If you don’t know how, ask! You can spend an hour and make a Society check. If the DC of the check equals the DC of any other skill check that you are not trained in but are attempting, you can find a humanoid near you who can succeed for you. They are considered to have succeeded the check. The humanoid must be something that the GM decided can attempt the check and is available to complete the action.
Basics– We who are about to die Salute BBQ Ziggurat! Want your big break? You can get it if you survive the Murder Mountain Smackdown! It’s a new Dungeon Jockeys outing, and you can get your own shot at the big leagues. All you have to do is not be killed or stolen away to another universe!
Mechanics or Crunch– Do you like DCC? If so, you will like these mechanics. It’s simplistic, but DCC is not a crunch system. It’s fast and fun AND VERY VERY CRAZY! From Desert Yetis to snow gnomes to crazy creatures stealing away people to different dimensions. I had a blast running it, and the players had a blast playing it. 5/5
Theme or Fluff– The story is good, but not perfect. XCrawl walks a weird line between DCC, American Gladiators, and American Idol. That said, it does most of that well. What I really didn’t like is how the cover monster is used. There is a crazy monster that just eats characters. It’s not really explained well, in my opinion, and you don’t really fight it. I’d like a fight with it or something crazy, but it’s more just fail a roll and die. Aside from that, it’s crazy fun. 4.5 /5
Execution– This is just a repeat of many of my other Goodman Game reviews. It’s classic RPG stuff with modern layout and design. This is how DnD in 1e should have been laid out to help me as a GM run it. 5/5Summary– Aside from one monster, I feel this is a solid intro to XCrawl. It’s a funnel where LOTS of PCs will die, but you end up with a rag tag team ready to roll in the big leagues. You get your American Idol shot at being a hero on TV. As a GM, there are fun monsters, crazy events, and all kinds of shenanigans you won’t see in the more straight fantasy offerings. If only the cover monster was a bit different, it would be perfect. 97%

You must be in an are where the item would be available so being lost in the wilderness will not allow you to buy firearms from a armorer unless the GM approves it. If you succeed, you find a shop that sells the item and will give you 10% discount. You may only attempt this once per day.
