DCC RPG Ruleset

Everything damned said. I don't think the DCC ruleset has 'Turn Order-Reset' as a menu option. I usually just change the round to 0, and then hit the circular arrow button to start a new combat.

You can also duplicate NPCs in the combat tracker by grabbing the shortcut icon (brown circle at the far right of the entry) and dropping it anywhere in the CT frame. Of course, you need at least one other summoned creature in the tracker to do it that way. Maybe you could drag the NPC record to a hotkey as a backup option.

I don't know about the targeting issue. I feel like it shouldn't matter if you have a token on the map for an NPC to target a PC, but maybe I'm wrong. Try it and see what happens.

The comment about leveling up was more about DCC and the high mortality rate of the funnel.
NPCs in the CT are snapshots but PCs are living/breathing/dynamic things - their stats stay syncd.

DCC is all leozelig - he has done a great job on the ruleset.

You earned that, good job! Thank you for putting the ruleset to work :)

Here is a question that came up last week for me.
The party found an unidentified magic dagger. The rogue / thief character picked it up and put it in his inventory. He had some normal daggers. The Inventory sheet on his character did NOT show 3 normal daggers and 1 unidentified dagger, it showed 4 daggers.

If he were to discover the nature of that magic dagger, how do we pick it out of his stack of 4 to click the identify item?
Kirklandone

Hmm, I don't know. Click the item record to identified and re-drop to inventory, then delete the extra dagger.

Um, what happened to the forum? The style has changed dramatically...

Weird. I figured it out...kinda. I was on some very simple version, like for phones...then I clicked "Full Site" and it returned to what I was expecting.

That was the mobile version. Sometimes happens if you view on a mobile device or follow a link from search results.

Leozelig,

I have another oddity that I have found. One of my players had a spell caster and his spell check bonus kept growing over the course of the night. See attached image.
So, his spell check is only STAT +3 but in the chat window you can see that it is adding +11 to his die roll. His STAT is NOT adding +8 bonus to his spell check. It almost looks like some Spell Duel momentum or something.

Attachment 26504

Any ideas?
Thanks
Kirklandone

That's weird. What does the cast action look like for Flaming Hands? I made some changes to saving throws in one of the more recent updates to allow for a fixed save DC and half damage on a miss, so the spell check scripts were modified for that. I fixed an error with the base spell check calculation a few weeks ago - are you running the latest ruleset version? I am not seeing any errors on my end.

Leozelig,

I will look at the cast action for Flaming Hands and post a picture when I can. And I will check which version of the ruleset I am using. It was definitely odd behavior. It slowly crept up, it was only after the 2nd or 3rd time we noticed the oddity that I captured that image (where the bonus was +11).

Leozelig,

Sure enough, but Bonus on Flaming Hands is up to +7. With his normal base of +3... that would give me 11. I wonder if we accidentally modified the bonus at some point. But I think the mystery is solved.

Ok, that's good. Post a screenshot of the cast action details if you don't get it sorted out.

Goodman Games has granted us permission to make an official set of DCC ruleset and content. Leozelig, would you be interested in doing this under a commission?

If so, then we would leave the community ruleset as-is for people to continue using but we would branch development to an official ruleset that would also allow for official content to be produced and linked to it.

This is bonkers! What did you offer the Dark Lord??

Great news that Goodman Games wants to move forward on this!

That is amazing! Yes, I am definitely interested in helping with this.

Congrats. Look forward to good things coming to the DCC world.

Great news!

Great news for Fantasy Grounds and DCC. Great job everyone for lobbying to get this officially sanctioned.

Leozelig, I would be happy to play test any updates. Been having a blast with my group playing DCC in FG. On our 3rd modules.

Kirklandone

You can sign me up but I wonder if we would have to sign an NDA since I assume the ruleset will be a for sale item.

I’m available to format content into marketplace modules if timelines get tight and there is budget.

Oh my lord... after I just spent ALL day making a bunch of tables, items, and parcels on my own... and then thinking "hmmmm... this is a lot of work, I wonder if it'd be OK to share this".... and "Oh... I bet I should shoot an email to GG to see if that would be OK"... and I was literally about to click 'send' before thinking "You know, I should check through ALL 47 pages of that FG thread about the custom rule set to see if this has already been addressed"...

Yep. For real. But, no problem. It was a good refresher on using FG. I look forward to an official package!!! This is awesome news!

