Ring Side Report- RPG Review of Dungeon Crawl Classics Dying Earth #0: The Black Obelisk

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Product– Dungeon Crawl Classics Dying Earth #0: The Black Obelisk

System- DCC RPG

Producer– Goodman Games

Price– $7 here https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/393054/Dungeon-Crawl-Classics-Dying-Earth-0-The-Black-Obelisk?affiliate_id=658618 

TL; DR-Short and Sweet! 97%

Basics–  Time for the trip!  You are all traveling for a possibly once in a lifetime religious trip across the dying earth.  Will you survive and thrive or will you die along the way?  What will your god have to say about the things you do along the way?

Mechanics or Crunch– This is a fun multichoice adventure, but it’s short.  There are three paths the players can take, but the paths might need a bit more.  I like what’s here, but if your players don’t roleplay a ton, you will get this done in about two hours.  That’s pretty short!  4.5/5

Theme or Fluff– This does feel like DCC, and now I want to read some Vance.  I didn’t read a ton of Jack Vance before this.  I know its where DnD magic comes from, but that was the extent of my knowledge.  After reading this, I feel its themed enough to feel like a DCC funnel as I kill loads of PCs, but I also feel like I want to learn more about the world this comes from.  5/5

Execution– PDF? Yep.  Funnel?  Yep.  Hyperlinked?  Yep. Solid Art?  Yep.  Good layout?  This is what I expect from Goodman Games and a funnel.  Solid work Goodman games!   5/5

Summary–  This was a fun adventure to get my players into the world of the Dying Earth.  Heck it got ME into the world of the Dying Earth!  I want to read more of this to get deeper in, so mission accomplished there adventure!  The crunch is good with the only real problem being the length of the adventure.  It’s not bad by any stretch, but it is short.  At a con on the last day, that might be a godsend for BOTH the GM and the players as you want to keep having fun, but you need a rest.  But, as a start, it’s a few points off.  That said, if my only real complaint about this product is I want more, then this is a solid product!  97%

Daily Punch 5-5-23 Grab and Ride barbarian and fighter feat for Pathfinder 2nd Ed

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Been playing God of War again, so here is an idea that comes right from there!

Grab and Ride 2 actions Feat 6

Barbarian Fighter

You’ve gotten used to directing your opponents in battle! Make a basic melee strike against an opponent who is at least one size category larger then you. If the attack is successful, you do damage equal to your Strength modifier and climb on the back or top of your opponent and can direct them around. This counts has having the creature grabbed. While riding them, as an action you can make them take the stride action. Any creature they move through may make a reflex save or take damage equal to the Strength modifier of the creature your are riding. The creature can escape the grab as normal, and you can change this to restrained following the normal rules for doing so. You can also strike the creature as normal as well.
