Announcing the DCC Day 2021 Lineup

We’re proud to announce the lineup for DCC Day 2021!

This year will again have two releases: The DCC Day 2021 Adventure Pack and DCC Day #2: Beneath the Well of Brass. Let’s look at the details.

DCC Day 2021 Adventure Pack will be available for FREE on DCC Day, and will contain three new adventures: “Temple Siege” for DCC by Julian Bernick, “Fathoms Beneath Witch Isle” for DCC Dying Earth by Marc Bruner, and “The Neverwhen Rock” for MCC by Bob Brinkman.

DCC Day #2: Beneath the Well of Brass is a brand-new adventure by Harley Stroh, available for $10 on DCC Day.

This year, to accommodate the many differing local conditions, DCC Day items will be available online and at your FLGS. Visit a participating retailer to get the adventure pack for FREE and buy the exclusive new module on DCC Day!

Prices will be the same for both online and in retail stores: free for adventure pack, and $10 for Beneath the Well of Brass. However, if you order from the Goodman Games online store, there will still be a shipping cost, and the items will not go on sale until the actual day of DCC Day—so, accounting for shipping, the items will actually arrive after the event.

To help make things fun, we encourage you to check with your local retailer about the possibility of running in-store events during DCC Day! PLEASE be sure to obey all safety guidelines for your area, and follow all health protocols.

Goodman Games will also be hosting an online games day to help celebrate the event. More news on that as we get closer to DCC Day itself.

Retailers interested in taking part should email [email protected] for full details.

We look forward to everyone celebrating another year of Dungeon Crawl Classics with our second DCC Day event, June 26, 2021!

March 31, 2021: Hexagram #7 For The Fantasy Trip On Kickstarter In April

Nature Magic (Fantasy Grounds)

Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

This is the Fantasy Grounds MOD file version of “Nature Magic, Codex Seven of the Enchiridia Mysteria.”

Have you felt your primal urges beckoning?

Some adventurers answer the call more than others, but every spellcasting class can benefit from the powers of nature to some degree.  In this collection of 57 new spells, druids and rangers benefit the most, but every spellcaster has something to learn.  Additionally, there are 2 new class archetypes: the Circle of Roots druid, and the Warden ranger.  There are also 3 new plant monsters to help support the Circle of Roots druid.

The Warden is a special labor of love here: I was fond of the 4th edition class, and I have updated them here for 5th edition as a ranger archetype.  There are the original four guardian paths to choose from (Earthstrength, Lifespirit, Stormheart, Wildblood) as well as a new path, Wintersoul.  Updating the warden required a lot of spell support, which means that 16 spells appear only on the Warden archetype spell lists for ranger! 

You may shuffle the Warden spells around if you wish, but if you make the “Form of” spells available to normal rangers and do not keep the warden’s spell list restrictions, please give the “Form of” spells a duration of concentration to address potential power level issues that may arise.

49 of the spells are brand-new, while 8 are reworked from older spells: crack ice, form of paradise’s bounty, form of the imperious phoenix, form of the starmetal warrior, form of the stone sentinel, form of the thunderstorm, form of winter’s herald, and tanglestrike is an update of tanglestaff.

Heed the call of the wild, for it may well be a warning.

Time Is Fleeting: Active Campaign Settings

Madness takes its toll … but before we launch into a chorus of “The Time Warp,” let’s talk about time as it applies to RPG campaign settings, in particular some of those published by Green Ronin.

Freedom City Second Edition!It begins a long while ago, the 1990s, to be specific. That was when I first began to experience the notion of an “activated” game setting. Shortly before I began freelancing for FASA Corporation, the publishers of BattleTech and Shadowrun made a point of making their respective gaming universes “active” ones, places where time passed. In the case of Shadowrun, the setting was 61 years in the future, and stayed that way as time went on. Time also marched on in BattleTech’s universe, although more prone to jumping ahead a generation or two after a couple of epic wars. Then came the multiversal campaign of Torg, with it’s “live” monthly newsletter updates of the Possibility Wars.

Many other RPGs adopted what came to be known as a “metaplot,” an advancing timeline where things happened in the setting whether you were actively playing in it or not. Sometimes, a setting would start out fairly static, as it was fleshed out and detailed, and would later be “activated” to launch a metaplot and moving timeline (as was the case later on with FASA’s fantasy RPG Earthdawn).

I worked on or with all of these settings in one form or another, so the notion of an activated campaign setting became pretty common for me. Along comes the d20 System, the Open Game License, and my career at Green Ronin Publishing. I was involved with two settings right out of the gate: the world of Aldea for Blue Rose and Freedom City (what would later become Earth-Prime) for Mutants & Masterminds. Both started off as static settings, “snapshots” of a moment in time of their particular worlds. Arguably, we “activated” Freedom City when Time of Crisis, its first full adventure, was published, but at the time the adventure was an “optional” event.

It was when the second edition of Mutants & Masterminds (and Freedom City) came along a couple of years later that things got more active. Given my prior experiences, it seemed like a fun idea to not only update the stats and expand on the world information in Freedom City, Second Edition, but also to have the same