Nice work! Congrats! Not a system I am currently playing, but on my list. Thanks for your efforts.

I feel your pain :)

I have a question about Encounters and XP.

The Encounters window has a place for XP, but I have not found any documentation for how that XP gets used by FG?

Questions:
1) Should it be the total XP for the encounter or the XP each individual should get?
2) Does it get divided amongst the PCs? If so, when?
3) Does this work in the DCC Ruleset at all?
4) Is it only a Reference for the DM to tell the players complete the encounter. "Now you guys get to split xxx XP for defeating this encounter. Give yourselves yy XP each."

Thanks
Kirklandone

The XP shown for the encounter is distributed to each PC. Drop the encounter to the party sheet XP tab, and it will display in the list. When you are ready to distribute XP to the players, click the arrow, and *each* PC will get the amount shown. You can certainly use it for reference only, but it works in conjunction with the party sheet the same way treasure parcels work on the Inventory tab.

Let me know if that does not clear it up for you.

I think you answered my "How much XP should I put in the Encounter". Looks like if I wanted each person to get +2XP I would put 2XP in the encounter.

I finally found the ENCOUNTERS section of the Party Sheet. Next time I run a game I will be sure to give this a try.

Thanks
Kirklandone

Just wanted to put in a request: On the item sheet, a 'HP' field would be fantastic.

Great work on the ruleset, and awesome to see this picked up by Goodman Games finally!

Getting ready to run a one-person, 20 character-crucible tomorrow using Portal Under The Stars. Hopefully, it'll be a TPK, but we'll see. :hurt:

20 characters played by one person?! That should be interesting...

Congrats on the Ruleset gaining official status!!! Really excited to download and get a funnel running!

Of course RIGHT AFTER I finish putting a bunch of content in the software, this is released.

Curious to know what sorts of changes are in the official ruleset release vs. this version, if any, thanks.

[Edit: Will just find out when I finish running that adventure this weekend since I just grabbed it after looking at the screenshots this evening. Great work!]

Yes, I'm wondering too. Will content entered under this ruleset be compatible with the official ruleset when released?

To answer my own question, I'm no expert, but this seems to work; so far so good!

open the campaign.xml file and change

<ruleset>DCCRPG</ruleset>

to

<ruleset>DCC RPG</ruleset>

Note the space.

I installed and checked things out. Excuse me if we should submit feedback differently, but I notice a couple things:

1. It is awesome!
2. How about a customized "Backgrounds" button that says "Occupations"?
3. When adding an occupation to the character sheet, is it possible to automatically fill in the speed? i.e. 20' for dwarves and halflings and 30' for everyone else?
4. Can we get that awesome Peter Mullen decal added as an option too?
5. Additional action die is added to the features when leveling up. But, in the Actions tab. Will it be possible to add additional action die associated with the listed weapons? i.e. a 6th level cleric with a warhammer equipped. Having the automated d20 attack die, but then a second box with a d14? And with 10th level warrior having a 3rd die?
6. Should Appendix C and P be left out of the Player module?

Will there be a DCC RPG game system subforum added to the main forums page?

Did I mention it's awesome? Thank you!

1. Thank you!
2. I agree. I borrowed the default 5E theme because I like the leather desktop. I will see what I can do about getting a button made for that.
3. Yes, already done actually. I also added auto-fill support for thief skills. Just need to check that everything is working properly.
4. I am working on more decals, including the alternate cover by Peter Mullen (assuming that's what you mean).
5. The extra action dice are tricky to incorporate without redesigning the weapons list entirely, at least from a coding perspective. Currently, you can add a second weapon entry for the extra action die. You can also click the desktop button ('-2d' for a d14), but you have to do that every time you roll an attack. You can create a hotkey for each attack to make things a little more streamlined. I realize this is not a perfect solution.
6. Good eye - that was my initial plan. But then I found 2 or 3 references in spell descriptions that refer the player to one of those appendices, and it seemed like they needed to be in there. For example, 'Stinging Stone' references Appendix P.

I appreciate the suggestions. I will continue to build and incorporate more official content that was previously off limits.

Ahhh... that makes sense. Good call :)

Thanks again!

Purchased and can't wait to get home and download. Awesome work Leo! Awesome work!

This comes out and the AD&D 2e at the same time! Which one to get? I went with DCC
