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%
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%

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%
