DCC RPG Ruleset

[leozelig]

Not sure how I missed the posting. I'm usually watching the forums like a hawk. The last episode we were able to make was The Doom of the Savage Kings when we just entered into the dungeon. Both Brothers were still alive at that point. Anyway, it was totally unintentional to miss after that one; I was going thru some really tough and dark times during the making of my ruleset at the time and it just slipped my mind. Since then, I had been hoping to get back into the game if possible.

I think you missed the last session or two. The gang was ambushed by hunters sent by Jarl when they left the tomb, and half the party went down, including both Shatterbreakers. The priest rushed over and healed his brother, but he was cut down right after. The other cleric was busy healing the wizard, and I think another PC succeeded on his "roll the body" check (the dwarven priest did not).

Anyway, there will be other games. I was recording the Doom of the Savage Kings games with OBS, but that session, the recording failed to save. Too bad, I was going to post it in 30-minute episodes as an example of DCC on FG!

I fixed the hit/miss determination for attack rolls dragged to the CT from the chat window. The error was coming from the critical threshold determination, which is nil if the attack wasn't rolled from a PC or NPC sheet. I added back the [CRIT ##] message for improved critical hit range and cleaned up some of the attack manager script for two-weapon fighting.

Myrdin, I'm glad you don't mind the "automation lite" status of the ruleset. I find that too much automation sometimes over-complicates things...

If there is going to be automated elf to dwarf taunting then the reverse is necessary also! I too really enjoy the ruleset and have taken inspiration from it for the S&W ruleset (I'll finish it one day!). Once again, had a great time and thanks for running it, Leo!

JPG deserves the credit! Most of the ruleset was borrowed/modified from 3.5E

I've had a lot of fun gaming with you guys - thanks for playing!

I fixed a small bug with the spell records. If the Corruption and Manifestation fields are empty, they should be hidden when the record is locked. They were staying hidden at all times, even when unlocked and not empty.

Also, links to the ruleset in older posts (except for #1) will not work because the DropBox link has changed. Download here.

Cheers,
Leo

I just picked this up. Its weird. I looked at the online tutorials but some stuff works differently? Like, when making an item, I can't cycle through the types. Instead, I have to type in the word weapon, then it brings up the damage fields, etc.

This is pretty standard for the FG d20 based rulesets. 3.5E, 5E, etc. all have a freeform field for item type. It allows custom item types to be entered.

This ruleset is based on 3.5E, so "Weapon" and "Armor" will show different fields. Info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/....5E_Item_Sheet

That video's a year old. Things get updated/changed. The video shows v2.0, we're now on v2.9 of the ruleset. Lots of updates and changes.

I updated the character creation video, the others are overdue for an update.
