Ring Side Report- RPG review of DCC Day 2023 Adventure Pack

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Product– DCC Day 2023 Adventure Pack

System- DCC RPG

Producer– Goodman Games

Price– FREE here https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/434178/dcc-day-2023-adventure-pack?affiliate_id=658618 

TL; DR– HERE IS FREE GOOD STUFF! 100% 

Basics– Hey, kid, you want to try some DCC?  Here are the DCC RPG game day free RPG adventures.  There are two separate adventures for both level 1 and level 2.

Mechanics or Crunch–   Goodman games wrote these adventures, so expect the standard level of death and dismemberment as with any low level DCC adventure.  It’s hard with sudden deaths, but not overly so.  Your first and second level characters will probably survive!  It’s standard crunch, but it’s fun!  5/5

Theme or Fluff–  Ah DCC, you crazy monster.  These adventures are all over the place.  If you need Lord of the Rings level of understanding of life, then this is not for you.  DCC is more gonzo and these are no exceptions.  They are fun, and tell a story, but it’s still crazy!  If you,  like me, enjoy a crazy story, you will enjoy this.  5/5

Execution– Like Goodman Games adventures and layout?  Then you will like this.  There are nice pictures, fun maps, and good descriptions of rooms.  The overall book is exactly what to expect in terms of layout, writing, and basic construction.  And I love that.  5/5

Summary– Go get this.  It’s FREE!  Use this with the free DCC materials to go play some games.  This is just pure fun, pure crazy, and something that you can easily use to get the family and friends in the game.  For the price of nothings, this will well worth checking out.  100%

Ring Side Report- RPG review of Caverns of Thracia Legendary Adventure 5E+DCC preview

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Product– Caverns of Thracia Legendary Adventure 5E+DCC

System- DCC+5e, note I am only reviewing the DCC version

Producer– Goodman Games

Price– FREE here   https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/goodman-games/caverns-of-thracia-legendary-adventure-5e-dcc 

TL; DR-More of what I expect from Goodman Games!  97% 

Basics– Will you face the minotaur?  Caverns of Thracia is a republication of an older DnD module from 1979 by Jennell Jaquays.  Players enter the dreaded Caverns of Thracia to face the minotaur after multiple layers of adventure.

Mechanics or Crunch–  Like dungeon crawls and DCC?  Then you will like this.  This is the normal DCC mechanics.  It’s rules light, so it’s fast.  It’s got lot’s of novel things here with over 100 new monsters to throw at the players and all kinds of traps along the way.  It’s more of the same from Goodman Games.  If you liked their previous materials, you will like this.  5/5

Theme or Fluff– I like what’s here, but I need a bit more story. The preview is just the first level with no other story.  That’s a bit nondescript.  I am not sure why there are the things that are here.  The things are the Gonzo crazy off DCC’s appendix N fantasy, but the preview lacks all the context of the book. I’m interested, but I want to know a bit more as well.   4.5 /5

Execution– Like DCC’s layout?  Then you will like this.  This is the classic DCC layout you have either come to love or hate.  It reads fast and clean, but it has lots of black and white pages.  There is art and layout to help it read fast and easily, but it is minimal.  I enjoy it, but it’s also very old school. So, I can see why it might drive away some people.  5/5

Summary– I love DCC and Goodman Games.  I’ve backed all their kicksarters/backerkits and this will be no exception.  It’s a fun book with lots of fun crazy stuff.  I want to know more about the adventure, but when it releases I will get my chance.  Now, it’s a fun adventure that has all the pieces I expect from Goodman Games.  Check out the preview and see what you think!  97%
