Hello, Hamsters!

We just wanted to let you know that the latest article in our GLOSS series is available now!

Presenting: a new kobold character class for Dungeon Crawl Classics!

Kobolds tend to be individually weak and therefore greatly underestimated by their foes. Such an underestimation is often a fatal mistake, since kobolds are every bit as intelligent, clever, and resourceful as humans.

Our take on the kobold emphasizes the character’s practicality and its opportunistic nature. After all, a small, physically weak species needs to maximize every advantage it can; it only makes sense to attack en masse and use the surrounding environment however possible. Such tactics might be deemed “cowardly” by taller folks, but kobolds know the best way to survive is to seize every available opportunity.

Howdy, Hamsters!

Our lastest GLOSS article for DCC is live on our website, for your enjoyment and use. This one is fundamentally a take on the Bard class, but strips out the musical performance angle in favor of just being able to use words to manipulate reality (cast spells).

Enjoy!

Hello, Hamsters! We have something new for you today: our next piece for the most excellent DCC RPG!

GLOSS #2 - DCC Catfolk, Druids, and Dragonkin continues our exploration of making simple tweaks to existing DCC classes and abilities to accommodate players who are looking for somthing a little more out there.

You can check it out on our website at https://mgshp.com/gloss-2-dcc-catfolk-druids-and-dragonfolk/ . PDF coming soon to DriveThruRPG and itch!

#2: Catfolk, Druids, and Dragonfolk In our last installment, we discussed an easy way to make human characters with the features of DCC nonhuman classes, and creating non-humans with human classes. This time, we will take those ideas a step further, and create some “new” classes by making simple...

Just picked up the maps for the first "Crypts of Sun City" playtest. If you're in my weekly group or my Gen Con event group, you'll see them close up soon enough.

Temple of the Sun exterior, preliminary sketch. It needs (a lot of) work, but I like it much more than my original take, which was a sort of ziggurat.

Nobody takes giant space hamsters seriously until it's too late.

Georgia State University scientists were "really surprised" after a gene-editing experiment led to Syrian hamsters showing high levels of aggression.

Holy moly! We're on the list of events at Gen Con, running our forthcoming DCC Module In The Crypts of Sun City!

Are you tired of rogues in tunics, knights in heavy armor, and - worst of all - minimal to no interaction with genies? Are you in the mood for something different, exciting, maybe with scimitars and flying carpets?

Quote of the Day, courtesy of Matt Finch's "A Quick Primer for Old School Gaming:"

". . . characters don’t become Superman; they become Batman. And they don’t start as Batman – Batman is the pinnacle. He’s a bit faster than normal, a bit stronger than normal, he’s got a lot of cash, a Bat Cave, a butler, a henchman (Robin) and cool gadgets.
But he can’t leap tall buildings in a single bound.

If you don’t get a feeling of achievement with Batman instead of Superman as the goal, the old school gaming style probably isn’t right for your vision of what makes good and exciting fantasy."

Hello, Hamsters!

We have two more books in the final stages of completion!

The Lost Scroll, part of our Offbeat Encounters series, sees the PCs approached by an elderly merchant as they exit a crypt or similar underground adventure. The merchant is seeking an ancient scroll and claims to need it only for historical research - but the "merchant" isn't necessarily what he seems, and neither is the scroll!

People of Zakhara: Ogres is a guidebook to integrating Zakhara's largest citizens into your campaign as player characters and NPCs. It includes information on creating player character ogres and half-ogres, as well as five NPC statblocks - allowing you to easily add ogres to your 5e game, whether it is set in Zakhara or not.

Well, I guess we just decided we're going to Gen Con this summer, inasmuch as I just put in to run playtest sessions for a DCC RPG module we're working on.

Who else is planning to be there? Anybody made up their minds yet?
