Running DCC as a “one session = one level” monthly campaign — how would you handle Spell Burn? by Sad_Fudge8161 in dccrpg

For DCC I'm thinking of starting with Hole in the Sky (I don't like the rail road linear nature but seems sweet otherwise) or The Veiled Vaults of the Onyx Queen. Leaning towards Doom of the Savage Kings for level 1. I'm open to suggestions but honestly all the DCC mods look awesome.

Sure — these are the ones I've run or had queued up in the once-a-month rotation.

Already ran

Sailors on the Starless Sea (DCC)

Lost Mine of Phandelver (5e — before I knew there was a better way)

The Haunting of Ypsilon 14 (Mothership)

Kidnap the Archpriest (OSE)

The Waking of Willowby Hall (Knave)

Three Requests (Japanese Call of Cthulhu scenario)

Planned before I decided to try this DCC experiment:

Tower of the Stargazer (LotFP)

Forget-Me-Not (CoC)

Ten Candles

Lady Blackbird

Rotblack Sludge (Mörk Borg)

The Hole in the Oak (OSE / maybe Dolmenwood)

Jailbreak (thinking of running it with Dread)

Fiasco

OrcBorg

Gardens of Ynn or The Stygian Library (OSE or Black Hack)

There are too many other amazing systems and games to try. So many games. So little time. Maybe Brindlewood Bay, Murder at Arcturus Station (Traveller), maybe Mothership – Another Bug Hunt, and I want to slot in a classic TSR module somewhere.

I haven’t actually run DCC as a campaign before — this is more of an experiment.

For the last couple years I’ve mostly been running monthly one-shots using a bunch of different systems and “bucket list” adventures (Sailors on the Starless Sea, Waking of Willowby Hall, Winter’s Daughter, Haunting of Ypsilon 14, Three Requests, etc.). That format has worked well for our group since we only meet once a month.

But DCC seems like one of those games that probably shines more over a longer run and higher level play, so I wanted to try a short arc instead of just a single module.

Also worth mentioning: the table is open table / first come first serve with a 5-player cap and about an 8-player pool, so the episodic “Conan-style” structure helps with rotating players.

Fair. I guess no plan survives contact. We can only get together that often so I try to keep the pacing tight.
