say there isn't toxicity; I'm sure there is. But so far, I've seen very positive folks in the DCC community.

I love DCC it's such a wacky little game. The idea of funnels is great and there's so much sillyness to be had in the game.

Holy mother of mercy. If that book comes in hardback, you could give yourself a hernia.

Dont be intimidated by the books size. the rules are easy and based on D&D 3rd edition. you can play the game without ever having read the entire book. Everyone who loves oldschool rpgs should play this game

Great game! LOVE IT! Great job on the review!!!

Nicely done. We run semi-regular DCC games online. You're welcome to join in any time.

This is my jam!

Hyperborea is a massive book as well. Please give that a look. Love the channel!!🎉

DCC is so good. My players don't even want to play level 1 adventures, just more meat grinder funnels lol

Nice video of a great game

Thank you for the video. I agree it’s a fun system. ❤

The soft bound book is just so hard to hold and read. I recommend the hardback.

Coach Key, you should give Mutant Crawl Classics a try since you like DCC. Have some gonzo mutant post-apocalypse fun! =)

Coach Key, you are awesome.
