Dancing in the Moonlight

Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

The mist surrounds us and I am eternally grateful for it, but it saddens me when
that beautiful mist chooses to fade, the forest devours it and we are destined
to suffer days or even weeks of gross boredom. STUPID FOG, I HOPE THE LIGHT
WOULD RETURN TO THIS PLANE, AND SO YOU WOULD KNOW THE PAIN OF RETREAT
AND DISSIPATE… damn you, whimsical fog; you frustrate my desire to spit on the
face of some stranger passing by.
The mist will return
soon will return
out of pity
come back now
bring another victim
now
now
now
Come back damn shitty fog, my boys are anxious, they want to dance, and
they’re ready.


Dancing in the Moonlight is a 2-hour one-shot for a group of 4 level 5 characters,
where they will have to face a family of psychopaths who tend a pig farm in the
demiplane of dread. The adventure takes place in Ravenloft and because the
sinister and oppressive nature of the world, it focuses first on survival.

The Winners of the Return to the Starless Sea

The Winners of the Return to the Starless Sea

by Terry Olson

This year that shall not be named has assailed us with challenges and hardship, but briefly, over one hundred players left it all behind to Return to the Starless Sea! This fourth annual DCC RPG Team Tournament was unlike its three predecessors in many ways: it featured a funnel; it had only two rounds; different round 1 flights had different content; the final round had six teams competing; teams couldn’t pre-select PCs; and IT HAD A WIZARD VAN! The design team had intended the tournament to be run for over 500 players at Gen Con, and we even had space reserved in Lucas Oil Stadium! Gen Con was canceled, but that didn’t stop the reavers of DCC.

Round 1 began with five players, each with four zero-level PCs, in a possible future that occurs after Sailors on the Starless Sea. A peasant army surrounded the new chaos keep, trying desperately to enter. The keep’s walls churned and melted, with spectral faces screaming from the living chaos stone and magic portals flashing open and closed. Almost one-third of the peasants died trying to enter the keep (282 in total!), but the survivors used guile and a whole lot of Luck to triumph and enter the keep.

After conquering a four-armed vine horror, the survivors descended a beastman-guarded crater. At the bottom was a pulsing crimson ziggurat! Here, our poor damaged gongfarmers battled past a swarm of waxy meltmen to confront a pulsing crystal at the ziggurat’s zenith. Judge Stefan Flickinger’s team had less than a minute of play time remaining when Mat Sauers’ PC hit the crystal with a sling bullet and his teammates yelled, “YOU CAN BURN LUCK FOR DAMAGE!” With 11 points of Luck burned, he triumphed! When teams shattered the crystal, however, things went from bad to worse. The pyramid shuddered, pitched, and rose as a huge body bulged underneath. It was a cyclopean soul-eating leviathan! But before the leviathan could destroy the characters, the impossible happened: a WIZARD VAN teleported out of the blue to save them! Piloted by none other than the Purple Sorcerer himself! “Come with me if you want to live,” he told the PCs, “The only way to end this is to stop it from beginning!”

Thus ended round 1 of Return to the Starless Sea, which

Publisher: D10 Dimensions

This product is a list of useful modern items that could be found by players scavenging for supplies from the recently fallen or old corpses in the wasteland. Most of these items have some value but they might not be specifically useful for characters at that time. Others might be useful as trade in the black market.

This list is intended for any dark future setting (like Gamma World, Twilight 2000, Aftermath, After the Bomb, Rifts, etc.) where the apocalypse has happened, and bodies and scavengers are common. This list can be applied to a shambling zombie, a freshly dispatched punk, a grim biker, or some scavenger sleeping off a good meal. This roleplaying tool gives you dozens of easy ways to add a new dimension to your next fallen citizen.

This Roll Percentile list has one hundred possible results in this format:

Roll result: A brief description of the object(s) that can found on the body of the dead.

October 31, 2020: New Halloween Map For Deadly Doodles

Tested during FnordCon 2.3, we’ve launched a new holiday map for Deadly Doodles! The Halloween map features a jack-o-lantern face and some brutal corridors. It integrates the diamond and skull coin mechanic found in Deadly Doodles 2, but with a regular d6 it is playable with your original copy of Deadly Doodles as well. The designers have put a lot of tricks into the map  tight halls, lots of dead ends, and many other challenges. But it’s a treat to play, and you’ll feel rewarded when you do get a high score!

[Image]

Big thanks to our players at the FnordCon online event earlier this month, who helped playtest this map. You can download the map and print it out to play at home as well, but I’d suggest laminating it so that you can use dry erase markers and reuse it in later games.

Happy Halloween!
