    D&D 5E Returning vs New vs Current player

    Favorite D&D Retroclone?

    For the four systems I bought (Labyrinth Lord, Basic Fantasy, ACKS, and DCC), Goodman games DCC is hands down my favorite to run. The character generation funnel system, warrior mighty deeds die, the disfavor system for clerics - corruption for wizards, and random spell results for all casters...

    D&D 5E Magic Item Slots in D&D Next

Perhaps the DMG...

    20 years of playing D&D

    Leesburg, VA LFPs Goodman Games DCC RPG

    Looking to see how many players might be interested in a Goodman Games DCC RPG campaign in Leesburg, VA. If you are not aware of DCC RPG, it is system roughly based on D&D 3.5, though retro in mechanics favoring 1st edition D&D. To be clear it will not appeal to all players, below are some of...
