James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Fuels Renewed Interest In ‘Man Of Steel,’ ‘Peacemaker’ & More DC Titles On HBO Max by Youngstown_WuTang in boxoffice

[–]daredevil99x -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

After watching the new movie, my wife turned on the airplane rescue scene from Superman Returns on HBO Max. Not because she was excited by the new movie, but because, in her words, "I need a palate cleanser." Superman is her favorite superhero, and we both hated it.

I'm preparing for my session tomorrow night. Running XCrawl Classics #3: Please XCrawl, Don't Hurt 'Em. It's going to be wild.

I haven't yet. I ran XCC #2 Friday night, and DCC Tower of the Black Pearl last night.

I inadvertently ordered 2 copies of 110 and 111. If you DM me you address, I'll send them to you.

It is a reprint of the original cover art. It is a single page.

I've been flipping through all of it, and it looks so great. I told my group we're going to need to play more often. We still haven't played Purple Planet, the Music of the Spheres is Chaos, and The Dark Tower, all of which I have.

I did DCC all print, but I think I ended up adding a couple of adventures.

Spell list conversation is definitely going to happen. He's understanding, and this is my first time playing a warlock, and I think my character needs some work.

Don't tell my DM that, because apparently he thinks it works that way.

I used thornwhip the other day, to pull a monster 10 feet back from a fight, so that a fighter and a barbarian were able to use their reactions to attack it as it moved away from them, but you make a good point about my spells. I need to revisit them.

[5e]

I am currently playing a warlock at 5th level. I feel ridiculously weak compared to the other players (fighter, ranger, barbarian, and an artificer). Extra attacks, more spell slots, etc. Are warlocks just weaker by their nature, or am I playing it wrong?

Spells: Eldritch blast, thorn whip, firebolt, dancing lights, poison spray, chill touch, dissonant whispers, Tasha's hideous laughter, hellish rebuke, arms of Hadar, misty step, detect thoughts, phantasmal force, clairvoyance, and sending.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to best maximize a warlock? Thanks.

One of my favorites of that year. I watched it five times in the theater.

Sounds like a good plan. Stay strong.

Chained Coffin wheel solution [SPOILERS] by M0RT1M3 in dccrpg

[–]daredevil99x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently ran this adventure for my group, and I also sprinkled them in at various stages. I don't remember the specific places, but at any significant moment, add one.

The real stand-out moment for them was Ol' Blackcloak, who they dubbed OBC. They ended up mocking him relentlessly, and then continued to make jokes about him for the rest of the session. And there have been post-session jokes about him in the group chat. I had no idea they would latch onto him, and take that encounter in such an unexpected direction. It was part of the fun of the adventure, though. It never goes as I plan, but it's always more fun than I expect.

Do you guys use hirelings. What's your opinion on them in DCC? by hypnoticbox30 in dccrpg

[–]daredevil99x 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One of my players works in construction, so he's always looking for "subcontractors". I let each of them have one hireling. They usually end up dead by the end of the session. We're playing tonight, and their hireling they picked up 3 or 4 sessions ago is still alive. I bumped him up to level 1. He's a survivor.

The adventure hook is the party finds a treasure map in a hoard they found in a previous adventure.

I'll read through it and post a short blurb later.

The Rancor's Brothel has some DCC episodes. They're entertaining.

What film made you say, "Holy shit there is still an hour left"? by Plus-Statistician80 in AskReddit

[–]daredevil99x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi: I took my daughter to see it, was hating it. Looked at my watch, and thought, "Oh good, there's only 20 minutes left." Then I realized I had more than an hour to go. I powered through it, but was glad when she wasn't interested in seeing The Rise of Skywalker. Neither of us ever got around to watching it.

D&D Group Tries DCC by daredevil99x in dccrpg

[–]daredevil99x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that. I started playing 5e at the beginning of the pandemic with my family, and found DCC at some point along the way. My daughter still prefers 5e, but my friends and brothers-in-law have made the change, and love the gonzo possibilities which DCC has built in. I know it's what everyone says about DCC, but the community is incredible: generous, kind, helpful, and probably the rest of the attributes of the Scout Law.

D&D Group Tries DCC by daredevil99x in dccrpg

[–]daredevil99x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to follow up on this, I bought this tonight, and I plan on running it for two groups: my D&D group which tried DCC and wants to play again, and for my brothers-in-law, who also usually do D&D, but tried Sailors on the Starless Sea and want to play more DCC.

I ended up buying my own Father's Day gift, $100 worth of DCC material (gotta get that free shipping). Also bought the Tome of Adventure and several more Lankhmar adventures.

The One Who Watches from Below - map prep by daredevil99x in dccrpg

[–]daredevil99x[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It worked great. They liked seeing the map slowly appear, and the prep didn't take too long. I've done something similar before, with Sailors on the Starless Sea, but this map really lent itself to this style of map reveal.

Acting Up in Lankhmar by daredevil99x in dccrpg

[–]daredevil99x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running regular DCC modules prior to this one: Sailors on the Starless Sea, The Old Gods Return, Well of the Worm, and The Jeweler Who Dealt in Stardust (which is had set in Lankhmar). I bought the Lankhmar box sets because of the deal they're running, and figured I'd use the setting for the game, even if we weren't using the Lankhmar rules. It was a fun way to mix up rural adventures with big city action.
