Ring Side Report- RPG review of Grave Robbers of Thracia

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Product– Grave Robbers of Thracia

System- DCC RPG

Producer– Goodman Games

Price– OUT SOON!

TL; DR-A great intro to an adventure series!  100%

Basics–  Where are they going?  The dead walk and towns disappear.  Where did they go and can you save your town?

Mechanics or Crunch– God I love a good funnel.  I also want to get a good quick intro to Thracia.  This gives me the mechanical intro to DCC and whittles down the players.  This is a solid, basic funnel.  5/5

Theme or Fluff–  I don’t know much about Thracia, and this gives you the basics of the world.  The world can’t be fully explained, but you get some monsters, some gods, and a fun intro to the world.  It’s enough to hook you for more.  5/5

Execution–  This is Goodman Games.  They know how to write adventures and their audiences.  I love everything here.  5/5

Summary–  This is a good funnel by a good company.  I also love fighting undead, so this is a match made in heaven.  After this adventure, I can’t wait to hop into the larger Caverns of Thracia adventure!  100%

Ring Side Report- RPG review of Dungeon Crawl Classics #107: Forgotten Dangers

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Product– Dungeon Crawl Classics #107: Forgotten Dangers

System- Dungeon Crawl Classics

Producer– Goodreads

Price– $10.99 here  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/506125/dungeon-crawl-classics-107-forgotten-dangers?affiliate_id=658618 

TL; DR– Good intro DCC RPG One-shots.  97% 

Basics–  Let’s jump in!  Forgotten dangers is a group of six random DCC adventures.  They are not really connected to each other, but they are small, bite sized fun that you can drop into any DCC game.

Mechanics or Crunch–  These adventures are set up well enough to be the right mix of deadly and fun. The crunch here works.  There are crazy powerful items to play with as well as crazy powerful dangers.  It’s solid DCC RPG fun. 5/5

Theme or Fluff–   The individual adventures are fantastic, but I wish there was a connection between them.  The individual adventures are all bat crap crazy, and that’s exactly what you play DCC for.  The fault is the individuals are not connected.  The adventures are good, but I wish they were a bit connected.  4.5/5

Execution–  Solid layout, text, art, and flow make this an easy read. If you need an adventure for a session you did not prepare for, these adventures, while a bit simple, are enough that you have a solid four hours and can just hop right in as a GM.  5/5

Summary– I love DCC RPG.  I love random one shots.  This product is just those.  It’s fun, but I wish this was a campaign or written where it could be.  But without flow, this is still just solid fun to run with your friends. 97%
